Candela Ivanhoe - 40 Upper Heidelberg Road, Ivanhoe

Everlea - 452 Cheltenham Road, Keysborough

Diversified investment group and property developer Salter Brothers is set for its first development play in the Queensland capital.

While they own and operate a handful of retreats across the Gold Coast and outer Brisbane through their Spicers Retreats brand which they acquired in late 2022, their new project, exclusively revealed by Urban.com.au, is their first within the City of Brisbane.

Salter Brothers, who is based in Melbourne but has several hotels and commercial assets nationally, is seeking to demolish the Mercure Brisbane Garden City Hotel in Upper Mount Gravatt and develop a new 17-level apartment building at 18 Macgregor Street, Upper Mount Gravatt.

They've had Bates Smart, who has worked more in Sydney and Melbourne since it was founded in the mid-1850s, 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.

<img alt="salter Mt Gravatt" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="c4dec6fa-570c-4013-839c-62b39b4f9104" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screen%20Shot%202024-04-23%20at%201.25.21%20pm.png?VersionId=7_hXoO1RkzCAYSX0V_05iv_vT4kAgzO5" />

The residential apartments will start from level six and run through to level 17. The apartments are expressed as "gently undulating petals," Bates Smart wrote in their submission to the Brisbane City Council.

"The tower form and floorplate have been inspired by the native indigenous Tea Tree Flower and Wallum Banksia, two species of flora endemic to the region. This resulted in each apartment being expressed as an individual 'petal' with a curved edge, spatially and visually separated from the apartment adjacent."

There will be eight apartments per floor, six two-beds and two three-bedders. Living rooms and balconies are oriented to achieve maximum amenity through view outlook and solar access.

<img alt="Salter" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="eb15e66d-6ece-43de-b33b-7d832cc94911" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screen%20Shot%202024-04-23%20at%201.32.50%20pm.png?VersionId=Pyl1YkGAsejRI6Q3jL5b6hz5Nuy6t.a5" />

A rooftop communal terrace will span the entirety of level 18. It's been conceived as an extension of the nearby Toohey Forest Park which is known for its ecological significance and native flora and fauna. The rooftop will have&nbsp; a pool, mineral spa, and a landscaped seating area oriented to the north where they enjoy primary view outlook towards Mount Gravatt.

A resident gym and separate amenity room are located east and west of the core, while to the south there will be a landscaped barbecue area.

<img alt="Upper Grav" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="098f0bfc-085f-4f7f-83d6-da8e00d8cb32" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screen%20Shot%202024-04-23%20at%201.32.55%20pm.png?VersionId=RI9wF8PPHdGo8JbBQQH8ADFNpRbpwNqc" />

Bates Smart said&nbsp;Mount Gravatt was known by the local Turrbal and Jagera Peoples as 'kaggur-madul', meaning the 'Place of the Echidna', or 'Where Echidnas Rest'.

They said they when they designed the external shading system, they took inspiration from the delicate fine grain repetition of echidna spikes and their use in traditional indigenous jewellery making, where the quills were dried, treated with emu oil, and then assembled into beautiful strings of necklaces which express a strong linear repetition that enhances the legibility of curved surfaces they adorn.

The 5,356 sqm site is ideally located a five-minute walk from Garden City Westfield, one of Brisbane's largest shopping centres.

&nbsp;

Down in its native Melbourne, Salter is currently developing <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/candela-ivanhoe-40-upper-heidelberg-road-ivanhoe">Candela Ivanhoe</a>, 62 one, two three and four-bedroom apartments in Melbourne's north east.

Construction kicks off at Ivanhoe's newest lifestyle-led apartment development, Candela Ivanhoe

Ivanhoe, located just 10-kilometres from Melbourne's city centre, is a neighbourhood rich in history.

In the 1850s, Ivanhoe Primary School was established, followed by hotels, public gardens, orchards, a racecourse, and villas. The Upper Heidelberg Road Fire Station, now the Italian restaurant L'Artigiano, is one of the area's most significant buildings.

Confidence nod at Candela Ivanhoe as penthouses snapped up

Melbourne property developer Salter Brothers has confirmed that, following an extensive selection process, an Early Contractor Involvement (ECI) Agreement has been signed with Camillo for its new Ivanhoe apartment development, Candela Ivanhoe.

This means that over the coming months, Salter Brothers and Camillo will work together on detailed designs, with the intention to proceed towards signing a build contract.

Salter Brothers Project Director, Dumindha Ranasinghe, said he is very pleased to be progressing the Candela Ivanhoe development towards its construction phase with Camillo, a highly reputable and experienced company with a specialist focus on building high quality boutique developments.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=342 project_image_fid=190299]

Camillo General Manager, Daniel Zammit, also commented on how pleased his company is to be involved with Salter Brothers’ Candela Ivanhoe development and to be assisting with activities to prepare for the commencement of construction.&nbsp;

“Ivanhoe is a highly sought after area of Melbourne and to be involved with a landmark project of architectural excellence such as Candela, and with a professional partner in Salter Brothers, is a very pleasing result,” Zammit said.&nbsp;

With a striking glass facade, Candela will deliver 62 apartments to Ivanhoe, with a mix of&nbsp;one, two, three and four-bedroom apartments, penthouses and loft-style residences.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=342 project_image_fid=169535]

Architect John Demos and interior designer Kathy Demos collaborated on the design of the residences, which will sit across&nbsp;six light-filled levels, suiting singles, couples and families.

Beyond Candela’s smart and flexible floor plans, a focus has also been placed on creating sustainable and energy efficient homes, with the building set to achieve a 7-star energy rating.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=342 project_image_fid=169534]

All apartments are designed to enhance daylight access in both living areas and bedrooms in a bid to reduce&nbsp;reliance on electric lighting, in addition to a 25kW Solar PV system that will be installed on the roof to help power the communal areas and reduce Owner’s Corporation contributions.&nbsp;

Both a communal rooftop terrace and a communal ground floor space will be constructed in Candela Ivanhoe, with the areas featuring barbecue facilities, seating areas and extensive landscaping.&nbsp;

Construction is tipped to wrap by late 2024, with prices starting from $555,000 for a one-bedroom apartment. Two-bedders are priced from&nbsp;$755,000, while three-bedroom floorplans start from $1.1 million. The grander four-bedroom configurations begin at $1.76 million.&nbsp;

Salter Brothers signs Early Contractor Agreement with Camillo for Candela Ivanhoe apartments

Only 10 kilometres from the heart of the city, Ivanhoe is one of Melbourne’s most historically rich neighbourhoods.

Recognised as an area with great vitality and landscape appeal, Ivanhoe is bordered by Darebin Creek to the west and the Yarra River to the south, and offers a unique village lifestyle surrounded by parks, walking paths and golf courses – making it a walker’s paradise.&nbsp;

The unique charm and potential of Ivanhoe was what attracted developers Salter Brothers, who have taken to the unique location in the heart of Ivanhoe village to deliver their latest residential project, Candela Apartments.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=342 project_image_fid=169535]

The investment group’s impressive portfolio comprises luxury residences, hotels and restaurants in some of Australia’s most desirable locations.

In addition, there are three double storey family- sized loft apartments, comprising four bedrooms with a second upstairs living zone, dedicated study area, laundry chute and an opulent master bedroom suite.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=342 project_image_fid=169544]

The apartments are considered as a retreat for rest and rejuvenation. Generously sized and designed with options to suit all purchasers whether they be downsizers, first home buyers, couples or families without compromising on amenity, location or quality.

Internally, apartments include an over-sized living areas and bedrooms, complemented by stone bench tops throughout, wool carpets in the bedrooms, Miele kitchen appliances and an integrated refrigerator.

Each of the apartments also features excellent natural light and views, whilst the penthouses enjoy large terraces with top floor panoramic views.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=342 project_image_fid=169537]

Benefiting from the height and orientation of the building,&nbsp;residents will enjoy unrivalled views from the city skyline or the Dandenong Ranges.

With the city only 20 minutes away by car or train, the development presents the opportunity to live in one of Melbourne’s most rewarding and connected locations. Stroll two minutes up the road for a morning coffee, grocery shopping, gourmet dining, all services and more, with the village conveniences delivering the ultimate inner-urban lifestyle.&nbsp;
