Colindia

Colindia - 5 Colindia Avenue, Neutral Bay

We’ve taken a closer look at the top five developments Fortis currently have across Sydney and Melbourne.

Long-standing and renowned developer&nbsp;Fortis has developed a solid portfolio across Australia&#39;s two biggest capitals, with more than $276 million in successfully completed projects.

The group&rsquo;s future is just as prosperous with new developments, valued at over $2.2 billion in the pipeline for completion in the coming years.

We&rsquo;ve taken a closer look at the top five developments Fortis has both in Sydney and Melbourne in 2022.

1. Piper -&nbsp;2A Wunulla Road, Point Piper, NSW

Piper is the first collaboration between Fortis and Dare Property Group, who has teamed up to create a rare new development in the most affluent suburb in the whole of Australia.

Sharing its postcode with some of Australia&rsquo;s most prestigious and historic homes, Piper,&nbsp;at 2A Wunulla Road, there will have just 15 exclusive residences, which will have interiors by MIM Design and sit in landscaping by Dangar Barin Smith.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=6126 project_image_fid=191996]

There will be a mix of two, three and four-bedroom apartments across the boutique four-level building. Each apartment will feature soaring ceilings, open layouts and large living, entertaining, and outdoor areas. Some of the apartments will even have their own private pools.

The three two-bedroom plus study apartments start from 127 sqm of internal space, the three-bedroom apartments start from 161 sqm internal, and the biggest offering, the four-bedroom apartments, have an internal living space between 210 sqm and 260 sqm.

&quot;The rich design palette places a deep focus on the polished and matte, the light and dark, the coarse and soft, heralding the mineralised and lustrous qualities hidden within Piper&rsquo;s natural forms,&quot;&nbsp;Miriam Fanning of Mim Design said.

Completion on the development is&nbsp;scheduled for the first quarter of 2024.

2. Mona Road - 1 Mona Road, Darling Point, NSW

Fortis will soon launch Mona Road, their first development in Darling Point, another high end harbourside suburb in Sydney.

The premium mixed-use development will offer both residential and retail at the Mona Road site. Created by award-winning architects MHNDU, Mona Road features six residential floors with a mix of one, two and three-bedroom apartments, with terraces and balconies capturing views across the city, harbour, nearby Paddington and surrounds.

The creative inspiration for the site comes from the history-steeped harbourside corridor it overlooks, with respect paid to the original brickwork of the fa&ccedil;ade.

Situated at the gateway to the Eastern Suburbs between Potts Point and Double Bay, the north-oriented site occupies a prominent frontage along Mona Road&mdash;only four kilometres from the Sydney CBD.

Edgecliff Station is a 350-metre walk, while major bus and ferry routes are also within easy reach, providing regular services towards the city and beyond.&nbsp;

Construction on the development is expected to be completed by late 2023.

3. Colindia &ndash; 5 Colindia Avenue, Neutral Bay, NSW

Currently in the market in Sydney is Colindia, north of the bridge in the sought-after Neutral Bay on the Lower North Shire.

Inspired by nature&rsquo;s organic shapes and raw textures, Colindia presents as a sculpted artform, nestled at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=90627 project_image_fid=188118]

Designed by PBD Architects, Colindia&rsquo;s four levels comprise six half-floor residences crowned by a full-floor penthouse.

&ldquo;We approached these residences as a sculpted artform, inspired by natural, organic fluid forms and materials,&quot;&nbsp;Paul Buljevic from PBD Architects said

&quot;The use of curved walls creates a soft and inviting spatial experience, with masonry elements that accentuate verticality.&quot;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=90627 project_image_fid=188114]

Separated from nearby buildings, Colindia&#39;s discreet street frontage opens up to just two residences per floor, with the penthouse sweeping across a whole-floor.

The feature balustrades on the balconies also serve to create added privacy between residences.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=90627 project_image_fid=188115]

From front to back, each residence extends the full length; the open-plan living designed to maximise the space, light and views, with full-height windows creating a connection to the terraces and courtyards beyond.

4. Pillar + Tide &ndash; 41A Blackstreet, Brighton, VIC

Just moments from the buzz and flow of Church Street and the idyllic Brighton waterfront, Pillar+Tide presents 16 contemporary residences that explore the relationship between the indoor and outdoor.

Presented as a monolithic structure with two street fronts softened by verdant greenery, Pillar+Tide takes over three existing sites to create a singular vision.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=88756 project_image_fid=192665]

Shaped by award-winning architects&nbsp;Carr, the design is defined by rhythmic fa&ccedil;ade elements, robust natural materials and an abundance of space reflective of Brighton&rsquo;s local architectural context.&nbsp;

&ldquo;The design language of Pillar+Tide is shaped by both permanence and longevity,&quot;&nbsp;Carr Managing Director Chris McCue said.

&quot;The interiors are under-stated, elegant and intuitively planned, but equally integrated with unique, thoughtful and bold contemporary architecture. There&rsquo;s a deep sense of timelessness, with the use of robust natural materials and a return to quality that will delight for years and generations to come.&quot;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=88756 project_image_fid=192660]

Considerable design emphasis has gone into planning the master suite and living areas to follow a spacious and open layout, while each residence is further complemented by wrap-around gardens and lush, low maintenance landscaping by&nbsp;Acre.

A rare and sought-after corner location, Pillar+Tide puts an abundance of retail, caf&eacute;s and restaurants within easy reach, together with excellent transport connections and&nbsp;tree-lined streets.

5. Brighton Street &ndash; 8 Brighton Street, Richmond, VIC 

Later this year Fortis is expected to launch their Brighton Street project.

Just moments from the bustling Church Street and Swan Street intersection in Richmond, 8 Brighton Street has been designed by&nbsp;SJB Architects and will see apartments and commercial suites built above a modern ground floor retail precinct.

Central to the vision for 8 Brighton Street is to reflect the site&rsquo;s rich heritage context, whilst also evoking a fresh, contemporary approach to living and working.

&ldquo;The location within Richmond &ndash; along with the Activity Centre zone which permits retail, residential and commercial &ndash; is what really sets this site apart from others,&rdquo; Colliers agent Ben Baines said.

<img alt="" height="856" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/screen_shot_2022-03-08_at_9.32.12_am.png" width="1478" />

The design, materials and finishes will be selected to work in seamless harmony, allowing the completed building to grow into its inner-city surroundings.

Occupying a corner site in one of Melbourne&rsquo;s most popular inner-city neighbourhoods, 8 Brighton St enjoys easy access to the CBD and key business districts. The site has three street frontages, with an abundance of amenities in its immediate vicinity.

Numerous train and tram stops are less than 200 metres away, while the site is a short walk away from caf&eacute;s, restaurants, bars, supermarkets and parks.

Construction is due to be complete on the Brighton Street site by early 2023. &nbsp;

Fortis’ top 5 apartment developments across Sydney and Melbourne in 2022

Sydney luxury real estate prices are expected to surge by nine per cent this year, according to Knight Frank’s Prime Global Forecast

With Sydney&#39;s luxury market proving resilient, many buyers are seeing the benefit of downsizing to a high-end apartment development at an affordable price.

Sydney luxury real estate prices are expected to surge by nine per cent this year, according to Knight Frank&rsquo;s Prime Global Forecast.

With many making the move to the unit market as a result of growing housing prices, buying from a developer with a track record and long-term commitment to delivering quality projects has become all the more important for aspiring investors.

Below are four of the best downsizer developers delivering residences in NSW that you should keep an eye on in 2022.

<h2>1. Fortis</h2>

Inspired by a shared passion for excellence, Fortis has continued to grow its portfolio under the instruction of Patrick Keenan, Dan Gallen and Charles Mellick, since its inception in 2016.

Partnering exclusively with leading architects, designers and builders, Fortis boasts a portfolio exceeding $276&nbsp;million in successfully completed projects.

The group recently launched their latest NSW development in Neutral Bay, set to reach completion in late this year. &nbsp;

Nestled at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, Colindia boasts seven residences with expansive terraces, panoramic views and minutes from popular restaurants, caf&eacute;s and bars.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=90627 project_image_fid=188114]

Designed by PBD Architects, the development comprises six half-floor residences crowned by a full-floor penthouse, while more than 40 per cent of the site features landscaped gardens.

Fortis&rsquo; new developments due for completion in the coming years have been valued at over $2.2&nbsp;billion.

This year Fortis will launch their Mona Rd, Darling Point project, as well as their first apartment development in the blue chip suburb, Point Piper.

<h2>2. Sun Property Group (SPG)</h2>

Launched in 2010, Sun Property Group has spent over 10 years producing and delivering quality residential and mixed-use property developments across Sydney.

Led by Wayne Sun, the company has primarily focused on Sydney&rsquo;s affluent Lower North Shore area.

Currently the team at SPG, who has also just ventured in to the luxury Melbourne apartment market, are selling The Ashton, a collection&nbsp;of just 13&nbsp;apartments on Mosman&#39;s Spit Road.

Designed by A+ Design Group, Ashton was the winner of the Sydney Design Awards 2020. It was named after the artist and teacher Julian Ashton and&nbsp;features Hamptons-inspired interiors, rooftop gardens and ground-floor commercial space.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=29139 project_image_fid=82420]

Two of SPG&#39;s most recent projects heading in to 2022 are Bala in Neutral Bay and&nbsp;Aurora in Willoughby.

Bala, which comprises 19 two and three-bedroom apartments&nbsp;in Neutral Bay, was another winner for SPG in the 2020 Sydney Design Awards.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=9801 project_image_fid=82431]

<h2>3. Abadeen Group</h2>

The Sydney developer, Abadeen Group, founded and led by the long-time CBRE Residential Projects chairman Justin Brown, is one to watch for 2022.

Founded over two decades ago, the development group has an established track record with over $1 billion in projects.

A recent partnership with the private equity real estate investment group Phoenix Property Investors will see them deliver&nbsp;a string of boutique residential apartment projects in Sydney over the next five years.

Among its current projects is Koyo, a Koichi Takada-designed development in Crows Nest, and its sister project, Enso, located in Neutral Bay slated for completion in 2022.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=109005 project_image_fid=186099]

A boutique collection of 27 apartments in the heart of Crows Nest, Koyo will deliver 18 three-bedroom apartments, seven two-bedroom apartments and two one-bedroom apartments.

The development group will see 31 apartments and five restored historic terraces completed at its Brighton Le Sands project, Seychelles.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=109005 project_image_fid=186099]

<h2>4. Dare Property Group</h2>

Another downsizer developer that investors and buyers should watch this year is Dare Property Group, led by the prolific Sydney developer&nbsp;Danny Avidan.

&ldquo;Dare Property Group was created to fill what I saw as a glaring gap in Sydney&rsquo;s prestige real-estate market. At the time I left the fashion industry after 25 years, the words &lsquo;designer&rsquo; and &lsquo;off-plan&rsquo; had not truly been recognised. I intended to change that&rdquo;, Avidan said.

Since it was established in 2019, Dare has grown to one of the most visionary property development brands in Sydney, with previous developments including The Carlton at Vaucluse and Bronte Place.

The luxury eastern suburbs development, Kalypso Tamarama, is slated for completion this year.

The most anticipated development by Dare in 2022 will be the&nbsp;Piper House collaboration with&nbsp;Fortis, which will offer 20 homes on a 2,000 sqm site in the blue chip Point Piper.

Piper, which stands on the northern side of New South Head Road and wraps around leafy Wunulla Road, will be available for purchase this year.
