Land Lots

Residential developer Orchard Property Group has laid plans for a $23 million land release at Calamvale in Brisbane’s south to meet demand for homesites located within 20-kilometres of the CBD.

The project, to be named Jade, is the first in the Brisbane municipality for Orchard Property Group, with plans to deliver 32 lots across a 2.32ha site at 2236 Beaudesert Road.

The land development is positioned to appeal to the owner occupier, primarily second and third home buyers, with the site located within easy reach of an array of amenities including schools, childcare centres, shopping centres and medical centres, as well as recreational parks, sporting clubs, dining options and transport links.

Orchard Property Group’s CEO, Ted Cronin said the opportunity to develop new residential homesites in Brisbane are extremely rare in today’s market.&nbsp;

“The Calamvale site ticks all the boxes for homebuyers who are looking to build their dream home within easy reach of the city and so close to the lifestyle and urban amenities buyers seek,” Cronin said.&nbsp;

“Since acquiring the site recently, we have moved quickly to bring this development to the market to take advantage of demand for residences in such a prime location.”

Orchard Property Group is planning to launch the boutique residential development to the market in the first quarter of next year, pending council approval.

With 40 years’ experience under their belt, Orchard has previously largely focused on the region’s key growth areas of Logan, Ipswich, Moreton Bay, and Gold Coast.

The Calamvale development provides the company with a rare opportunity to deliver a vital infill project to meet ongoing demand for prime residential land in Brisbane.

The company currently has four residential subdivisions under way in south-east Queensland worth more than $300 million that will deliver 1,453 residential lots to the market, including project’s, The Junction Narangba, Aurora Ripley, Willow Logan Reserve and Pebble Creek South Maclean.

Once underway, the Calamvale project and a proposed new development at Caboolture, Aire which comprises 266 lots, will bring the total value of Orchard Property Group’s Queensland development portfolio to $380 million.

Orchard Property Group plan for first Brisbane land release 

Due to the rich amenity surrounding the area and the diversity of product available, demand for Woodlea continues to remain strong.

Woodlea has again sold out its latest two releases within hours of launching, known as Westrise, with affordable parkfront townhomes for first home buyers, and The Yards, with premium lots in the heart of Aintree.

Comprising just eight townhomes fronting a reserve and adventure playground, Westrise sold out in just three-hours and received major interest with 115 registrations.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=28733 project_image_fid=167737]

Offering accessible prices for first-home buyers, Woodlea buyer Josiah Krznaric jumped at the opportunity to step into Woodlea when Westrise was released, with prices starting from just $445,000.

&quot;We had been looking at Woodlea&#39;s previous releases, but didn&#39;t feel we had enough savings to commit. This release ticked every box when looking for our first home. The town centre is within walking distance, but far enough from the hustle and bustle.&rdquo;

&ldquo;The five per cent deposit was a big advantage for us. We did some exploring throughout the town and fell in love with the community feeling, and how well everything is presented across the neighbourhood. We&rsquo;re also excited about all the plans and future growth, like the additional infrastructure,&rdquo; said Krznaric.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=28733 project_image_fid=167735]

While demand for townhouses within the community show no sign of slowing down, Woodlea&rsquo;s most recent land release, The Yards, experienced a similar result with all 20 lots in the latest release snapped up within the first day of launch, including buyers who already call Woodlea home.

Located North of Taylors Road in Aintree and within walking distance to future state-of-the-art amenities, The Yards is nestled amongst public primary and secondary schools, an active open space, indoor sports centre, major town centre and more, attracting both the upgrader and families.

Woodlea Project Director Matthew Dean said The Yards will cater to the increased demand for land within the highly desirable Aintree postcode.

&ldquo;The Yards will help cater to the regional boom we&rsquo;re still witnessing since 2020, where families are seeking more land and space to grow, while still having everything within easy reach such as schools, major town centres and more.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=28733 project_image_fid=167736]

&ldquo;All stock within Aintree has been highly sought after, including townhomes, and even if the market fluctuates we&#39;re confident that this neighbourhood will remain a desired location as it&#39;s right in the heart of Woodlea,&rdquo; said Dean.

Winner of the UDIA Victoria 2021 Awards for Excellence within the Masterplanned Development category, Woodlea is a major asset for the west, comprising prestigious schools, &lsquo;destination style&rsquo; playgrounds, parks and sporting facilities and is home to a large-scale Town Centre, Woodlea Town.

Currently home to 10,500 residents, this number is set to grow to 20,000 residents upon completion.

“Land in Melbourne’s growth corridors is increasingly sought after and buyers are in a rush to get into this strong market.”

The new sales office will help facilitate sales and showcase the unique masterplan design that prioritises access to green space.

The masterplan has been designed to showcase the native vegetation on-site with a 7.9-hectare conservation reserve and over 30 distributed tree reserves with retained mature river red gums.

“We’ve developed a clear vision for Mason Quarter, centred around connection to nature and prioritising outdoor space.”

"There is a great deal of amenity in the area and with a site of this size we will be able to establish a brand-new community to enjoy it," says Archer.

Land sales soar in Melbourne’s north as buyers “rush” into “strong market”

Mirvac has acquired an 80-hectare parcel of zoned land in Cobbitty, Camden, which it plans to turn into a new masterplanned community to respond to the surging demand for new homes in Sydney&rsquo;s south west.

The property development group secured the south west growth corridor site from Australian property funds and development firm, Roberts Jones.

Colliers agent Frank Oliveri, who was responsible for the deal, said the transaction helped reflect the strength of the residential development site market in Western Sydney.

&ldquo;This property was highly sought after by both institutional developers and a number of the large home builders in the region.

&ldquo;Residential lots have increased by over 25% in many parts of the market and developers have paid higher prices to secure land stock in the short to medium term&rdquo;, Oliveri said.

Adjacent to the existing suburbs of Oran Park and Harrington Grove, the future community is set to deliver approximately 950 land lots from 225sqm to 1,000sqm, playing fields, a future town centre and community facilities, subject to approval.

Located less than 10 kilometres away from Mirvac&rsquo;s recently completed Crest project at Gledswood Hills, the project will continue the developer&rsquo;s legacy in south west Sydney, according to head of residential, Stuart Penklis.

&ldquo;Having successfully delivered Crest, we&rsquo;re excited to once again be in a position to contribute to Sydney&rsquo;s rapidly evolving south west corridor&rdquo;, he said.

&ldquo;Future residents will relish the picturesque rural aspects of this countryside setting, while benefitting from the adjacent Macarthur Anglican school and other established amenity of Oran Park.&rdquo;

According to Penklis, land and homes in this area are experiencing strong demand due to significant local infrastructure investment including the new Western Sydney International Airport and Aerotropolis now taking shape.

&ldquo;Our passion for reimagining urban life and our commitment to best practice design, sustainability and placemaking principles will guide the vision and masterplan for this new community&rdquo;, he said.

An initial development approval for the first 150 lots is expected to be filed shortly, targeting early activation of the amenity in order to set the foundations for a sustainable, connected community.

The project is expected to be released in mid-2022.
