Lutwyche

Developer builder, Jadecorp, has lodged pans for a site in Brisbane's north in Lutwyche, near to&nbsp;Kedron Brook and Lamington Markets.

The Brisbane-based group, led by director John Dracakis, are set to construct a mid-rise residential building at 21-23 Norman Avenue, which will take advantage of the site's proximity to high frequency public transport nodes and extensive access to public parkland.&nbsp;

Located just 6.5 kilometres from the CBD, Norman Avenue and the immediate surrounding area is currently in a state of transition on account of the adoption of the Lutwyche Corridor Neighbourhood Plan around a decade ago, which encouraged a higher density living environment in order to capitalise on the locality's proximity to the Northern Busway Corridor.&nbsp;

The 1,620 sqm site presents a single street frontage to Norman Avenue, with two pre-1947 dwellings currently occupying the site.&nbsp;

They'll be demolished to make way for 42 new apartments, with 10 one-bed, 20 two-bed and 12 three-bedroom residences proposed.&nbsp;

Jadecorp engaged Hayes Anderson Lynch&nbsp;Architects (HAL) to design the building, which will feature a mix of brick cladding and brick face screening to the facade, complemented with powder coated aluminium timber-look batten screening, and balustrade glass.&nbsp;

HAL said they wanted to create a vibrant and contemporary residential building which still retains a human scale and promotes casual surveillance by adopting balconies, opening and windows overlooking Norman Ave.&nbsp;

"Each apartment within the development is inclusive of generously dimensioned private balconies that activate each façade and reduce visual bulk. Fine level elevation detailing and screening techniques maintain privacy for future residents and neighbours, contribute to improved façade articulation and create desirable three dimensional shading effects," HAL said in their Town Planning Assessment.

The three-bedders on the top level are the most expansive of the offering, with over 135 sqm of internal living space. Each benefit from their own generously-sized terrace balcony, with over 70 sqm of space on offer.

Crowning the development will be a rooftop garden, with outdoor dining and barbecue facilities, as well as deep planting and a lawn area.&nbsp;

The site is just a four-minute walk from Lutwyche Bus Station, as well as Kedron Brook Bus Station, which will ferry future residents directly to the CBD and other regional centres and activity hubs on the north-side of Brisbane seamlessly.&nbsp;

Residents will also be well placed to utilise the extensive Kedron Brook parkland and bicycle network, which is located just under 200 metres from the site.&nbsp;

First look: New apartments plans lodged for Brisbane's north

The boutique Lutwyche apartment development Bloom on Wesley in Brisbane&#39;s north&nbsp;has proved a hit with downsizer and professionals, with only 20 per cent of apartments left to sell.

Just three-bedroom apartments remain in the Wesley Street block of 36, which start&nbsp;from $720,000. The two-bedroom apartments sold out at the start of the year.

Ramy Raymond, the managing director of Raise Projects who are developing and building the apartment project,&nbsp;says the three-bedroom apartments have resonated with buyers due to their size, position, and the fact they are pet friendly.

Raymond says despite construction at a late stage, with completion expected at the start of 2022, buyers are still customizing their apartments, which he says buyers value in this day and age.

The location of the development has been a plus for buyers, set near shopping precincts,&nbsp;public transport, and Kedron Brook Parkland&rsquo;s walking and bike paths.

&ldquo;The combination of the resort-style rooftop, boutique exclusivity and being near great shopping, dining, services and transport means that Bloom on Wesley offers unrivalled value for our buyers to live without compromise, whether they are re-sizing or downsizing,&quot; Raymond says.

&ldquo;With property commentators suggesting that prices will surge for three-bedroom, two car space apartments located five to 10km of the CBD, due to the upward pressure from the housing market, Bloom on Wesley represents a great opportunity for owner-occupiers and investors right now.&quot;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=6179 project_image_fid=88256]

Only seven apartments remain. The three-bedroom apartments range in size from 123 sqm up to 207 sqm, and are priced from $720,000 up to $860,000.

Raise are planning a high-end apartment development at Teneriffe, dubbed Verdis on Wyandra.&nbsp;

Downsizers and professionals take Brisbane's Bloom on Wesley apartments to 80% sold

<html><body>
Downsizers and professionals have been the most keen buyers in the inner Brisbane development Bloom on Wesley.

The 36-apartment project in Lutwyche, north of the Brisbane CBD, is 60 per cent sold with just three bedroom apartments left. A Spring completion date is slated.

Raise Projects managing director, Ramy Raymond, said the project attracted the downsizer and professional market due to the size of the three bedroom apartments, their value and their pet friendliness.

Raymond also says the fact that Raise are also building the project allows for a further level of customisation, which was a hit with buyers.

“Even with the apartments now under construction, some customisation is still possible, which is the advantage for buyers working directly with a development team like ours, who are also building the project," Raymond said.

“Many buyers have met directly with me and our building team to explore their needs within our floorplans, and we have received a lot of feedback that our ability to listen to our buyers has helped them to purchase, to personalise their journey and really look forward to creating their new home at Bloom on Wesley.”

Mr Raymond said some buyers of the three-bedroom apartments were enjoying the flexibility of using the third room as a professional office or a hobby retreat, while some three-bedroom apartments also came with an additional multi-purpose room.

He said the need for flexible space within apartment living had been emphasized during the pandemic and will remain important as workplaces evolve to be more fluid than previously.

“Bloom on Wesley has been designed for its buyers to have everything they need for great living within their apartments and through wonderful amenities on the rooftop including an infinity pool, meditation/gym space and alfresco dining.

“At the same time, they are just metres from great shopping, dining, services and transport, including a new-look Crown Lutwyche Hotel that will be refurbished this year in the next block and new boutique stores at nearby Colwill Place, just a five-minute walk away.

“Bloom on Wesley offers unrivalled value for this location, which is a key factor for our buyers to live without compromise, whether they are re-sizing or downsizing.”

The three bedroom apartments range in size from 123 sqm up to 207 sqm and are priced from $695,000 up to $875,000.
