Luxury

Hedges Avenue is one of the most exclusive strips of real estate in Queensland, and among the top in the whole of Australia.

Only a handful of homes sit on the two&nbsp;kilometre strip in Mermaid Beach, just south of Broadbeach.

The last five houses have sold for a total of nearly $70 million, with two of the sales securing over $20 million each.

The beachfront is naturally the most sought-after, however the non-beach side blocks are still just a stone's throw from the sand.

There's been little to no opportunity for buyers on Hedges for anything between an apartment or a house. Sunland recently wrapped up 272 Hedges Avenue, the owner-occupier targeted tower with three and four-bed apartments.

The local developer <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developers/sandbox-properties">Sandbox Properties</a>, well known for their high-end boutique townhouse developments in some of the Gold Coast's best pockets, have put together a site on Hedges Avenue and have recently launched 200 Hedges, a rare opportunity to secure a slice of&nbsp;the exclusive dress circle.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112850 project_image_fid=201327]

200 Hedges has five four-level Ocean Houses, each with four bedrooms, configured to act as a three bedroom home and a one-bedroom, self-contained apartment.

The villas, serviced by an internal lift,&nbsp;will have two living areas, the main meeting the entertainer's kitchen which includes a built-in, glass feature wine cellar, walk in pantry, integrated Miele appliances, and designer tapware.

Each are crowned by a serviced rooftop terrace complete with ocean views. Every villa also comes with its own private pool and pool house, a built-in home office, and parking for two cars.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112850 project_image_fid=201329]

Sandbox Director Jack Tarrant said they are all about location when it comes to development.

"We're very selective when it comes to choosing sites," Tarrant says, adding that it's all about the lifestyle for the end user.

Tarrant says most of the enquiry on 200 Hedges so far has been from locals moving along Hedges, some of which who are concerned about the oceanway.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112850 project_image_fid=201332]

"We're offering a low maintenance product, considerably lower maintenance than the huge mansions opposite," Tarrant says.

Sandbox have a number of luxury projects currently on the market, including Marlowe and Marella at Runaway Bay, right on the canal front.

Setting a new benchmark for luxury in Kew East, Quattro Residences is offering discerning buyers the chance to purchase a home from an exclusive collection of uniquely composed residences.

As the name suggests, the development features just four three and four-bedroom residences.

Located on High Street, Quattro has been meticulously designed by Zeno Entity as distinctive homes that are grounded in a harmony between classical refinement and contemporary form.

Urban takes a look at five reasons why buyers&nbsp;are keen on the new development from Providence Properties.

1. Great location

[smartcode_project:default project_id=109859 project_image_fid=185004]

Set amongst the best offerings of Kew East, Quattro provides access to all the conveniences of everyday living.

From its vantage point near Balwyn Junction, the development is situated in close proximity to supermarkets, caf&eacute;s and restaurants, and great schools.

&ldquo;Whether commuting to the city during the week or escaping to the country on weekends, Quattro is ideally located&rdquo;, the project marketing reads.

2. Elegant architecture

[smartcode_project:default project_id=109859 project_image_fid=185003]

Designed by architects Zeno Entity, the four residences display a harmonious unity of form and function, curves and angles.

The fa&ccedil;ade features feminine curves and boasts a creamy palette with refined stone cladding.

Exteriors harmonise with the entire residence, with a central lobby foyer that welcomes residents and their guests into the four homes.

The development also features an oversized lift and secure private garages.

3. Landscaped gardens and terraces

[smartcode_project:default project_id=109859 project_image_fid=185019]

John Patrick Landscape Architects has expertly crafted each residence&rsquo;s outdoor area into a private sanctuary.

The generously assigned residences are surrounded by a lush landscape in one of the city&rsquo;s most convenient locations.

Landscaped gardens and terraces feature a mix of plants to ensure year-long beauty, with the exterior also styled to ensure the residence enhances the existing streetscape.

4. European-styled interiors

[smartcode_project:default project_id=109859 project_image_fid=185005]

Matching the fa&ccedil;ade, interiors boast a colour scheme warmed with timber, bronze, and natural stone.

&ldquo;Quattro&rsquo;s rich natural tones are a testament to its exceptional quality&rdquo;, the developers said.

Stunning pieces of hand-cut Patagonia stone feature in the European-styled kitchens, balanced with travertine and marble accents throughout.

Bronze accents on door handles and tapware help elevate the interiors, while floorplans also feature marble-tiled bathrooms, engineered oak herringbone flooring and an abundance of natural light.

5. Surrounded by nature

[smartcode_project:default project_id=109859 project_image_fid=185015]

Surrounded by parkland, Quattro offers an enviable lifestyle for a wide range of buyers.

The verdant streetscapes of Kew separate the residence from the hustle and bustle of the Melbourne CBD, offering a private and scenic lifestyle.

Kew is home to four premium golf courses, as well as the Yarra River, making residents of the picturesque suburb free to enjoy a range of recreational activities.

5 VIC residential developments completing construction in 2021

<html><body>
661 Chapel St is Melbourne's new residential development, setting a benchmark for luxury living in the Victorian capital.

Delivered by Gamuda Land, the 30-storey tower provides 127 apartments in one, two, three and four-bedroom configurations. Situated beside the Yarra River, 661 Chapel St is located within minutes of the Melbourne CBD, parklands, elite shopping and dining precincts. It is located next to Melbourne High.

Completed this year, the project is slashing stamp duty costs by up to 50 per cent as well as generous government grants and incentives for new home buyers and first home buyers.

661 Chapel St gives buyers the rare opportunity to combine two apartments to create a single, large residence with some buyers choosing to snap up entire floors and create “super residences” in the sky.

<a class="colorbox colorbox-insert-image" href="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/q_auto:good/https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/661-chapel-st-hero_3.jpg" rel="gallery-all"><img alt="" class="image-article-full-width-580px" height="290" src="/s3/files/styles/article_full_width_580px/public/pictures/article-images/661-chapel-st-hero_3.jpg?itok=P9kaU23b" width="580"></a>

Among its extensive hotel-inspired resident amenity, the South Yarra project includes a concierge, gym, members lounge and winter garden. Located on its ground floor, residents will also have access to an onyx-windowed, grand library and boardroom. A 25-metre heated pool, cantilevered six levels above Chapel Street and supported by a single beam, rivals the neighbouring hotel pool at The Olsen.

Captivating the interest of art aficionados, the project's marketing indicated that Damien Hirst, the creator behind the $100 million For the Love of God skull, had been engaged in constructing a sculptural walk upon entry, inspired by international galleries. 

<a class="colorbox colorbox-insert-image" href="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/q_auto:good/https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/sculpture.jpg" rel="gallery-all"><img alt="" class="image-article-full-width-580px" height="385" src="/s3/files/styles/article_full_width_580px/public/pictures/article-images/sculpture.jpg?itok=JcPQ9XB4" width="580"></a>

Marketing advised that the artwork would be displayed alongside a spectacular lighting installation by Omer Arbel.

Designed by bird de la Coeur, apartments in the project offer open interiors, large balconies and floor-to-ceiling windows with views of the Melbourne CBD, Yarra River and the Bay.

<a class="colorbox colorbox-insert-image" href="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/q_auto:good/https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/_dms0222_photoshop_low_res_large.jpg" rel="gallery-all"><img alt="" class="image-article-full-width-580px" height="387" src="/s3/files/styles/article_full_width_580px/public/pictures/article-images/_dms0222_photoshop_low_res_large.jpg?itok=v96E39ye" width="580"></a>
