Luxury developments that raised the bar in 2021

With the demand growing around Australia for luxury apartments, 2021 has seen a number of opulent developments appear throughout the country. In their 2022 Outlook Report Knight Frank said “As the number of Australian ultra-wealthy individuals are expected to grow by at least 20% by 2025 according to The Wealth Report, so will the demand for luxury apartments with high levels of serviceability and little maintenance.” The most exclusive of these developments have state-of-the-art features and idyllic locations that contribute to their unique prestige. 

The Muse 

The Muse is an exclusive Melbourne development that set the sales record in 2020 for the highest apartment price of the year. There are only 42 apartments in this St Kilda Road development, each designed to be grand in both scale and design. Each residence offers the highest quality finishes and fixtures, with apartments spanning three to five-bedrooms. Every home in this exclusive residence also features floor-to-ceiling windows that are flooded with natural light. 

Technology and home automation are prominent throughout this luxury development. The Muse is truly state-of-the-art, featuring cutting-edge number plate recognition, CCTV duress alarms and keyless entry via facial recognition for added security. Each apartment also includes world-leading home automation such as voice-activated commands which control lights, blinds and the climate of your home. Other facilities include a 24-hour concierge, the expertly crafted Muse Wellness Centre, pools, a spa, gym, sauna, steam room, a club lounge and private meeting room facilities. 

The Muse will soon be home to Melbourne’s most elite residents as construction on these exclusive apartments is scheduled for completion in 2023. 

The Monaco 

The Monaco is located in the affluent Gold Coast suburb of Main Beach, and combines all the best elements of luxury living on the Gold Coast. Featuring 24 levels of residences within walking distance of the Gold Coast’s most iconic beaches, every detail of this development has been designed to capture the unfiltered 360⁰ views of The Southport Yacht Club Marine, Main Beach, The Spit and the Gold Coast Hinterland.

With JDH Capital at the helm of this project, the team also includes BVN Architecture and Kelly Hoppen Interiors. The original Sirius apartments were built in the 1970s, and are a valued surviving example of brutalist architecture.

Residences span from one to five bedrooms, each featuring a unique floor plan that expands onto a private balcony or terrace with pools. These residences are truly designed as homes, rather than just apartments.
