What’s Trending Right Now in New Developments

The last two years have shown us how resilient the development sector has become, with supply issues and setbacks due to the global pandemic. Developers producing higher quality products are being asked by purchasers to incorporate design trends on unit and townhouse complexes that are high on the purchaser’s checklists in prime locations across Brisbane, Moreton Bay, Gold Coast and Ipswich regions.

Whether it’s the family home or an astute investment, luxury inclusions are hot right now.

With more families, moving into community living and working from home there is a need to design and deliver apartments and townhouses to a wider market that delivers and caters to the purchaser’s specific needs and lifestyle.

Top Trends

Concierge Services

These services are becoming more popular with apartment dwellers and developers are incorporating this in high-rise developments to enhance the lifestyle of residents and with costs being incorporated in the strata fees.

• Parcel delivery
• Booking dinner dates
• Community social functions
• Movie nights
• Yoga classes
• Arranging and collecting dry cleaning
• Valet parking

Who doesn’t want that VIP treatment? When I think of concierge services, I think of Michael J Fox in the movie “For Love or Money” best quote “I’m a genie in a suit, just rub me and make a wish.”
