Amalgamated Property Group and Base Developments expand Canberra portfolio with launch of latest residential project.
Leading Australian residential developer Amalgamated Property Group (APG) is adding to its Canberra portfolio with the release of Botanical Turner, a high-end project delivered in partnership with Base Developments.
Designed by the award-winning SJB Architects, Botanical features spacious one, two, and three-bedroom residences in a prime location on the edge of the city, within walking distance of Braddon, O’Connor and the CBD.
With SJB’s impressive track record and accolades including the 2023 International Interior of the Year (World Architecture Festival) and the 2024 Premier’s Prize (NSW Architecture Awards), partnering with their architectural team to bring this landmark project to life was a natural choice for the developers. Featuring bold geometric architecture and a colour palette that celebrates Canberra’s visual identity, Botanical’s façade showcases a harmonious blend of tones that transition from red brick at ground level to warm terracotta hues and a crisp white upper layer. The striking, layered design is complemented by open thoroughfares and elegant arched walkways, allowing residents to move easily through the amenity-rich development.
From the outset, the design team considered scale, rhythm, and civic presence, shaping curves around existing trees and drawing on Canberra’s natural identity to create something both grand and grounded.
Boasting an abundance of high-end amenities, residents can enjoy the large, lush central courtyard, concierge services, an architecturally designed indoor pool surrounded by nature, as well as a spa, sauna, steam room and large gym. The north-facing orientation of the indoor pool ensures it’s bathed in sunlight throughout the day while remaining sheltered in the cooler months, making it ideal for year-round wellness and exercise.
The project’s distinctive architectural approach, combined with its prime inner north location, is expected to generate strong long-term value for these homes. Turner is a beautiful tree-lined suburb on the fringe of a number of lifestyle amenities, so Botanical’s residents will benefit from many conveniences, including a light-rail stop almost directly out the front and numerous walking and bike paths in its immediate vicinity.
Inside, the spacious residences are designed with a rich, earthy palette and high-quality materials, offering a warm, timeless style. To foster a sense of connection, the building floorplates have been carefully considered to ensure its design encourages neighbourly interaction and a community feel.
To experience Botanical’s quality, potential buyers can be immersed in the finishes and materials first-hand with a visit to the custom-built two-bedroom display home located next to the site. The display also features a detailed physical model to give buyers the opportunity to appreciate the architecture up close.
This development offers a vast number of floorplans, enabling purchasers the luxury of choice to find a home that best suits their needs, with the range including one, two and three-bedroom apartments and penthouses, as well as courtyard and two-storey homes. Every residence also includes basement car parking with an EV provision and plenty of storage.
LJ Hooker Project Marketing Development Manager Keenan Veraar said Botanical’s location and design made it a standout investment.
“The central location and uniqueness of the project will ensure that Botanical becomes a very sought-after place to live. This will provide an ongoing capital gain and establish apartment rental returns that will be some of the highest in Canberra. It’s a pleasure to work with Amalgamated and Base, as we know with certainty that our buyers will be happy at the end of the day,” he said.
Amalgamated Property Group and Base Developments are the same duo behind a number of other successful developments in the Capital, including the three-tower Oaks precinct in Phillip, which is also home to Canberra’s first pure Build-to-Rent project, Oaks Canopy, Ivy in Phillip, Kiara in Narrabundah and more. The pair also have Amaya Broadbeach under construction on the Gold Coast and released another Broadbeach project earlier this year, Affinity Broadbeach.
With a commitment to sustainability and community engagement, Amalgamated has been busy paving the way in changing ACT’s property landscape over the last 20 years, also responsible for premium developments such as The Griffin, Civic Quarter and the upcoming ANZAC Park East and The Eastbourne on Constitution Avenue
Base Developments has a strong track record in the ACT and surrounding NSW regions, with several award-winning projects to its name. Most recently, the Avia development received two major honours: the 2024 HIA ACT/Southern NSW Apartment Complex of the Year and the 2024 HIA ACT/Southern NSW Apartment of the Year. Other notable projects include Natura and Elody in Denman Prospect. Current developments on the market include Mio and Emerald in Googong, as well as Denman Peninsula in Denman Prospect.
