Sponsored Content rise residential developments in recent years." /> Brisbane has seen a proliferation of high- rise residential developments in recent years. At one time Brisbane wore a reputation as the last, true east coast bastion of the quarter-acre block – a time, not so long ago, when many developers focused on delivering the Australian dream as a three- or four-bedroom home with a landscaped garden front and back.  How those times have changed.   Interstate migration, the need to mitigate the transport and infrastructure pressures of vast urban sprawl , and a more visionary approach to inner-city planning have all triggered the growth of Brisbane upward rather than outward. Investment in cultural precincts like South Bank have increased the appeal of inner-city living.

While many fork out thousands for boutique hotels for their vacation, others prefer to take a different route and book their dream holiday house through Airbnb.  And on Friday, Airbnb revealed the 10 most sought-after properties across Australia based on their wish list system - from spectacular hinterland hideaways to stunning mountainside treehouses .  Here, FEMAIL Looks at the top 10 most in-demand properties across the country and what it is that makes them so popular.  'What’s unique about the most sought-after Airbnbs in Australia is the mix and diversity of properties,' Airbnb Australia's Country Manager, Sam McDonagh, said.  'It's evident that travellers have a fascination with Australia’s great outdoors with hinterland villas and forest treehouses topping the list; however, they’re also wanting to indulge in Australia’s more urban lifestyle, with luxury New York-styled apartments and rooftop terraces coming out on top too.'  On Friday, Airbnb revea...

LAKE Macquarie is being transformed at a rate not seen for generations, with a construction frenzy spilling over from Newcastle and pushing Warners Bay and Charlestown skywards. The Lake Macquarie council area, which includes a swath of greater Newcastle suburbs and townships such as Morisset, Cooranbong and Swansea, had about 2,700 development applications worth $607 million approved in the last financial year . That is 550 more than the previous year, and an increase of 23.5 per cent. About $250 million worth of construction is underway and, while not on the scale of Newcastle’s $900 million transformation, the Lake figure is mainly private investment unswollen by major public works  like the Newcastle light rail . There is also more than $300 million worth of development in the pipeline. Among the projects attracting buyers’ interest are the $80 million Water’s Edge apartments proposed for the Esplanade at Warners Bay. If approved, Water’s Edge will take the site of a former ...

Location: Santa Barbara , California Price: $5.25 million This penthouse is perched atop the historic 1923 Granada Theatre building , one of the tallest in Santa Barbara , a city on the California coast. Overlooking downtown, the Pacific Ocean, the harbor, the Channel Islands, and the surrounding Santa Ynez Mountains , this apartment offers “amazing, panoramic views,” said Cristal Clarke, the listing agent with Sotheby’s International Realty Montecito .   A combination of urban living, unparalleled views, and the size of the property (over 3,000 square feet) makes this a one-of-a-kind home. While the rest of the building is zoned for commercial use, the top two floors are occupied by two penthouse apartments. “There is just nothing like this in Santa Barbara .  Most condominiums downtown are much smaller in square footage,” Ms. Clarke said. “The current owner bought the property as a shell,” Ms. Clarke said, and as she completed the apartment, “she did everything with impeccable tas...

The city of Tampa is on the cusp of a total makeover. With billions of dollars in investment and dozens of new apartment, condo, office and cultural buildings in the pipeline, the city's skyline and surrounding communities are poised to look a whole lot different than what it does today. But dreaming up the future of Tampa doesn't come without its challenges. For all the promises of a new urban core filled with hotels, parks, food halls and stores, there are also potential pitfalls. The Tampa Bay Times identified the five key obstacles that stand in the way of some of the biggest projects proposed in Hillsborough County . Many of these challenges are ones local politicians and business leaders have been fighting for years to find a solution. Others are fairly new territory, but still pose a real threat to the region's continued growth.
