Avant Townhomes is redefining low‑maintenance living through architect‑designed homes that are reshaping where and how Australians live. From beachfront settings to established inner suburbs and masterplanned communities, Avant is introducing considered, low‑maintenance design into locations where it has not traditionally existed.
Across the country, more buyers are choosing to reduce the size of their home without compromising the quality of where they live. Avant Townhomes responds to this shift with well‑designed residences in places people genuinely want to be, from coastal New South Wales to inner Melbourne and South East Queensland.
A Track Record Built Project By Project
Backed by 40+ years of residential development experience and more than fifteen UDIA Awards for Excellence.
Avant Townhomes is a division of Intrapac Property, drawing on a national legacy of high‑quality residential development. With more than 350 homes delivered in collaboration with long-term design partner Arcadia Studio, Avant integrates land development, design and construction into a single, cohesive process.
“Avant Townhomes focuses on building a home, not just a dwelling,” says David Lunardi, General Manager at Avant Townhomes. “A clear design vision maintains a level of quality and consistency across the development, and that’s what makes Avant projects stand apart.”
The first Avant townhomes were delivered at the Somerfield Estate in Keysborough, a small collection of homes overlooking the wetlands that set the template for what the product could be. Now, the offer has evolved into tighter layouts, triple-storey designs, stronger environmental performance and a broader geographic reach: from subtropical Queensland to Melbourne’s inner north.
Avant’s development model delivers consistent quality, architectural integrity and long-term liveability.

Design That Respects Where It Stands
Architecture shaped around the character, landscape and rhythm of each suburb.
In established suburbs, new homes must earn their place among decades of existing character. For Avant Townhomes, this begins with architectural expression.
“We take a strong focus on the architecture and the facades because that is the first impression you get,” says David Hockley, Director at Arcadia Studio. “At Avant, we always include quality fixtures and finishes and materials that you can touch and feel and recognise the value in what you’re purchasing.”
Sustainability Built In From The Start
Energy-efficient design as a standard inclusion, not an upgrade.
Every Avant townhome includes:
- solar panels
- double-glazed windows
- cross-ventilation
- full insulation
- Passive design orientation
These decisions are built in from the outset, reducing energy consumption, lowering running costs and creating homes that are comfortable to live in year-round with minimal intervention.

Three 82, Ivanhoe, VIC
Three 82 is a collection of 16 four-bedroom homes located just 1km from Ivanhoe Village, Three 82 sits within a streetscape defined by mature canopies and strong architectural heritage. Each residence introduces a contemporary expression that still aligns with the suburb’s established character.
“The design intent was to live up to a higher level of quality that fits in with Ivanhoe,” says David Lunardi. “We’ve delivered a building that has a really contemporary look but also a classic character that sits really well within the suburb.”

Aureus, Skennars Head, NSW
At Aureus in Skennars Head, the design responds directly to its beachfront setting, with roof decks, generous balconies and sweeping ocean views shaped by both the position of the site and how each home is oriented to it. A limited release of beachfront townhomes, Seascape, is coming soon, offering rare access to one of the NSW North Coast’s most tightly held beachfront addresses.
“Aureus is a unique project and location because it is one of the very few parcels of land that’s directly opposite a beautiful beach. There aren’t many other opportunities along the coastline to get into a townhouse which has sweeping views of the ocean,” says David Lunardi.

Sixth Avenue, Aspendale, VIC
At Sixth Avenue in Aspendale, eight homes sit minutes from Port Phillip Bay, with Aspendale Beach at the end of the street and the Mornington Peninsula 35 minutes south. Delivered in collaboration with Arcadia Studio, the homes integrate with the existing bayside streetscape and are finished with materials chosen as much for durability as appearance. For residents, that translates to a home that holds its quality and keeps its running costs manageable across the years that follow settlement.
“We always look at how a home will perform not just on completion, but five or ten years down the track, making sure it continues to function well and present as intended,” says David Hockley.

Northridge Townhomes at Whiterock, QLD
At Whiterock, the Northridge Townhomes sit within a broader neighbourhood that is already taking shape. Streets are established, open space is in place, and daily amenity is close at hand.
The homes are positioned adjacent to the 2,500-hectare White Rock–Spring Mountain Conservation Estate, with access to parkland, sports ovals and an adventure playground just moments away. A planned village centre and primary school will further support how the community functions over time.
What this creates is a different kind of setting for townhome living. One where the value is not only in the home itself, but in what surrounds it and how easily it can be accessed.
For first home buyers and young families, it offers a more complete environment from the outset, with the added benefit of living in a community that continues to evolve.
