Balancing timeless design, wellness-focused amenities, and mixed-use integration, Azure’s North Lakes community showcases the strength of its design-led philosophy.

At North Lakes, in Brisbane’s northern growth corridor, Azure has brought its philosophy to life in Willow by Azure, a community of 76 terrace homes anchored by resort-style amenities and complemented by mixed-use elements. For Azure, Willow represents more than just a residential development; it is a statement of design and placemaking.

From the outset, Willow was envisioned as a neighbourhood where modern convenience meets timeless appeal. “Willow was curated as a community that balances modern convenience with timeless design,” explained Trent Keirnan, Director at Azure.

“Our vision was to create homes that are practical and low-maintenance without compromising on space, natural light, and premium finishes. Every residence has been thoughtfully planned to maximise liveability today, while ensuring enduring appeal for future generations. This commitment to quality and design integrity reflects Azure’s philosophy of crafting communities that remain Special Forever.”

This philosophy is evident not only in the homes but also in the creation of shared amenities that support wellbeing and connection. “At Willow, amenities were designed not just as features, but as spaces that enrich everyday life,” Trent said. Residents enjoy a 20m heated pool for year-round relaxation, a yoga lawn for mindfulness and movement, and landscaped lounging zones. “Collectively, these amenities foster a strong sense of community and support the wellbeing of every resident.”

Azure also recognised the importance of blending residential and commercial uses to reflect North Lakes’ dynamic, master-planned identity. “By introducing 76 terrace homes alongside mixed-use elements, we’ve delivered a community that caters to both residential and commercial needs,” Trent explained. “The terraces offer secure, private living environments, while the light industry units provide local economic activity and convenience. This balance supports North Lakes’ growth, making Willow both a place to call home and a contributor to the wider community fabric.”

Behind Willow’s seamless delivery is Azure’s integrated model, which combines design, construction, and ongoing management. “Willow is a testament to the strength of Azure’s integrated approach,” said Trent. “By designing, building, and managing the project in-house, we’ve ensured consistency of vision, quality of delivery, and longevity of value. This model allows us to create cohesive communities where design excellence is matched by construction integrity and ongoing care through Azure Living. The result is a neighbourhood built for today, but also managed for tomorrow.”

A central part of Willow’s appeal is Azure’s lifestyle offering, AClub, which reimagines community living through a wellness-first approach. “The AClub offering is central to Willow’s identity,” Trent noted.

“It brings together wellness, leisure, and connection, delivering a resort-inspired lifestyle that enhances the everyday. From the yoga lawns to the poolside retreats, these spaces encourage balance, belonging, and rejuvenation. By placing wellness at the heart of the resident experience, AClub ensures that Willow is not only a collection of homes, but a community where people feel healthier, happier, and more connected.”

Willow reflects the culmination of Azure’s design-led approach, bringing together thoughtful residences, purposeful amenities, and a strong sense of place. It also provides a roadmap for future communities. The lessons learned at Willow, in balancing mixed-use design, fostering connection, and embedding wellness, will shape Azure’s pipeline of developments across South East Queensland and beyond.

“We want to create communities that people are proud to live in, not just today, but for decades to come,” Trent said. “Willow shows that it’s possible to combine quality design, sustainable living, and lifestyle-focused amenities in a way that endures. That is what makes a community ‘Special Forever’.”
