Welcome to layered living.
Introducing THIRTEENONUP, our 22nd development, where life settles into a gentle rhythm. Here, each day unfolds in layers. Moments of calm, connection, and simplicity.
Morning light and the fresh Atlantic Ocean air breeze filters through your window. Spaces are designed to feel calm, offering a sense of retreat while still living in close proximity to day-to-day convenience.
Surrounded by parks, cafés, grocery stores, and the coastline. Here, living isn’t rushed. It’s considered.
Everything you need is just a few steps away.
This is urban living.
Depth by design.
Step inside an intimate and sensory world, where architecture balances neighbourhood energy and personal peace. Sculpted like moulded clay, THIRTEENONUP unfolds in layers. An atrium and vertical garden welcome you as you enter the building. Suspended walkways, sculpted stairs, and many curves create a landscape of movement, pause and connection.
- Materiality and light shape the living experience.
- Warm wood, stone, textured walls, black metal, and terracotta details, along with soft, integrated lighting enhances atmosphere and flow.
- Homes are thoughtfully designed with functional joinery.
- Larger apartments feature gardens, and the living spaces are simple, yet layered.
- Beyond the home are shared garden spaces, a children’s play area, and an elevated pool deck.
- These spaces are essential extensions of a home, that are considered and designed for human connection that unfold naturally.
THIRTEENONUP reflects a quieter evolution of urban living. Family lifestyle, and those looking for permanence in the city.

How we sell apartments.
Over 11 years, 21 developments, and 1 250 plus homes sold, we’ve built a loyal community. To thank them, we offer our past buyers exclusive early access, often called a “Early Access” or “Black Book” release, before launching publicly.
Post this early access period, public sales open, and remaining apartments are available on a strict first-come, first-served basis. We always hold back a selection of apartments specifically for this public launch phase.
Joining our waiting list is crucial. Demand is high, and spaces fill fast. We strongly encourage you to connect with us early. Telling us what you’re looking for now means we can instantly alert you the moment a matching property becomes available. Enquire now to join the list.
We pride ourselves on the relationships our Sales Consultants have with their clients. From purchase to key handover two years later, a Sales Consultant is there to support every step of the way. If you’d like to speak to a person right away, we offer you the ability to book a 15-minute online call with one of the team.
