Environment-driven designs meticulously crafted to embrace their unique waterside locations

From the beachfront of Sorrento to North Fremantle’s elevated hills, Ora Sorrento and Serai by Megara are the epitome of distinguished apartment living, defined by style, amenity and location.

With a sense of place showcasing the best of a premium lifestyle, the developments combine design and scale to deliver an elevated apartment experience amid a fast-growing residential market.

Megara Director Jamie Clarke said the appeal of the developments was driven by their environments and how each responded to its setting.

“Both Serai and Ora have been designed for those seeking a vibrant and active coastal lifestyle,” he said.

“The locations are strategically positioned near the water, where demand is historically resilient and growth is driven by lifestyle, amenity and accessibility.

“Megara’s primary focus for Ora was to create a development which seamlessly integrated with its surrounding neighbourhood of traditional family homes while reflecting the area’s natural beauty in both its interior and exterior design.

“Thoughtfully positioned, the development also maximises striking ocean views along the coastline.

“Serai has been designed to embrace its unique location. Nestled between the river and the ocean on top of a hill, the architecture has been crafted to amplify panoramic river, city and ocean views, ensuring as many apartments as possible capture the stunning surroundings.”

The combination of a spectacular waterside landscape and lively community sets the scene for the residences, balancing convenience and long-term appeal.

Each development has been designed to meet and exceed modern buyer expectations of space and comfort for a lock-up-and-leave lifestyle.

“Their prime locations, breathtaking views, luxurious finishes and high-end appliances will appeal to affluent downsizers and empty nesters looking for a low-maintenance home without compromising on style, comfort or an exceptional lifestyle,” Mr Clarke said.

“Both Ora and Serai offer spacious open-plan residences with floor-to-ceiling windows and oversized balconies which capture glorious water vistas.”

Commodious living areas extend to wraparound balconies, encouraging effortless indoor/outdoor living and further boosting the exquisite outlooks.

Floor-to-ceiling double glazing, high ceilings, European appliances, and quality finishes and fittings contribute to a sense of understated luxury while passive-solar design principles enhance comfortability and energy efficiency throughout the year.

For those who enjoy resort-style living, Ora Sorrento and Serai provide extensive amenities, creating the perfect setting to unwind and connect with family and friends.

Facilities include fully equipped gyms, steam rooms, heated pools and yoga studios alongside shared kitchens, lounge and dining areas.

Ora Sorrento also includes a putting green and a bocce court, while Serai comprises bike and watercraft storage.

“They have been thoughtfully designed to exceed buyers’ expectations, delivering an active coastal lifestyle complemented by world-class resort-style amenities which evoke the luxury of a boutique hotel,” Mr Clarke said.

“With meticulously crafted spaces for entertaining family and friends, residents can enjoy a seamless blend of sophistication and comfort.”

The appeal of the developments is further highlighted by their proximity to significant amenity and leisure attractions.

At Ora Sorrento, residents are within walking distance of Hillarys Boat Harbour, while both developments present easy access to ocean and river activities.

Serai is also close to award-winning restaurants, cafes and boutique shops.

With Serai and Ora Sorrento boasting a six-star and seven-star Nationwide House Energy Rating Scheme rating respectively, the developments prioritise eco-friendly, responsible living.

“Sustainability is at the forefront, with passive-solar design, solar panels, electric vehicle charging, waterwise planting, energy-efficient appliances and sustainable materials offering residents lower energy costs, a reduced environmental footprint and year-round comfort,” Mr Clarke said.

With Serai approaching completion and move-in beginning from April, buyers are encouraged to act ahead of anticipated price increases and the State Government’s stamp duty concession conclusion.

Real Estate Institute of Western Australia data has forecasted a median unit price growth of 15-20 per cent in 2026, driven by a rise in demand for properties across the state.

“This level of growth reflects a strong Perth apartment market and suggests those who purchase now are likely to benefit from current pricing ahead of anticipated capital growth and sustained demand,” Mr Clarke said.

“Quality stock in premium locations, such as Serai in North Fremantle and Ora in Sorrento, tends to outperform – and being ahead of the curve today could translate to meaningful equity tomorrow.

“Purchasing now will also avoid competing in an even tighter market later in the year as investor and owner-occupier demand increases.”

Availability across both developments reflect strong buyer demand with one-bedroom apartments now sold out.

At Serai, two and three-bedroom apartments start from $1.995 million, with only a small number of two-bedroom options still available. Townhouses begin from $2.98 million while penthouses are from $3.95 million.

At Ora Sorrento, two-bedroom residences start from $1.945 million, while three-bedroom apartments begin from $2.645 million and penthouses from $5.995 million.

Ora Sorrento has been designed around the concept of barefoot luxury, with stunning resort-style amenity spaces, opulent materials, high-end interiors and inspiring forever views.

Serai has been architecturally designed to make the most of the incredible river and ocean outlooks, comprising refined resort-style amenities, elegant finishes and spacious floor plans.
