Boutique apartment developer&nbsp;Alroe&nbsp;is currently delivering the most luxurious apartment project in <a href="/developments/main-beach-qld-4217">Main Beach</a> right now.

Different to what would be classed as a typical apartment development, the residences at Lune have been designed to be more like exclusive villas, with just six apartments in the building, located on the fringe of Broadwater and only a short walk from Tedder Avenue.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=146373 project_image_fid=297482]

<a href="/new-apartments/lune-main-beach-19-21-rankin-parade-main-beach-qld-4217">Lune</a> marks the latest milestone in Alroe’s reputation as a leader in low-density developments. With over 13 years of experience across South East Queensland, <a href="/developers/alroe-constructions">Alroe</a> has delivered exceptional homes under its own brand, as well as for other developers, through its in-house construction arm, Alroe Constructions.

We recently visited the Lune site and spoke with Tye Alroe about the project, alongside <a href="/project-marketer/new-property-agent-qld-npa">NPA Projects</a> Director Andrew Erwin, who is overseeing the sales and marketing of the apartments.

“We designed this architectural building to truly bring the outside in,” Alroe said, adding that the structure's half-moon design was inspired by the ebb and flow of the tides in Main Beach.

The apartments at Lune start from nearly 300 sqm and each have three bedrooms, three and a half bathrooms, and three parking spaces.

Both of the ground-level apartments, and the two two-level penthouses, each have their own private swimming pools.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=146373 project_image_fid=297498]

Andrew Erwin says&nbsp;Lune delivers exactly what the Main Beach market has been seeking.

“Main Beach is evolving into a luxury destination with a growing demand for boutique, high-quality residences like these,” Erwin explained.&nbsp;

&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=146373 project_image_fid=297485]

Construction is well underway, with the building set to top out by Christmas 2024 and handovers expected by mid-2025.&nbsp;

Not since The Monaco, which all-but sold out several years ago, has there been an opportunity to buy something of this luxury and scale in Main Beach.

Quietly positioned among the leafy streets and million-dollar homes of Rochedale, national developer&nbsp;<a href="/developers/metro-property-group">Metro Property </a>is bringing a fresh offering to the booming suburb with its new development, Citrine Townhomes.

With townhouses comprising just six per cent of Rochedale’s dwellings, <a href="/new-apartments/citrine-townhomes-rochedale-311-gardner-road-rochedale">Citrine Townhomes</a> presents a rare opportunity for families seeking an alternative to traditional detached homes, without compromising on size, lifestyle, amenities or location.

Known for its premium real estate, <a href="/developments/rochedale-qld-4123">Rochedale</a> is home to luxury properties set amid green spaces, top-tier schools, and a wide range of amenities. As one of Greater Brisbane’s fastest-growing suburbs, it continues to attract families and professionals drawn to its peaceful atmosphere and excellent connectivity.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=136295 project_image_fid=273135]

&nbsp;

The 90 three and four-bedroom townhouses at Citrine are centrally located, a short walk to&nbsp;Rochedale Village.&nbsp;Anchored by a large Coles supermarket, the village also features dining options, medical services, pharmacies, and fitness facilities, all within 500 metres of the development.&nbsp;

For broader retail and entertainment options, Westfield Garden City is less than five minutes away by car, boasting over 400 specialty stores, event cinemas, and dining establishments.

Future upgrades to Rochedale Town Centre promise an even greater array of amenities, including a new supermarket, additional retail and dining options, and improved pedestrian access.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=136295 project_image_fid=273134]

Flying Pepper and Hutongli Restaurant are some of the nearest dining options from Citrine, en route to several parks that are dotted around the neighbourhood.

Pask Family Park, Kev Vanstone Park, Strawberry Fields Place, and Fischer Family Park are some of the nearby parks with playgrounds within a 15-minute walk from Citrine.

The suburb's educational infrastructure further underscores Rochedale’s appeal as a family-friendly destination, offering a range of highly regarded schools, such as Rochedale State School, Redeemer Lutheran College, and St Peters Catholic Primary School, all located within a short drive.

<a href="/developers/forte-group">Forte Group</a>’s commitment to excellence goes beyond strategic site acquisition—its <a href="/new-apartments/nexus-apartments-thomastown-240-high-street-thomastown">Nexus Apartments</a> project is a true reflection of the location.

Designed by the award-winning <a href="/architects/hachem-and-cornetta-partners-architects">Hachem Architecture</a> in collaboration with Cornetta Partners, the development consists of two five-level buildings at 240 High Street, just steps from the town’s historic 1880s train station.

The proximity to the railway isn’t merely a convenience; it has been integrated into the design, enhancing both accessibility and the overall living experience.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=29208 project_image_fid=89943]

Large, carriage-shaped windows further reinforce this connection, offering residents views that recall the romance of rail travel.

The architectural concept goes beyond aesthetics, incorporating practical considerations. The ground-level facade of the buildings is designed to reflect the flow of the railway, with the two structures appearing to slide past each other like trains on parallel tracks.&nbsp;

The transition from the exterior to the interior is marked by a careful blend of materials, creating a connection between the facade and the lobby’s textured design elements.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=29208 project_image_fid=89951]

Inside, the apartments are designed to be both functional and a refuge from the busy world outside.&nbsp;

The interiors feature soft edges and bold shapes that tie into the overall architectural theme, with finishes and fixtures selected for their practicality and stylish appeal.

Large windows and expansive outdoor spaces allow natural light to flood the living areas, offering views of both the urban landscape and the surrounding suburban greenery.&nbsp;

The kitchen is equipped with premium Bosch stainless steel appliances, including a 60 cm four-burner gas cooktop, oven, and matching dishwasher, combining practicality with refined style.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=29208 project_image_fid=89950]

A stone benchtop and splashback with laminate cabinetry and a single-bowl undermount sink complete the contemporary design.

The bathrooms maintain this high standard, featuring brushed finish fixtures, glass shower screens, and vitreous china basins. Floor and wall tiles create a streamlined, low-maintenance aesthetic.

The bedrooms are spacious, with timber or carpet flooring, built-in robes, and LED lighting that enhances the overall atmosphere.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=29208 project_image_fid=89946]

The public space at the centre of the development enhances the sense of community. This bustling area, located between the two buildings, is designed as a dynamic hub where residents and visitors can gather.

Retail offerings on the ground floor will include cafes, with seating spilling into the open courtyard. The space is intended to evolve, with potential for events such as musical performances, pop-up bars, and art installations.

“As Architects and designers, we want to create places that endure. With Nexus, we think we’ve produced a landmark building that people will be happy to return to for years to come," Fady Hachem, Principal Director of Hachem Architecture, said.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=29208 project_image_fid=89942]

The development’s location, with easy access to the <a href="/developments/thomastown-vic-3074">Thomastown</a> train station and key roads, ensures convenient movement between Melbourne’s CBD and the northern suburbs.&nbsp;

Nexus Apartments is on track to complete in early 2025.

Pymble has long been regarded as one of the North Shore's best suburbs.

Dominated by large house estates and most popular with families given the proximity to some of Sydney's best schools, Pymble is an affluent, family-friendly suburb offering a peaceful, suburban lifestyle.

The best street?&nbsp;Telegraph Road.

There have been nine sales over $5 million in the last five years. The street record was set earlier this year when a 2021-built home sold for just over $8 million.

Telegraph Road delivers the best of <a href="/developments/pymble-nsw-2073">Pymble</a>, a leafy street with large estate, but with the added value of close proximity to the Pacific Highway and Mona Vale Road.

At the Eastern end of Telegraph Road, local developer <a href="/developers/harvie-group">Harvie Group</a> secured over 3,000 sqm and is delivering <a href="/new-townhouses/coachwood-pymble-76-telegraph-road-pymble">Coachwood</a>, some of the only townhouses in the suburb.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=146554 project_image_fid=296344]

Of the 4,000 homes in Pymble, less than 100 are a townhouse, the last census showed.

The rarity of such a development hasn't been lost on locals, with three of the 10 townhouses already snapped up.

The townhouses have been designed to cater for the downsizer. Each have three bedrooms, three bathrooms, a fireplace, and outdoor enteratining areas.

Some residences offer the buyer to include a private lift.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=146554 project_image_fid=296345]

Future residents of Coachwood will be a short walk from&nbsp;local boutiques, cafés, and restaurants, which are increasing in number.

Public transport options are also easily accessible, with Pymble Train Station just minutes away.

Down the road is the&nbsp;Dalrymple-Hay Nature Reserve, where the Browns Forest loop trail offers an unspoilt walking experience amid the Blue Gum forest, and the&nbsp;revered Pymble Golf Club is a five-minute drive.

Bobbin Head, located 18 minutes away, provides further opportunities for outdoor activities, including bushwalking, fishing, and picnicking.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=146554 project_image_fid=316592]

Coachwood is also well-positioned near top educational institutions, including Sacred Heart Pymble Primary School, Pymble Public School, and Pymble Ladies’ College.

Construction firm&nbsp;<a href="/builders/dilcara">Dilcara</a> has already commenced construction of Coachwood, and is estimating a late 2025 completion.

Telegraph Road set to score Pymble rare new townhouse development

Recent Gold Coast downsizers Kim and Adam Crawford didn't just settle for one apartment in Nera, one of the new apartment developments on <a href="/developments/chevron-island-qld-4217">Chevron Island</a>.

The Gold Coast locals first bought a three-bedroom apartment in the Parneno Street building, which will be their new home. Impressed with the value on offer, they also secured a two-bedroom apartment.

“My husband and I were nervous about moving from our larger home to a sky home, fearing that we might feel rather claustrophobic," Kim, who hails from Wimbledon in England, says.

"However, Nera’s wow factor pleasantly surprised us, and we don’t feel that this change is like downsizing at all."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108640 project_image_fid=259355]

As an entrepreneur running her own beauty business from home, Kim was delighted Nera offered the prospect of still being fully equipped to operate her business and continue doing what she loves.

“We were in total awe of the stunning scenery that surrounds us, with a little bit of everything from the hinterland, river to the ocean, it’s truly breathtaking.”

While some living space is sacrificed, residents benefit from significant amenity, which was a big attraction to Kim.

“I cannot speak more highly of the rooftop amenities, the pool that overlooks Surfers, a yoga platform, and plunge pools are a few indulgences that I love about Nera.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108640 project_image_fid=253873]

The resident’s roof deck has 360-degree views along with amenities including an infinity rooftop pool, wellness spas, a fitness centre, residents’ private dining, sky lounges with fire pits, and a yoga platform.

<a href="/new-apartments/nera-residences-chevron-island-8-10-parneno-street-chevron-island">Nera</a>, developed by <a href="/developers/bastion">Bastion Property Group</a>, comprises 81 apartments, six sky homes, and a full-floor penthouse.

Construction has commenced. Nera is expected to be completed in 2026.

From Wimbledon to Chevron Island: Urban Buyer Q&A

It's been well documented that the Brisbane unit market has been one of the strongest property markets in Australia in 2024.

Only bettered by Perth, the growth in the unit market in <a href="/developments/brisbane-qld">Brisbane</a> has been the strongest it has been in around four decades, exclusive data from property data analytics company CoreLogic found

You'd have to go <a href="/news/qld/brisbane-units-growing-at-fastest-rate-since-1988">back to the 1980s</a> to find a better year of growth.

The tight supply in both the established and off the plan market has driven the growth in both segments. When there has been new projects launched in 2024, which have been few and far between, the apartments have been snapped up.

While there are several key developments that have been submitted to the Brisbane City Council, and approved, over the course of 2024, it's difficult to know when those large-scale projects will go to market given the complexities in the built environment in South East Queensland.

In this article, we take a closer look at the&nbsp;what, the&nbsp;who, and the&nbsp;where&nbsp;of the best new apartment developments launching in Brisbane in 2025.

<h2>What: Callista on Park</h2>

<h2>Where: 111 Boundary Street, West End QLD 4101</h2>

<h2>Who: Sekisui House Australia</h2>

After nearly a decade of redefining the apartment landscape in <a href="/developments/west-end-qld-4101">West End</a>, <a href="/developers/sekisui-house-australia">Sekisui House Australia</a> is set to pull the final curtain at its $1.2 billion, multi-award-winning West Village community.

The final tower, <a href="/new-apartments/callista-on-park-west-end-49-mollison-street-west-end">Callista on Park</a>,&nbsp;will have 96 two, three and four-bedroom apartments and a roof terrace with an infinity pool edge, a wellness area, dining areas, and an open-air conservatory, all of which will be surrounded by landscaping and extensive city views.

<img alt="Callista" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="a1d31f65-f46f-4b84-a972-956a7ba6e00d" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202024-11-28%20at%2010.18.21%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=BY_11kYw4SM8LcmOaOvULHBWX7B6BtVy" />

Renowned architecture firm Rothelowman has designed Callista, having previously been the lead architect for the village's penultimate stage, The Allere Collection, where there are just a handful of apartments remaining.

The Opulnet Collection has the largest floorplans that have been produced in the now thriving community. There are four and five-bedroom configurations on offer, with internal living spaces ranging from 184 sqm to 300 sqm.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=114215 project_image_fid=257538]

<a href="/new-apartments/the-allere-collection-west-village-mollison-street-west-end">The Allere Collection</a> will finish construction in early 2025, paving the way for Callistra construction to start later in the year.

<h2>What: One Hundred on Leichhardt</h2>

<h2>Where:&nbsp;100 Leichhardt Street, Spring Hill</h2>

<h2>Who: Dibcorp</h2>

Franco Di Bartolomeo's <a href="/developers/dibcorp-properties">Dibcorp</a> will be taking its redevelopment of the <a href="/developments/spring-hill-qld-4000">Spring Hill</a> Hotel to market in the coming months.

Dibcorp, who sold out Bide Newstead before its completion last year, will be launching <a href="/new-apartments/one-hundred-spring-hill">One Hundred on Leichhardt</a>, an 18-level tower above the former Spring Hill Hotel.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=142092 project_image_fid=314270]

As part of the development, Dibcorp will be restoring the old hotel which has fallen into disrepair in recent years.

Above the hotel, and new retail and commercial spaces will be 119 two and three-bedroom apartments.&nbsp;

To give buyers confidence, Dibcorp has already started construction on site at 100 Leichhardt Street, just down the road from Roma St Parklands and the convenience of Boundary Street that runs through from Brisbane Grammar School to the Howard Smith Wharves.

Milestone Property Group, led by veteran project marketer Jeremy Gilmore, will be handling the sales and marketing.

<h2>&nbsp;What: Two towers, 795 apartments</h2>

<h2>Where: 204 Alice Street, Brisbane</h2>

<h2>Who: Meriton</h2>

Harry Triguboff's apartment giant&nbsp;<a href="/developers/meriton" target="">Meriton</a> will be expected to launch its two-tower <a href="/new-apartments/204-alice-street-brisbane">Alice Street, Brisbane CBD development</a> next year, having secured approval for the&nbsp;$1.3 billion project in October.

There will be just under 800 apartments across the two skyscrapers,&nbsp;designed by their go-to architect in Queensland&nbsp;<a href="/architects/dbi">DBI</a>&nbsp;who has designed Meriton's recent Gold Coast portfolio.

<img alt="First look: Meriton's full plans for first Brisbane apartment development revealed" data-entity-type="" data-entity-uuid="" src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/f_auto,c_limit,w_1440,q_auto/https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/field/image/Screenshot%202024-01-10%20at%208.44.57%20am.png?VersionId=7Vg2Y5kpSLuqC9s7YnnHzJ5lciB87Bzn" />

The towers will sit on the 5,485 sqm site directly across the road from the City Botanic Gardens from the Alice Street frontage. They will include a childcare centre, retail and food and beverage spaces, and communal open space facilities like swimming pools, an outdoor gym and play space on the level five podium level before it gives way to the main tower structure.

<h2>What: The Bedford by Mosaic</h2>

<h2>Where: 16-30 Prospect Street,&nbsp;Kangaroo Point</h2>

<h2>Who: Mosaic Property Group</h2>

Bulletproof builder-developer, <a href="/developers/mosaic-property-group" target="">Mosaic Property Group</a>, has two new projects set to launch in Kangaroo Point.

The most impressive is <a href="/new-apartments/the-bedford-by-mosaic-16-30-prospect-street-kangaroo-point">The Bedford by Mosaic</a>, 128 apartments above a full-line Woolworths on a Prospect Street site that has been vacant for over three decades.

<img alt="Mosaic" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="c108d7ce-fb95-40d7-bc3c-267d4db5b0f9" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202024-11-28%20at%2012.03.43%E2%80%AFPM.png?VersionId=kW9khnSPUgM83ssVxwNBzadD.o0VL5os" />

Morris tweaked the plans they inherited from Woolworths' development arm Fabcot, bringing in <a href="/architects/cottee-parker-architects" target="">Cottee Parker</a> to revise the scheme to include more three and four-bedroom apartments.

The building will also have a gym on the podium level, with the majority of facilities, like a 20m pool, wellness space with sauna and ice plunge, golf simulator and kitchen and dining space, located on the rooftop.

<h2>What: 23-level tower, 126 apartments</h2>

<h2>Where: Linton Street, Kangaroo Point</h2>

<h2>Who: Mosaic Property Group</h2>

After The Bedford, Mosaic will no doubt be looking to take advantage of the boom around the Olympics precinct.

They have another site in Kangaroo Point, just one row back from The Gabba at <a href="/new-apartments/77-linton-street-kangaroo-point">77 Linton Street</a>, where they have approved plans for a 23-level, BDA Architecture-designed tower with 126 apartments.

They will be 80 two-bed and 46 three-bedroom apartments in the building that also borders Vulture Street.

<img alt="Linton" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="bd0d05f1-888d-4119-bbb3-5e98b65cc446" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202024-11-28%20at%2012.15.40%E2%80%AFPM.png?VersionId=7CmiFiqe69f4YjxgRe1gfYrrz.5P_igr" />

The level 24 rooftop will have a swimming&nbsp;pool, outdoor theatre area, barbecue areas, and a sauna.

BDA wrote in their planning documentation that the surrounding density of the "exceptional site" suggests it is the perfect location for the proposed development.

"The site’s prime location in close proximity to The Gabba Stadium provides an ideal opportunity to create long and short term accommodation options for sporting and entertainment events," BDA said.

In this article, we take a closer look at the what, the who, and the where of the best new apartment developments launching in Brisbane in 2025.

Brisbane's top five new apartment developments to go to market in 2025

The hot new apartment market in Palm Beach is set to receive another injection of luxury apartments in early 2025, with two recent approvals paving the way for more half and full-floor apartments near the beach.

Sydney-based developer <a href="/developers/chanine-developments">Chanine Developments</a> has been given the green light to develop its first project outside of New South Wales, while local developer <a href="/developments/palm-beach-qld-4221">Macquarie York</a> has its sights set on launching <a href="/new-apartments/cirrus-palm-beach-1101-gold-coast-highway-palm-beach">Cirrus</a> after its recent approval.

Earlier this year Chanine Developments secured a prime site across 1407 Gold Coast Highway and 402-404 The Esplanade, swiftly filing plans for a boutique eight-level building with 15 half-floor apartments and a massive five-bedroom penthouse with a private rooftop pool.

Marwan&nbsp;Chanine&nbsp;said the vision&nbsp;is to bring the opulence of the Eastern Suburbs to&nbsp;<a href="/developments/palm-beach-qld-4221">Palm Beach</a>, in both finishes and aesthetics.

"The team is consistently looking across the entire eastern seaboard, and we've always loved Queensland,"&nbsp;<a href="/developers/chanine-developments" target="">Chanine</a>&nbsp;said of their first project outside of New South Wales.

"We're not building anymore coastline, so there's always value on the water."

Chanine has completed several developments across Sydney over the years, and is soon to launch a new project in Bellevue Hill, one of Sydney's most affluent suburbs.

The project is expected to hit the market in the first quarter of 2025.

Macquarie York is working toward an early 2025 launch of Cirrus, which also recently received approval from the Gold Coast City Council.

Cirrus is further south than the Chanine development, near the Palm Beach Surf Club and meeting the prestigous Jefferson Lane. It will comprise just 10 full-floor apartments and a two-level penthouse.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=22108 project_image_fid=312173]

Cirrus will also feature a level one recereation deck with a swimming pool and lounge area overlooking the ocean.

Macquarie York secured a height uplift for Cirrus, at 13 levels. Managing Director Roy Skaf highlighted the strong engagement from the Gold Coast City Council to get the project approved.

“I want to acknowledge the exceptional engagement from Gold Coast City Council Oﬃcers throughout the assessment process, and thank both the Planning &amp; Regulation Committee and Full Council for their overwhelming support of this landmark development," Skaf said.

"Their vision and support have been instrumental in bringing Cirrus to life.”

Macquarie York had Plus Architecture take the architectural lead for the development.

“Having experienced Plus Architecture’s design excellence capabilities on Nina Chevron Island and Sunset Residence in Surfers Paradise, we knew they could help us achieve something truly exceptional here," Skaf added.

"The result speaks for itself – Cirrus will be an iconic addition to Palm Beach’s skyline and sets new standards for sophisticated beachfront living on the Gold Coast.”

<img alt="Cirrus" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="24f97903-bc4d-4cae-9432-314759d35c6a" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202024-11-27%20at%2010.25.29%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=l4NNVnkqsAVVuyZ3954sY7YZrVIMrUx0" />

Plus Director Danny Juric said they approached the&nbsp;project as an opportunity to demonstrate how design excellence can transform a site into an architectural landmark.

"Our collaborative process with Council, often involving real-time design refinements sketched during meetings, helped us create a building that not only maximises resident amenity but makes a genuine contribution to Palm Beach’s urban fabric.”

“The building’s form is deliberately shaped to maximise setbacks and optimise views, while its street level interface creates a welcoming presence that strengthens Palm Beach’s emerging village heart.”

Palm Beach has been one of the most searched suburbs on Urban since the pandemic hit in early 2020, and its popularity hasn't abated.&nbsp;

The problem has only been surrounding stock, rather than demand. Projects back in 2021 and 2022 flew off the shelves and quickly sold out, leaving buyers waiting for the next available development, which wasn't forthcoming as the market went through a cycle of developers buying sites and submitting applications.

Luke Reaby from site amalgamation specialists GV Property Group says record revenues in the off the plan sector have renewed developer confidence, especially in beachside areas, making luxury projects the most feasilbe to deliver

Two new luxury apartment developments coming to Palm Beach in early 2025

The <a href="/developments/gold-coast-qld">Gold Coast</a> is set to see an exciting wave of new apartment developments completed in 2025, adding to the region's ever-growing skyline and reinforcing its reputation as one of Australia's most sought-after destinations for both investors and residents.

As demand for premium living spaces continues to rise, these seven new off the plan developments each offer a distinct style of living, ranging from island retreats and gated communities to absolute beachfront properties—and everything in between.

Several of these developments, marketed during and shortly after the pandemic, have attracted a significant portion of buyers from Sydney and Melbourne, many of whom plan to relocate to the Gold Coast upon completion or soon after.

In this article, we take a closer look at the what, the who, and the where of the best new developments completing on the Gold Coast in 2025.

<h2>What: Pipis</h2>

<h3>Who:&nbsp;SIERA</h3>

<h3>Where:&nbsp;303 Golden Four Drive, Bilinga QLD 4225</h3>

The best beachfront apartment development to complete next year is SIERA's <a href="/new-apartments/pipis-bilinga-303-golden-four-drive-bilinga-qld-4225">Pipis</a> in <a href="/developments/bilinga-qld-4225">Bilinga</a>.

Just two half-floor apartments remain, not including the two-level penthouses which will be released to the market early next year.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=138311 project_image_fid=264300]

Pipis comprises just 17 apartments on the dress circle Golden Four Drive and will also feature&nbsp;a heated lap pool, gym, and sun lounge deck.&nbsp;

Around 65 per cent of the buyers so far have been from the Gold Coast and Brisbane, a mix of owner-occupiers, downsizers and investors, while 35 per cent have come from interstate, outside of Sydney and&nbsp;<a href="/developments/melbourne-vic" target="">Melbourne</a>.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=138311 project_image_fid=264308]

<a href="/builders/lps-group">LPS Group</a> has officially topped out Pipis, with the internal fit out coming soon which will see residents move in in early 2025.

<h2>What: Tapestry</h2>

<h3>Who:&nbsp;SIERA</h3>

<h3>Where:&nbsp;39 Darrambal Street, Chevron Island QLD 4217</h3>

<a href="/developers/siera">SIERA</a> is also working on <a href="/new-apartments/tapestry-chevron-island-39-darrambal-street-chevron-island">Tapestry</a> on Chevron Island, its debut Gold Coast apartment development.

The 22-level, <a href="/architects/bda-architecture">BDA</a>-designed tower comprises 113 apartments that have proven popular with downsizers and those from regional NSW and VIC.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108641 project_image_fid=192961]

The rooftop is one of the best on the Gold Coast, with home to a private dining space and kitchen, which can be closed off, lounge and fire pit, yoga lawn, pool, spa and sundeck, barbecue and alfresco area, gym, sauna, steam room, and lounge area separated by extensive landscaping.

Tapestry was the first development SIERA took on in the Gold Coast, having spent several years building boutique townhouse developments in Brisbane's inner-ring.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108641 project_image_fid=192964]

SIERA Founder Brent Thompson had been&nbsp;scoping out the Gold Coast market for 18 months before purchasing a prime 1500 sqm site on Darrambal Street.

On submitting plans for Tapestry in 2021, Thompson said&nbsp;<a href="/developments/chevron-island-qld-4217">Chevron Island</a>&nbsp;has a "great local community".

"It's a tight-knit community, while being ideally located just a five-minute walk from the international tourist hub of Surfers Paradise."

SIERA's in-house construction team is delivering Tapestry, a 22-level tower with 113 apartments just off the Thomas Street retail strip.

"We have always built in-house, so it was really more about building a team of experienced high-rise staff to deliver Tapestry as we always have as builder/ developer," Thompson says.

<h2>What: Capri</h2>

<h3>Who:&nbsp;Monaco Property Group</h3>

<h3>Where:&nbsp;81 Salerno Street, Isle Of Capri QLD 4217</h3>

<a href="/new-townhouses/capri-villas-81-salerno-street-isle-of-capri">Capri</a> will be the only major townhouse development to be completed in the heart of the Gold Coast in 2025.

More like a luxury villa community rather than the traditional townhouse, Capri, named after its location on the Isle of Capri, is being built by Greyburn on behalf of developer <a href="/developers/monaco-property-group">Monaco Property Group</a>.

Construction is on track for completion in late 2025.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=139511 project_image_fid=298833]

The gated Capri comprises&nbsp;48 two and three-level villas designed by <a href="/architects/plus-architecture">Plus Architecture</a> and BDA Architecture.&nbsp;

The villas have been cleverly oriented around central resort-style amenities like a resort-style pool,&nbsp;barbecue area, and a lounge with a kitchen and fireplace.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=139511 project_image_fid=298822]

Capri is just a short walk from the cafes and shops of Capri on Via Roma.

So far the villas have been popular with empty nesters from nearby suburbs, as well as from interstate early retirees.

<h2>What: Lagoon</h2>

<h3>Who:&nbsp;Drew Group</h3>

<h3>Where:&nbsp;11 Cronin Avenue, Main Beach QLD 4217</h3>

Jon Drew's <a href="/developers/drew-group">Drew Group</a> is progressing well in its twin-tower Main Beach development, <a href="/new-apartments/lagoon-main-beach-11-23-cronin-avenue-main-beach">Lagoon Main Beach</a>.

The $390 million development is currently under construction by building giant <a href="/builders/hutchinson-builders">Hutchison's</a>, who are expecting a Q3 2025 completion.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108747 project_image_fid=224106]

Lagoon is the largest development in the area in three decades with 259 apartments.&nbsp;

Designed by Plus Architecture, Lagoon boasts premium amenities, including a central pool oasis, fitness centre, yoga deck and a business hub.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108747 project_image_fid=221589]

It's attracted a wide variety of buyers, given it has offered one, two, three and four-bedroom apartments since its launch.

Lagoon Main Beach is around 85 per cent sold.

<h2>What: Lune</h2>

<h3>Who:&nbsp;Alroe Constructions</h3>

<h3>Where:&nbsp;19-21 Rankin Parade, Main Beach QLD 4217</h3>

Another development that will also be completed in <a href="/developments/main-beach-qld-4217">Main Beach</a>, less than 600 metres from Lagoon, is&nbsp;<a href="/developers/alroe-constructions">Alroe</a>’s boutique development, Lune.

<a href="/new-apartments/lune-main-beach-19-21-rankin-parade-main-beach-qld-4217">Lune</a> is a low-rise project comprising six half-floor apartments, each with nearly 300 sqm of living space.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=146373 project_image_fid=297482]

Each villa-style apartment includes three ensuite bedrooms, expansive outdoor areas, and private pools for the ground-level apartments and penthouses.

Designed to provide a spacious, laid-back coastal lifestyle, Lune has already garnered strong local and interstate interest.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=146373 project_image_fid=297485]

Alroe's in-house construction company, <a href="/builders/alroe-constructions">Alroe Constructions</a>, is handling the build. Construction began in May 2024, with completion anticipated in mid-2025.&nbsp;

<h2>What: Yves</h2>

<h3>Who:&nbsp;Hirsch &amp; Faigen</h3>

<h3>Where:&nbsp;7-9 Mermaid Avenue, Mermaid Beach QLD 4218</h3>

The sold-out <a href="/new-apartments/yves-mermaid-beach-7-9-mermaid-avenue-mermaid-beach">Yves Mermaid Beach</a> is Melbourne developer <a href="/developers/hirsch-faigen">Hirsch &amp; Faigen</a>'s third successful development on the Gold Coast. They debuted with Hemingway Palm Beach, before then completing Emerson in Kirra earlier this year.

Yves, their largest development on the Gold Coast, has 146 apartments across a 26-level building not far from the beach.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=102451 project_image_fid=186080]

They've had the same team throughout their Gold Coast journey, with <a href="/architects/rothelowman">Rothelowman</a> handling all the designs and Hutchinson's building each development

Hutchies is forecasting a mid-2025 completion of Yves, which features a&nbsp;gym, sauna, barbecue areas, and a rooftop lounge with ocean views.&nbsp;

In this article, we take a closer look at the what, the who, and the where of the best new developments completing on the Gold Coast in 2025

Gold Coast's top six new developments completing in 2025

For most new apartment buildings, the Owners Corporation starts life with little more than a bank account and the first quarterly strata levies.

At <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/buildings/9-gay-street-castle-hill-9-gay-street-castle-hill-nsw-2154">9 Gay Street</a> in <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/castle-hill-nsw-2154">Castle Hill</a>, it starts with around $7 million in reserve.

It's an unusual legacy of what was once one of Sydney's highest-profile apartment remediation projects. When the development, originally known as Skyview and built by disgraced developer Top Place, came under scrutiny by then NSW Building Commissioner David Chandler, an $11 million remediation bond was negotiated to ensure any building defects could be fully rectified.

The building underwent an 18-month remediation program, during which around $4 million of that bond was spent bringing the building up to the standard it should have been in from the outset.

After extensive inspections, all active rectification orders have been lifted. What's more, around $7.2 million remains secured for the Owners Corporation for the next 15 years.

In a twist few would have predicted, what began as a significant concern for purchasers has left the building with something almost unheard of in the apartment market: a multi-million-dollar financial reserve from day one.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=147685 project_image_fid=359136]

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/project-marketer/equitifund-group">Equitifund</a> Executive Chairman Greg Huxley said the structure offers buyers a level of certainty that is difficult to replicate.

"The $11 million bond established for the Skyview Castle Hill development represents exceptional value, providing genuine financial security for purchasers," Huxley said.

"Unlike a standard insurance policy, this bond consists of real funds held in trust for the Owners Corporation, offering a tangible layer of protection and added peace of mind."

The apartments themselves have been designed with a focus on practical, contemporary living. Interiors feature Smeg appliances, stone benchtops, tiled living areas, carpeted bedrooms, 2.7-metre ceilings, floor-to-ceiling glazing, and ducted heating and cooling throughout.

Residents also have access to a range of shared amenities, including two rooftop barbecue areas, a swimming pool, children's playgrounds, secure building access, storage cages, and visitor parking.

The location continues to be one of the project's strongest drawcards. Castle Hill Metro Station sits virtually on the doorstep, providing direct connections across Sydney's expanding Metro network, while Castle Towers offers extensive retail, dining, entertainment, and service amenities within walking distance.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=147685 project_image_fid=359127]

The building, now named after its location at 9 Gay Street, comprises a diverse mix of one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments starting from just under $600,000.

Equitifund National Sales Director Ben Hamblett said demand in the Hills District continues to be driven by buyers seeking convenience and connectivity.

"Interest from both owner-occupiers and investors in Castle Hill remains exceptionally strong, with buyers consistently prioritising developments in close proximity to the Metro station and Castle Towers Shopping Centre," Hamblett said.

"There is a clear trend in the market, with purchasers seeking convenient access to transport and lifestyle amenities that support a seamless, low-maintenance way of living."

On top of the long-term protection afforded by the remaining $7.2 million bond, Equitifund is offering a limited-time stamp duty rebate on selected apartments.

Eligible purchasers can also secure finance options, including a 3.99 per cent two-year variable rate, loan-to-value ratios of up to 90 per cent, and interest-only lending options through EquitiCredit.

Why this Castle Hill apartment building starts with a $7 million advantage

For much of the past few years, conversations about Australia's property market have centred on the rapid growth seen in Sydney, Brisbane, Gold Coast, and Perth. <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/melbourne-vic-3004">Melbourne</a> has followed a different trajectory.

That relative underperformance is now encouraging some buyers to reassess the city, particularly those willing to look beyond short-term market movements and focus on quality property in established locations, along with the long-term growth prospects of a city expected to overtake Sydney as Australia’s most populous.

John Bekiaris, Research &amp; Market Insights at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/project-marketer/equitifund-group">Projects by Equitifund</a>, said Melbourne's current position is attracting increasingly sophisticated purchasers.

"Melbourne continues to present one of Australia's strongest long-term investment stories," Bekiaris says.

"While other capital cities have experienced stronger recent growth, that relative underperformance is exactly what's attracting sophisticated counter-cyclical investors."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=1979 project_image_fid=363268]

Equitifund isn't just commenting on Melbourne's property market, it's investing in it.

The Sydney-headquartered capital partner has taken over the remaining apartments at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/buildings/victoriana-melbourne-20-queens-road-melbourne-vic-3004">Victoriana</a>, the recently completed glass-encased development opposite Albert Park Lake in Melbourne's tightly held St Kilda Road precinct.

Designed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/rothelowman">Rothelowman</a> and built by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/builders/hickory">Hickory</a>, Victoriana places residents between one of Melbourne's most recognised parklands and the CBD, offering oversized two and three-bedroom apartments aimed at owner-occupiers seeking a genuine alternative to a traditional family home.

The development comprises 232 completed residences alongside a suite of resident amenities, including a 25-metre indoor swimming pool, gymnasium, landscaped entertaining areas, resident lounges, EV charging, secure basement parking and a concierge-style arrival experience.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=1979 project_image_fid=363229]

The apartments have been designed with owner-occupiers firmly in mind.&nbsp;Open-plan living and dining areas flow onto generous balconies framing views across Albert Park Lake, Fawkner Park, the Royal Botanic Gardens and the Melbourne skyline.

Kitchens feature Gaggenau appliances, stone benchtops and generous preparation space. Bedrooms include built-in robes, while bathrooms feature full-height textured tiling. Hardwood flooring and ducted air conditioning complete residences designed for long-term living.

Rothelowman's architecture takes its cues from the landscape opposite the site. Sweeping horizontal glazing references the movement of Albert Park Lake, while generous balconies and expansive glazing strengthen the connection between the apartments and the surrounding parklands. The result is a building designed to deliver the scale and amenity expected of luxury apartment living, while offering the larger floorplans increasingly sought by owner-occupiers.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=1979 project_image_fid=363284]

The location is one of Victoriana's defining characteristics. Positioned on Queens Road, residents are directly opposite Albert Park Lake and within easy reach of Fawkner Park, the Royal Botanic Gardens, South Melbourne, St Kilda Road and the CBD. With few comparable development opportunities remaining in the precinct, buyers are increasingly placing value on outlooks that are unlikely to be interrupted by future construction.

Greg Huxley, Founder of Equitifund, believes those qualities become even more valuable over time.

"Premium real estate has always rewarded buyers who take a long-term view," Huxley said.

"Victoriana represents the kind of asset that's increasingly difficult to recreate today, particularly in an established location like Queens Road."

He said rising construction costs are also changing the way buyers assess completed developments.

"When you combine an irreplaceable location with thoughtful architecture and premium finishes, you create something that becomes increasingly difficult to reproduce as construction costs continue to rise."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=1979 project_image_fid=363228]

According to National Sales Director Ben Hamblett, enquiry has been driven largely by Melbourne downsizers and buyers upgrading from smaller apartments.

"Interest in Victoriana continues to build, with strong buyer focus on the larger owner-occupier residences within the development," Hamblett says.

"Enquiry is increasingly driven by local buyers who recognise the rarity of what's on offer: park-facing apartments in an established neighbourhood where new development opportunities are becoming increasingly scarce. At Victoriana, the view is not just a feature; it's an appreciating asset in its own right."

He said interstate enquiry has also strengthened as buyers reassess Melbourne's position within the national property cycle.

"Melbourne currently stands as the most compelling entry point of any major Australian capital, and discerning buyers are beginning to recognise what those who move early always understand: the best opportunities are taken before the price rise confirms them."

Why now is the time to buy in Melbourne's premium apartment market

Developers and apartment buyers have a narrowing window of opportunity before Brisbane's Olympic infrastructure pipeline begins competing directly with residential construction, pushing up costs, tightening labour supply and making new projects increasingly difficult to deliver.

While Brisbane's apartment market continues to benefit from strong population growth and limited housing supply, industry research suggests the years leading up to 2027 could prove to be the most important period for developers looking to secure builders and buyers hoping to purchase before the next wave of price increases.

A new Colliers report, Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games: Creating Solutions, highlights the scale of the challenge. While thousands of new homes are planned across South East Queensland, the Brisbane Olympic Athletes Village alone will deliver more than 10,500 beds during the Games before being converted into around 1,750 to 2,000 apartments. Equivalent to almost two years of typical inner-city apartment supply, the project will also absorb a significant share of the construction workforce and building materials.

The broader construction pipeline paints an even clearer picture.

Construction Skills Queensland's Horizon 2032 report forecasts Queensland's annual construction pipeline will average $69 billion over the coming years before peaking at $75 billion in 2027-28. Demand for construction workers is expected to increase by 17 per cent to almost 150,000 people, with the industry facing an annual shortfall of around 19,000 workers that could blow out to as many as 35,000 during the peak construction period.

The Olympic venues, athletes village and supporting infrastructure will account for billions of dollars worth of work across South East Queensland through to 2032, creating intense competition for labour at a time when Australia's residential construction sector is already under pressure.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=150489 project_image_fid=373834]

Colliers Queensland Residential Director Andrew Scriven said the convergence of these projects is creating a clear window of opportunity for both developers and buyers.

"From 2027 onwards, the market will shift dramatically," Scriven said.

"Labour will increasingly be locked into government-led infrastructure and Olympic projects, which means private residential developments will face higher costs and tighter margins. The developers who move now are the ones most likely to get projects off the ground."

Scriven said the same dynamic would also affect buyers, with fewer apartment projects expected to launch once construction capacity tightens.

"If you're looking to change your lifestyle over the next five years, now is your window of opportunity to buy."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=150713 project_image_fid=373827]

Developers are already positioning themselves ahead of that window.

Following the success of Monarch at Toowong, Consolidated Properties is preparing to launch two new Brisbane apartment projects in the second half of 2026. They include <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/gloriette-30-bedivere-street-yeerongpilly-qld-4105">Gloriette</a> at Yeerongpilly Green, a 25-storey tower within one of Brisbane's key Olympic precincts, and <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/castile-47-skyring-terrace-newstead-qld-4006">Castile</a>, a recently approved 25-storey riverfront development at 47 Skyring Terrace in Newstead.

Hutchinson Builders will deliver both projects, with early works already underway at Yeerongpilly and Newstead expected to commence later this year.

The timing comes as Brisbane's fundamentals continue to strengthen, with strong interstate migration, population growth and vacancy rates remaining below 1.5 per cent.

Colliers Queensland researcher Pragya Sharma said Greater Brisbane is forecast to require around 40,000 new apartments between 2021 and 2031.

"There's a real mismatch emerging between when housing is needed and when it will be feasible to build," Sharma said.

"As a result, the period leading up to 2027 presents a key window of opportunity for developers to secure approvals, funding and construction capacity, while buyers will have greater choice before supply constraints intensify."

Colliers research outlines a critical pre-2027 window to start residential projects before labour squeeze: now is the time to buy

Developers, buyers on watch in South East Queensland ahead of construction crunch: Colliers

It's taken less than nine months for developer Sherpa Property Group to sell out all 51 apartments in its <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/flourish-oasis-palm-beach-7-9-sixth-avenue-palm-beach-qld-4221">Flourish Oasis</a> development in <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/palm-beach-qld-4221">Palm Beach</a>, over a year before its anticipated completion.

&nbsp;

Located at 7-9 Sixth Avenue, the $67 million development has resonated strongly with both local owner-occupiers and downsizers seeking high-quality apartments within walking distance of the beach, dining precincts and everyday amenities.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=151449 project_image_fid=357458]

Christie Leet, Founder of <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/sherpa-property-group">Sherpa Group</a>, said the sell-out reflected both the strength of the Palm Beach market and the success of Sherpa's community-first approach to development.

"The sell-out of Oasis is a fantastic outcome and reinforces the strong demand we're seeing for thoughtfully designed apartments in lifestyle locations," Leet said.

"From the outset, our vision was to create a development that genuinely enhanced the Palm Beach community while providing residents with exceptional homes and wellness-focused amenities.

"We've been incredibly encouraged by the level of local support throughout the campaign, 72.5 per cent of buyers are locals, with a significant proportion of purchasers choosing Oasis as their future home rather than an investment."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=151449 project_image_fid=357463]

Construction is now progressing following development approval, with trusted builder LPS Group delivering the project and completion anticipated in Q3 2027.

Oasis forms part of Sherpa Group's successful Flourish collection, which has become recognised for its focus on wellness, community and elevated coastal living.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=151449 project_image_fid=357469]

Residents will have private access to a rooftop amenity space featuring a pool, gym, sauna, steam room, hot and cold plunge pools, spa and barbecue facilities.

"We are proud to have delivered a project that has resonated so strongly with the market and look forward to bringing Oasis to life for our future residents."

Sherpa sells out Flourish Oasis in booming Palm Beach

Urban Property Group's <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/la-vera-macquarie-park-94-talavera-road-macquarie-park-nsw-2113">La Vera</a> is leading the next phase of Macquarie Park's residential evolution, with the new apartment development set to become the first of several new apartment projects in the precinct to complete.

The 169-apartment building has now topped out ahead of its scheduled completion in the third quarter of 2026, as new residential investment continues to reshape one of Sydney's largest employment hubs into a true mixed-use precinct.

Cox Architecture has designed La Vera to capture the best of its unique positioning on Talavera Road, orienting the building towards Lane Cove National Park.&nbsp;The building features a sculpted northern façade with flowing curves inspired by the surrounding landscape, while its city-facing elevation adopts a more structured architectural expression to maximise skyline views.

"The vision for the project was to conceive a building that adopted an organic and curvilinear form to the northern portion that faces the Lane Cove National Park," <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/cox-architecture">Cox Architecture</a> Director Felipe Miranda said.

"The residents that reside in the northern portion of the building benefit by having beautifully crafted curved balconies that speak to the natural context and heighten the relationship of their internal living spaces to the external balconies."

La Vera offers a diverse mix of one, two, three, and four-bedroom configurations, with prices currently starting from $740,000. Buyers so far have been a mix of Sydney-based investors,&nbsp;metro commuters, owner-occupiers and downsizers from surrounding North Shore suburbs.

Both investors and owner-occupiers have been drawn to La Vera's proximity to Macquarie University, Macquarie University Hospital, Macquarie Centre and the Sydney Metro, infrastructure that supports both strong rental demand and a convenient lifestyle for residents.

The apartments feature full-height glazing, timber flooring throughout living areas, stone kitchen benchtops, SMEG appliances, floor-to-ceiling bathroom tiling and ducted air conditioning.

Residents will have access to a rooftop recreation level featuring a swimming pool, sauna, barbecue facilities and landscaped relaxation areas, complemented by additional communal space at ground level. Many apartments enjoy uninterrupted views across Lane Cove National Park, reinforcing the project's connection to its natural setting.

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/urban-property-group">Urban Property Group</a>, a family-owned developer and builder with nearly four decades of experience, holds a 4.5-star iCIRT rating and was Australia's first developer to introduce 10-Year Latent Defects Insurance (LDI). La Vera is the first apartment development in <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/macquarie-park-nsw-2113">Macquarie Park</a> approved to offer the additional insurance protection, alongside a five-year warranty on SMEG appliances.

Urban Property Group CEO Patrick Elias said the additional protection reflects changing buyer expectations in the off the plan market.

"Consumers are a lot more weary and a lot more concerned in buying off the plan than they ever have been. Having LDI is a tool to portray the confidence that we have in our product, and a confidence we want buyers to share," Elias said.

Following completion of the building later this year, buyers will move into their apartments well before Christmas.
