The sheer scale of the two skyscrapers at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/victoria-albert-broadbeach-20-albert-avenue-broadbeach-qld-4218">Victoria &amp; Albert</a>, soaring 40 and 64 storeys above the heart of Broadbeach, was always destined to deliver some of the highest and most luxurious apartments ever built in the suburb.

Now, builder-developer <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/iris-capital">Iris Capital</a> has unveiled the Horizon Collection, a selection of residences with the largest floorplans and most commanding views in the towers. The three-bedroom apartments, starting from $4.64 million, include butler’s pantries, multi-purpose rooms, and, in some layouts, master retreats with private sitting areas.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=107928 project_image_fid=3944]

The most prestigious apartments in the Horizon Collection are the sub-penthouses and penthouses. The two sub-penthouses on the 38th level of the Albert Tower are priced at $8.85 million.

Each features three bedrooms, a study, and a flexible multi-purpose room with a sliding partition that allows half the space to function as a games room.

The open-plan kitchen, living, and dining area, complete with a butler’s kitchen and private wine cellar, flows onto a full-width balcony framing panoramic coastal views.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=107928 project_image_fid=3943]

There is now just one sub-penthouse for sale on the 62nd level of the Victoria Tower, with one already secured by an expat owner-occupier. The remaining sub-penthouse, priced at $8.95 million, offers four bedrooms and a wraparound balcony that captures panoramic views up and down the Coast. vistas from every angle.

Crowning each tower is a full-floor penthouse offering multiple expansive indoor and outdoor living and entertaining spaces. Atop the Victoria building is Oceania, which measures over 735 sqm of living space, and Kurrara atop the Albert Tower, which is almost 800 sqm. They each have four bedrooms, including a master and guest suites, a full 360-degree panorama of the Gold Coast, and all the bells and whistles expected of a luxury penthouse. They are priced from a little over $18 million.

“Every detail, every finish has been thoughtfully considered to imbue the penthouses with the ultimate sense of luxury,” says Susan Rossi, Director of Interior Design at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/dbi">DBI</a>, who led both the architecture and interiors for V&amp;A. “We shaped these skyhomes to embody the spirit of Gold Coast luxury.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=107928 project_image_fid=234091]

Victoria &amp; Albert, colloquially known as V&amp;A, is the flagship Gold Coast development by the Sydney-based Iris Capital. Led by developer and hotelier Sam Arnaout, Iris Capital acquired the landmark Niecon Plaza site in 2021. At the time, Arnaout described the company’s expansion into Queensland as a strategic move to capitalise on one of Australia’s strongest growth markets.

“We were initially looking to expand into Victoria, but the massive migration to the regions that followed the pandemic created a new dynamic across the Australian market,” Arnaout said.

“From a strategic point of view, Queensland — and the Gold Coast in particular — is the perfect fit for our business. The fundamentals here are strong: genuine employment growth, high net migration, and an undersupply of apartments driven by strong demand. The Gold Coast has matured into a thriving, progressive regional city with a fantastic future.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=107928 project_image_fid=234097]

Across its two towers, V&amp;A will deliver 425 luxury apartments, supported by a suite of resort-style resident amenities. These include a subtropical podium featuring a 25-metre lap pool, gym, yoga deck, residents’ lounge, kids’ play area, zen garden, and barbecue terraces with outdoor dining spaces.

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/project-marketer/colliers">Colliers</a> Queensland Director David Higgins, who has managed sales at V&amp;A since its 2021 launch, says the project has set a new benchmark for Broadbeach’s luxury apartment market. Colliers Queensland Director David Higgins, who has managed sales at V&amp;A since its 2021 launch, says the project has set a new benchmark for Broadbeach’s luxury apartment market.

“The premium market has definitely spoken, with V&amp;A having now reached over half a billion dollars in presales since our launch,” Higgins says, adding that over 65 per cent of V&amp;A is now sold.

“Our buyers continue to validate the success of the Victoria &amp; Albert development vision and the luxury amenity that comes along with their apartment purchase. Of course, Broadbeach’s most walkable location, just 100m from the Broadbeach surfing beach, makes this luxury apartment a compelling addition to your real estate portfolio.”

Last year, Iris Capital brought construction in-house through its new arm, Iris Built. Completion of the 40-level Albert Tower is scheduled for late 2027, with the 64-level Victoria Tower, the taller of the two, expected to follow in mid-2028.

Victoria & Albert’s Horizon Collection takes Broadbeach living to new heights

From next year, residents of <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/chevron-one-36-44-stanhill-drive-chevron-island-qld-4217">Chevron One</a> will enjoy a level of luxury and exclusivity unmatched anywhere on Chevron Island, living in the tallest building that is, and likely ever will be, built on the island.&nbsp;

Tier 1 construction firm <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/builders/icon">ICON</a> is fast approaching completion of the 41-level, 127-metre skyscraper, a height unrivalled on the island and now difficult to reproduce given the increased costs of both labour and materials in recent years.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=6515 project_image_fid=68832]

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/bensons-property-group">Bensons</a> enlisted international architecture firm <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/marchese-partners">Marchese Partners</a> to bring something new to the Gold Coast. “We started by looking at the nature and local context of the Gold Coast and knew immediately we wanted to create a sculptured object that maximised the well-positioned site and spectacular water views,” says Frank Ehrenberg, Principal at Marchese Partners.&nbsp;

“The result is equally inspired by the ripples of the ocean, sand, and dunes. This was further developed through material finishes reflecting the timeless shades of luxurious white and the warmth of sand.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=6515 project_image_fid=167320]

For the interiors of the 229 apartments, Ehrenberg says the focus was on creating an all-year-round lifestyle for residents. “We worked hard to ensure residents could move into the sunshine in winter and enjoy breezes in summer through oversized balconies. These spaces bring residents closer not only to the views, but also to the surrounding sights and sounds, creating a more immediate sense of being in this special address.”

This sensitivity to both location and lifestyle infuses every element of Chevron One, from the curve of its façade to the feel of timber underfoot. The interiors, anchored by kitchens curated by acclaimed chef Shannon Bennett, offer a balance of natural light and luxury finishes.

The tower’s height, positioning on the eastern side of the island, and floor-to-ceiling windows ensure most residences enjoy uninterrupted views of the Gold Coast skyline, the Nerang River, and the hinterland.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=6515 project_image_fid=68833]

Bensons knew that with a tower of this magnitude, the amenity offering had to match, and they’ve delivered with Club One, nearly 2,000 sqm of private resident facilities comprising private dining spaces, a curated wellness precinct with indoor and outdoor pools, and a gym surrounded by landscaped gardens for yoga.

A 24-hour concierge, more akin to a five-star hotel, will service the luxury lobby, which will feature a range of artworks from local and international artists, a staple in Benson’s new developments given Chairman Elias Jreissati’s long-standing support of the arts.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=6515 project_image_fid=68839]

Over the years, several premium apartments have achieved big-ticket sales, none more notable than the $9 million sale of a four-bedroom residence in the Daylight Sky Homes collection, sold to a Sydney family for $25,000 per square metre, a record for the Gold Coast at the time.

Chevron One sits just minutes from the Thomas Drive bridge, connecting residents to Surfers Paradise in under five minutes. Thomas Drive remains the beating heart of <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/chevron-island-qld-4217">Chevron Island</a>, lined with cafés and boutiques, while a new pedestrian bridge links directly to HOTA’s cultural precinct, complete with a rooftop bar, fine dining restaurant, and waterfront parklands that perfectly capture the island’s laid-back lifestyle.

Bensons is selling the final apartments in Chevron One, which is estimated to complete in early 2026.

Reaching new heights on Chevron Island

It’s been nearly two decades since Barry Morris’ then-burgeoning Canberra-based property development company, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/morris-property-group">Morris Property Group</a>, expanded into the Gold Coast apartment market, and there are no signs of them slowing down. Morris has developed a particular penchant for Broadbeach, having completed eight projects in the sought-after suburb since Verve on Old Burleigh Road in 2006.

Their most recent completion was around 12 months ago, when Morris’ in-house construction arm finished Malo Broadbeach, 16 half-floor apartments on Jubilee Avenue, neighbouring their earlier projects, Qube and Synergy.

One of their latest releases, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/maison-broadbeach-22-chelsea-avenue-broadbeach-qld-4218">Maison Broadbeach</a>, continues the developer’s focus on boutique, low-density living. Maison will comprise just 21 full-floor apartments on Chelsea Avenue, one of Broadbeach’s most in-demand streets given its position across from Broadbeach Park. Each three-bedroom residence spans more than 180 sqm and features open-plan living and dining areas that extend to private balconies with parkland and coastal views.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=113008 project_image_fid=318654]

Buyers can choose between two interior schemes, Lumière, a light coastal palette, or Noir, a richer, moodier aesthetic, both designed in collaboration with Poppy Designs. Premium finishes include Siemens and Bosch appliances, Vintec wine fridges, Villeroy &amp; Boch fittings, and herringbone flooring throughout the main living areas.

Residents will also have access to a suite of rooftop amenities on level 24, including a pool and deck, gym and sauna, residents’ lounge, and barbecue pavilion, all designed to take full advantage of elevated views over Broadbeach and the Surfers Paradise skyline.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=113008 project_image_fid=352171]

Morris has a proven track record of delivering both boutique and large-scale developments, reflected in their other major Broadbeach project currently under construction, Crest Broadbeach. One of the most popular Gold Coast apartment developments on Apartments.com.au since its launch, Crest will bring around 340 apartments to Armrick Avenue.

Much like Maison, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/crest-broadbeach-13-armrick-avenue-broadbeach-qld-4218">Crest</a> has drawn strong demand due to its prime location. The development is ideally positioned on the highly sought-after Armrick Avenue, a tightly held street that has seen surprisingly little apartment development despite Broadbeach’s ongoing boom. No developer has successfully delivered a high-rise on the street, until now.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112024 project_image_fid=343117]

Armrick Avenue offers two key advantages for both investors and owner-occupiers: its proximity to Broadbeach Park, one of the suburb’s most beloved green spaces, and its adjacency to local icons such as the Broadbeach Bowls Club, a community fixture since the 1950s, and the Broadbeach Surf Life Saving Club. Crest residents will enjoy protected, uninterrupted southern views thanks to the park’s government-owned land, which will never be built upon.

Beyond its location and natural outlook, Crest will offer residents an extensive range of on-site amenities, including a fully equipped gym, resort-style pool, and barbecue and alfresco entertaining areas. Around 80 per cent of the apartments in the first tower have already sold, prompting the recent release of the second tower.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112024 project_image_fid=343237]

Morris is delivering both towers simultaneously, with construction well underway, the tower crane is now installed on-site, and excavation is nearing completion on the fifth basement level. Both towers are scheduled for completion by mid-2027.

Morris Property continues to reshape Broadbeach skyline

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/northland">Northland Group</a> has marked a significant construction milestone at Central Quarter, officially topping out the 22-storey structure in the heart of Merrylands.

For the Sydney-based developer–builder, the moment represents more than structural progress, it signals the emergence of a new mixed-use residential, retail, and commercial precinct at one of Western Sydney’s most connected transport gateways.

Executive Director at Business Western Sydney, Mr David Borger attended and spoke at the ceremony, commending the team's desire to positively contribute to the suburb’s next chapter. “This is the perfect example of good quality housing,” Borger said, praising the development’s promise and highlighting its community benefit.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=5660 project_image_fid=1674]

CEO of Resilience Insurance, Corey Nugent, said that Central Quarter is one of only a handful of developments in&nbsp;<a data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/sydney-nsw&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1764118068771000&amp;usg=AOvVaw1umQGjZtW7fyDkwFKpekYZ" href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/sydney-nsw" id="m_3439471637559591274OWA6ec3f35d-5631-3998-289e-eeff041be45c" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/sydney-nsw">Sydney</a>’s west, and the only one in&nbsp;<a data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/merrylands-nsw-2160&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1764118068771000&amp;usg=AOvVaw04LK-WNjWmozinqnnaGled" href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/merrylands-nsw-2160" id="m_3439471637559591274OWA3ee924c8-5fa4-930f-ba76-784fa010f835" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/merrylands-nsw-2160">Merrylands</a>, to offer the sought-after 10-year Latent Defects Insurance policy, which covers significant structural and waterproofing defects.

A requirement of the policy is that a Technical Inspection Service (TIS) regularly attends the site during construction to ensure the building is being delivered to code. SDSS, which operates the TIS, says Central Quarter has consistently ranked within the top one per cent of more than 100 projects they monitor for build quality, a strong endorsement at this stage of delivery.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=5660 project_image_fid=1605]

Developed and constructed entirely by Northland Group, Central Quarter is on track for completion in early-to-mid 2026 and will deliver 194 one, two, and three-bedroom apartments atop a mixed-use retail and commercial podium.&nbsp;

The developer launched the project only after construction was well underway, a move intended to give buyers greater clarity and confidence around timelines and delivery.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=5660 project_image_fid=1616]

Inside, apartments feature engineered timber flooring, plush carpeting, zoned air conditioning, and Smeg appliances with Villeroy &amp; Boch tapware, alongside full-height bathroom tiling and stone benchtops.&nbsp;

Open-plan living areas connect to tiled balconies, maximising natural light and supporting indoor–outdoor living, key considerations for owner-occupiers and investors alike.

Central Quarter’s location remains one of its strongest drawcards. Positioned directly beside Merrylands Station and bus interchange, and across the road from Stockland Merrylands, residents will have frequent public transport, nearly 200 retailers, and diverse dining options at their doorstep.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=5660 project_image_fid=343732]

The podium levels of Central Quarter will also introduce a 24/7 gym, childcare centre, and additional retail amenity at ground level, further activating the precinct.

As construction moves into its final stages, the topping out of Central Quarter marks a clear signal of progress for both the developer and Merrylands’ evolving urban landscape.&nbsp;With structural works now complete, internal fit-outs and façade detailing will take centre stage as the project moves toward its 2026 completion.

Northland Group top outs Central Quarter, marking a major step in Merrylands’ regeneration

Online shopping has surged since the onset of COVID, and delivery services are continuing to invest heavily in new solutions to keep up with the growing demand. Australia Post, which delivered over 2.3 billion items nationwide during the 2023–2024 financial year, is continuing to evolve its services in the delivery space to accommodate the increase in online shopping.

One of the most recent developments is the expansion of its popular Parcel Locker system, which was first introduced in 2011 when it trialled 24 different sites. The network expanded significantly in 2012, with hundreds of 24-hour parcel lockers deployed across 250 locations nationwide. By 2024, the Parcel Locker network has grown to 773 sites and more than 59,000 individual compartments.

The next phase of the Parcel Locker expansion focuses on getting them into new apartment developments across the country, bringing the service as close to consumers’ front doors as possible. With online shopping continuing to surge, integrating these lockers into new apartment buildings provides substantial benefits for both residents and developers.

The delivery of 2.3 billion items demonstrates strong demand for online shopping given Australia was grappling with a cost of living crisis which saw mortgage rates reach 10-year highs. The peak Christmas season saw nearly 103 million parcels delivered across Australia alone. In 2024, Australians spent a record $69 billion online, marking a 12 per cent year-on-year increase.

Generational spending patterns in 2024 revealed significant, and sometimes surprising, shifts. Millennials (27–43 years) led eCommerce spending with nearly $25 billion, accounting for 36 per cent of total online spend. Baby Boomers (60–78 years) embraced eCommerce more than ever before, spending 17.6 per cent more online in 2024 than in 2023. Given that the majority of new developments nationwide are currently geared toward downsizers, primarily Baby Boomers, there is a strong opportunity to enhance the value of a new project by strategically incorporating a Parcel Locker within the building. Gen X (ages 44–59) saw only a one per cent increase in online spending, while Gen Z (18–26-year-olds) spent 11 per cent less than the year prior.

Australia Post Parcel Lockers are automated, secure units that allow individuals to collect, send, or return parcels at their convenience. Parcel Lockers provide a contactless solution for parcel delivery and retrieval. When a parcel is delivered to a Parcel Locker, the recipient is notified via the Australia Post app or SMS and can access their designated locker using a one-time PIN. These lockers can accommodate parcels up to 16 kg and 35 x 44 x 61 cm in size, ensuring convenience and security.

Parcel Lockers can be installed across a number of locations within apartment buildings. The lobby or mail room are the most ideal spots for both developers and residents as they are central, have high foot traffic, and are easily accessible. For buildings without mail rooms or smaller lobbies, placing the lockers in basement-level parking areas may be an option. Alternatively, lockers could be installed outside the building, making them accessible not only to residents but also to the wider public.

For residents who have Parcel Lockers installed within their apartment complex, the main benefits include convenient 24/7 parcel access and eliminating the need to be home during delivery hours. Parcel Lockers also offer the most secure way of delivering and storing parcels, reducing the risk of theft. In addition to parcel collection, these lockers can also facilitate returns, with Australia Post handling both deliveries and returns.

For developers, integrating Parcel Lockers brings a tech-forward solution, in a world where new apartment buyers expect the latest in technology. With Australia Post covering installation and maintenance, Parcel Lockers bring a unique value proposition to a building with little cost.

Australia Post Head of Product &amp; Head of Out of Home Rushika Kumar says what the company has in common with a new apartment developer is that they too want to focus on the end user, which is ultimately the resident/buyer. “Our goals are aligned with those of residential developers — we both want to create spaces that are livable, future-ready, and resident-focused. Parcel Lockers are a simple yet powerful way to elevate the experience of apartment living. We want to enhance the everyday lives of Australians,” Rushika added. “By integrating Parcel Lockers into new apartment buildings, we’re not just delivering parcels, we’re delivering convenience, security, and peace of mind right to people’s homes.”

Rushika says recent surveys with AusPost users point to a desire to use Parcel Lockers more frequently. “One in four Gen Zs and Millennials say they’ll use Out of Home (OOH Collection) points, like parcel lockers, more often in 2025, should they be well located and within close proximity,” Rushika says. “One in three Gen Zs always have their parcels delivered to a collection point, while six in 10 millennials choose a collection point when they know they won’t be home. There’s a preference towards Parcel Lockers, and we are investing significantly in bringing them to every Australian. Whether you’re a busy millennial, a downsizing baby boomer, or someone who simply values flexibility, Parcel Lockers offer a secure and accessible solution that meets people where they are, literally at their doorstep.”

Australia Post to bring Parcel Lockers into new apartment buildings as eCommerce growth booms

Growing developer <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/prosper-living">Prosper</a> is continuing to expand its apartment pipeline, lodging plans for what would be one of Drummoyne’s largest residential projects in recent years.

The group, already active in Crows Nest with future projects planned in the North Shore, has proposed <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/55-61-st-georges-crescent-drummoyne-nsw-2047">55 apartments</a> on an amalgamated 2,496 sqm site at the corner of St Georges Crescent and Queen Victoria Street.

Designed by Plus Studio, the eight-storey building would replace five existing homes and deliver 10 affordable apartments, enabling a height uplift under the NSW Government’s affordable housing initiative.

The $53 million proposal also features three levels of basement parking and communal open space at ground level, with the design taking advantage of the site’s natural slope towards Iron Cove to maximise privacy and capture harbour views.

<img alt="First look: Prosper proposes harbourside apartments with affordable housing in Drummoyne" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="b878ade3-f7d1-4514-9c15-b9b3057fbf74" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/1763514678039.jpg?VersionId=2Dm7.mvg6srNQVT0K5bKLI6JUeOxclbP" />

Plus Studio's response draws on local precedents, including SJB’s Isles and Bianca, adopting a vertical massing strategy that reflects the original subdivision pattern.&nbsp;

“The tower elements are also angled to capture water views, enhancing residential amenity while reducing visual bulk when viewed from the street,” the Plus noted in their submission.

Façade concepts take cues from Drummoyne’s waterfront identity, referencing sailing history and industrial heritage through curved forms, vertical mast-like expressions, and a palette of copper-toned pre-finished panels and light brickwork. The recessed top level offers penthouse apartments with expansive terraces and contributes to a reduced visual scale when viewed from public vantage points.

<img alt="First look: Prosper proposes harbourside apartments with affordable housing in Drummoyne" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="b576fd98-c63f-47ab-be22-32b807926550" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/1763514678748.jpg?VersionId=unc4m5OBy8MbcM9uGLVALhFJ64CO9W3s" />

Prosper’s Development Director, Dean LaVigne, said the project is designed in full alignment with the Low and Mid-Rise Housing Policy, which champions sustainable growth and housing diversity.

"Without compromising on quality or design excellence the development will create housing opportunities for many essential workers in the area,"&nbsp;LaVigne says.

"The design prioritises generous floor plans, landscaped communal spaces, and premium finishes to ensure residents enjoy both privacy and connection."

Prosper was founded by Colin Rahim, owner of the well-regarded construction firm Growthbuilt. The company is currently selling&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/kora-crows-nest-127-129-willoughby-road-crows-nest-nsw-2065">Kora in Crows Nest</a>, a boutique collection of just 10 residences, which Growthbuilt is also delivering. Prosper has additional projects in the pipeline, including apartments on Cowan Road in St Ives and a new 40-storey, 270-unit tower planned for the Pacific Highway in Crows Nest. They recently completed Splendour, 25 luxury apartments in Bellevue Hill.

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/collingwood-vic-3066">Collingwood</a> has long held a special place in Milieu’s portfolio, its creative energy and layered history providing fertile ground for the developer’s design-led, urban-focused approach.

From earlier projects on Bedford and Peel Streets to the award-winning Napier Street developments just across the Fitzroy border, the suburb continues to shape Milieu’s architectural contributions to Melbourne’s inner north.

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/derby-street-by-milieu-collingwood-4-derby-street-collingwood-vic-3066">Derby Street by Milieu</a> builds on this legacy with a limited collection of just 22 residences designed in collaboration with acclaimed local architects Studio Bright.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=145576 project_image_fid=355943]

Positioned just off the cultural thoroughfares of Gertrude and Smith Streets and the more serene character of East Melbourne’s heritage avenues, the project draws on its surroundings to craft homes that offer both connection and retreat.

As Studio Bright’s first multi-residential commission in Melbourne, Derby Street is defined by its textured materiality and finely detailed design language.&nbsp;

The building’s brick and tile facade references Collingwood’s industrial past, while landscaping softens the edges and introduces a rhythm of greenery that continues through to private balconies.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=145576 project_image_fid=355985]

Inside, the apartments reflect a level of spatial generosity and design craft more commonly associated with stand-alone homes. Layouts have been shaped with liveability front of mind, offering two and three-bedroom configurations that feature double glazing, smart home security systems, and fossil fuel–free all-electric appliances.&nbsp;

Each residence integrates honest materials and enduring finishes, with a consistent focus on long-term comfort and energy efficiency - underscored by an average 7.5-star NatHERS rating.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=145576 project_image_fid=355944]

The development also aligns with Milieu’s broader commitment to creating medium-density housing that responds to place while accommodating a diverse range of residents.&nbsp;

With pricing starting from $1.25 million, Derby Street is tailored for owner-occupiers seeking high-quality design in a walkable, amenity-rich neighbourhood.

Milieu deepens Collingwood connection with new Derby Street homes

It’s only been a few months since local Gold Coast developer <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/dankav-developments">Dankav</a> unveiled its next precinct-driven project, and less than a month since formally launching <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/the-alfred-mermaid-beach-2375-gold-coast-highway-mermaid-beach-qld-4218">The Alfred Residences</a>, a reimagining of the former Mermaid Beach Shopping Village.

In just the first three weeks, 30 of the 40 residences in stage one have been secured, predominantly by local buyers already living within the coveted 4218 postcode, underscoring the demand for a well-connected, beachside lifestyle.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=149942 project_image_fid=355148]

The origins of the shopping village, a community staple for several decades, will continue under DANKAV’s precinct-driven scheme. The apartments in the first stage will sit above a curated collection of restaurants, cafés and boutique retailers.

A central landscaped laneway defines the ground plane, framed by a series of low-scale buildings that open into shaded courtyards and plazas designed by <a href="http://j.ar">J.AR</a> Office. The residences above were designed by BDA Architecture and feature generous balconies, modern interiors and elevated views across the ocean, skyline or hinterland. The interiors are curated with layered detail and coastal-appropriate finishes, with layouts focused on privacy, natural light and ventilation.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=149942 project_image_fid=355150]

It was the site’s prime location that first appealed to DANKAV founder Daniel Veitch. The development sits directly across the road from the future Mermaid Beach South light rail station, giving residents convenient public transport access to the rest of the Coast.

While DANKAV is delivering extensive amenity as part of the retail plaza, the area is already well serviced, with a Woolworths Metro, established cafés and restaurants, and the all-important sand of Mermaid Beach just 100 metres from the front door.

Developer Tian An LFD has been given the green light from the NSW Government's Housing Delivery Authority to go ahead with its new Chatswood apartment development, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/hammond-greens-chatswood-5-9-gordon-avenue-chatswood-nsw-2067">Hammond Greens</a>.

The 35-storey mixed-use tower at 5-9 Gordon Avenue, on the edge of the Chatswood Bowls Club, will comprise 91 apartments, 22 of which will be affordable homes managed by Link Wentworth. They will sit above a two-level podium with retail and commercial space.

The plans were upsized from the early 25-storey scheme which proposed 64 apartments, following the Government's new planning provisions under the Housing SEPP that gave developers the opportunity to increase heights and floor place in exchange for an affordable housing component.

&nbsp;

The design by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/fjc-studio">FJC Studio</a>&nbsp;builds on the concept first presented when the firm won the site’s design competition, describing Hammond Greens as “a unique form of vertical living that belongs on the North Shore - drawing on the vernacular and materiality of suburban living, and integrating native landscaping between the narrow tower forms”.

At ground level, 1,500 sqm of retail and commercial space will activate the podium, supporting a hybrid work environment and creating a stronger connection with the local community. Residents will also have access to an outdoor pool deck, yoga room, golf simulator, and landscaped gardens designed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/landscape-architect/sturt-noble-landscapes">Sturt Noble Associates</a>.

&nbsp;

Located less than 500 metres from Chatswood Transport Interchange, the project contributes to the suburb’s growing pipeline of high-density development. It joins the likes of Changfa's recently launched The Anderson and Billbergia's Chatswood Grand Residences.

Hammond Greens is the first of two towers Tian is planning in Chatswood. They have a sister project, dubbed Hammond Place, just one street away at 15-19 Nelson Street. That will have around 110 apartments.

The sought-after Latent Defects Insurance policy, offering off the plan apartment buyers peace of mind for 10 years post-completion, has made its way to Sydney’s harbourside. Boutique developer <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/toohey-miller">Toohey Miller</a> has secured this insurance for its newly launched Elizabeth Bay development, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/barncleuth-square-elizabeth-bay-4-4a-barncleuth-square-elizabeth-bay-nsw-2011">Barncleuth</a>. This marks the developer’s second project in the area, following the success of No. 1 Onslow Place.

Latent Defects Insurance, offered by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/news/resilience-latent-defects-insurance">Resilience Insurance</a>, provides cover for structural or waterproofing defects in new apartment buildings. It is a policy that only the developer or builder can take out, not the apartment purchaser.

Located just&nbsp;off Macleay Street, one of Sydney’s most desirable high streets, Barncleuth offers a rare collection of only 10 residences. With just two per floor, each oversized floorplan has been designed by SJB specifically for the owner-occupier.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=140184 project_image_fid=356342]

The five-storey building captures views over Rushcutters Bay and Paddington, blending contemporary brickwork with the expressive silhouettes of its Art Deco neighbours.

Inside, the residences, designed by David Hicks, prioritise generous scale and enduring quality, with a mix of two- and three-bedroom layouts. Expansive terraces and cross-ventilated interiors maximise light and airflow, while sustainable features such as a green roof and locally sourced materials reflect SJB’s commitment to long-term liveability.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=140184 project_image_fid=356341]

Developer Toohey Miller, led by Nick Couloumbis, says the design aims to bring lasting quality to an area long celebrated for its apartment heritage.

"It's a stone's throw from the best restaurants in Sydney. Some people call it the Soho of Sydney," Couloumbis told Apartments.com.au when the project was approved.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=140184 project_image_fid=356337]

By securing <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/news/resilience-latent-defects-insurance">Resilience Latent Defects Insurance</a>, Barncleuth joins a growing group of premium Sydney projects adopting the gold standard in building protection.&nbsp;

The cover, provided before construction begins, ensures any hidden structural or waterproofing defects are repaired immediately, without lengthy litigation or fault disputes.

Resilience Insurance CEO Corey Nugent said the product has been a catalyst for renewed confidence in the off the plan market.&nbsp;

“Ultimately what we’re trying to do is build better buildings consumers can trust. When buyers take possession, they have full insurance protection from day one, for 10 years,” Nugent explained.

Unlike traditional policies such as strata or construction insurance, Resilience LDI is a first-resort, strict liability policy, meaning repairs are covered immediately without needing to prove negligence. Coverage extends to foundations, load-bearing walls, and waterproofing, the elements most critical to long-term structural integrity.

Regarded construction firm Jasara has been appointed to deliver Barncleuth. They are forecasting an early 2027 completion.

A shift away from Sydney’s industrial past has left parts of the inner south defined by contrast, brick warehouses repurposed into dining precincts, former factory streets softened by landscaping and pedestrian activity.

Rosebery is one of those suburbs. Over the past decade, it has undergone significant gentrification, anchored by The Cannery, which has helped reposition the area as one of the inner city’s most sought-after lifestyle pockets.

What hasn’t kept pace with that transformation is new residential supply, which has remained relatively limited. Builder-developer Deicorp identified that gap early, securing a site in 2019 and delivering what is now one of the suburb’s most architecturally distinctive developments.

To realise the vision, Deicorp engaged Candalepas Associates to design The Rothschild, a project that is immediately recognisable from the street.

Completed in 2025, The Rothschild comprises two buildings across Rothschild and Mentmore Avenues, delivering 176 apartments. The development replaces a former industrial site, retaining a material and structural dialogue with its past while introducing a more resolved residential framework. The scale is deliberate but not monolithic, broken into forms that engage both street frontages, with retail at ground level and two levels of basement parking below.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=106843 project_image_fid=221665]

From the street, the architectural intent is clear. Off-form concrete columns run through the façade, establishing a repeated structural rhythm that gives the building its visual weight. These are paired with deep-set arches and sections of exposed brickwork, creating a layered elevation that reads less like a typical apartment block and more like a reinterpretation of industrial architecture.

The material palette is intentionally restrained, with concrete left exposed and brick used to define mass rather than decoration. The result is a building that stands out through proportion and repetition, rather than height or glazing.

This approach continues internally. A central landscaped courtyard sits between the two buildings, anchored by an olive grove that acts as both a visual and spatial focal point. Rather than functioning as residual space, the courtyard is designed as a shared ground plane, where circulation paths, seating areas and planting come together to create a usable communal environment. Its positioning allows natural light to penetrate deep into the site while maintaining separation between residences.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=106843 project_image_fid=221666]

Within the apartments, the planning follows a clear and functional logic. Entry points lead directly into open-plan living areas, with kitchens positioned as central elements alongside dining and lounge spaces. These zones extend to balconies or external openings, maintaining a visual connection to either the courtyard or the street.

Kitchens prioritise practicality, with generous bench space, ample storage and European appliances configured for everyday use. Bedrooms are typically set back from the main living areas, creating quieter zones within each residence, with separation achieved through layout rather than material change. Bathrooms are compact but efficient, incorporating mirrored cabinetry and integrated storage to maximise space. Across all residences, the emphasis is on clarity of movement and functional planning.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=106843 project_image_fid=221669]

At ground level, retail and hospitality uses extend the building’s presence beyond its residential function. A café or restaurant space, alongside communal amenities such as a music room and rooftop areas, positions the development as part of a broader urban network rather than a standalone project. These shared spaces reinforce a lifestyle where the building operates as an extension of the surrounding neighbourhood.

Rosebery’s proximity to Green Square, The Cannery and nearby parklands supports this model of living, where much of daily life is within walking distance. The Rothschild sits comfortably within that network, contributing to the streetscape through its distinctive architecture, while internally organising space around light, structure and communal use.

The Rothschild is now complete and ready to move in, with limited residences remaining.

KTQ has unveiled&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/casilia-16-marine-parade-coolangatta-qld-4225">Casilia</a>, the final residential release within the Kirra Point precinct which really kicked off the boom in the area back in 2019.

The final stage comprises&nbsp;87 residences and marks the culmination of a long-term, family-led vision for Kirra Point, as the precinct moves toward completion in tandem with the development.

Around $100 million in sales have been achieved already, close to 35 per cent of the residences secured ahead of launch. There have been a significant number of buyers returning from the first stage of the development, Miles Residences, securing another property within Kirra Point.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=152295 project_image_fid=368410]

Selling agent Tim Keenan from Keenan Byrne said the response reflects both the scarcity of the offering and Kirra’s growing reputation as a premium coastal market.

“This is effectively Kirra’s final act, the last release within what has become one of the Southern Gold Coast’s most tightly held beachfront precincts,” Keenan said.

“We’ve seen exceptionally strong pre-sale interest, from VIP waitlists through to off-market enquiry, which speaks to both the quality of the product and the confidence buyers have in the precinct. What’s particularly compelling is the number of buyers returning from Miles, either upgrading or investing again, which is a strong signal of how the precinct has been received."

Keenan adds that at the same time, north-facing beachfront remains exceptionally rare in Australia, limited to places like Noosa, Byron and Kirra, which is underpinning long-term value.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=152295 project_image_fid=368415]

Positioned along one of Australia’s few true north-facing beaches, Casilia offers a mix of two and three-bedroom residences with pricing ranging from $1.87 million to $7.15 million and two exclusive penthouses. Residences are oriented to capture varying outlooks, from uninterrupted Pacific Ocean views across Kirra Beach to hinterland vistas, with upper levels and shared amenity taking in sweeping perspectives along the Gold Coast coastline.

At rooftop level, a north-facing pool deck captures expansive, uninterrupted views over Kirra Beach and north towards Surface Paradise. The space incorporates a heated resort-style pool, mineral spa, sun lounges and a covered BBQ cantina.

Buyer profiles are broad, typically aged between 40 and 70, with a strong skew toward second-home ownership, drawn by a combination of lifestyle, relative value, proximity to Gold Coast Airport and lower congestion compared to more established markets such as Byron Bay and Noosa.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=152295 project_image_fid=368414]

The project is being delivered by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/ktq-group">KTQ Group</a>, a family-owned Australian property group with a diverse portfolio spanning residential, hospitality and commercial developments. The group has delivered a number of notable projects across sectors, including the award-winning Elements of Byron resort, demonstrating its depth of experience across both hospitality and residential development.

Known for its long-term approach to place-making, KTQ Group retains a vested interest in its projects, often holding assets within its portfolio, which has also helped build trust among buyers and reinforced confidence in both the vision and delivery certainty of the precinct.

“Casilia represents the final opportunity to secure a residence within Kirra Point and brings to market the last release within our long-term vision for the precinct," KTQ Group's Jeremy Holmes said.

"Kirra Point has been more than a decade in the making, and that timeframe reflects the care behind each decision, it takes listening, balance and vision to arrive at something that feels right for the location.

“Our approach has always been to deliver Kirra Point as a destination in its own right, a connected coastal neighbourhood integrating residential, hospitality and wellness, rather than a standalone project. It’s a vision that respects place, pace and permanence, and contributes to a sense of community that feels authentic to Kirra.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=152295 project_image_fid=368411]

Once complete, the Kirra Point masterplan will incorporate a mix of dining establishments, bars and cafés, alongside the Kirra Point Health Club and a future 91-room independent resort hotel, creating a walkable, integrated lifestyle precinct.

Architecutue and interiors at Casilia have been designed by the experienced design houses of <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/little-boat-projects">Little Boat Projects</a> and O’Neil Architecture &amp; Interior Design, The design moves beyond the conventional coastal apartments, instead taking cues &nbsp;from the surrounding landscape - layering natural materials, soft curves and warm textures to create spaces that respond to light, airflow and the rhythms of coastal living.

Residences are designed with an array of floorplates, generous proportions and intuitive flow, while at ground level Casilia connects into the broader precinct, where future laneways, retail and hospitality offerings will contribute to a neighbourhood defined as much by how people live day-to-day as its beachfront position.

South East Queensland developer&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/gardner-vaughan-group">Gardner Vaughan Group</a>’s entry into the Gold Coast apartment market has progressed from pipeline to market, with its Chevron Island project Bronze on Chevron now formally available to purchase ahead of a planned 2029 completion.

The 119-apartment development on Mawarra Street marks the Brisbane-headquartered builder-developer’s first residential play in the Gold Coast, following its expansion south from Brisbane and the Sunshine Coast.

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/bronze-on-chevron-8-mawarra-street-surfers-paradise-qld-4217">Bronze on Chevron</a> comprises a mix of two-, three- and four-bedroom residences, with pricing starting from just over $1.5 million. The project is being delivered under Gardner Vaughan’s fully integrated model, with the group acting as both developer and builder, a structure it has consistently applied across its South East Queensland portfolio.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=107520 project_image_fid=367182]

Architecture has been designed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/cottee-parker-architects">Cottee Parker</a>, with landscape architecture by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/landscape-architect/jeremy-ferrier-landscape-design">Jeremy Ferrier</a>. The building presents as a single-tower scheme, with a focus on maximising outlook across both the Surfers Paradise skyline and the Nerang River.

Apartments have been planned with open-plan living zones extending to generous balconies, a response to the site’s dual-aspect positioning between river and ocean. Interiors follow a restrained coastal palette, with two colour schemes offered, and an emphasis on natural light and cross-ventilation.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=107520 project_image_fid=367181]

Resident amenity is concentrated across more than 1,250 sqm and includes a resort-style pool, gym, yoga lawn and rooftop entertaining areas. A function space with catering facilities forms part of the upper-level offering, alongside north- and south-facing outdoor areas.

Ground level will incorporate two retail tenancies, intended to extend the existing village character of the surrounding streets.

&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=107520 project_image_fid=367200]

The project sits within walking distance of Thomas Drive’s established dining strip, while maintaining proximity to <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/surfers-paradise-qld-4217">Surfers Paradise</a> beach and broader Gold Coast amenity. The location, positioned on Chevron Island between the river and coastline, has increasingly attracted mid- to high-density development in recent years as the precinct evolves beyond its low-rise origins.

Gardner Vaughan’s move into the Gold Coast was first signalled in 2025, with the group identifying the region as a natural extension of its operations. Chief Executive Officer Simon Betteridge described the expansion as both “strategic and natural”, citing demand for well-designed apartments in lifestyle-driven markets.

Construction is expected to complete in early 2029.

Ellipse sets Castle Hill apartment record with $5.75 million Lily Lane penthouse sale

Fresh off completing its Delano Crows Nest development, Lindsay Bennelong has lodged plans for its next project, this time turning its attention back to the beach.

The developer, started 20 years ago by Clarendon Homes founder Peter Campbell, is proposing a 37-apartment scheme at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/17-25-ashburner-street-manly-nsw-2095">17-25 Ashburner Street</a>, Manly, positioned between the southern end of <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/manly-nsw-2095">Manly</a> Beach and East Manly Cove.

Lindsay Bennelong called on local architecture firm Platform Architects to design the new building, given their success at Finn, Lindsay Bennelong's current luxury apartment project on North Steyne.&nbsp;

According to the Design Verification Statement by Bridie Gough of Platform Architects, the proposal “relates to the current context but also the desired future character of taller buildings suitable to the new planning controls.”

The site has been identified as a Low to Mid-Rise Housing (LMR) location, given its position within 400 metres of the Manly Town Centre E1 Business Zone. The LMR controls are intended to unlock additional housing supply in well-located areas close to public transport, allowing developers to seek increased height limits to support greater density.

“The proposal seeks to provide this increased level of housing whilst being respectful of some of the smaller scale buildings also nearby,” the statement reads.

Lindsay Bennelong Development Director Leigh Manser said the project has been carefully aligned with the intent of the LMR controls. The proposal will significantly increase housing yield on the site, replacing four houses and 10 apartments, comprising 25 bedrooms, with 37 new apartments delivering a total of 94 bedrooms, whilst remaining compliant with the LMR controls.

“Sydney is in a severe undersupply, and delivering more dwellings and more bedrooms than what currently exists is exactly what the LMR policy is designed to activate,” Manser said, noting that nine of the apartments will be allocated as affordable housing for frontline workers.

“We have already commenced discussions with our community housing provider to determine the rental levels that frontline workers can realistically afford in this location,” he said. “These will need to sit well below the standard affordable housing benchmark of 20 per cent below market rent, and that has been factored into our feasibility and pricing.”

<img alt="Manly" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="ad03000f-19f9-48b4-b27d-e85ca800a1da" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-04-30%20at%208.41.59%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=a.txHwCZgbCInlQ6QXbIrI.umvW1T.r8" />

The design of the building incorporates a wave-like indentation running through the façade, referencing the nearby coastline and anchoring the building within its local context.

The&nbsp;Design Verification Statement says careful consideration has been given to the articulation of the building, ensuring the bulk is broken down to a more human scale through a defined four-storey podium."

The scheme includes a mix of one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments, as well as a full-time building manager's office and wellness facilities including a sauna and a gym.

“The design ensures a high level of amenity, with apartments offering generous private open space, many with expansive views, and all with comfortable proportions."

The developer also has a development site in Maroubra.
