Ocean Rise Kings Beach - 48 King Street, Kings Beach

<p>The Sunshine Coast is currently undergoing something of a development boom.</p>

<p>Unlike its southern counterparts—Brisbane and particularly the Gold Coast—the region has largely avoided the wave of new housing supply, despite experiencing a surge in net internal migration.</p>

<p>According to the Regional Australia Institute, the Sunshine Coast’s share of net internal migration rose to 17.5 per cent in December 2023—the highest level since the metric was first recorded. This was driven by a 33.3 per cent increase from the previous quarter, largely fuelled by migration from capital cities.</p>

<p>While population growth in the region has surged well above the national average, new housing supply hasn’t kept pace.</p>

<p>Several developers—particularly those based in Brisbane—have now identified key areas of the Sunshine Coast as strong performers for future growth. As a result, they're broadening their focus beyond the capital, bringing rare opportunities to buy brand-new apartments—something the region hasn’t seen at scale for decades.</p>

<p>In this article, we’ve highlighted the top four new apartment developments currently selling in 2025.</p>

<h2>What: Bask</h2>

<h3>Where: Bokarina</h3>

<h3>Who: Gardner Vaughan Group</h3>

<p>Builder-developer Gardner Vaughan Group is one of the most active developers on the Sunshine Coast. With its HQ in Brisbane, GVG branched out to the Sunshine Coast in 2021 when they launched Zinc Bokarina.</p>

<p>They recently completed the sell-out project, and are now delivering <a href="/new-apartments/bask-bokarina-38-bokarina-boulevard-bokarina-qld-4575">Bask Bokarina</a>, just a few doors down on Bokarina Boulevard, a short walk to the Bokarina Beach sand.</p>

<p>[smartcode_project:default project_id=141609 project_image_fid=333361]</p>

<p>Bask comprises two oceanfront towers, Mydas and Caretta, with a total of 135 architecturally designed apartments. Each offers coastal-inspired interiors, large balconies, and indoor-outdoor living.</p>

<p>Amenities include a heated pool, gym, parcel lockers, dog wash, function rooms, and over 1,000 sqm of retail space. Bask’s unbeatable location opposite Bokarina Beach Park, combined with sweeping ocean and mountain views, makes it a clear 2025 standout.</p>

<p>[smartcode_project:default project_id=141609 project_image_fid=333365]</p>

<p>GVG recently sold one of the penthouses at Bask <a href="/news/qld/exclusive-gardner-vaughan-smashes-bokarina-price-record-with-bask-penthouse-sale">for a suburb-record .5 million</a>.</p>

<h2>What: Sunset Caloundra</h2>

<h3>Where: 5-7 Bombala Terrace, Caloundra</h3>

<h3>Who: Dusk Group</h3>

<p>The newest development to the Sunshine Coast market in 2025 is from another Brisbane developer.</p>

<p>Dusk Group recently launched&nbsp;<a href="/new-apartments/sunset-by-dusk-group-caloundra-5-7-bombala-terrace-caloundra-qld-4551">Sunset Caloundra</a>, just 36 apartments starting from $650,000 in the heart of <a href="/developments/caloundra-qld-4551">Caloundra</a>.</p>

<p>[smartcode_project:default project_id=148795 project_image_fid=346466]</p>

<p>Designed by&nbsp;<a href="/architects/mas-architecture-studio">MAS Architecture Studio</a>, Sunset will also feature&nbsp;a resident swimming pool, BBQ pavilion, lounge, and communal green space. It will be a short walk from Kings Beach and Caloundra's cafes.</p>

<p>[smartcode_project:default project_id=148795 project_image_fid=346469]</p>

<p>Having already secured several sales to a mix of owner-occupiers and lifestyle investors, Dusk Group will commence construction in the coming months</p>

<h2>What: St Clair</h2>

<h3>Where: Birtinya</h3>

<h3>Who: Habitat Development Group</h3>

<p>Another burgeoning Sunshine Coast developer, Habitat Development Group, is delivering several projects both in small coastal towns as well as the Maroochydore CBD.</p>

<p>They're half way through construction of <a href="/new-apartments/st-clair-birtinya-930-931-waterside-retreat-birtinya">St Clair</a>, 200 apartments across two eight-level buildings in <a href="/developments/birtinya-qld-4575">Birtinya</a>. There are one, two, three and four-bedroom apartments on offer.</p>

<p>[smartcode_project:default project_id=108399 project_image_fid=230359]</p>

<p>The $150 million development is one of the most amenity rich in the area, with a rooftop terrace, 25-metre lap pool, wading pool, private dining room, and over 1,000 sqm of private parklands with BBQ and firepit zones.</p>

<p>St Clair residents will also benefit from direct esplanade access to Lake Kawana and proximity to the Stockland Shopping Centre and Bokarina Beach.&nbsp;</p>

<p>[smartcode_project:default project_id=108399 project_image_fid=230354]</p>

<p>Completion of St Clair is expected in Q1 2026.</p>

<h2>What: Ocean Rise</h2>

<h3>Where: Kings Beach</h3>

<h3>Who: D.C.O Developments</h3>

<p>The small suburb of <a href="/developments/kings-beach-qld-4551">Kings Beach</a>, on the edge of Caloundra, rarely sees new apartment development.&nbsp;</p>

<p><a href="/new-apartments/ocean-rise-kings-beach-48-king-street-kings-beach">Ocean Rise</a> is the only new building currently on the market and under construction in the coastal suburb. It will have just 14 three-bedroom apartments, starting from $1.55 million.</p>

<p>[smartcode_project:default project_id=112638 project_image_fid=195931]</p>

<p>The apartments offer generous living spaces, kitchens with stone benchtops, and expansive balconies designed to maximise the ocean outlook. Outdoor features include a pool and curated lounge areas.</p>
