Development information for Drift Residences
Drift is now complete and settled, standing as a landmark 31-level residential address on its unique north-facing site. Positioned within an easy stroll of the Tedder Avenue dining and shopping precinct and the soft sands of Main Beach, the building captures exceptional view lines stretching from Surfers Paradise to The Spit, across The Broadwater and out to the Pacific Ocean.
Residents at Drift now enjoy a standard of living more commonly associated with high-end private homes. Finishes and fixtures that would typically be considered upgrades in other developments were included as standard throughout, reflecting the project's commitment to quality in every detail.
The Residence Collection features 262m² half-floor residences spanning Levels 3 to 24. The Penthouse Collection offers whole-floor 532m² residences across Levels 25 to 29. Crowned by the Penthouse, Level 30 plus rooftop terrace delivers an extraordinary 1,031m² of lavish living.
An entire level is dedicated to resident wellbeing and recreation, offering exclusive access to a heated pool and magnesium spas, a cold therapy pool, sauna and steam room. Residents also benefit from a fully equipped gymnasium, yoga centre and massage rooms, along with an outdoor barbecue area and lounge with fireplace, ideal for entertaining family and friends.

Main Beach, QLD 4217
Main Beach maintains strong capital resilience driven by affluent downsizers, high owner-occupier ratios, and limited supply along the coastal strip. The precinct is supported by direct G:link light rail access, high-frequency bus corridors, and walkable retail along Tedder Avenue.
Infrastructure updates
Main Beach is integrated into the City of Gold Coast Local Growth Management Strategy and the Queensland Government's $127m The Spit Master Plan, unlocking foreshore upgrades, shared cycleways, and protected height zoning under the City Plan.
