Development information for Drift Residences

Drift is now complete as at May 2026, 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.

Broadbeach-based Plus Architecture was engaged to deliver a timeless design with a strong focus on natural materials and resort-style amenities that meet the real needs of residents. A comprehensive design phase has delivered a level of detail that remains unsurpassed in the competitive Main Beach luxury apartment market.

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, infrared 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.
