First Look: Chippendale plots new Palm Beach apartment development after completing EVA Tenth Avenue
There’s no sign of Palm Beach’s development boom slowing down.
Local developer Chippendale Group — which welcomed buyers to its Eva on Tenth project late last year — is now moving ahead with its next venture, Elise.
Similar in scale to Eva, Elise will deliver 47 two-bedroom apartments, several with multipurpose rooms and dedicated study spaces. The project occupies a 1,230 sqm site at 1425–1427 Gold Coast Highway, with dual frontage to Twenty Fifth Avenue. It is on the prized eastern side of the Gold Coast Highway, 55m to the sand.
Chippendale Group, led by fifth-generation family member and local businessman Daniel Chippendale, appointed BDA again to design Elise.
They noted in their submission to the Gold Coast City Council that the design "prioritises visual permeability and climatic performance to create a liveable residential outcome in a prominent beachfront location”.
The nine-level building will also home two swimming pools on the ground level, a gym with a sauna, and a resident lounge with dining space, kitchen, and barbecue area.
Palm Beach is going through another wave of development. The quiet suburb became one of the most in demand suburbs in the country in 2020 and 2021 during the onset of COVID-19, with both developers and buyers scrambling to get into the market.
Those developments have since been delivered and settled - and now there's a new wave of projects coming through.
Sherpa has two projects, Amargo, and Flourish Ovana, across the road from each other on Sixth Avenue, while
On the eastern side of the Gold Coast Highway, DJ Fisher and wife Chloe launched Pescado, to much fanfare. Gordon Corp is also soon to release its newest development, Elle on Jefferson. BPG Developments is also planning a new project on Jefferson Lane.
