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.

A decade in the making: KTQ launches Casilia at Kirra Point

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."

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/lindsay-bennelong-developments">Lindsay Bennelong</a>&nbsp;is currently developing Finn Manly, just four full-floor luxury apartments on North Steyne. They recently welcomed residents to its 81-unit Delano Crows Nest development, a&nbsp;carefully scaled infill project designed to bridge&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/crows-nest-nsw-2065">Crows Nest</a>’s lively village centre with its surrounding heritage streets.

Designed by&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/ajc-architects">AJC Architects</a>,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/delano-crows-nest-27-57-falcon-street-crows-nest-nsw-2065">Delano</a>&nbsp;is arranged across three low-rise buildings, incorporating a mix of one, two, and three-bedroom apartments alongside a limited number of townhomes addressing Hayberry Lane. The architectural approach drew on the area’s Art Deco lineage, reinterpreted through contemporary detailing and framed by landscaped communal gardens.

The developer also has a development site in Maroubra.

First look: Lindsay Bennelong's new Manly apartment development revealed

Fifty-nine residences across 37 levels. No more than two per floor. With 80 per cent now sold, what remains at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/madeline-by-mosaic-broadbeach-22-mary-avenue-broadbeach-qld-4218">Madeline by Mosaic</a> is a short list.

Madeline was always conceived at a scale that sits outside the normal register of Gold Coast apartment living. The residences are half- and full-floor configurations, with the largest spanning more than 400 sqm, dimensions that place them closer to the penthouse end of the market regardless of where they sit in the building.

That scale is the organising principle of everything else: how the floorplans are laid out, how the materials read, how the connection between inside and outside works.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=150135 project_image_fid=355941]

The interiors were developed in collaboration with <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/fraser-partners-0">Fraser &amp; Partners</a>, the architecture practice&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/mosaic-property-group">Mosaic</a> brought in as design partner for the first time on this project. The palette runs to natural stone, textured timbers, and soft metallics, materials chosen as much for their tactile quality as their appearance.

Light cleverly shifts across surfaces through the day, and the design is explicit about wanting that to be noticed. Full-height glazing runs across the primary living areas, and where the building faces east toward the ocean, those walls of glass are doing real work: framing a view corridor that the site's position directly opposite Broadbeach State School's playing fields keeps permanently open.

That outlook is the site's most consequential asset. In a suburb where new towers continue to rise, a protected view line is genuinely rare, and the Mary Avenue address secures it. Residents at Madeline will look out over open parkland rather than the rear of another building, a distinction that becomes more meaningful with each new development approved nearby.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=150135 project_image_fid=355939]

The private outdoor spaces are sized to match the residences themselves. Terraces on the upper levels frame uninterrupted ocean panoramas, and the planning ensures that living areas extend into those outdoor zones rather than treating them as separate attachments. The flow between the two is part of the design intent, not an afterthought.

Inside, the finish specification reflects the same approach. Rich stone benchtops, warm timber joinery, bespoke hardware, each element specified to hold up over time rather than read as a moment in a particular trend cycle.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=150135 project_image_fid=3409]

Beyond the residences, the amenity offering extends that register. A lap pool and sun deck anchor the outdoor space, alongside a magnesium pool, cold plunge, steam room, and sauna.

A commercial-grade gymnasium, residents' lounge, library, and boardroom round out a programme that functions more like a private members club than a standard building amenity floor.

Construction has commenced under Mosaic's in-house building arm, with completion scheduled for late 2028.

Madeline by Mosaic delivers penthouse-level living across every apartment

Sydney’s property market is known for high prices, competitive bidding, and mounting pressure on first home buyers. But change is on the horizon.

From late 2025, eligible first home buyers in New South Wales will have access to a new federal government initiative aimed at addressing affordability: the Help to Buy Scheme.&nbsp;

<h2>What is the Help to Buy Scheme?</h2>

The program introduces a shared equity model intended to reduce the upfront cost of entering the property market, particularly in high-demand urban areas such as Sydney.

The scheme operates under a shared ownership structure in which the federal government takes an equity stake of up to 40 per cent for new homes, or 30 per cent for existing dwellings. This arrangement allows eligible buyers to significantly reduce their loan size and avoid the added cost of Lenders Mortgage Insurance (LMI).

Under this model, purchasers can enter the property market with as little as a two per cent deposit, well below the traditional 10 to 20 per cent usually required. The government’s contribution is not a loan but a co-ownership stake in the property. As such, there is no interest or rent charged on its portion.

Because the government’s equity combined with the buyer’s deposit typically meets or exceeds the 20 per cent threshold, LMI does not apply. The remaining balance, generally between 60 and 70 per cent of the property’s value, is financed through a standard home loan with a participating lender.

The government's equity in the property remains in place until the buyer chooses to repay it voluntarily or until the property is sold. Buyers can buy back the government’s share over time, in increments of at least five per cent, depending on their financial situation.

There is no fixed repayment timeline, but the amount to be repaid will be based on the property's market value at the time of repayment, not the original purchase price.

<h2>How do you qualify for the&nbsp;Help to Buy Scheme?</h2>

To qualify for the Help to Buy Scheme, applicants must meet the following conditions:

<ul>
	<li>Be an Australian citizen at least 18 years of age.</li>
	<li>Be a first-home buyer who does not currently own property.</li>
	<li>Intend to live in the property as their primary residence.</li>
	<li>Earn less than $100,000 per year for individuals, or $160,000 for couples.</li>
	<li>Purchase a property within the regional price caps, currently $950,000 in Sydney, though this is expected to rise to approximately $1.3 million ahead of the program’s launch.</li>
</ul>

While the Help to Buy Scheme does not solve affordability challenges across the board, it does offer a more accessible pathway for a defined segment of the market, particularly younger buyers with moderate incomes who have been priced out of traditional lending routes.

The scheme is expected to commence in NSW in late 2025, as part of a national rollout.

Under the new model, purchasers can enter the property market with as little as a two per cent deposit, well below the traditional 10 to 20 per cent usually required

Help to Buy Scheme: What first home buyers in NSW need to know

The First Home Owners Grant (FHOG) is a government initiative designed to help eligible first-time home buyers by offering financial assistance towards the purchase or construction of a new home.

While the FHOG is a nationwide program, it is administered separately by each state and territory, meaning the eligibility criteria, grant amounts, and property requirements can vary depending on your location. This means that the amount available and the conditions attached to the grant will differ, so it is important to check the specific guidelines for your state or territory.

It’s important to note that the FHOG is just one of several incentives available to first home buyers. In most states and territories, the grant is not linked to stamp duty exemptions or concessions, with the exception of the Australian Capital Territory (ACT). The FHOG is typically a one-off payment, reducing the overall cost of purchasing or building a new home before any stamp duty concessions are applied.

Below, we provide a breakdown of the First Home Owner Grants available across Australia, outlining the specific details for each state and territory.

Every First Home Owner Grant for new property by state

In the ever-evolving landscape of sustainable architecture and environmentally conscious design, systems and ratings in place can help determine the energy efficiency of residential buildings in Australia.

Australia has multiple building rating systems that evaluate energy efficiency and sustainability in existing and new building designs.

Some systems assess individual building components, while others provide an overall rating for the entire structure.

A rating system ensures that homes are comfortable and energy-efficient, whether you are buying, renovating, or building.

NatHERS (Nationwide House Energy Rating Scheme) is a common way for new homes to meet energy efficiency requirements.

As new developments continue to shape the urban environment, understanding NatHERS ratings becomes essential for developers and homeowners. This article delves into the concept of NatHERS ratings, their significance, and how they contribute to creating energy-efficient homes.

<h2>What is NatHERS?</h2>

NatHERS is a national initiative implemented by the Australian government to promote energy efficiency in residential buildings. The scheme aims to provide a standardised method for assessing the thermal performance of homes, considering factors such as insulation, orientation, ventilation, and building materials.&nbsp;

NatHERS ratings are the most common way new homes meet the National Construction Code's (NCC's) minimum energy efficiency requirements.&nbsp;

NatHERS assessments provide thermal and whole-home ratings for new homes, townhouses, and apartments.

The rating helps evaluate the energy performance of buildings, guides homeowners and developers to make informed decisions about the energy efficiency of their properties, and encourages the construction of more sustainable, comfortable, and cost-effective homes.

<h2>How NatHERS Ratings Work</h2>

NatHERS ratings are determined through four accredited software tools (AccuRate, BERS Pro, FirstRate5, HERO) using a calculation engine CSIRO developed to predict building temperature based on various factors.

The tools can model complex effects of building mass, insulation, window size, and other elements.

The outcome is a star rating that reflects the building's overall thermal efficiency, indicating how well it can maintain a comfortable indoor temperature without excessive reliance on heating or cooling systems.

The star rating scale ranges from 0 to 10, with a 6-star rating being the minimum requirement for compliance with the National Construction Code (NCC).&nbsp;

Achieving a higher star rating demonstrates a commitment to energy efficiency and sustainability, as the building is better equipped to minimise its environmental impact and reduce long-term energy costs.

Anyone can use NatHERS tools, but accredited assessors can provide certified ratings and professional advice.

<h2>Benefits of Higher NatHERS Ratings</h2>

Energy Efficiency: Buildings with higher NatHERS ratings are more energy-efficient, requiring less heating and cooling energy. This reduces the structure's carbon footprint and lowers occupants' energy bills.

Cost Savings: Homes with higher NatHERS ratings are generally more energy-efficient, resulting in reduced energy consumption for heating and cooling. This translates to lower energy bills for homeowners, making sustainable living environmentally friendly and economically viable in the long run.

Environmental Impact: Lower energy consumption directly translates to a reduced environmental impact. Buildings with higher NatHERS ratings contribute to the overall goal of mitigating climate change by lowering greenhouse gas emissions associated with heating and cooling systems.

Improved Comfort: Buildings with high NatHERS ratings offer better thermal comfort to occupants. Proper insulation, well-designed ventilation, and optimal orientation maintain a consistent and comfortable indoor temperature, providing occupants with a more enjoyable and healthier space.

Market Value and Desirability: Higher NatHERS ratings can enhance the market value of a property. As energy efficiency becomes a more significant consideration for homebuyers, a well-rated building may attract a premium price and stand out in the real estate market.

Compliance with Building Codes: NatHERS ratings are a vital component of the National Construction Code (NCC), and compliance with these ratings is often a mandatory requirement for new developments. Local councils and planning authorities may set minimum energy efficiency standards that must be met to obtain development approval.

The Nationwide House Energy Rating Scheme (NatHERS) is a crucial initiative shaping the future of energy-efficient, resilient, and cost-effective homes. With its recent upgrades, NatHERS has evolved into a world-leading tool for the building sector, supporting the global commitment to achieving net-zero emissions by 2050.

Mixed-use developments have gained significant popularity across Australia in recent years due to their unique blend of residential, commercial, and recreational spaces.

Unlike traditional single-purpose developments, mixed-use projects offer a harmonious integration of various functions within a single locale.

Residential units seamlessly coexist with commercial establishments, retail outlets, dining venues, entertainment hubs, and recreational facilities, with the combination not only enhances convenience but also fosters a vibrant lifestyle and a sense of community.

<h3>Convenience and accessibility</h3>

Mixed-use developments are designed with convenience in mind. They often integrate residential units with commercial spaces, retail outlets, restaurants, and recreational facilities, creating a self-contained community.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=114215 project_image_fid=204874]

The proximity allows residents to enjoy the convenience of having essential amenities and services within walking distance. Whether it's grabbing a cup of coffee, going grocery shopping, or accessing healthcare services, everything is conveniently located, saving residents time and effort.

<h3>Vibrant lifestyle and community</h3>

One of the major advantages of mixed-use developments is the vibrant lifestyle they offer. With a diverse range of amenities and communal spaces, residents have ample opportunities to interact, socialise, and build a sense of community.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=107714 project_image_fid=214122]

The presence of parks, community centres, and shared spaces fosters a lively atmosphere, encouraging residents to engage in various activities and events. The vibrant lifestyle within these developments creates a unique sense of belonging and camaraderie among the residents.

<h3>Potential for higher rental yields and property value appreciation</h3>

Mixed-use developments tend to attract a broad range of tenants and buyers due to their versatile nature. This high demand can result in higher rental yields for investors and potentially lead to property value appreciation over time.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=139989 project_image_fid=212887]

The integration of commercial and retail spaces attracts businesses, which can provide a stable rental income stream. Additionally, the popularity of mixed-use developments often drives up property values, making them a potentially lucrative investment in the long term.

<h3>Enhanced security and maintenance</h3>

Mixed-use developments typically have comprehensive security measures in place. With controlled access points, CCTV surveillance, and professional security staff, residents can enjoy enhanced safety and peace of mind.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108019 project_image_fid=212658]

Additionally, these developments often have dedicated maintenance teams responsible for the upkeep of common areas, landscaping, and infrastructure. This ensures that the overall appearance and functionality of the development are well-maintained, creating a pleasant living environment for residents.

<h3>Live-work-play balance</h3>

One of the key attractions of mixed-use developments is the ability to achieve a desirable live-work-play balance. The integration of residential and commercial spaces allows residents to live closer to their workplaces, reducing commuting time and improving work-life balance.

The proximity to various amenities and recreational facilities encourages an active and healthy lifestyle. Residents can easily access fitness centres, parks, restaurants, and entertainment options, all within the same development, leading to a more fulfilling and convenient way of life.

The top five reasons to buy in a mixed-use development

When buying a property, everyone needs to be aware of the additional costs that come as part of the buying process.

Often the largest outlay, after the deposit which goes to the bank, is stamp duty.

<h2 style="line-height: 1.38;">What is Stamp Duty?</h2>

Stamp duty is an extra tax to pay the government when you buy land, a property, and other certain assets.

It happens when the legal ownership is transferred. It can also be known as property transfer duty or transfer duty.

<iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="415" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/C32BWkB5--c" title="YouTube video player" width="660"></iframe>

<h2>Who pays Stamp Duty?</h2>

In some circumstances, you may get an exemption. For some states, you won’t have to pay for stamp duty if you are a first home buyer or a pensioner for houses under a particular price. There are also stamp duty concessions, where you may be entitled to a discount.

<h2>How much does Stamp Duty cost?</h2>

Each state has different rules which affect how much you need to pay. These rules can affect the rate you pay, and the timeframe you will need to pay in. Before you buy land or a property, make sure you check the up-to-date information for your state’s stamp duty.

You can use a free stamp duty calculator online to see approximately how much you’ll need to pay. Find out if you’re eligible for an exemption by enquiring on a project via Urban!

Overall, the stamp duty you need to pay will depend on:

<ul>
	<li aria-level="1">How much your land/property is worth</li>
	<li aria-level="1">Where your land/property is located</li>

</ul>

Off-the-plan property explained: What is stamp duty?

Before the onset of COVID-19, Chevron Island's newest apartment development would have been at least two decades old.

Fast forward four years, and some reputable apartment developers later, the small island just a bridge away from Surfers Paradise, is absolutely booming.

The island broke headlines in 2017 when Melbourne-based developer Bensons Property announced it was going to develop Chevron One, a 40-level tower on Stanhill Drive. The under-construction tower will be the only skyscraper on the island, following a change in planning laws shortly after the approval.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=6515 project_image_fid=167320]

But the island didn't truly boom until a few years later, around the opening of the Home of The Arts (HOTA) Gallery, located just across the green bridge from Chevron Island and the cultural hub of the Gold Coast. With the new gallery came&nbsp;The Exhibitionist Bar on the Gallery Rooftop, Palette Restaurant, and a new HOTA Shop.

Further investment by the Gold Coast City Council will bring a new&nbsp;1800-seat lyric theatre to the precinct, as well as a refurbishment of the current 800-seat theatre.

Apartment developers took note of the activity on the island and the surrounding area, and buyers have responded in a big way.

Brent Thompson's Siera Group made <a href="/developments/chevron-island-qld-4217">Chevron Island</a> home for their first <a href="/new-apartments/gold-coast-qld">Gold Coast</a> apartment development.

Thompson, who had been scoping out the Gold Coast market for 18 months before purchasing a prime 1500 sqm site on Darrambal Street, had a string of boutique townhouse and apartment developments in Brisbane's inner-ring suburbs to his name before moving Siera south.

"We have always built in-house, so it was really more about building a team of experienced high-rise staff to deliver Tapestry as we always have as builder/ developer," Thompson says.

On submitting plans for Tapestry in 2021, Thompson said <a href="/developments/chevron-island-qld-4217">Chevron Island</a>&nbsp;has a "great local community".

"It's a tight-knit community, while being ideally located just a five-minute walk from the international tourist hub of Surfers Paradise."

Thompson kept everything local when he submitted plans for Tapestry, a 22-level arts-inspired apartmet project designed to be in keeping with&nbsp;Chevron Island’s growing standing at the cultural arts hub of the Gold Coast. He had the local BDA Architecture team undertake the design, while also commissioning a piece from local artist Tania Blanchard that will hang in the lobby when the building is completed.

Tapestry will home 113 two and three-bedroom apartments with an impressive rooftop comprising a swimming pool, barbecue and alfresco space, a private dining room with a terrace and fire pit, an edible garden, a private gym with a sauna and steam room and landscaped gardens.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108641 project_image_fid=192964]

“After all the research and understanding&nbsp;<a href="/developments/chevron-island-qld-4217">Chevron Island</a>&nbsp;as a whole, it really felt like it was the perfect place to deliver a project like&nbsp;<a href="/new-apartments/tapestry-chevron-island-39-darrambal-street-chevron-island" target="">Tapestry</a>, where we’ve created this phenomenal amount of amenity and beautiful residences that locals will be able to move into and downsize," Thompson said.

Siera Group recently brought construction in-house and kicked off the build at Tapestry, which is expected to complete in late 2025.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108641 project_image_fid=192961]

Another reputable builder developer on the island is Aniko Group, who has a strong track record of delivering qualiy on a Gold Coast island before. They've previously developed over $400 million worth of apartments and townhouses on Hope Island.

Aniko's construction arm will be completing their Chevron Island apartment development, Orama, in late 2025. A similarly impressive rooftop to Tapestry, Orama will have 102 two and three-bedroom apartments designed by Plus Architecture. The project is currently over 80 per cent sold.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=111898 project_image_fid=240584]

When Aniko secured the Weemala Street site, Aniko Founder George Mastocrastas said they wanted to create something that was "in keeping with the community fabric of the island suburb."

“Chevron is just a short walk to Surfers Paradise, the beach, the Gold Coast’s cultural heart and all the amenities the central Gold Coast has to offer. It’s both laid back and sophisticated at the same time."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=111898 project_image_fid=209597]

Another local developer Sherpa Property Group, also recently launched Perspective Helm, the most boutique apartment development on the island.

The waterfront building on Stanhill Drive comprises just 10 three and four-bedroom residences, a mix of apartments and villas, that start from $4 million. Some of the residences have their own private marina berth.

Chevron Island's boom has been reflected in enquiry data collected by MatterFact, the data product from Apartments.com.au. The data shows that the average price per square metre has skyrocketed over the last three years, increasing between 35 to 50 percent in most cases.

In 2022, the average price per square metre for two-bedroom apartments was $8,200. This figure jumped to $9,900 in 2023 and currently sits closer to $11,000 in 2024.

Three-bedroom apartments saw a similar increase, rising from $8,900 in 2022 to $11,200 in 2023, and further to $13,200 in 2024.

Josh Foote's Ignite Projects is heading back to the Palm Beach sand, filing plans for its latest luxury beachfront project.

Having acquired a development-approved site a few months ago from GV Property Group, <a href="/developers/ignite-projects">Ignite</a>, who has had success on the <a href="/developments/palm-beach-qld-4221">Palm Beach</a> beachfront previously with Cabana, has scaled back plans to be more in keeping with the Palm Beach beachfront.

Now on the desks of the Gold Coast City Council is <a href="/new-apartments/retreat-palm-beach-1177-jefferson-lane-palm-beach-qld-4221">Retreat Palm Beach</a>, a nine-level building by Plus Architecture with 36 apartments. There will be four two-bed apartments and 32 three-beds, 31 of which also have a multi-purpose room.

<img alt="Palmie" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="ce60f9fb-2dc7-4da7-aee6-689894d8658f" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202024-06-20%20at%207.26.44%E2%80%AFPM.png?VersionId=CZuDywsZQrYWUhs0AQCDq0wZEmtuoWxr" />

Josh Foote told Urban the new project will follow the same blueprint as Cabana, 30 apartments up the road that was one of the fastest selling developments in the Gold Coast in 2021.

"Cabana was so well received, it would have been silly to not take the opportunity to recreate something similar when we know that market so well," he said.

"We've had Plus come in and create a facade that is something fresh and challenges convention a little compared to what's come before in the area."

One of the key focuses for Foote is on the communal area on the ground level.

"We want this space to become an urban retreat for residents, within the confines of the building.

"Of course one of the biggest drawcards will be the proximity to the beach, but we want this space to act as a retreat from the beach. "The design will evoke a Mediterranean day spa ambiance, characterised by organic and natural elements, featuring a sculpted lagoon pool and floating day beds."

<img alt="Palmie" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="f1aef654-cf06-48e0-9119-678ec0586b6c" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202024-06-20%20at%207.26.40%E2%80%AFPM.png?VersionId=wtQjhnbEIOUZaTHg4Nsc1KWPCjCMv_yh" />

Much like several developers on the Gold Coast who are wanting to avoid any problems with construction, Foote will be bringing construction in-house for the new project.

"It's a matter of wanting to control the quality and delivery from concept to completion," Foote says, adding that they'll be ready to start construction in early 2025. Sales and marketing is expected to commence in Q3 2024, with the new development application code-assessable so it should fly through its approval process.

"We considered numerous elements before finalising the layout of the floor plans to ensure the best possible outcome,"&nbsp; Foote says.

"It ticks a lot of boxes for downsizers."

<img alt="Ignite" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="b83d81b3-ae34-4cef-a16e-cf754be4f84f" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202024-06-21%20at%204.21.17%E2%80%AFPM.png?VersionId=uCmQTal2UbrqqeCbIwWYBqCw8crZgdsk" />

GV Property Group's Luke Reaby says there aren't many more opportunities to create a project of the scale of this one, namely due to the fact the lack of supply coming to the market, as well as the ability to amalgamate a site of this size.

"We're in constant communication with every owner on the beachfront and Jefferson Lane and believe these sites will become more scarce everyday, especially four blocks in a row like this one," Reaby says.

"We sold the unit block then approached the neighbours to the north to make the site larger which has allowed for a better scheme to be put to Council."

Reaby says there were multiple offers from local developers, as well as a consortium of investors from the local area who looked at it as a landbanking opportunity.

Ignite is taking the wraps off its luxury Main Beach apartment development, The Monaco, just 24 half and full-floor apartments that sold out with an average sale price of $4.6 million.

Josh Foote told Urban the new project will follow the same blueprint as Cabana, 30 apartments up the road that was one of the fastest selling developments in the Gold Coast in 2021.

The Gold Coast’s super tight A-grade office market is about to get a major boost as Aniko Group gears up for construction of its $2 billion mixed Mermaid Beach project The Landmark, with the development set to deliver the equivalent of more than a year’s worth of supply.

<a href="/new-apartments/the-landmark-mermaid-beach-14-seaview-avenue-mermaid-beach-qld-4218">The Landmark</a>, a mixed-use project set to rise on a 1.13 hectare site bounded by Seaview Avenue and the Gold Coast Highway, will create up to 11,000 sqm of office space in the sought-after central Gold Coast market and provide the largest injection of new office space to the city since The Oracle was completed 14 years ago.

The development has been hailed a welcome relief by the real estate industry as vacancy rates on the Gold Coast, particularly A-grade stock, plumb record lows.

The most recent analysis by <a href="/project-marketer/colliers">Colliers</a> showed that net absorption of office space in the six months to January hit 4,490sqm, with A-grade properties recording the highest level of demand.

Based on the latest net absorption rate, The Landmark will deliver more than a year of supply to the Gold Coast market which saw vacancy rates fall to 6.4 per cent in January across the broader market. A-grade space went even lower to 3.3 per cent.

“The landmark represents one of the biggest injections of office space in the Gold Coast market for more than a decade,” said Colliers <a href="/developments/gold-coast-qld">Gold Coast</a> director-in-charge Steven King.

“It comes amid an acute shortage of new office developments across the city due to higher construction costs, labour shortages and increased borrowing costs.&nbsp;

“In a single hit, The Landmark will open up more opportunities for businesses to secure A-grade space close to key transport nodes in the central Gold Coast precinct.”

<img alt="Aniko Group’s $2 billion The Landmark" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="efc3bd58-d7af-42ea-bad5-24ac76444a80" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/JPEG_aerial_aniko_masterplan_3_3d_render_by_volumevision_0.jpg?VersionId=fzINNskxAAwXg7dFiP17u7opSxDC.BWW" />

Positioned prominently at the entrance to the iconic Pacific Fair Shopping Centre, The Landmark will be supported by easy access to the Broadbeach South light rail station and bus interchange to create an uber-connected community and support a new urban heart for <a href="/developments/mermaid-beach-qld-4218">Mermaid Beach</a>.

Gold Coast A-grade stock comprises a total area of 87,203 sqm out of the city’s total estimated office space of 460,510 sqm. With 11,000 sqm being added by The Landmark, the development will boost the city’s A-grade offering by almost 14 per cent and see it as the second largest office tower behind 50 Cavill Avenue.

“Tenants have been crying out for A-grade space amid the continued migration of business owners to the Gold Coast and the expansion needs of existing businesses,” King added.

“With the rate of net absorption of space at present, this project will add more than a year’s supply of much-needed A-grade space and alleviate some of the shortages the market has been experiencing.”

Despite the impact of higher interest rates on the Australian economy, the Gold Coast office market remains robust, thanks to continued strong population and business growth, <a href="/project-marketer/cbre-residential-australia">CBRE</a> predicts that Gold Coast office vacancy will remain at one of the lowest rates in the country.

“The Gold Coast office vacancy rate could fall to 2-3 per cent by 2025. We desperately need more A-grade office space and have been waiting for this supply since Oracle in Broadbeach was introduced to the region 14 years ago,” said Tania Moore, senior director of investor leasing of CBRE Gold Coast.

CBRE’s Gold Coast Office Market Report revealed that the city’s vacancy rate remains one of the tightest in Australia, at just 6.4 per cent.

The Gold Coast’s supply pipeline will be limited over the next few years due to high interest rates, construction costs, delays and labour shortages restricting construction, said the report.

“The central Gold Coast is desperate for major A-grade office space, as the region continues to grow and evolve into a corporate nucleus with tenant demand focussed on a high-quality building quality and amenities,” Moore said.

“Aniko Group’s vision will also incorporate a number of incredible value adds to the office precinct with close proximity to the new international restaurants and retail precinct that will be a feature of The Landmark.”

<img alt="Aniko Group’s $2 billion The Landmark development" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="e4875d6a-6e71-4bf0-9a51-9480e3748f49" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/JPEG_streetscape_seaview_ave_3d_render_by_VV.jpg?VersionId=ELNdTpQwNPgalqz7dQnZTQphCVZQB9Ei" />

The Landmark, a four-tower mixed-use project, is primed to unlock new residential and commercial opportunities with a design that will create an iconic southern gateway to Broadbeach.

<a href="/developers/aniko-group">Aniko Group</a>, which plans to undertake the project in stages, has laid plans for three residential towers of 25, 30, and 40 storeys, in addition to a 53-level tower featuring a mix of hotel suites and private hotel-branded residences.

The project’s activated space will be dominated by a sprawling 1ha recreation podium in addition to a commercial precinct comprising A-grade offices, medical services and a ground floor retail and dining precinct.&nbsp;

The prime location of The Landmark will provide office occupants with an enviable office space, but more than this, it is idealistically positioned with the best of world-class amenities including international retail and dining precincts surrounding the project.

“Our vision for The Landmark is to create a self-sustained urban village in Mermaid Beach that is a natural extension of the commercial heart of the city,” said Aniko Group managing director George Mastrocostas.

“The office component is integral to enhancing the activated space where tenants can enjoy all that this world-class precinct will have to offer.

“We’re proud to be at the forefront of enhancing the Gold Coast’s commercial landscape with The Landmark. This development not only addresses the urgent demand for premium office space but also sets a new standard for urban living and working in the region”.&nbsp;

Aniko Group is planning to make a start to construction of The Landmark by the end of this year.

The <a href="/developments/brisbane-qld">Brisbane</a> property market continued to experience significant growth over May, growth that took it past Canberra to become Australia's second most expensive capital city property market.

"With Brisbane housing values consistently posting solid capital gains while ACT values remain relatively stable, we saw a changing of the guard in May," CoreLogic Research Director Tim Lawless said.

"Brisbane overtook Canberra as having the second-highest median dwelling value across the capitals in May, a position Brisbane hasn’t recorded since 1997."

Brisbane's median dwelling value (which incorporates both units and houses), is now $843,000, above Canberra's $840,000.

It was another big month for the unit market (just townhouses and apartments). The 1.9 per cent growth took the median unit value above Melbourne to $615,000, above Melbourne's $614,000.

Brisbane's rolling quarterly growth is now 5.3 per cent, the strongest eastern seaboard capital. Brisbane's housing market was up 3.7 per cent over the same period.

&nbsp;

CoreLogic's Home Value Index rose by 0.8 per cent during the month, marking the 16th consecutive month of growth and the largest monthly gain since October of the previous year.

Lawless attributed the strong market performance to extremely low levels of available supply in Brisbane and other strong markets. Brisbane's property listings are 34 per cent below the five-year average for this time of year. Despite an increase in vendor activity compared to last year, fresh listings are quickly absorbed by market demand, maintaining low stock levels and exerting upward pressure on prices.

<h2>What happened in Brisbane’s off-the-plan apartment market in May</h2>

There was only one new project for buyers to look at in May. It came from veteran Brisbane apartment developer <a href="/developers/gardner-vaughan-group">Gardner Vaughan Group</a>, who launched their <a href="/developments/nundah-qld-4012">Nundah</a> village mixed-use development, <a href="/new-apartments/danby-lane-nundah-village-5-danby-lane-nundah">DANBY LN</a>.

The 12-level development comprises 84 apartments ranging from one to four bedrooms, priced between $599,000 and $3,199,000.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112531 project_image_fid=280772]

The project integrates residential units with ground-floor retail, commercial spaces, and extensive recreational facilities including&nbsp;a rooftop with BBQ facilities, a herb and vegetable garden and outdoor dining areas.

There were more developments submitted to the Brisbane City Council in May, a positive sign for future apartment supply.

One of the most anticipated was the first stage of&nbsp;<a href="/new-apartments/bulimba-barracks-stage-1-167-apollo-road-bulimba">Bulimba Barracks</a>, the inner-city masterplan by&nbsp;<a href="/developers/shayher-group">Shayher Group</a>.

The site, acquired from the Department of Defence in 2020, has undergone extensive demolition, retaining only a fabrication workshop from World War II.&nbsp;

It was yet another month of solid gains in the Gold Coast unit market.

The 1.8 per cent growth in May, following 1.1 per cent growth in both March and April, made it the top-performing regional unit market in Queensland, according to CoreLogic's latest Monthly Hedonic Index

It outstripped the growth in <a href="/developments/sydney-nsw">Sydney</a> and <a href="/developments/melbourne-vic">Melbourne</a>.

The median value of units in the <a href="/developments/gold-coast-qld">Gold Coast</a> has reached $784,000, which would put the median value only second to Sydney. The median started 2024 at $727,000.

<h2>What happened in the Gold Coast off the plan apartment market in May</h2>

The average price for new apartments sold on the Gold Coast has risen more than $500,000 in the past six months, according to Urbis, as sustained demand and dwindling supply combined with a sharp rise in interstate investor activity and construction costs continue to impact property values.

The&nbsp;<a href="/architects/urbis">Urbis</a>&nbsp;Apartment Market Essentials report for the March quarter has revealed that new apartment sales achieved a weighted average sale price of $1.73 million, the highest since Urbis began monitoring the new apartment market in 2014.&nbsp;

This is up from $1.67 million in the December quarter, and $1.13 million in September quarter.

There was success up and down the Gold Coast, as well as a much-needed 1000 apartments added to the apartment supply. That was from Harry Triguboff's&nbsp;<a href="/developers/meriton" target="">Meriton</a>&nbsp;who launched their two-tower&nbsp;<a href="/new-apartments/cypress-palms-surfers-paradise-3346-surfers-paradise-boulevarde-surfers-paradise">Cypress Palms</a>&nbsp;development&nbsp;in <a href="/developments/surfers-paradise-qld-4217">Surfers Paradise</a>.

The towers will home just shy of 1000 apartments across two 76 and 90-level towers on a vast 8,083 sqm site at 3346 Surfers Paradise Boulevarde, on top of the Cypress Ave G-Link light rail.

&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=139696 project_image_fid=277713]

Cypress Palms will be Harry Triguboff's 21st high-rise development on the Gold Coast, having first visited the now thriving tourist mecca six decades ago.

There was success in Palm Beach where&nbsp;<a href="/developers/marquee">Marquee Development Partners</a>&nbsp;recently launched&nbsp;<a href="/new-apartments/la-belle-palm-beach-332-the-esplanade-palm-beach">La Belle Palm Beach</a>&nbsp;to much fanfare. Its $100 million in sales within the first month of it being on the market made it&nbsp;the city’s fastest-selling project of 2024.

Sales ranged from $2.5 million to $7 million.

City Beat June 2024: Gold Coast unit market enjoys best month in 2024

National developer Metro Property Development, once the largest inner-city residential apartment developer in SEQ, is bringing its reputable name to Rochedale, a small suburb south of Brisbane.

Metro is currently developing <a href="/new-apartments/citrine-townhomes-rochedale-311-gardner-road-rochedale">Citrine</a>, a community of 90 two to three-level, three to four-bedroom townhouses on Gardner Road, a stone's throw from <a href="/developments/rochedale-qld-4123">Rochedale</a> Village, the area's central shopping hub.

The townhouses offer a huge point of difference in a suburb dominated by houses. The latest ABS Census showed 90 per cent of the dwelling type in the suburb is a separate house. There are only around 150 townhouses in the whole suburb.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=136295 project_image_fid=273139]

Australia's largest semi-detached builder,&nbsp;<a href="/developers/creation-homes">Creation Homes</a>, has already started construction on the 3.83ha site Metro acquired in mid-2021.

Each townhome within Citrine features an open plan living and dining area that extends to either courtyards or balconies that characterise the Queensland lifestyle and dwelling typology. The kitchens have been made for entertaining with a stone island bench, while the master retreats have their own ensuites with double vanities.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=136295 project_image_fid=273138]

The majority of townhouses have an additional multi-purpose room that can double up as a second living area on a different level to the main living space.

Citrine residents will also have access to resort-style amenities in the form of a lap pool and adjoining barbecue area, located in the middle of the community.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=136295 project_image_fid=273134]

Citrine is centrally located within walking distance of local schools, parks, and Rochedale Village, which is anchored by a large Coles supermarket and various dining choices, pharmacies, medical services, and fitness facilities, all within 500 metres.

The third stage of Rochedale Town Centre has also recently been announced, on the corner of Gardner Road and Miles Platting Road.&nbsp;

Designed by POWE Architects, the proposal is for a second supermarket with more retail, food and drink outlets, an outdoor dining area and plaza entrance, and further car parking in the final integrated stage.

Metro to bring something different to Rochedale with Citrine townhouses

Bastion Property Group has secured more than $30 million in sales for <a>Nera Residences</a> in a little over two months of the project’s official launch.

The $145 million development, which comprises apartments, six skyhomes and a full-floor penthouse, has been inundated with local buyers keen to lock in the walkable village lifestyle of the island suburb.

The sales surge takes <a href="/new-apartments/nera-residences-chevron-island-8-10-parneno-street-chevron-island">Nera Residences</a> closer to a construction start after Bastion secured development approval late last year.

Sales so far have comprised of a blend of two-bedroom apartments from $1.2 million to $1.65 million, as well as half-floor, three-bedroom apartments from $2.2 million to $3.5 million.

“Local buyers have been quick to identify the unique offering at Nera Residences, with some buyers already existing <a href="/developments/chevron-island-qld-4217">Chevron Island</a> residents,” said Alex De Vincentiis, managing director of project marketer <a href="/project-marketer/onepm">ONE:PM</a>.

“Interstate buyers have also been among the early movers with many noting the value that Nera Residences represents for a central Gold Coast location.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108640 project_image_fid=241583]

Nera Residences, located at the northern end of Chevron at 8-10 Parneno Street is just a short stroll to Surfers Paradise and Chevron Island’s retail and dining hub.

“The pre-launch campaign garnered hundreds of inquiries and secured several firm commitments from buyers. This momentum has persisted well beyond the initial quarter", De Vincentiis said.

“Many of our buyers were already sold on Chevron Island for its unique positioning alongside the bustle of Surfers Paradise, and the easy access to the light rail and the city’s emerging cultural precinct at Evandale. But they have been equally impressed with the superb designs of Nera’s residences and the amenities that residents will enjoy.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108640 project_image_fid=253872]

Award-winning firm <a href="/architects/bda-architecture">BDA Architecture</a> and Paradigm Design Studio have crafted Nera Residences to offer large, open floorplans and generous balconies in an array of two- and three-bedroom layout options with luxe fittings and inclusions.&nbsp;

Rising 28 levels, many Nera apartments will take advantage of 360-degree views of the ocean, river and hinterland. Oversized windows will invite in ample natural light, creating an alluring atmosphere to capture the essence of Gold Coast lifestyle.

Nera’s residents will enjoy luxurious rooftop amenities, including an infinity pool, wellness spa, which includes sauna and cold-water therapy, fitness centre with hinterland view, exclusive Residence Lounge and Private Dining Room, fire pit, and a dedicated unique yoga platform.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108640 project_image_fid=253875]

<a href="/developers/bastion">Bastion Property Group</a>, a company backed by a private consortium of experienced national and international developers, developed and built by Bastion, construction of Nera Residences starts in the next few months.

“Nera Residences’ exceptional sales response from the market within just 10 weeks of the official launch has affirmed our vision for this unique project,” said Alex Wood, Basiton director.

“Nera is setting a new standard for Chevron Island and after finalising final refinements to the design, our team is looking forward to progressing project to the construction stage.”

Bastion Property Group anticipates Nera Residences will welcome its first residents in 2026.

Nera Residences, Chevron Island secures $30 million in apartment sales

Most of the new apartment developments in the Southern Gold Coast's sought-after pocket of Palm Beach have been beachfront or beachside luxury.

The latest plans, by a private Melbourne-based developer, will likely offer something a little more pricepointed than what's currently on the market.

Still catering for the owner-occupier with the majority of three-bed apartments, the project, dubbed Tarni due to its location at 1 Tarni Avenue, sits on the western and non-beachside side of the Gold Coast Highway. The 792 sqm site, on the corner of Tarni Avenue and Twenty Eighth Avenue, is nearer to Tallebudgera Creek.

<img alt="Tarni" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="e2410542-e85d-4066-a675-a771c331a146" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202024-06-17%20at%209.20.43%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=Jw.9MTL0Odv2D.3p139JGlzhuCjb2Cvc" />

ByCulprit has pulled together the designs for the eight-level building, suggesting the creek, ocean coastlines and coves were the inspiration to create the architectural facade.

They said their design thinking was to "create an organic, jagged base with crushed rocks with soft off-white planes floating above wrapping down to mimic the ocean waves and its sculpted ability."

They "pinched" the building to create view corridors from each corner of the building while also creating "coves", private, protected balconies that can take in the views and create shade.

<img alt="Tarni Palm Beach" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="f1b97d49-cb8a-491c-921d-c9b457c03fae" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202024-06-17%20at%209.19.46%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=aXd3pHQOjBy6BLd1Zgq6_UjmiA0n6uGy" />

There will 23 apartments in total, a sole one-bedroom unit, six two-bedrooms, and 16 three-bedroom apartments. They will sit above two basement levels and a ground level with 45 parking spaces and 23 bicycle spaces.

Also on the ground level will be a swimming pool, wet deck with daybeds, and a gym.

The new project will opposite The Tally, the recently completed 45-apartment building by MVGS Properties at 14-18 Twenty Eighth Avenue.

Palm Beach has been the most popular spot on the Gold Coast since the pandemic. Off the plan apartment developments flew off the shelves, and there wasn't enough stock to keep up with demand.

Now the focus is mainly on the beach, where the likes of <a href="/news/qld/mosaic-secures-beachfront-palm-beach-site-for-latest-luxury-apartment-development">Mosaic</a>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<a href="/news/qld/first-look-exclusive-ignite-projects-line-up-next-luxury-palm-beach-apartment-development">Ignite Projects</a>&nbsp;and <a href="/news/qld/5point-doubledown-in-palm-beach-with-15-6-million-beachfront-acquisition">5Point</a>&nbsp;recently secured sites.

So far sales prices have ranged from $2.5 million to $7 million.

Daniel Clarke, General Manager of Sherpa said that the latest acquisition has provided Sherpa with a rare gem in the Gold Coast market, where sites of such calibre are extremely scarce.

“This acquisition represents an investment that Sherpa is making into a region that it sees significant value in. It’s an exciting opportunity to create something that will withstand the test of time,” Clarke said.

“We’re excited to bring a new product to the market, different to the known and loved Sherpa brand, but set to be a crowd favourite nonetheless.
