<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/broadbeach-qld-4218">Broadbeach</a> offers plenty of reasons to live vertically, but moving from a substantial family home into an apartment can expose the compromises of high-density living. Privacy, room for guests and usable living space tend to matter more when an apartment is intended as a permanent home rather than an occasional coastal base.

A typical residential floor at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/the-eveleigh-broadbeach-7-9-surf-parade-broadbeach-qld-4218">The Eveleigh</a>, on Surf Parade,&nbsp;contains just four apartments. The 94-residence development by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/hirsch-faigen">Hirsch &amp; Faigen</a> is predominantly made up of expansive three-bedroom homes, with a limited collection of half-floor penthouses above.

Across the apartment floors, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/rothelowman">Rothelowman</a> has used the relatively limited number of residences to give each home greater access to natural light and outlook. Living spaces extend towards full-height glazing, while a series of bay windows frame selected views across the Pacific Ocean, city and hinterland rather than treating the building edge as a continuous wall of glass.

&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=149670 project_image_fid=360965]

“The apartment floors deliver a collection of homes that embrace controlled outlook via a series of bay windows deliberately framing moments of view,” Rothelowman Director Kim Lowman said.

From outside, those projecting forms contribute to the tower’s faceted profile. Strong horizontal and vertical elements establish its proportions, while the changing position of the sun alters the light, shadow and reflection across the façade throughout the day.

The same attention moves inside the apartments, where the material palette combines warm timber, natural stone, metallic detailing and softer curved forms. Kitchens sit within the main living zone, with stone island benches, integrated joinery and European appliances, before the living areas extend towards the glazing and the outlook.

&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=149670 project_image_fid=360981]

Three genuine bedrooms provide room to accommodate family and guests, while two secure car spaces and storage address some of the practical considerations that can become more noticeable when moving from a larger home. Feedback from the display suite has centred on the warmth and restraint of the interiors, with buyers commenting that the residences feel like homes rather than conventional coastal apartments.

A limited collection of half-floor penthouses occupies the upper levels, increasing the scale of the living spaces and adding private balconies and elevated finishes. From this position, the outlook extends between the ocean and hinterland.

Outside the private residences, The Eveleigh separates its shared spaces between the podium and rooftop. The podium is centred on wellness, with subtropical landscaping surrounding a swimming pool and pool terrace, yoga garden, private gymnasium, sauna and hot and cold plunge facilities. Landscaped retreats and pavilions provide additional places to sit away from the main recreation areas.

&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=149670 project_image_fid=360966]

Higher in the building, a rooftop pavilion and private dining suite sit alongside resident lounge, barbecue and outdoor dining areas, opening towards panoramic views across the ocean, city and hinterland.

“Buyers are no longer just looking for an apartment, but a lifestyle where they can relax, reset, and enjoy a balanced way of living,” Hirsch &amp; Faigen Director of Sales Matt George said.

Interest to date has come from established owner-occupiers and interstate lifestyle purchasers, including buyers planning a future move to the Gold Coast. Many are coming from larger homes and want to reduce ongoing maintenance without giving up space for family and guests, privacy, two car spaces or the ability to entertain at home.

&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=149670 project_image_fid=360969]

Much of that daily life can also take place beyond the building without requiring a drive. Kurrawa Beach and Pratten Park are an easy walk from Surf Parade, while Pacific Fair, Oracle Boulevard, The Oasis, restaurants, cafés, entertainment and public transport are also within walking distance.

The Eveleigh is Hirsch &amp; Faigen's fourth Gold Coast development since entering the market in 2021, following The Hemingway at Palm Beach, The Emerson at Kirra and Yves at Mermaid Beach. Each of the preceding projects sold out before completion.

“Broadbeach had been on our radar throughout our time operating on the Gold Coast,” the developer said. “Following our projects in Palm Beach, Kirra and Mermaid Beach, Broadbeach represented the natural next step for the business.”

The Surf Parade site brought together proximity to the beach, protected coastal outlooks and walkability to dining, shopping and recreation. Hirsch &amp; Faigen also identified the street as an emerging premium residential address, with enough separation from Broadbeach's busier destinations to retain a quieter environment at home.

The Eveleigh is now under construction by Maxcon, with completion forecast for mid-2028. Three-bedroom residences are currently available from $2.87 million.

The Eveleigh brings house-like apartments to Broadbeach

A long-stalled Campbelltown development site is back in play, with new plans for 139 apartments set to supersede a mixed-use scheme approved almost a decade ago but never built.

The new proposal for 28 Cordeaux Street would deliver 116 market and 23 affordable apartments in a part 14-storey building, bringing a substantial new project into a Campbelltown market where new apartment supply remains limited.

Plans have been filed over the 3,092 sqm corner site at Moore-Oxley Street, around 600 metres from Campbelltown Railway Station and the city-centre retail core.

The site already carries a mixed-use residential approval dating to 2016. Doroch Architects has now been engaged on a larger replacement scheme, which is progressing as a State Significant Development Application following a Housing Delivery Authority determination in August 2025.

The apartment mix comprises 39 one-bedroom, 72 two-bedroom and 28 three-bedroom residences. Two-bedroom apartments make up just over half of the project, while three-bedroom homes account for 20 per cent.

<img alt="First look: New 139-apartment plans revive long-stalled Campbelltown city centre site" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="136dd5b9-3791-4da6-9e31-76f533f5b4de" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Campbelltown%20da2.png?VersionId=LgOSy9nwf5u.MGswBBwaGGxuX8QpHSl_" />

Of the 139 apartments, 23 will be delivered as affordable housing under the in-fill affordable housing provisions of the Housing SEPP. The affordable component represents 15 per cent of the residential gross floor area and will be managed by a registered Community Housing Provider.

Doroch has sought to break the scale of the building into two distinct elements, with a masonry podium of around four storeys establishing the street edge before the residential tower steps back above.

The corner position has shaped that approach. Cordeaux Street faces toward the commercial and civic centre, while Moore-Oxley Street leads into the lower-scale residential neighbourhood to the south, and the design verification report describes the site as "bridging the commercial core to the north and established residential areas to the south."

The podium will be expressed predominantly in face brick, while the upper levels shift to brushed and grooved concrete cladding with darker metal detailing. Recessed sections, deep balcony edges and landscaping break down the upper form, with an approximately 11.8-metre setback to the northern boundary addressing the adjoining St Peters Anglican School.

Campbelltown has been starved of new residential developments in the last decade.

The only other notable development set to come to market this year is ALAND's Queen Square, a mixed-use precinct on over two hectares that will comprise apartments above a vibrant ground-level retail and hospitality dining precinct.

First Look: Sherlock Construction pitches apartments for low-rise Deception Bay

Queensland builder-developer MAYD has revealed the first look at its major North Kirra beachfront development, lodging amended plans that reduce the number of apartments and increase the proportion of larger residences.

The project is planned across a substantial 4,742 sqm amalgamated site spanning seven lots at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/2-6-pacific-parade-bilinga-qld-4225">2-6 Pacific Parade</a> and 27-33 Golden Four Drive in Bilin​ga, directly opposite Nor​th Kirra Beach.

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/mayd-group">MAYD</a> secured the site for $32.5 million in 2025, in what was one of the Gold Coast's largest property transactions of the year.

The development will be delivered across two stages, with the first stage carrying an estimated gross realisation value of around $360 million.

The latest amendments seek to reduce the overall apartment count and shift the project further toward the owner-occupier market, with larger residences designed for buyers wanting considerably more space than traditionally offered in a beachfront apartment.

The residential mix will include townhomes, oversized two-bedroom apartments, substantial three-bedroom residences and four-bedroom homes.

MAYD has appointed Cera Stribley to lead the architecture and interiors, with the Melbourne-based design practice drawing on the beachfront setting through a series of ocean-facing terraces and heavily landscaped balconies.

Strong horizontal forms and curved balconies will define the exterior, with subtropical landscaping integrated throughout the building to soften the built form and increase the connection between the residences and the beachfront.

The project will also include an extensive collection of resident wellness and lifestyle facilities, continuing the broader shift across the Gold Coast's luxury apartment market toward larger homes supported by resort-style amenity.

<img alt="MAYD" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="d1bcbb05-e659-4b47-8bd4-1e595315e2ad" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-08-27%20at%202.05.03%E2%80%AFPM.png?VersionId=jj0XEud1X1DuLt7_KyElhjMdZGOXmLHP" />

MAYD Founder Todd Mould said North Kirra was increasingly appealing to buyers attracted to the more established, lower-density character of the southern Gold Coast.

"North Kirra presents one of the most compelling luxury residential opportunities currently emerging in Australia, combining absolute beachfront with the character and authenticity that buyers are increasingly seeking, and the same sense of tight-knit community that defined Burleigh and Currumbin perhaps 10 or 15 years ago," Mould said.

"With Gold Coast Airport on its doorstep, it also offers a level of accessibility that broadens its appeal across almost every market demographic."

The project comes as the southern Gold Coast continues to attract an increasing share of high-end apartment development and buyer activity.

Kirra in particular has emerged as one of the region's more tightly held beachfront markets, with its relatively low-density character, established surf and hospitality scene and proximity to Gold Coast Airport differentiating it from the higher-density markets further north.

Mould said those characteristics had informed the approach MAYD and Cera Stribley had taken to the project.

"We've worked closely with Cera Stribley to create a vision that is deeply connected to its surroundings," he said.

"Inspired by the coastline itself, the architecture has been shaped around space, privacy and resort-style living, creating a collection of homes that reflects the next generation of luxury on the southern Gold Coast."

MOTIV Managing Director Carly Cottam, who has been appointed to market the project, said buyer attention had continued to move south along the Gold Coast.

"Purchasers who may once have defaulted to Broadbeach, Main Beach or Surfers Paradise are increasingly recognising the value of a genuine beachfront location that offers lower density, strong amenity and a more established sense of community," Cottam said.

"Kirra has a powerful combination of growing demand and genuine scarcity. Beachfront supply is inherently constrained, the area remains relatively low density, and buyers are increasingly placing a premium on locations that feel established, uncrowded and authentic rather than heavily developed."

Cottam said the proximity to Gold Coast Airport was also proving increasingly important for interstate and second-home buyers.

"Being minutes from Gold Coast Airport makes it particularly compelling for interstate buyers, frequent travellers and second-home purchasers who can access an authentic coastal lifestyle almost immediately after stepping off a flight."

The acquisition takes MAYD's active development portfolio to more than $500 million, with the North Kirra project representing one of its largest undertakings to date.

MAYD is targeting an early 2027 launch.

First look at MAYD's North Kirra mixed-use precinct

<main data-perf-region="main">
Castle Hill, the longtime hub of the Hills District, has been one of the major beneficiaries of Sydney's Metro expansion, with improved connectivity helping drive continued population growth, development and buyer demand across the Hills District.

But despite that growth, the suburb has seen relatively few major new apartment projects brought to market over the past 18 months.

Hills District developer Reve Group is looking to fill that gap with <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/nova-r-ve-castle-hill-2-garthowen-crescent-castle-hill-nsw-2154">Nova Rêve</a>, a major new mixed-use precinct on the corner of Garthowen Crescent and Old Castle Hill Road, a short walk from Castle Hill Metro Station and Castle Towers.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=152737 project_image_fid=377679]

The project will comprise three residential towers alongside a hotel, restaurants, cafes and a skybar, more than 1,600 sqm of ground-floor retail and almost an acre of landscaped gardens.

It represents the largest project undertaken by Reve Group, the development arm of the Kassis family, which has been building across the Hills District for more than 30 years through Kassis Homes.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=152737 project_image_fid=377675]

Nova Rêve also represents a significant step up from the family's first apartment development, Grand Rêve, which was delivered nearby on Garthowen Crescent.

Grand Rêve introduced larger, house-like apartment layouts and premium inclusions including Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances to the Castle Hill market.

Nova Rêve takes that approach to a precinct scale, combining the residential component with hospitality, retail and substantial public and resident landscaping.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=152737 project_image_fid=377685]

Reve Group Managing Director Sam Kassis said the project reflected the family's three decades of building in the Hills, which has evolved from trophy homes on quarter-acre blocks to larger-scale apartment development.

"Grand Rêve was our first apartment project here and it showed us what this pocket of Castle Hill could be. Nova Rêve is the refinement of that idea: not just apartments, but a place the whole suburb can use," Kassis said.

A key part of that approach is the hotel, which has been designed to operate as an amenity for the wider Castle Hill community rather than solely hotel guests.

It will include restaurants, cafes, skybars and all-day dining, alongside conference and event facilities catering to business functions, community groups and private events.

At ground level, more than 1,600 sqm of shops and cafes will open onto the surrounding streets and landscaped areas.

Almost an acre of gardens designed by Land and Form Studios will run through the precinct, incorporating pathways, seating, barbecue areas and children's play spaces.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=152737 project_image_fid=377680]

Reve Group's Romio Georges said creating an active ground plane had been central to the planning of Nova Rêve.

"There are gardens with pathways, barbecues, seating and play areas, shops and cafes opening onto the street, and a hotel with restaurants and a skybar that anyone in Castle Hill can walk into," Georges said.

The project's elevated position on one of Sydney's highest ridgelines will also provide apartments with outlooks toward the Sydney skyline, surrounding parkland and the Blue Mountains.

More than 80 per cent of the apartments will occupy corner positions, with Turner responsible for both the architecture and interiors.

While overall Sydney unit prices could rise a 1 to 2 per cent, many apartments in areas such as Parramatta, the Hills area, and Botany Bay suburbs like Banksmeadow, Botany, Eastlakes and Mascot could be cheaper in 2017.
<div>
Prices in Hornsby, Cherrybrook, Pennant Hills and Berowra, Ryde and Canterbury could also fall, the Australian Financial Review reported.
The median price of apartments in Melbourne and Brisbane apartment median prices will fall higher next year, BIS Shrapnel's latest Apartments 2016 to 2022 report says.
<div>
Apartment prices in Melbourne were likely to fall by up to 2 per cent and in Brisbane by up to 3.5 per cent.
Inner to middle-ring Sydney suburbs where the number of apartments under construction are higher than their current share of apartment stock were the weakest localities, BIS Shrapnel residential senior manager Angie Zigomanis said.
</div>
</div>
<div>"At first pass, the greatest risks would be in Botany Bay local government area, Ryde LGA, Canterbury LGA, Auburn LGA, Parramatta LGA, Hornsby LGA and Hills Shire LGA," he said.</div>
<div>
"However, we'd then have to overlay whether local factors, such as increased employment in Parramatta and Macquarie Park can justify the extra stock or whether the North West rail under construction will attract more occupants around the proposed stations in the Hills Shire LGA."
"Nevertheless, each of these LGAs are likely to experience softer markets than Sydney overall."
</div>
<div>
"It won't be that big, 5 to 10 per cent tops," Mr Zigomanis said of any fall.
"At the end of the day, Sydney is still undersupplied...but landlords will have a lot of competing stock so they would need to sharpen their pencils to attract tenants."
For houses, BIS Shrapnel said forecast rises in all capital cities except Perth and Darwin.
Sydney and Melbourne house prices could rise by up to 4 per cent.
It suggests Brisbane house prices could gain 2 to 3 per cent.

Inner city high rise apartments are experiencing a growing demand for luxury concierge - almost hotel-style offerings - as buyers look for differentiating factor in Melbourne’s competitive apartment market.
Lendlease is leveraging opportunities in its apartment concierge offerings sensing time poor working professionals, Gen X and Gen Y seek such services to cut down on domestic chores, spend time with their families and improve their personal health and wellbeing.
The head of apartments for Lendlease’s Urban Regeneration business in Australia, Ben Christie, said the resident’s model of customer service was on the rise as buyers begin to prioritise help services when choosing an apartment.
“Buyers are welcoming the future of apartment living by embracing personalised lobby and concierge services.
"We are now seeing purchasers demand more from their building’s amenities, which they have probably underused in the past,” he said.
These services help with move-ins and move-outs and maintenance job.
They sign for deliveries on behalf of residents and even provide personal assistant services such as making dinner reservations, ordering food and reserving tickets.
“The perception that concierge services are only for the wealthy is no longer true.
"These services have become part of a global trend towards outsourcing personal admin tasks.
“Melbourne Quarter is our latest residential development offering concierge services, with the purpose of enhancing the quality of our resident’s living experiences,” he said.
Concierge services on ground and upper ground lobbies will use smart technology systems including online booking platforms, storage systems and digital lifestyle services to connect residents in their community.
“It doubles as a security control and contact point to keep residents safe with two full time concierge attendants seven days a week.
“The quality of a property’s amenities plays a huge role in the clientele it attracts and its rent prices. For investors or owners renting out their property, a high-end concierge and amenity offering can significantly increase rental returns,” said Christie.

Frasers Property Australia has been given the green light by the NSW Department of Planning &amp; Environment to develop the final residential stage of Central Park.
The project includes a 292 apartment mid-rise building in the $2 billion Central Park precinct in Sydney's Chippendale.
Frasers Property Australia is developing block 11, a long sinuous building, stretching along the length of Wellington Street.
A design competition was organised for the building under the 2009 concept plan approval for Central Park and Francis-Jones Morehen-Thorp (fjmt) was selected in October 2013, chosen by a panel that included Lucy Turnbull, then a member of the Sydney Metropolitan Development Authority and Chris Johnson, chief executive of Urban Taskforce.
The final piece in Central Park’s residential offering, Block 11 will complete the delivery of over 2,200 apartments across the 5.8 hectare Central Park precinct which has won several awards for urban planning and revitalisation.
The development incorporates a building, ranging from 8 - 13 storeys in height, which curves in the centre to make space for two new public gardens. It will include a mix of one-bedroom suites, two and three-bedroom apartments and a range of two-bedroom dual-key apartments (planned to be launched in late 2016). The design will also incorporate a small amount of mixed-use ground floor retail as well as a childcare centre with capacity for 90 children.
Central Park project director Mick Caddey said the project delivery team is pleased to receive DA approval for this final residential stage of Central Park.
“At its completion, scheduled for 2018, Central Park will have involved a complex nine-year program of design, planning and construction and we are now approaching the last stages of this multi-staged precinct,” Caddey said.
Richard Francis-Jones, design director of fjmt said the practice’s design for this final residential stage of Central Park introduces a curvilinear and fluid architecture.
“The most critical element of the design is the unique façade, which is designed to integrate the outdoor spaces, such as the loggias and balconies, while providing shading and privacy where required,” Francis-Jones said.
“The building is divided into three individual parts, each with its own unique foyer. The western foyer is located directly opposite Chippendale Green. The central foyer is directly opposite Park Lane and the eastern foyer opens onto the northern landscaped area and retail terrace."
Some of fjmt’s recent projects include the harbour-front apartments at Barangaroo South, the Auckland Art Gallery which won the 2013 World Building of the Year award, the University of Sydney Law School, the Surry Hills Library and Community Centre, and The Mint historic restoration.
Sales and marketing of Block 11 are expected to start in mid 2016.

Final residential stage of Sydney's Central Park development gets nod

Plans are afoot for a 267 apartment residential project in Sydney's north-west. 
Capital Corporation has submitted a development application (DA) with Hills Shire Council for ‘Esplanade’, proposed to be an integrated community comprising 267 apartments across two high-rises, with a host of resident-only facilities, three levels of boutique workspaces, waterfront dining and retail areas.
The DA is the result of a long consultation process with Norwest Association and Council, says Capital Corporation managing director Steve Grant.
“We know and understand Norwest and Bella Vista as a residential area and business park – we were integral in developing that original vision - but what we could see was its future as an integrated lifestyle destination," said Grant.
“We’ve sought input and consulted extensively on our ideas, and overlaid that with what we’ve learnt from our projects in the Fairway Drive area, in terms of understanding the developing family and empty-nester market around Norwest.
The project, designed by architects Turner, will take come up on the waterfront site best known as the location of the Sydney Ice Arena on Solent Circuit, Baulkham Hills.
The Ice Arena is expected to relocate later this year.
“Bella Vista, which sits within Norwest, has always been considered a premium residential area – outperforming beyond anyone’s expectations. People have always looked on it as a high-end neighbourhood," said Grant.
“Esplanade responds to the fact that many families who moved here two and three decades ago are questioning whether the big house and high-maintenance garden is what they want to deal with for the next ten years.
“Moving into a new home, within easy reach of all the things that make daily life more enjoyable is now a real consideration for people living in the suburbs surrounding Norwest,” he says.
The development will have landscaped gardens, a rooftop cinema, a pool and barbecue areas. 
The project also proposes to upgrade the boardwalk on Norwest Lake, expanding the public space at ground level. 
The Norwest station is close and Grant says he is confident that as the M2 and M7 connected Norwest to the rest of Sydney, so too would the Sydney Metro North-West transform the travel experience in the area and link it even more easily to key education, medical and shopping hubs.
“There are some 20,000 people working in Norwest right now with projections that could grow to 35,000. More than 400 companies base themselves here and investors will see the obvious opportunity in locating attainable urban-style living within such a successful employment centre," he said.

The acclaimed New Zealand screenwriter, producer and director Dame Jane Campion is selling her Tamarama apartment.
She bought the 241 sqm investment property for $1.2 million in 2001.  
The listing comes after Campion confirmed she would be co-directing and co-writing a second season of drama series Top of the Lake with the action to be filmed in Sydney and Hong Kong.
