Perth’s new apartment market recorded its strongest quarter of sales since Q4 2021, with 412 apartments sold in Q1 2026 and a record quarterly sold value of $537 million, according to Urbis’ latest Apartment Essentials results.

Urbis said the March quarter result reflects strong, highly product‑specific demand across both ends of the market, from more attainable projects delivering at scale, through to premium stock being absorbed by equity‑rich downsizers.&nbsp;

David Cresp, Partner at Urbis, said the key story in Perth is not demand, it is the market’s ability to convert demand into delivered housing.&nbsp;

“This is the strongest sales quarter since Q4 2021, and it reinforces that demand in Perth is real and it’s local,” David Cresp said. “But the task now is delivery, turning that demand into projects that can actually be built and completed.”&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=110291 project_image_fid=302785]

<h2>Affordable product leads, premium demand remains resilient</h2>

Sales in Q1 were led by more affordable projects, with The Boulevard (SKS Group) recording 115 sales in the quarter, the presentation noting this is only the second time a single project has surpassed 100 quarterly sales. The project was able to offer more affordable housing product right next to a train station.&nbsp;

Palmyra West (Finbar) also delivered strong results with 28 sales in Q1, following 84 sales in Q4, with an average price of under $800,000, underscoring depth of demand for well‑located, attainable new stock.&nbsp;

At the premium end, Urbis said downsizer demand is continuing, with the results highlighting Romeo (Applecross, Finbar) recording 75 sales and reaching almost 50% sold in one quarter.

Jual (Shenton Park, Celsius Property) also posted a strong quarter with 28 sales, reaching 39% sold in one quarter.

Urbis noted that Perth apartment demand is not speculative, not investor‑led, and not uniform, describing it as localised, often equity‑driven and highly product‑specific, a pattern reflected in the polarisation between strong “attainable” performers and premium downsizer product.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=148957 project_image_fid=364102]

<h2>Prices underpinned by costs, and the delivery risk is growing</h2>

Urbis said pricing pressure is cost not demand‑driven: construction costs and delivery risk are now a central constraint, with the results noting build costs remain elevated and volatile, and that energy, fuel and labour uncertainty weigh on feasibility.

David Cresp said a growing challenge for private Build‑to‑Sell developers is simply securing a builder in the current environment.

“Developers are really feeling the pressure from a building market that was operating at capacity and securing a builder is challenging,” David Cresp said, adding that even where a builder can be secured, “trying to get to the price that makes the development financially viable is incredibly challenging in the current market.”&nbsp;

Urbis’ broader WA commentary also notes that industry remains at or above capacity with lot and housing creation, and that many builders are limiting new sales to manage stretched workforces and fixed‑price contract pressures, conditions that flow directly into apartment feasibility and delivery timing.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108869 project_image_fid=317905]

<h2>Supply: improving later, but still constrained, and Perth lags eastern benchmarks</h2>

While near‑term supply remains constrained, Urbis’ forecast shows completions lifting “Supply is forecast to be back above 1,500 apartments per annum for the first time since 2019”, with 1,775 completions forecast for 2026, and volumes remaining above that level over the following years.&nbsp;

Looking further ahead, completions are forecast to reach 2,500 in 2028, with the report noting 32% of that total is social/affordable, reflecting the role of government‑supported delivery in rebuilding the pipeline.&nbsp;

However, Urbis said Perth remains behind comparable markets on pipeline scale. In a national comparison of projects under construction, the report shows under construction Perth Build‑to‑Sell (BTS) at 3,446 apartments versus the Gold Coast at 7,922. Mr Cresp said “The challenge for Perth is how to we grow the delivery pipeline”.

Urbis’ conclusion is that Perth’s market is increasingly defined by product discipline and delivery certainty, with the research identifying “delivery certainty is key” and calling out builder risk and procurement models as core success factors, alongside “timing and staging”.&nbsp;

Perth apartment sales hit strongest pace since late 2021 as builder capacity tightens

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/sammut-developments">Sammut Group</a> has secured development approval for its latest Brisbane apartment project, marking the Sydney developer’s next step in expanding its Queensland pipeline following the success of its debut Gold Coast development, Coast.

The approved project at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/44-glen-road-toowong-qld-4066">44 Glen Road, </a><a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/toowong-qld-4066">Toowong</a> will deliver a 15-storey riverfront apartment building with 42 residences, significantly increasing the scale of the site’s previous approval for a smaller luxury scheme. Designed by Bureau^proberts, the development will comprise a mix of predominantly four-bedroom and two-bedroom apartments positioned to maximise Brisbane River and city views.

Sammut Director Julian Sammut said the group had been actively searching Brisbane for several years before identifying Toowong as the right fit.

“Brisbane was the right step for Sammut,” Sammut said.

“With the success of Coast we thought we should definitely look to do more in Queensland alone. We then pushed up to look at Brisbane. We've been looking for I'd say two to three years actually and it was hard to find the right location.”

<img alt="Sammut makes Brisbane apartment play" data-entity-type="" data-entity-uuid="" src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/f_auto,c_limit,w_1440,q_75/https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/field/image/Screenshot%202025-12-23%20at%203.27.14%E2%80%AFPM.png?VersionId=dYAVIL7qdcGA8ojvkslSrLjczXFejSSx" />

Sammut said suburbs including New Farm and Teneriffe were considered before the group ultimately focused on Toowong due to its strong downsizer demographic and limited supply of developable riverfront land.

The site was acquired off-market after what Sammut described as a lengthy negotiation and planning process, with the developer pursuing an uplift to the original approval.

“We are DA approved now which is very exciting,” Sammut said.

“We've had our change approval come through and we've obviously doubled the height, 15 storeys plus rooftop. We've got 42 amazing apartments that are going to be coming to market soon.”

<img alt="Sammut makes Brisbane apartment play" data-entity-type="" data-entity-uuid="" src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/c_scale,w_580,dpr_2.0,q_auto:good/https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202025-12-23%20at%203.27.26%E2%80%AFPM.png?VersionId=ohkRkY0dIZlqdfME2EZePsCQavRiBadE" />

Bureau^proberts said the design responds to Toowong’s evolving urban character, balancing contemporary apartment living with the area’s established residential identity.

“A place where traditional Queensland living has taken place for centuries; Toowong is seeing a shift of contemporary influence, commercial and retail hubs mixed with well-considered residential offerings – all the while maintaining its character and charm,” the architect noted in planning documents submitted to Brisbane City Council.

The architecture practice said the project’s form was shaped by its riverfront setting, flood considerations, neighbouring building scales, and view corridors.

“They said the mix of four and two-bedroom apartments capture the ‘fundamental qualities of Queenslander living,’ translated into the context of a contemporary subtropical building.”

The development sits just off Coronation Drive within walking distance of Toowong’s retail precinct and the upgraded Regatta ferry terminal, while also benefiting from proximity to the incoming green bridge connection to West End. Sammut said the accessibility and amenity offering were central to the site’s appeal.

The approval adds to growing residential activity along the Toowong riverfront, joining nearby projects including Consolidated Properties’ Monarch Residences and Spyre Group’s ARC Residences.

Sammut secures approval for debut Brisbane apartment development in Toowong

Developer Lanevick is heading back into Sydney’s apartment market after focusing more heavily on the luxury townhouse and terrace sector in recent years.

Lanevick, founded and directed by Steve Maroun, is expecting to receive approval in the coming months for a new apartment development in Gladesville, with the aim to launch it to the market later this year.

The 51-apartment project, designed by Studio Johnston, will comprise a mix of one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments positioned toward the Hunters Hill downsizer market.

“Traditionally it’s been difficult for people in that market to downsize because there just hasn’t been the right product available,” Maroun said.

“We’re targeting buyers who might have 30 to 40 per cent of their house value sitting in the bank after downsizing.

“They still want good spacious entertaining areas, they still want quality design, but they also want flexibility and the ability to enjoy life a bit more after working hard for a long time.”

The project sits near Boronia Park and within close proximity to the Parramatta River foreshore, an area Maroun says offers more of a Hunters Hill lifestyle than a traditional apartment precinct.

“From a lifestyle perspective, it’s really more Hunters Hill than Gladesville,” Maroun said. “You’re close to the foreshore, close to parklands, and still connected back into the village precinct.”

From level four and above, apartments will capture water views&nbsp;toward Sydney Harbour. Communal amenity will include rooftop entertaining areas, wellness spaces, and a gym tailored toward owner-occupier buyers.

“We’ve really designed these apartments around that buyer coming from the Hunters Hill LGA and what they’re actually looking for in their next chapter.”

The proposed development has also been designed to respond to the changing character of the broader Gladesville town centre, where a growing number of mixed-use and residential proposals are expected to emerge over the coming years.

“Gladesville presented a rare opportunity to deliver a genuinely design-led residential project within an evolving lifestyle precinct, just moments from the growing Gladesville town centre, and we’ve approached the project with a strong focus on architecture, liveability and long-term community value,” Maroun said.

Maroun said Lanevick saw a first-mover advantage within the precinct as planning controls continue to evolve to accommodate greater housing density.

“We think there’s a real opportunity there that hasn’t really been serviced properly yet,” he said.

“There’s going to be a broader evolution of the whole Gladesville village precinct over time, particularly with more activation and mixed-use outcomes.”

The Venus Street proposal will include a commercial and retail component at ground level designed to contribute to that evolving streetscape activation.

“A big part of the thinking was how do you activate that area properly and create more vibrancy and amenity, which is what Hunters Hill has been looking for,” Maroun said.

Lanevick’s focus since 2020 has largely been on smaller-scale luxury townhouse and terrace developments. The developer recently completed Royale Randwick, also designed by Studio Johnston, where prices reached $3.65 million. The project was featured in the UDIA NSW 2026 Professional Development Prospectus and was also named a finalist for Development of the Year.

Lanevick to cater for Hunters Hill downsizers with new Gladesville apartment development

Property developer One Living, backed by former Macquarie banker turned investment manager Chris Green’s investment firm, has unveiled plans to bring more institutional capital into housing to help address the national supply crisis.

The New York-based investor has focused his firm, GreenPoint Partners, on addressing the supply shortage hitting middle market housing in Australia.

It is backing the new One Living business to develop more than 1000 units along the eastern seaboard. The new firm is starting with a development on Mona Vale Road, on the border of Mona Vale and Pymble, in Sydney’s Northern Beaches, with around 140 apartments planned. They are eyeing off more sites across the city.

With cost pressures rising in the industry, One Living’s model is to be a vertically integrated developer-builder, so it can respond directly to the housing gap by removing the cost inefficiencies embedded in traditional residential delivery.

“We are building a platform designed to operate at scale and starting in a market where there’s a clear need for quality, attainable housing,” One Living joint managing director Joseph Scuderi said.

“It’s that missing middle – it’s that attainable end of housing… that’s what most Australians invest into and what Australians can actually afford.”

<img alt="Mona Vale" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="798dfa93-4941-4db6-a696-31e9dc18e81c" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-05-28%20at%202.31.50%E2%80%AFPM.png?VersionId=mKBqi5C_DmeiXS.AtJkcR8LQIxqCqmFi" />

GreenPoint Partners brings years of experience assembling and scaling real estate operating businesses across major markets. And Green sees a big opportunity in Australia.

“For its size, sophistication and importance to the community, Australia’s living sector has remained largely under-institutionalised, which represents significant opportunity,” Green said. “GreenPoint identified that gap, assembled the right team, and is backing One Living to build a platform that is aligned to market needs.”

Green said being a builder-developer would give the company the capacity and flexibility it required to deliver reasonably-priced homes.

“We want it to be at that attainable level; not super high end luxury but at that attainable level,” he said.

<img alt="Mona Vale" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="74a5344a-4b26-4d4a-ada3-056b1220be77" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-05-28%20at%202.32.15%E2%80%AFPM.png?VersionId=vY8hXHO4reBMdO8ZXMWCNtGZJofUPQ3j" />

&nbsp;

One Living will undertake a component of affordable housing in its schemes, which it will own and operate, and it could also run build-to-rent on some sites.

Green praised local policy settings.

“The NSW government is being very supportive, strategic and pragmatic in terms of how do we generate more supply of housing,” he said. “We think it’s actually positive for development and the bit that’s been lacking at that attainable level is that it’s lots of relatively small private developers, whereas we want to create an institutional platform.”

One Living is also&nbsp;looking at high-density projects and could take on more institutional funding in the future.

“The way we will be able to achieve economies of scale is through size,” Green added.

One Living enters Sydney's new apartment market with Northern Beaches site acquisition

It's been several years since there's been an opportunity to buy a brand new townhome in Melbourne's coastal suburb of Mordialloc. Even apartment developments in recent times have been few and far between in the area.

Local developer LDS Property identified the gap in new housing, securing a site on White Street, directly opposite&nbsp;Woodlands Golf Club Mordialloc. They've recently launched&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-townhouses/wm-residences-mordialloc-102-white-street-mordialloc-vic-3195">WM Residences</a>, just 13 townhouses which they have already started building.

Projects by Buxton Director Heath Thompson, who is selling WM Residences, says the townhouses x that perfect middle ground be

"Mordialloc residents have had limited options to downsize within the suburb, often forcing them to look elsewhere despite long-standing ties to the area," Thompson says.

"With very little comparable new supply coming to market, projects like WM Residences are well placed, particularly as buyers look to capitalise on current conditions amid constrained supply."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=134646 project_image_fid=6109]

The development, designed by regarded architecture firm&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/ewert-leaf">Ewert Leaf</a>,&nbsp;adopts a deliberately restrained architectural approach, focusing on simplicity, durability and liveability rather than overt design gestures.

The boutique scale is central to the offering. With only 13 three-bedroom residences, each home is configured to prioritise functional layouts and everyday use, supported by private terraces and secure two-car garages.

Ewert Leaf’s design response leans into a calm, neutral material palette. Interiors are defined by oak flooring, white walls and soft finishes, creating a consistent and understated backdrop. The approach avoids trend-driven detailing in favour of longevity, with an emphasis on natural light and spatial clarity.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=134646 project_image_fid=6110]

Beyond aesthetics, the homes are designed to meet contemporary performance expectations. Each residence targets a minimum 6-star energy rating, incorporating double glazing, comprehensive insulation and all-electric Bosch appliances.

The project’s location supports a walkable coastal lifestyle, sitting within close proximity to Mordialloc’s foreshore, Main Street retail strip and the train station. Local cafés and dining venues, including Suburbia Deli and Hendriks Café, are within a short walk, reinforcing the area’s established neighbourhood character.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=134646 project_image_fid=6116]

While <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/mordialloc-vic-3195">Mordialloc</a> is often defined by its beach and pier, the project taps into other areas of day to day living, offering easy access to local food, casual dining and transport, rather than positioning itself purely as a lifestyle retreat.

WM Residences reflects a continued trend across Melbourne’s coastal suburbs towards smaller-scale, design-led townhouse developments, particularly on infill sites where proximity to amenity is already established.

With construction commenced prior to its market entry, the project aligns with a growing preference among buyers for developments with visible progress and defined delivery timeframes.

WM Residences fills gap in Mordialloc townhouse market

BDA Architecture

Local property developers BluePoint Property have once again made their mark on the coveted Palm Beach real estate landscape with their latest residential venture – Seventh Terraces.&nbsp;

The project emerges as the third addition to the group's Palm Beach portfolio, following the 34-apartment East Palm Beach and the 63-apartment SEA Palm Beach.

Seventh Terraces stands as a distinctive boutique project, comprising seven three-level beach homes that face the east, maximising ocean views from private rooftops.

A refined coastal aesthetic defines the homes, featuring upscale finishes that merge beachside living with luxury. Two-car garages, spacious storage areas, and private ground floor courtyards contribute to the allure of the beach houses.

Designed by BDA Architecture, the development's main objective was to diversify housing options within the precinct. The seven townhouses are interwoven amongst apartments and detached residences, fostering a sense of community while retaining individuality. The adaptability shines through in the design's integration of private home-based offices, all while maintaining the privacy of separate entrances and courtyards for neighbouring dwellings.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=89730 project_image_fid=186718]

The interiors of the beach houses exude coastal elegance, characterised by generous open-plan living and dining spaces that seamlessly transition to east-facing balconies. Expansive full-height glazing saturates the interiors with natural light, enhancing the connection to the picturesque surroundings, while a palette of light and stone, engineered timber, oak feature joinery, and brushed nickel accents contributes to an overall sophisticated ambiance that resonates with the iconic beachside setting.

The pièce de résistance of Seventh Terraces is the rooftop terraces. Positioned to capture the easterly panorama, the terraces forge a link with the Pacific Ocean, presenting a serene and awe-inspiring backdrop for residents.

Location-wise, Seventh Terraces enjoys an enviable position approximately 200 metres from the beach in the heart of Palm Beach. Nestled amongst a plethora of Gold Coast's premier dining establishments and cafes, the development is further enhanced by its proximity to the world-renowned Tallebudgera Creek to the north and Currumbin Creek to the south, both acclaimed as top-tier swimming destinations within Australia.

The development's central location aligns with Palm Beach's vibrant spirit, with the recently revamped Pavilions Shopping Centre and an array of boutique shops, medical facilities, and wellness centres all conveniently accessible to residents.

Inside BluePoint Property's third Palm Beach development, Seventh Terraces

The latest apartment development application to the Gold Coast City Council&#39;s desk has been designed by the local architecture firm BDA with inspiration taken from modern racing yachts with foiled keels.

A Sydney-based development has lodged plans for a 15-level apartment project at&nbsp;2919 Gold Coast Highway, Surfers Paradise, which will home just 35 apartments.

The majority of those will be three-bedroom apartments, with a handful of two-bedroom apartments located on the lower levels.

In their design statement, BDA noted that the towers form is a product of the changing floor plates, with the overall mass of the building reducing, the higher it gets.

&quot;This in turn creates an interesting, slender tower and will create visual interest from the surrounding context,&quot; the architecture firm suggested.

There will be three apartments per floor on the lower levels, and two per floor on the upper levels.

The rooftop homes the communal recreation facilities, which include&nbsp;an outdoor BBQ and dining area, residents lounge, lap pool, gym and lounging&nbsp;areas.

&quot;All apartments feature large, north facing balconies that act as outdoor rooms to encourage indoor/outdoor interaction,&quot; BDA say.

A small cafe will sit on the ground level, with exposure to the busy Gold Coast Highway to the west.

The Gold Coast Highway, which runs all the way down the Gold Coast from Mermaid Beach to Bilinga with apartment projects on both the beach side and the west side, has been busy in recent months.

Tim&nbsp;Gurner, alongside financier MaxCap Group, secured&nbsp;1929 Gold Coast Highway in&nbsp;Burleigh Heads, <a href="/news/qld/gurner-secures-burleigh-heads-apartment-development-site-plans-22-level-luxury-tower">with plans to create a 22-level luxury tower</a>.&nbsp;

The $120 million project, which will see 80 apartments created and high end amenity located on the rooftop, will be designed by&nbsp;Gurner&#39;s go-to architect, Warren &amp; Mahoney, who handles all of&nbsp;Gurner&#39;s projects both in Melbourne and on the Gold Coast.

Just up the road, the&nbsp;innovative developer FORME is also set to produce another high quality project,&nbsp;having secured the site behind their Burleigh Heads apartment project, Sea.

New Surfers Paradise apartment tower designed inspired by yachts

Plans have been submitted to the Gold Coast City Council for a&nbsp;new residential apartment development in Palm Beach.

The boutique project at 1245 Gold Coast Highway, dubbed Aqualina, has been lodged by the Sydney-based development firm Emicon, ran by the Saab family.

Aqualina is&nbsp;Emicon&#39;s first project on the Gold Coast, and the first outside of New South Wales. They&#39;ve previously created apartment projects in Parramatta&nbsp;and Umina Beach on the Central Coast, with a number of projects in the pipeline across Sydney.

Emicon was incorporated in November 1994. Prior to this the company had been operating under its previous name of E &amp; G Saab Constructions for over 20 years.

The Gold Coast tower, designed by BDA Architecture, will only home three bedroom apartments, just two on each of its eight levels.

<img alt="" height="672" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/bda_gold_coast_highway.jpg" width="1200" />

The design was inspired by the natural environment of Palm Beach, from the soft edges of the water to the colours of the headlands, the BDA Architecture submission read 
 
&quot;Inspiration also comes from the curved edges of surfboards and the local architectural vernacular.

&quot;The architecture of the proposal is tailored to the coastal, sub-tropical location of Palm Beach.&quot;

The Design Summary

This project offers the opportunity to design an innovative architectural building and provide a higher residential density development along the beach-front of Palm Beach. The nine storey residential apartment building provides a sculptural fa&ccedil;ade which draws inspiration from the surrounding landscape environment.

<img alt="" height="728" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/bda_gc.jpg" width="1200" />

The Site

The site is located at the Northern End of Jefferson Lane, with access currently located off the Gold Coast Highway, between 15th &amp; 17th Avenue, Palm Beach. The site is 756m&sup2; in area and has unobstructed beach-front views. A two storey apartment block currently occupies the site. The site is bounded to the north by a two storey holiday home with a mix of 2, 3 and 9 storey residential buildings further to the north. The site is bound to the south by a two storey block of units and has close walking distance to public transport along the Gold Coast highway corridor.

Overview

Positioned along Jefferson Lane at Palm Beach, the project will enjoy the amenity of the beach-front and close proximity to shops, cafes and restaurants in the Palm Beach precinct. The site has unobstructed views to Burleigh Headland and south to Coolangatta coastline. This project offers high quality residential apartments with two units per floor level. The apartments provided are large liveable apartments that can cater for families and focus on maximising natural ventilation and natural light.

<a href="/developments/gold-coast-qld?source_news_article_id=101611&amp;ref=news_body_link"><img alt="" height="797" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/gc_newest_tile_jpeg_3.jpg" width="1200" /></a>

All apartments are provided with large featured balconies that can be used as an outdoor living room. The two units per floor level provides a low density of only 16 apartments and 48 beds. The ground floor contains vehicle access from Jefferson Lane with visitor parking at grade with access to a two level basement car park, which provides car parking in excess of the planning code requirements. The remaining ground floor houses a clearly defined lobby space and community recreation facilities which contains a pool, pool deck and barbeque area.

Conclusion

This project offers high quality contemporary design that respects the surrounding environment. The imaginative and innovative detailing and built form demonstrates a positive outcome which will enhance the beach-front edge in the Palm Beach precinct.

The tower, designed by BDA Architecture, will only home three bedroom apartments, just two on each of its eight levels.

Mermaid Beach-based BDA Architecture continues to assume a greater presence in the Apartments.com.au Project Database.

On the back of Broadbeach's <a href="/buildings/infinity-33-surf-parade-broadbeach">33 Surf Parade</a> which was <a href="/news/bassar-group-to-test-broadbeachs-luxury-apartment-market-depth">profiled during September</a> as one of Gold Coast's elite apartment towers in waiting, two further apartment developments have been lodged with City of Gold Coast in recent days. The applications cover sites in Surfers Paradise and Broadbeach.

In addition to affirming BDA Architecture's dominant position as the architect of choice on the Gold Coast, the latest applications are also a tick of confidence in resilience of the Gold Coast apartment market.

<figcaption>2763 Gold Coast Highway. Image: BDA Architecture</figcaption></figure>33 Surf Parade aside, The Spot as it has been labelled at 2763 Gold Coast Highway is the second Broadbeach application designed by BDA Architecture and submitted for approval in a matter of days. For Shintaku Australia Pty Ltd, the corner 2,075 square metre site is expected to include apartments and a mini restaurant hub.

360 square metres of ground floor space is spread across three separate restaurant spaces, each of which is framed by distinctive ribbed timber internal spaces.

56 apartments veiled by a distinctive facade sit above the active ground floor. The mix consists of 9 single, 27 double and 20 triple bedroom apartments are supplemented by a gym and yoga space.

In adjoining Surfers Paradise BDA Architecture is responsible for the design of 4 Holborow Close. For Advance Development and Investment Pty Ltd, the mid-rise apartment building has absolute frontage to Nerang River, and this is reflected in the apartment mix. 

Sitting within the Gold Coast Light Rail Urban Renewal Area, the site is earmarked for 27 two bedroom apartments sit beneath a four bedroom penthouse. 324 square metres of communal open space facilities are included, taking advantage of the its riverfront location.

<blockquote>
The building features a traditional architectural treatment of a ‘base’, a ‘middle’ and a ‘top’: Tower Base The tower is suspended over two dramatic angled frames at the entry/recreation deck level; so that the tower itself appears suspended or ‘floating’ above ground.

Tower (‘Middle’) Architecture The tower itself is strongly articulated with vertical planes on the northern and southern elevations, east and western faces feature stronger horizontal treatments with full height glazing and horizontal sun-shading. Tower ‘Cap’ The building is capped with soaring cantilevered roof elements which provide a lightness to the built form, and a separation to the massing of the tower itself.

<figcaption>4 Holborow Close. Image: BDA Architecture</figcaption></figure>The addition of 4 Holborow Close, 2763 Gold Coast Highway and 33 Surf Parade during September has seen BDA Architecture's current project count within the Apartments.com.au Project Database expand to 28 active apartment projects.

Whilst not an absolute count, the 28 current projects are reflective of BDA Architecture's strength on the Gold Coast apartment design market. This equates to almost one in every four projects on the Gold Coast being design by the practice.

Of the active projects on the Gold Coast, Mermaid Beach's <a href="/buildings/mali-residences-4-6-alexandra-avenue-mermaid-beach">Mali Residences</a> is a stand out design, as are <a href="/new-apartments/florian-surfers-paradise-42-monaco-street-surfers-paradise">Edge Monaco</a> and <a href="/buildings/magnoli-apartments-7-nineteenth-avenue-palm-beach">Magnolia Apartments</a>.

BDA Architecture strengthens its Project Database presence with new residential applications

<html><body>
A new skyscraper in Gold Coast's <a href="/new-apartments/broadbeach-qld-4218">Broadbeach</a> is expecting 61 apartments within a sleek 41 storey form.

Developer <a href="/developers/bassar-group">Bassar Group</a> is backing the high end, low density residential project at 22 George Avenue and 33 Surf Parade. Dubbed Infinity Tower, the development will in time be pitted against a host of similarly placed apartment projects in the area that are chasing luxury buyers.

A sample of Broadbeach projects from the Apartments.com.au Project Database reflects the low density configurations of a number of apartment towers that are exclusively chasing well heeled purchasers.

<figure><a class="colorbox colorbox-insert-image" href="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/q_auto:good/https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public//pictures/article-images/image2_17.jpg" rel="gallery-all" title="Slotting in to the Broadbeach scene.

Image: BDA Architecture" width="580"></a>

<figcaption>Slotting in to the Broadbeach scene. Image: BDA Architecture</figcaption></figure>Projects under construction such as <a href="/buildings/vue-broadbeach-10-12-first-avenue-broadbeach">Vue Broadbeach</a> and <a href="/buildings/elysian-185-old-burleigh-road-broadbeach">Elysian</a> maintain on average no more than two apartments per floor. Earlier this year an application for 2 Charles Avenue emerged which seeks to push the envelope for luxury living in Broadbeach.

Christened <a href="/new-apartments/luxe-broadbeach-2-charles-avenue-broadbeach">Class Broadbeach</a> the Charles Avenue location is slated for a 54 storey tower holding only 46 apartments, including 34 full floor three bedroom apartments, five two storey sky homes and a three storey penthouse.

Conversely Infinity Tower is expecting a mix of two, three, four and six bedroom dwellings.

Bassar Group took the application to planning in recent days, hoping to convert the 1,012 square metre corner site into a skyscraper of distinction. Currently the property includes two villas and three units.

<figure><a class="colorbox colorbox-insert-image" href="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/q_auto:good/https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public//pictures/article-images/image3_14.jpg" rel="gallery-all" title="Street level perspective.

Image: BDA Architecture" width="580"></a>

<figcaption>Street level perspective. Image: BDA Architecture</figcaption></figure>The building's form has led to the moniker Infinity Tower, with BDA Architecture employing a curvilinear form above a podium and describing it as an "exciting fluid tower that will be an iconic defining development to energise this precinct of Broadbeach.

The proposed project name is ‘Infinity’ and essentially the tower’s plan shape acknowledges the symbol for infinity – integrating the symbol twice to achieve the tower form. Spatially this curvilinear shape wraps the rectangular apartment structure."

Oversized apartments aside, prospective future residents can expect a full podium level devoted to amenities, as is a section of the skyscraper's roof level.

A point of difference over the tower is an external lighting system that will illuminate the podium and backlight the coloured horizontal fins on the south side of the tower, "ensuring the towers presence in the skyline at night."
