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.

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.

Nova Rêve arrives as Reve Group bets on Castle Hill's next growth phase

A collection of just 25 large-format apartments and penthouses overlooking Goodwin Park is entering the Coolangatta market, with <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/marea-residences-coolangatta-27-27a-dixon-street-coolangatta-qld-4225">Maréa Residences</a> combining a low-density, residential-only approach with uninterrupted park and Pacific Ocean outlooks.

Located at 27 Dixon Street, Maréa comprises three and four-bedroom residences alongside a limited number of dual-level penthouses, with the project positioned between Goodwin Park and <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/coolangatta-qld-4225">Coolangatta</a>’s coastal precinct.

Construction has commenced, with completion currently estimated for late 2027. Three-bedroom residences are priced from $1.8 million.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=150999 project_image_fid=374005]

The project has been designed around its northern outlook across the park, with the building’s architecture, landscaping and material palette intended to establish a connection with the neighbouring green space. The residences have been configured to maximise natural light and views across Goodwin Park towards the ocean.

Inside, the material palette incorporates timber, stone and brushed brass, complemented by curved detailing and ambient lighting. Kitchens and bathrooms carry the same natural material approach, while residences also include basement parking, storage and lift access.

Maréa’s penthouses are arranged over two levels and include private pools, adding another layer to the project’s focus on larger-format apartment living. Across the development, residences are configured with three or four bedrooms rather than the broader mix of smaller apartment types commonly found in larger projects.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=150999 project_image_fid=374010]

Resident amenity is concentrated at rooftop level, where landscaped entertaining terraces and pools take advantage of elevated views across Coolangatta and the Pacific Ocean.

The project has so far been particularly well received by local owner-occupiers and downsizers, according to Urban Activation Property Sales and Marketing Director Matt George, with the residential-only format, construction quality and northern park outlook among the features resonating with purchasers.

“The uninterrupted northern aspect overlooking Goodwin Park has been a key point of difference, with buyers attracted to the sense of serenity and open space the park provides, while still enjoying easy access to the ocean and being within walking distance of the lifestyle and amenities Coolangatta has to offer,” George said.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=150999 project_image_fid=374002]

“The combination of high-quality construction, a residential-only building, park outlook and proximity to the beach has resonated strongly with the local downsizer market.”

The Dixon Street address is within walking distance of Coolangatta Beach and the broader southern Gold Coast coastline, including the surf breaks at Snapper Rocks and Kirra. Coolangatta’s cafés, restaurants and retail are nearby, while Gold Coast Airport is also within close proximity.

Maréa Residences brings parkside apartments to Coolangatta

Melbourne developer PDG has secured Victorian Government approval for its $1.5 billion Southbank development <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/the-one-1-queens-bridge-street-southbank-vic-3006">The One</a>, clearing the way for the long-dormant riverfront site opposite Crown to finally be developed.

The Minister for Planning has approved the project at 1-29 Queens Bridge Street, with the Department of Transport and Planning issuing the planning permit following its assessment.

The approval will allow PDG to develop the prominent 5,059 sqm site with a major mixed-use tower comprising premium apartments, including branded residences, a luxury hotel and boutique office space.

PDG acquired the site in late 2024, with its position directly opposite Crown's main entrance and near Melbourne's Arts Precinct making it one of Southbank's most significant remaining development opportunities.

<img alt="PDG" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="3933013e-6332-4386-b9be-089df05caf17" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-08-27%20at%209.29.22%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=sITIgBqDL0N3VNSMwWEmF5UA.uvcsRyu" />

Designed by COX in collaboration with ODO and PDG, the tower's architecture draws on the movement of the Yarra River, with six vertical pleats running the height of the sculpted facade.

The project will also see the heritage-listed Queens Bridge Hotel restored and incorporated into the development&nbsp;with new hospitality and public uses, including a rooftop venue.

A significant component of The One will be its residential amenity.

More than 5,000 sqm of resident facilities will be delivered across a single level, making it one of the largest consolidated residential amenity offerings proposed in an Australian apartment development.

The planning approval also incorporates a major upgrade of Queensbridge Square, which PDG will deliver in partnership with the City of Melbourne.

<img alt="PDG" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="73167fcd-1031-4b6f-a408-a064cfe45ed1" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-08-27%20at%209.29.17%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=Pf1AEWxw6SNmBqR0zQW5lyEze.MtxgFp" />

The existing square will be revitalised as a new civic and pedestrian space along the Yarra River, strengthening the connection between the project, Southbank and the riverfront.

PDG Founder and Managing Director Vince Giuliano said the approval represented a major milestone for a site which has remained largely underutilised for more than 15 years.

“This is the most significant Planning Permit approval Melbourne has seen in recent years,” Giuliano said.

“For more than 15 years, this site has remained underutilised. This approval enables us to deliver a project that will contribute meaningfully to the revitalisation of Southbank, restore and reactivate an important heritage building, and create a new civic and hospitality destination for Melbourne.”

The latest approval follows an earlier planning permit issued by the City of Melbourne covering demolition works across part of the site at 9-29 Queens Bridge Street. Those demolition and early works are already underway.

PDG has also started generating early interest in the residential component from owner-occupiers ahead of a planned public launch in early 2027.

PDG secures approval for $1.5bn Southbank apartment development, The One

Local developer Harridan is seeking to turn its Woolloongabba apartment project into the first stage of a broader transformation of Burke Street, using a new 16-storey mixed-use building to establish a greener pedestrian connection toward the rapidly evolving Boggo Road transport and knowledge precinct.

The South East Queensland developer has filed plans for 154 apartments on the <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/4-burke-street-woolloongabba-qld-4102">southern side of Burke Street</a>, where its proposal has been designed alongside a wider vision by LatStudios for the street.

That vision positions the southern side of Burke Street for buildings of 15 storeys and above, while envisaging lower-rise development of up to five storeys on the northern side to transition into Woolloongabba's existing character housing. It also proposes wider pedestrian verges, deep planting, new street trees and upgrades to the pedestrian approach to Boggo Road Station.

The Harridan development itself has been designed by Brisbane-based Arqus Design and will comprise 154 apartments across 16 storeys. The mix is weighted heavily toward two-bedroom apartments, with 121 proposed alongside 10 one-bedroom and 23 three-bedroom residences. There will typically be around 14 units per floor.

A lower-ground car park and three podium levels will accommodate 156 resident parking spaces, along with visitor and commercial parking. There will also be 154 resident bicycle spaces and 40 visitor bicycle parks.

&nbsp;

Harridan is a family-owned developer and part of the Holmwood Highgate Group, with more than three decades of development activity across South East Queensland. Its portfolio spans residential, commercial and industrial property, with current residential projects including Riverbank on Byron in Bulimba, Esperance Residences in Carina and The Precinct at Kinross Road in Thornlands.

Wooloongabba has been popular for apartment developers, particularly since the announcement of the 2032 Summer Olympics games in Brisbane.

While there have been a lot of development applications, it has failed to materialize into real supply.&nbsp;

Sarazin has been the major player in the area. They are under construction at Murcia Residences, on the fringe of East Brisbane and Woolloongabba. They have just launched <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/the-stanley-residences-woolloongabba-8-trafalgar-street-woolloongabba-qld-4102">The Stanley Residences</a>, in Woolloongabba on Trafalagar Street. They also have Nuage coming soon on the nearby <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/nuage-woolloongabba-14-wellington-road-woolloongabba-qld-4102">Wellington Road</a>.

A newly built bathing box, built by the local council, at Brighton has been sold at a record price.
It was listed through Nick Johnstone Real Estate agent Alan McGillivray for weekend auction.
Given its location on the strip, a cautious mid-$200,000s price guidance was being given for Box 85.
But it sold on Saturday for $326,000.
The orange and yellow striped box, number 85, smashed the previous records when $295,000 was set in early 2016 and mid-year when <a href="https://www.realestate.com.au/property-house-vic-brighton-122566182" target="_blank">bathing box 44</a> sold at $307,000.
The Herald Sun reported the auctioneer Nick Johnstone told the crowd only three more of the boxes will be built.
There were three bidders with it knocked down to Brighton East resident Warren Kerr, a father of three daughters.
There are far cheaper ones for sale, especially at Rosebud.

Seccull House, the modernised, acclaimed Guilford Bell designed home in Brighton remains listed through the Kay &amp; Burton agent Darren Lewenberg.
Offers in excess of $9 million for the home of cardiologists Martin Hiscock and Silvana Marasco were initially sought in early spring.
Now its offers around $8.8 million.
The couple are only the third owners of the home.
<img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/c_scale,w_580,q_auto:good/https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/po.images/2016/12/14/Brighton.jpg" alt="">
It was built for William and Elaine Seccull in 1972.
Considered one of Bell's most important works, <a href="https://www.realestate.com.au/property-house-vic-brighton-123966306" target="_blank">Seccull House</a> was renovated by Martin and Silvana with the help of Bell's younger business partner Graham Fisher.

Seccull House, Brighton for sale with $8.8 million hopes

The retired St Kilda champion Lenny Hayes sold his Brighton home at weekend auction, amid the bumper pre-Christmas auction rush where buyers lapped up the offerings.
Next Saturday sees record volumes for the near-final Saturday before Christmas, though at least one Sydney vendor will be trying their luck on December 24, Christmas Eve.  
<a href="https://www.realestate.com.au/sold/property-house-vic-brighton-124136314" target="_blank">Hayes’ three-bedroom house</a> fetched $2.901 million as five bidders competed for the 1920s offering that last sold at $2.25 million in 2010.
His former teammate Nick Riewoldt was spotted by Domain among the crowd who watched the property soar $200,000 above reserve through Kay &amp; Burton agent Michael Armstrong.
It was commonly viewed as a knock down on its 700 sq m block overlooking Elsternwick Park.
Hayes returned home to Sydney to join Greater Western Sydney as an assistant coach last year.
Melbourne's top sale was $5.1 million at 13 St Vincent Place, Albert Park. The five bedroom 1870s Belgrave Terrace fetched $600,000 above reserve price at its Marshall White auction.
It last sold at $900,000 in 1996.
The top sale across Australia was $5.6 million at Russell Lea in Sydney's inner west.
The waterfront reserve home was offered for the first time in 50 years, selling agent Adrian Sereni from Warwick Williams Real Estate said.
A two bedroom Thomastown villa in Melbourne's northern suburb was the nation's cheapest with Ray White securing $262,750.
The single storey unit with courtyard and covered carport last sold at $32,750 in 1982.
The block's previous highest sale was $250,000 in 2009 and its most recent was $240,000 in 2015.
”Auction activity does not appear to be slowing through the festive period, with auction numbers reaching the highest level since March earlier this year," CoreLogic's Kevin Brogan noted.
There were 3,411 auctions held, returning a preliminary clearance rate of 74.6 per cent, up from last week’s 72.3 per cent.
 <img src="/images/2016/12/12/Brighton.jpg" alt="">
It sits substantially higher than the equivalent period last year when it dipped during December to 58 per cent.
"The combined capitals clearance rate has been tracking above 70 per cent consistently over the past 20 weeks, with the clearance rate has been higher than 75 per cent over eleven of the past twenty week’s," Kevin Brogan noted.
The last time the combined capital city clearance rate was tracking over 70 per cent over the given period was in 2009.
Across Australia’s two largest markets in Sydney and Melbourne, clearance rates rose this week, with preliminary results showing 77.4 per cent and 80.2 per cent respectively.
Melbourne's preliminary auction clearance rate of 80.2 per cent came from the 1,683 auctions compared with the week prior when the final clearance rate tally was recorded at 77.3 per cent across 1,416 auctions.
"This time last year, 1,572 properties were taken to auction across Melbourne and a clearance rate of 64.9 per cent was recorded," he noted.
The busiest Melbourne sub-regions this week were Melbourne’s Inner region and the Inner South region, where 337 and 214 auctions were held respectively.
Sydney’s preliminary clearance rate this week was 77.4 per cent across 922 auction results. There were a total of 1,157 auctions held across the city.
"This is higher than the corresponding week last year, when 891 auctions were held across Sydney and a clearance rate of 54.7 per cent was recorded."
North Sydney and Hornsby hosted the most auctions of any Sydney sub-region this week, with 177 properties taken to auction. 
There were 203 Brisbane auctions with a preliminary clearance rate of 48.1 per cent, higher than the 42.7 per cent recorded last week across 204 auctions, and also higher than one year ago when there were 180 auctions with a success rate of 41.9 per cent.
Adelaide recorded a clearance rate of 66 per cent across 151 auctions.
Perth’s preliminary clearance rate sat at 26 per cent.
Canberra’s preliminary auction clearance rate of 64.9 per cent this week is higher than last week, when the final auction clearance rate was 60.6 per cent and also higher than the 48.6 per cent recorded last year. 
Next Saturday, Melbourne will host more than 1000 auctions, which will be the highest final weekend offering for the city on record.
Domain's senior economist Dr Andrew Wilson says Sydney will host well over 600 auctions next Saturday, which is also the highest final weekend offering for the city on record.
The only known December 24 auction is at Leumeah.

All the attention has been on Shane Warne's $14 million plus buy-back in Brighton, so the bayside's second highest sale has gone through the slips.
It has emerged that the travel industry veteran Andrew Burnes, who heads Helloworld, and his wife Cinzia, have recently spent $13.5 million on a 1910 home.
They head a network of more than 1600 travel agencies which is an amalgamation of Harvey World Travel, American Express Travelscene, Jetset, and AOT, the travel firm he founded.
The home was marketed by JP Dixon as one of the last great period estates of the Golden Mile, although the slate-roofed, red-brick Edwardian home, with a glass-tiled pool and grass tennis-court on 2460 sqm does have a James Rigney contemporary update amid Paul Bangay gardens.
It had been home of the late Vince Chiodo who sold motorcycles. 
Burnes, who co-founded the Australian Outback Travel firm in 1987 is the honorary treasurer of the federal Liberal Party.

HelloWorld boss buys in Brighton

<html><body>
Richmond star Jack Riewoldt has listed his Brighton home as he and fiancee Carly Ziegler look to upsize.
The Tigers forward bought the property in 2011 and renovated the three bedroom bungalow.
“It was a deceased estate when we bought it in February 2011, so we’ve updated quite a bit,” he told the Herald Sun.
“We’ve stripped the old carpet out. We’ve taken out all the old joinery and put in a brand new galley-style kitchen. The floorboards have been reinvigorated, which are now quite a feature.
“The dining area has been completely opened up and we’ve put in a set of French doors to the outside.
"The backyard has north-facing light, which is great. There’s even a little hammock hook at the back door which, when you rig it up, catches all the sunshine. 
The childhood sweethearts from Tasmania are looking to buy something bigger. They hope the sale will pay for the wedding.
He says the couple plans to stay in the neighbourhood.
Buxton Brighton agents Matthew Pillios and Andrew Campbell have an auction date of November 12. It's expected to fetch more than $1.5 million
