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

Broadbeach apartments

Veteran Gold Coast apartment developer Raptis has considerably altered its plans for their new Broadbeach apartment tower.

Raptis secured development approval for the&nbsp;Koichi Takada-designed The Sterling at 6-8 George Avenue in December last year.

But a mix of changing market conditions and continually growing construction costs have seen the plans altered to get the project in market sooner.

"The approved design, which was first conceived over two years ago, has been subject to detailed investigations in terms of marketability and constructability," the minor change submission to the Gold Coast City Council noted.

"These investigations have determined that the approved product mix is no longer suitable for the current property market both in terms of the type and amount of product proposed.

"More importantly, it has been determined that the approved design is no longer feasible from a construction perspective due to the substantial changes that have occurred within the construction industry in terms of build costs and material supply.

"Given the challenges that have been identified as part of ongoing investigations, it has been determined that the size and scale of the development must be reduced in order to allow for it to progress to the construction phase of the development process."

Raptis is seeking to lob 17 levels off the original 43-level tower. With that will see the apartment numbers drop from 138 to 80, an even split of two and three-bedroom apartments.

<img alt="Raptis Broadbeach" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="78640cb8-217f-40e3-9d99-72cc84c81cf5" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202023-02-16%20at%2010.55.08%20am.png?VersionId=JBsvjRmvrjA0m5B0b8u3DeqhOZBpwi5T" />

"The revised proposal retains the majority of elements contained within the original approval except at a smaller scale, and the reduction in overall building height is accompanied by a reduction to the number of basement parking levels and a reduction to the number of above ground parking levels," the report added.

"The proposal also seeks to make amendments to the external treatment of the towers façade by removing the previously proposed external planters, which have been determined to be extremely difficult to achieve from both a structural engineering and maintenance perspective."

Raptis filed plans for The Sterling in May 2022.

In the design statement, Takada referenced their Sydney project Infinity Square, delivered by Mirvac at Green Square. It&nbsp;had similar lush greenery toward the top end of the tower.

The resident amenity will remain on level three. That will feature a 20 metre pool met with outdoor lounges, a gym and sauna,&nbsp;resident's lounge, kids club, and a communal dining area.

Speaking recently to Raptis Joint Managing Director Evan Raptis, Raptis said the <a href="/news/qld/why-the-gold-coast-apartment-market-is-better-placed-than-ever-before-five-minutes-with-evan-raptis">Gold Coast apartment market is better placed than ever before</a>.

"The city’s economy has matured significantly with investment in health and knowledge, film and creative industries, sports and digital industries," Raptis said.

"The Work from Home movement has enabled professionals to hold national roles and still live on the Gold Coast. You can even have a role in a global team with the international terminal at Coolangatta Airport opening recently."

Raptis says the 2032 Olympics and Paralympics will further promote the Gold Coast lifestyle, with considerable planned infrastructure to transform the wider South East Queensland location.

"The coastal strip will be beamed around-the-world and we’ll see a new wave of global hotel brands wanting to establish themselves here."

Raptis secured development approval for the Koichi Takada-designed The Sterling at 6-8 George Avenue in December last year.

First look exclusive: Raptis to chop 17 levels off The Sterling, Broadbeach apartments

After receiving an unprecedented level of enquiry during the pre-release period over the Christmas holidays, Sunset Residences, the luxury Broadbeach Boulevard apartment tower being developed by joint venture partners Glenvill and QNY Group, has officially launched.

Sunset Residences will comprise just 10 full-floor apartments at&nbsp;21 Broadbeach Boulevard, one of the best spots in Broadbeach offering a rare uninterrupted 270 to 360 degree view corridor that captures panoramic views from Surfers Paradise to Coolangatta as well as the hinterland.

A joint venture from Glenvill Developments, who are behind the $1 billion masterplanned YarraBend development in Melbourne, and Anthony Quinn's QNY Group, have teamed up for the first time to bring someone brand new to the in-demand suburb.

As well as the 10 full-floor apartments, there will be a double-storey beach house with a plunge pool, and a three-level penthouse with a private rooftop terrace.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=111843 project_image_fid=209126]

The 16-level building is designed by prominent architects Contreras Earl Architecture, with the interiors designed by Plus Architecture.

Each single-level residence has three bedrooms, three bathrooms plus a study, with all living spaces and bedrooms enjoying the rare privilege of unimpeded ocean views captured through floor-to-ceiling glass windows.

NPA Projects director Andrew Erwin, who has been appointed to market the development, says the project is an A+ real estate opportunity that speaks for itself.

“Sunset Residences enjoys an idyllic location at one of Broadbeach’s most desired addresses where residents are privy to a beachfront position with direct access to the beach and the Gold Coast Oceanway while living in a quiet, tree-lined pocket with no through traffic,” Erwin said.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=111843 project_image_fid=209980]

“This enviable location so close to Surfers Paradise and Broadbeach combined with exceptional view corridors is unheard of on the Gold Coast, making this panoramic gateway site a Blue-Chip real estate opportunity obtainable for a discerning few.

“This is a boutique project with a limited number of premium residences available that won’t be on the market for long so if you are waiting for a sales centre to be built or for construction to commence you will be likely too late.”

Erwin says locals, interstate, and international buyers showed interest during the pre-release phase of the campaign, earmarking&nbsp;the project as a once in a lifetime real estate opportunity.

“There is genuine interest from investors who recognise this project as prime real estate and there are also buyers who are looking to upgrade and call Sunset Residences home.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=111843 project_image_fid=209982]

Plus Architecture have designed the interiors, while Urbis have been appointed as the landscape architects.

“An A-grade team brings a wealth of experience and expertise to the project,” Erwin added.

“Veteran residential developer Glenvill has spent the last five decades on the forefront of Australian residential design delivering high end luxury residences across the country, including the exclusive billion-dollar master-planned YarraBend development which is currently underway.

“Combine Glenvill’s knowledge and reputation in the residential sector with QNY Group’s invaluable local knowledge, and the expertise of the architect, interior and landscape design teams and you will getting nothing short of an iconic, beautifully constructed, enduring project.”

Full floor residences are available for between $4.35 million and $5.5 million. Construction is scheduled to commence in July 2023.

QNY and Glenvill launch Sunset Residences, Broadbeach apartment tower

When offices emptied in the midst of the pandemic, seemingly only one thought passed through the minds of city dwellers. "Why don't we live on the Gold Coast?"

Recently released census data from the ABS showed&nbsp;the population of the Gold Coast grew from 555,000 to 625,000 over the five years to 2021, an increase of 12 percent. And that figure is expected to be considerably higher as the mass migration continued throughout 2021 and 2022.

At the time of the 2021 census, over 40,000 people in the Gold Coast worked from home full time, which equated to nearly 14 per cent of those surveyed.

The previous census data, from 2016, showed just 15,000 worked from home, which was less than six per cent of the Gold Coast population at the time.

And while COVID lockdowns are a thing of the past,&nbsp;local developer Ayrton Mansi from Amansi Projects believes there is still a high level of expectation working from home is here to stay, and he's made sure he's accomodating those buyers at his recently launched luxury Broadbeach tower, Nineteen First Avenue.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=110953 project_image_fid=209173]

The 37-level building, which will home just 33 apartments, features an extensive work from home level, complete with work suites, a full boardroom, lounge, library, and even an outdoor entertaining space, which has the potential to be booked for both work functions and private parties.

Mansi believes it is essential to provide these unique spaces in high calibre projects like Nineteen First Avenue on the Gold Coast.

“This wouldn’t have been a feature we would’ve remotely considered five or so years ago,” Mansi says.

“It’s very much a sign of the times - but a great one, in my opinion. People are placing a greater emphasis on their work life balance and that’s what this work from home level offers without compromising on the legitimacy of their work.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=110953 project_image_fid=209075]

“If they need to have clients over for a meeting, perhaps, they simply book the boardroom; if they want to entertain them, the outdoor space is perfect.”

NPA Director Andrew Erwin says he's been waiting a while&nbsp;to see a dedicated work from home level as extensive as the one at Nineteen.

“More and more people are working from home these days, coupled with the growth of the gig economy, but usually it's a makeshift office set up in their lounge or bedrooms," Erwin says.

“This is a purpose built WFH level with all the creativity, opulence and practicality of a city styled workplace, it just happens to be in your building so your commute is literally just a trip down the lifts.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=110953 project_image_fid=209074]

Erwin says the inclusion of the WFH floor is in direct response to feedback from buyers who are usually relocating from interstate or looking for a second dwelling and workspace.

“People are moving to the Gold Coast for lifestyle reasons but there’s been a bit of a lag when it comes to accommodating their work needs,” he says.

“Sure, the laptop on the balcony is great for a while but it’s not practical long term and right now, the alternative is heading back to the office. This gives people the flexibility of both worlds so I expect interest to be high.”

The building comprises 33 full floor apartments plus a two level penthouse with four bedrooms, private plunge pool, sunken lounge and fire pit.

The full floor apartments have ‘house like’ proportions sitting at 280 square metres and have been purposely designed to feel like a resort, despite being a residential only building.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=110953 project_image_fid=209073]

Danny Juric, Director at Plus Architecture, says the&nbsp;design was heavily influenced by the natural movement and rhythm of the ocean.

“The action of the waves hitting the sand creates dynamic, overlapping forms and is denoted at the lower levels, while at the higher levels, this transitions into a calmer tower form with façade elements that reference the geometry generated by the wind hitting the water to create a gentle ripple," Juric says.

“The approach we’ve taken with the shared spaces of Nineteen First Avenue is to imagine what it would be like to have a holiday year ‘round."

Descon has been announced as the builder for the project and construction is expected to commence imminently, with completion slated for early 2025.

Mansi believes it is essential to provide these unique spaces in high calibre projects like Nineteen First Avenue on the Gold Coast

Nineteen First Avenue: The luxury Broadbeach apartment tower catering to the work from home trend

Broadbeach's dress circle Surf Parade is set for another high-end apartment tower, with a twist.

Plans have been filed by GPCR Pty Ltd, an entity linked to Panayiota Koukouvas, the co-founder and managing director of popular fashion boutique Sabo Skirt.

While the family's first foray into the development market, they already know a lot about Broadbeach. They have an outlet over in Pacific Fair.

Catering for the owner-occupier, the new tower at 158 Surf Parade, dubbed Sola, will have just 20 three-bedroom apartments across 22 levels.

<img alt="Sola Surf Parade" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="8e7490e1-1d3d-49f6-a1fd-78d6256b4faf" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202023-01-19%20at%209.58.19%20am.png?VersionId=U2g2EHm3TohMe1GH4rw1RZZ4qm39w2Qw" />

The design plans by Prospect Apartment Architecture was to blend the sea and the shore. The tower part of the development was inspired by "sea", the ocean, water, and waves, while the podium acts as "the shore", sand, rocks and vegetation.

"The proposal seeks to sympathetically respond to the existing urban context through it’s high quality architectural expression," Prospect's submission to the Gold Coast City Council suggested.

"The building is orientated towards the East to maximise views of the parkland and ocean, while limiting privacy and overlooking to the neighbouring buildings.

"The slender built form features a considered material palette, layered with screening and expressed slab edges."

<img alt="Sola Surf Parade" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="7474e85c-77d5-448a-96ce-3604ad605c18" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202023-01-19%20at%2010.05.11%20am.png?VersionId=WM_GWRHyi75N0y1up0IfWVlY9CJWQGW7" />

Each apartment in the project will span 200 sqm internally and have three bedrooms, a multi-purpose room, and a kitchen with a butler's pantry. The master suite will have it's own ensuite and walk in wardrobe.

The impressive podium level amenity starts with a full wellness zone, complete with mineral spa and ice pools, a gym, a steam room, and a sauna.

Located separately at the other end of the floor is a covered indoor/outdoor swimming pool and communal deck area.

<img alt="Sola Surf Parade" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="f269c13c-bf41-4aff-b2f0-6fa5784df23c" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202023-01-19%20at%209.58.24%20am.png?VersionId=Bo3jpUysyXSdGcf17Mtj2q.rUQnh4pyg" />

Always a sign that the tower will be delivered to the highest standard, the&nbsp;Kouzoukas family will be retaining a number of apartments for extended family to enjoy.

GV Property Group's Antonio Mercuri and Luke Reaby put the site together. There were six individual owners in the late 1970s building on the 640 sqm site.

Mercuri said Surf Parade and the surrounding streets are developers favourite part of Broadbeach.

"It offers a local beachside community vibe with the Bowls Club, Soccer club, Parklands and playgrounds along with multiple&nbsp;cafes all in the little pocket," Mercuri says.

"This Northern pocket provides a unique offering with open spaces, parklands and world class expansive views.&nbsp;The obvious and one of the best points of the views is that it is 'uninterrupted&nbsp;out to the ocean' plus in the evening&nbsp;you get to enjoy the glitz and glamour of the highrise lights around and up and down the coast."

Surf Parade has been a hotbed for local developers in the last six months.

A few doors down at 152 Surf Parade, Polites Property Group filed plans for a 21-unit tower just before Christmas. Mosaic are currently selling Marella at 146 Surf Parade, and Gallery Group have seen success at their owner-occupier tower Chalk. They're soon to launch Chalk's sister tower, North, to the market. Polycell are also set to start sales of their 170-apartment project Rochester in the coming months.

Bassar Constructions recently finished their Surf Parade project Infinity, which sold out before construction completion.

The project will be on the burgeoning Surf Parade, where the likes of Mosaic Property, Polycell, and Gallery Group are currently developing

First look: Sabo Skirt family file debut Gold Coast apartment tower on Broadbeach's best street

Full-floor apartment projects have been at a premium since COVID-19 drove both locals and interstate buyers to the Gold Coast, seeking the largest apartments on the market.

But for the last six months or so, there's been little to no projects which are catering for the demand which, local agents report, is still very high.

Enter Nineteen, the new luxury address in a unique pocket on the border of Broadbeach and Surfers Paradise.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=110953 project_image_fid=209067]

Local Gold Coast developer Amansi Projects, led by Ayrton Mansi who has&nbsp;a proven track record in successful developments and land acquisitions, has assembled a team of the industry's top consultants to deliver the ultimate coastal living experience in what is being billed as a one-of-a-kind development.

Mansi says residents will experience the best of&nbsp;both worlds at Nineteen.

"You're close enough to all the amenities of which Broadbeach and Surfers Paradise have to offer, without living in the busy city centre", Mansi says.&nbsp;

“The position and aspect of the site inspired the design direction, resulting in a very special, one-of-a-kind, project that would be very hard to replicate on any other site in the surrounding areas.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=110953 project_image_fid=209173]

The sought-after corner site had been tightly held since the 1960s, and has long been admired by developers as having all of the attributes to deliver an unrepeatable apartment development.

The project will sit on an amalgamated 809 sqm block at 17-19 First Avenue, 200 metres to the beach. It's located on the corner of First Avenue and Surf Parade, where the likes of Vue Apartments, Infinity, and The Gallery Residences have been developed in recent years.

"The site provides the convenience of being just minutes away from the luxurious Langham hotel and other great amenities," Mansi added.

Each apartment will span 280 sqm of internal floor space, with the balcony taking the total to 300 sqm. They will have three ensuited bedrooms, a multi-purpose room, and a study. There's also two parking spaces per apartment. Prices start from just under $3 million, a price which is expected to increase as construction gets closer. Completion is slated for early 2025.

The apartments feature timber flooring, stone benchtops, brushed nickel tapware, feature lighting, V-Zug appliances and&nbsp;smart home automation.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=110953 project_image_fid=209073]

The customisable 527 sqm, two-level penthouse offers four bedrooms, two multi-purpose rooms, and its own private terrace with a sunken lounge with firepit and a swimming pool.

Mansi says the project was designed to meet the needs of the downsizing market from the surrounding local suburbs and interstate buyers looking for a luxurious, owner-occupier apartment with all the facilities and amenities to match.

Nineteen will have two levels of resident’s recreation and amenity, featuring a resort style pool and spa, a gymnasium, sauna and steam room and barbeque areas. Designed for modern living, residents will also have exclusive access to work-from-home suites and a boardroom, with a community lounge and library.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=110953 project_image_fid=209075]

Andrew Erwin at NPA Projects, who are exclusively marketing the project, says the market needs a project like Nineteen.

"It's all about getting the size right in these instances, which Nineteen definitely has. To be offering 280 sqm in every apartment, and not be commanding beachfront prices which could be 30 or 40 per cent higher for the same product, is a huge advantage."

Due to the extensive work from home facilities, Erwin believes he'll be fielding enquiry from those who are still able to work remotely.

"The project talks to the gig economy," Erwin says.

"People can live, work and play in Broadbeach, and also do it within their own building. They're only ever likely to share the space with a handful of other residents at any one time. It almost becomes a private office.

Eastview Australia, which has delivered over $2 billion worth of innovative and sophisticated projects on the Gold Coast, has been appointed as the project and development manager.

Full-floor apartment projects have been at a premium since COVID-19 drove both locals and interstate buyers to the Gold Coast

Nineteen at Broadbeach to take advantage of lack of full-floor apartment stock on the Gold Coast

Gold Coast-based QNY Group and veteran Melbourne-based developer Glenvill&nbsp;have received sign off for a boutique apartment project on one of the most revered spots in the whole of Broadbeach.

The first project in the joint venture has become more boutique since its initial plans were submitted to the Gold Coast City Council back in May.

Initially the plans for were 21 apartments across 24 levels at 21 Broadbeach Boulevard. Now there will be just 12 full floor apartments, and a two-level beach house, across 15 levels.

The location of the tower, almost on the corner of Armrick Avenue, which straddles the Broadbeach Bowls Club and Broadbeach Park, and Broadbeach Boulevard, means it can take in uninterrupted views of the beach, capturing a 240-360 degree view corridor from Surfers Paradise to Coolangatta, as well as the hinterland.

<a data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="c5e1c66d-5a24-44b1-a7e4-20d2f4733475" href="/new-apartments/21-broadbeach-boulevard-broadbeach"><img alt="Broadbeach" data-entity-type="" data-entity-uuid="" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202022-11-14%20at%203.53.10%20pm.png?VersionId=.GVWYQwHvuOY.FVkneNn_XRC0ur3DMRZ" /></a>

Designed by prominent architects Contreras Earl Architecture, each single floor residence consists of three bedrooms, three bathrooms, and a study. Plus Architecture has designed the interiors and Urbis has been appointed as landscape architects to ensure the building enhances the look and feel of the leafy Broadbeach Boulevard corner.

QNY Group director Anthony Quinn says, through a collaborative design process, the project team was able to address council’s concerns regarding height, ultimately leading to an outstanding design outcome.

“Our team worked closely in consultation with council officers along with councillors to re-design the building to satisfy council’s initial concerns regarding height, and the result is an even more bespoke residential offering that lends itself to the exclusive position that is 21 Broadbeach Boulevard,” Quinn says.

<a data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="5a75f9bc-1367-4525-8c20-c4261aad18f6" href="/new-apartments/21-broadbeach-boulevard-broadbeach"><img alt="Broadbeach" data-entity-type="" data-entity-uuid="" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202022-11-14%20at%203.54.02%20pm.png?VersionId=zn22SxM.owU95cjpGpNFv6DyLUiQiQJK" /></a>

“There is nothing quite like this site on the Gold Coast given its direct access to the beach and the Gold Coast Oceanway, yet it is tucked away in a quiet, leafy cul-de-sac, uninterrupted view corridor that is only a short distance from the hustle and bustle of Broadbeach and Surfers Paradise.”

NPA Projects has been appointed to market the project, with the official sales launch set for early 2023 and construction scheduled to commence in July 2023.

Glenvill Developments has spent the last five decades on the forefront of Australian residential design delivering high end luxury residences across the country, including the billion-dollar master-planned YarraBend development which is currently underway.

Glenvill Developments CEO Len Warson says the project – Glenvill’s first multi-residential project on the Gold Coast - represents an opportunity never to be repeated in the city.

<a data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="1e2e8f13-bc20-4120-b0eb-4abdfcecda5b" href="/new-apartments/21-broadbeach-boulevard-broadbeach"><img alt="Broadbeach" data-entity-type="" data-entity-uuid="" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202022-11-14%20at%203.53.39%20pm.png?VersionId=QKTMTAZgslVJviIdPSuy5xb6CTC171Bv" /></a>

“The incredibly rare and coveted location of this project has instigated an unprecedented number of expressions of interest already, even without people seeing the design,” Warson said.

“There is significant demand from locals seeking out an opportunity to upgrade, and interstate buyers seeking a safe, secure, and exclusive beachfront apartment offering in this great city.

“The design outcome following negotiations with council is a truly boutique residential offering on arguably the best site in Broadbeach.

“The site commands a stunning building, nothing short of a landmark and that’s exactly what we are creating. The building will be enduring and beautiful and something that both the residents and the local community can be proud of.”

The first project in the joint venture has become more boutique since its initial plans were submitted to the Gold Coast City Council back in May.

QNY Group and Glenvill get green light for revised Broadbeach tower

The Canberra-based developer and builder, Morris Property Group, is not slowing down its Gold Coast apartment development pipeline.

They've just taken their pipeline to over 1,000 apartments across the Gold Coast, lodging plans for a two-tower scheme in Broadbeach, where they have a number of applications&nbsp;on the desks of the Gold Coast City Council.

The first tower along Britannia Avenue will rise 40 storeys, and the second tower along Australia Avenue will rise 27 storeys, a combined 348 apartments across both towers. Both towers will have street frontage to both Britannia&nbsp;and Australia Ave.

The recreation level on level two&nbsp;is split to offer each building its own premium, including a pool, a large amount of open sun deck area, BBQ areas, a resident’s lounge, a gym and an outdoor yoga area.

Both buildings have been designed to offer generous landscaping at ground level and on the recreational area, with a design inspired to harness the green open spaces throughout Broadbeach.

<img alt="" data-entity-type="" data-entity-uuid="" height="1080" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/2022-07-19_24_-_photo.jpg" width="1920" />

The site is approximately 650m to the Broadbeach shopping and dining precinct along Surf Parade and approximately 350m to the beach.

Veteran developer Barry Morris said the sites had a major appeal for being located in one of Broadbeach's best areas.

"Future occupiers will enjoy the peaceful surroundings while remaining close to some of the best amenities in Broadbeach and more or less the Gold Coast," Morris says.

"We’ve been developing in the Gold Coast for over 20 years, and this project will be a significant residential project for the group. We adopted our tried and tested design principles of creating floor plans and amenities with the occupier’s front of mind and ensuring the ability to deliver a premium product.

<img alt="" data-entity-type="" data-entity-uuid="" height="1080" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/2022-07-19_20_-_photo_0.jpg" width="1920" />

‘MPG’s target market is owner occupiers, upgraders, downsizers and investors. Not everyone has $3million dollars to spend and we want to ensure we always provide affordable homes for all to enjoy," Morris added.

MPG secured the amalgamated&nbsp;3,305 sqm site through local development site specialists&nbsp;GV Property Group, who listed 13-15 Australia Avenue Broadbeach for sale last year, a collective sale of 12 individual unit owners that took over three months to put together.

Nine offers from local and interstate developers were received for the site, with Morris Property Group providing the most favourable offer to secure the site.

In the following months, a further two blocks to the north - eight&nbsp;units at 16-18 Britannia and four units at 20 Britannia Avenue were amalgamated and purchased off-market.

<img alt="" data-entity-type="" data-entity-uuid="" height="1080" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/2022-07-19_da_10_1_0.jpg" width="1920" />

The site acquisition and scale for MPG is something that has not been seen before in this pocket of Broadbeach, GV Property Group director Antonio Mercuri noted.

"The site has a lot going for it - two street frontages, unobstructed views down Federation Avenue and an expansive 45m North Facing frontage to Britannia Avenue - it's very clear why MPG had significant interest in securing the site," Mercuri said.

"We are happy to be working with a strong and reputable developer who provides not only ourselves but our vendors with certainty that they can transact on the site and in addition, develop the site into the future.

Morris Property Group currently have Sandbar Burleigh Heads and Essentia Surfers Paradise in the market, with the upcoming project Crest Broadbeach set to launch in the coming months.

Morris Property Group continue Gold Coast apartment pile up with two-tower Broadbeach plans

The prominent South East Queensland developer, Mosaic Property, are readying their second Broadbeach project, following strong early success from their first in the busy Gold Coast suburb.

They've lodged plans for a 26-level, 98-apartment tower at 4 Rosewood Avenue, a site secured following strong demand from their nearby Surf Parade tower, Marella.

Mosaic Property Founder and Managing Director, Brook Monahan, says securing another site nearby Marella&nbsp;was a no brainer.

"This pocket of Broadbeach is incredibly popular and highly desired, being quiet and right opposite Nikiforides Park and offering protected view corridors&nbsp;to the beach as well as up and down the coast," Monahan says.<a href="/new-apartments/lily-by-mosaic-4-rosewood-avenue-broadbeach"><img alt="" data-entity-type="" data-entity-uuid="" height="1088" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/screen_shot_2022-08-02_at_8.11.57_pm.png" width="1732" /></a>

"As indicated by the sheer volume of interest generated in Marella to date, the appetite for premium Mosaic product in this location is potent.

"Much like we secured Dawn's site in Mermaid Beach following Bela by Mosaic's sell-out, this second site metres away on Rosewood Avenue will provide further opportunity to meet this demand.

"At the same time, it will deliver much-needed housing diversity to help battle the genuine under-supply crisis in the region."

<a href="/new-apartments/lily-by-mosaic-4-rosewood-avenue-broadbeach"><img alt="" data-entity-type="" data-entity-uuid="" height="1088" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/screen_shot_2022-08-02_at_8.11.49_pm.png" width="1732" /></a>

Mosaic again had Plus Architecture create the tower to compliment Marella, In their design statement, Plus said the two towers are&nbsp;designed to be in partnership, boasting slight difference in tone and form whilst sharing similar characteristics.

"They will harmoniously co-exist, complimenting one another to enhance the Broadbeach skyline," Plus note.

Again the tower will provide a good mix of density, with more affordable product than Broadbeach has possibly seen over the last few years. Around two thirds of the tower will be two-bedroom apartments, ranging from 100 sqm to 120 sqm.

<a href="/new-apartments/lily-by-mosaic-4-rosewood-avenue-broadbeach"><img alt="" data-entity-type="" data-entity-uuid="" height="944" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/screen_shot_2022-08-02_at_8.37.39_pm.png" width="1506" /></a>

There will be 28 three-bed apartments, which span 165 of internal space, and six sub penthouses.

Resident amenity is located on the ground level and will feature a&nbsp;pool, wellness centre with steam and sauna, and barbecue areas with outdoor dining and lounge areas. Monahan says the&nbsp;scale, aesthetic, and extensive range of hotel-like amenity is on par with Marella.

The project isn't expected to launch until early 2023.

GV Property Group sold both of the sites to Mosaic.

First look exclusive: Mosaic set for second Broadbeach apartment tower after success around the corner

The Melbourne-based Little Projects is set for its third Gold Coast apartment development.

Having secured all of the sales in their one per floor tower Aperture in Broadbeach following the sell out of Signature, Little Projects, led by Leighton Pyke, are sticking to Broadbeach.

They&#39;ve filed plans, in a joint venture with the fellow Melbourne-based developer R.Corp,&nbsp;for another high-end&nbsp;tower at 118 Old Burleigh Road, with 33 apartments across the 37 levels&nbsp;on the corner of Old Burleigh Road and Australia Avenue. It will tower over the neighbouring Ocean Royale and Boulevard Tower, which are 16 and 17 levels respectively. They are also more focused on short-term accomodation apartments, whereas the new project, dubbed One Australia, will be another by Little Projects targeting the high-end owner-occupier.

<a href="/new-apartments/enclave-by-graya-118-old-burleigh-road-broadbeach"><img alt="" height="788" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/screen_shot_2022-07-14_at_10.55.16_am.png" width="1126" /></a>

DKO Architecture has put forward the designs for the slender tower, which will have full floor apartments, with 218 sqm of living space, from level two to level 33. Above will be a three-level penthouse with its own rooftop pool.

In their design statement, DKO noted they were&nbsp;inspired by two main concepts.

&quot;The first one is the idea of le estate or the Italian summer - the ideas of relaxation, inspiration and escape,&quot; DKO wrote in their submission to the Gold Coast City Council.

They said Italians pretty much own the concept of a long summer.&nbsp;

&quot;It is a tradition that is absorbed by its people.

&quot;August is the &ldquo;off&rsquo; month par excellence, especially in the days surrounding Ferragosto, a public holiday that takes place on 15 August.

<a href="/new-apartments/enclave-by-graya-118-old-burleigh-road-broadbeach"><img alt="" height="804" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/screen_shot_2022-07-14_at_10.54.59_am.png" width="916" /></a>

&quot;For two to three weeks, the country shuts shop: companies stop operating while employees escape to the beach.

&quot;Cities become ghost towns while seaside resorts bustle at a laid-back pace.&quot;

DKO said the&nbsp;second concept draws on a strong modernist language and tradition, which is historically related to a strong European, and Italian, architectural tradition, and also closely linked to a sense of classical and timeless proportions and architectural detailing and language.

&quot;The building is conceptualised as a tripartite structure, a piece of paradise suspended between the context of sand and sea, and the sky which floats above in the shape of a tower,&quot; DKO added.

The extensive amenity is located on the first level above the podium.

&quot;It is envisioned as a place of escape from daily life, a suspended place of peace and quiet,&quot; DKO say.

The communal zone is book-ended by a pool towards the ocean end and an indoor/outdoor exercise zone towards Old Burleigh Road. In between, there are a series of smaller spaces including a co-work zone, residents lounge and a tucked away outdoor room which is elevated and provides views over the entire communal zone as well as views along Old Burleigh Road.

<a href="/new-apartments/enclave-by-graya-118-old-burleigh-road-broadbeach"><img alt="" height="754" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/screen_shot_2022-07-14_at_10.54.27_am.png" width="846" /></a>

Broadbeach is one of the most popular suburbs for both developers and buyers in 2022. A number of Queensland&#39;s most high profile developers have lodged plans for both high and low density towers,

Mosaic has just filed plans for their first tower, and recently secured a second site around the corner for another project expected to launch this year. Anthony Quinn, in a joint venture with Glenvill, filed for an owner-occupier focused tower a few doors down on Old Burleigh Road, and while Morris Property Group have a few high and low density projects on the horizon in the suburb.

Little Projects secured the 690 sqm site through GV Property Group&#39;s Antonio Mercuri and Luke Reaby, who got the owners of the two-storey walk-up, around 40 years old, to band together the sell the prime site.&nbsp;

GV&nbsp;had over eight offers for the site from both local and interstate developers.

&quot;It&#39;s a complex site that was best suited to veteran developers and ones with local knowledge and experience,&quot; Reaby says.

&quot;The architecture and design has capitalised on the&nbsp;expansive&nbsp;43m frontage down Australia Avenue - taking advantage of the views of the water.&quot;

&quot;The shape of the site lends itself to a very unique design where each full floor apartment provides nearly 360 degrees of facade.&quot;

Reaby notes there are no beachfront&nbsp;projects in Broadbeach that aren&#39;t sold out and One Australia fills a much needed demand.

First look exclusive: Little Projects set for third Broadbeach apartment development with R.Corp joint venture

Gold Coast apartment seekers are set for a new chance to buy into the sought-after Broadbeach area, with Amaya, a new 33-level tower just 300 metres from the beach, set to launch.

The Canberra-based national residential property developer Amalgamated Property Group were given the green light by the Gold Coast Council this week to push on with the DBI designed development at 30 First Avenue.

There will be a range of two and three bedrooms on offer, with floor to ceiling windows and large balconies.

Amaya marks a return to the Gold Coast, and Broadbeach market for APG, who has previously created the Old Burleigh Road tower Verve.

Graham Potts, Principal and Founding Director Amalgamated Property Group, said the new Broadbeach development signals the group's continued growth across Australia.&nbsp;

“We’re excited to be re-entering the Queensland market with this modern blend of luxury and lifestyle&nbsp;in the heart of Broadbeach," Potts says.

"Celebrating the quintessential Gold&nbsp; Coast lifestyle, Amaya showcases our desire to create homes that meet a genuine&nbsp;need in the market.

“We’re extremely selective with our site locations and are committed to supporting developments that add value to a city’s urban infrastructure which is exactly what Amaya does for the Broadbeach region.

DBI designed the Amaya with a distinctive exterior, which will feature&nbsp;individual designs for its&nbsp;east and west façades that facilitate maximum outlook opportunities and internal efficiencies. By night, the north and south faces will depict an elongated glass lantern.

Amaya will boast state-of-the-art resident-only facilities including a gym, sauna, steam room, pool, BBQ and patio, with a connection to nature established through extensive green, outdoor spaces with resort-style zones.
