Abadeen has released the whole-floor penthouse crowning its recently completed <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/buildings/park-residences-cremorne-2-sutherland-street-cremorne-nsw-2090">Park Residences</a> development in Cremorne, bringing the near-300 sqm residence to market for the first time.

Occupying the entire top floor of the boutique Lower North Shore development, the penthouse includes 221 sqm of internal living and a 74 sqm wraparound terrace, with a prized north-facing aspect taking in views across Middle Harbour.

The residence has been completed and fully furnished following a collaboration between Abadeen Executive Chairman Justin Brown and internationally recognised interior designer Jack Freeman, Founder and Managing Director of FREEMAN &amp; CO.

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/abadeen">Abadeen</a> and Freeman approached the penthouse as a finished home, sourcing furniture, artwork, lighting and objects from Australia and overseas.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=114246 project_image_fid=378718]

Pieces from Parisian design house Pierre Augustin Rose sit alongside contemporary artworks and bespoke lighting, with Freeman drawing on recent visits to PAD Paris and Salone del Mobile Milano for the final collection.

Brown said the aim was to create a penthouse that felt more like a large-scale private home than a traditional apartment.

"The experience begins the moment the lift doors open. You're welcomed into an elegant dining room before the home opens into an extraordinary living space framed by sun-drenched harbour views.

"Every time someone walks through the front door they pause. It's not just the view, it's the incredible sense of space, the warmth created by the northern sunlight that fills the interiors, and the way every room connects so effortlessly.

"It has all the proportions of a luxury home, while delivering the effortless lifestyle and personalised experience of living in a world-class six-star hotel, combined with the simplicity and convenience of apartment living."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=114246 project_image_fid=378713]

A secure lift provides exclusive access to the penthouse level, opening to a dedicated arrival foyer and dining area before the residence expands into its main living and entertaining spaces.

Floor-to-ceiling glazing runs across the northern side of the home, connecting the interiors with the terrace and Middle Harbour outlook.

The penthouse also features a fireplace and substantial chef's kitchen, while the wraparound terrace has been designed to accommodate both everyday outdoor living and larger-scale entertaining.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=114246 project_image_fid=378720]

Freeman said the interiors had been deliberately kept restrained to complement the scale, natural light and outlook already established by the architecture.

"The penthouse is a serene study in quiet luxury," Freeman said.

"The interior pairs soft, sculptural forms with warm timber, pale stone and a restrained neutral palette. Curated artwork and metallic accents add depth, while abundant natural light creates a calm, effortlessly refined atmosphere. In my world, less is always more."

Freeman said the approach was centred around collecting individual pieces rather than simply decorating the apartment.

"Every material, every object and every piece of furniture has been curated with intention. I am a true believer in collecting versus decorating.

"The architecture already provided extraordinary natural light, remarkable volume and an uninterrupted connection to Middle Harbour. Our role was to complement those qualities with unique one-of-a-kind pieces of fine art and collectible design sourced from recent travels around the world."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=114246 project_image_fid=378694]

Among the collection are solid bronze sculptures by Lorenzo Quinn, alongside a curated crystalware collection and pieces sourced from international design fairs.

Park Residences sits opposite Cammeray Golf Club, Cammeray Croquet Club and Grand Slam Tennis Cammeray, around 300 metres from Neutral Bay Village and its established collection of restaurants, cafés and retail.

Brown said the combination of a whole-floor floorplan, northern aspect and proximity to Neutral Bay was becoming increasingly difficult to find on the Lower North Shore.

"Completed whole-floor penthouses with a sun-drenched north-facing aspect and sweeping Middle Harbour views are exceptionally rare," Brown said.

"Add a quiet position opposite golf, croquet and tennis facilities, a level walk to Neutral Bay Village and only minutes to the CBD, and you have a lifestyle that's incredibly difficult to replicate.

"This is a home that offers the privacy and generosity of a luxury residence together with the convenience of one of Sydney's best-connected harbourside locations."

The penthouse will be exclusively marketed by SRM Residential.

Abadeen unveils penthouse at Park Residences in Cremorne

New Brisbane developer Dalcott has unveiled Marrone, the first of three residential projects it is planning in and around Browning Street in South Brisbane.

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/marrone-south-brisbane-39-browning-street-south-brisbane-qld-4101">Marrone</a> will comprise 97 predominantly two- and three-bedroom apartments, with larger residences aimed squarely at the owner-occupier market.

The project will sit in a quiet pocket of South Brisbane between South Bank and West End, close to the restaurants, cultural attractions and riverfront amenity that have driven the suburb's continued transformation.

Dalcott is targeting buyers looking for more space and amenity than has traditionally been offered in the inner-city apartment market, particularly downsizers and professionals wanting to remain close to the city.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=149951 project_image_fid=377072]

Resident facilities will be concentrated around an extensive rooftop amenity offering, including a swimming pool, spa, infrared sauna, warm and cold magnesium plunge pools, private lounge, dining room and outdoor entertaining areas.

Dalcott Managing Director Lachlan Cottee said South Brisbane's combination of lifestyle, connectivity and established character had been central to the approach to Marrone.

“South Brisbane offers a combination of lifestyle, connectivity and character that’s difficult to replicate elsewhere in Brisbane,” Cottee said.

“Our focus has been on creating homes that feel connected to that environment while providing the level of design, functionality and quality that today's owner-occupiers expect.”

The residences will feature an expressive material palette. Italian Calacatta Viola marble, known for its deep burgundy veining, will be paired with aged brass tapware, Chestnut engineered timber flooring and Tuscan Oak joinery.

<img alt="Marrone" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="b8d833da-3b30-496a-ae30-07bdff371b50" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-08-25%20at%2010.52.35%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=P6DAgOfaQzIXljKKK5j3e5NhWtrHIu9G" />

Bathrooms will feature Nara Japanese ceramics and glass bricks, while clay, walnut and brass lighting will be used throughout the apartments.

Dalcott has appointed Realm Projects, led by Managing Director Shane Foley, to handle sales and marketing following previous sold-out collaborations between the groups.

Foley said the Brisbane apartment buyer had become increasingly focused on the quality of the home itself rather than simply securing an inner-city address.

“We expect to see strong demand from buyers who still want all the advantages of inner-city living but aren’t prepared to compromise on the quality of their home,” Foley said.

“Many will be downsizers looking to leave behind the maintenance of a traditional family home without giving up the space they enjoy, while others are likely to be professionals wanting a residence that reflects the way they live today.”

“Marrone responds directly to that demand, with generous floorplans, exceptional resident amenity and a location that places some of Brisbane’s best dining, entertainment and cultural attractions within walking distance.”

<img alt="Marrone" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="61f7b22f-899e-4c0f-940a-7d3ab1bfb93a" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-08-25%20at%2010.52.44%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=PvN1JYxBgUpyCB7efKo52WGdSDs9nmim" />

Marrone will be the first project delivered as part of Dalcott's broader investment in the precinct.

It will be followed by La Terra, a boutique project comprising penthouse-style, single-level apartments on a northeast corner site with extensive resident amenity and city views.

Cottee said Marrone represented the first stage of the group's longer-term plans for the area.

Dalcott was established in 2025 by Lachlan Cottee and Ben Dalgliesh, combining development and construction capability under an integrated model and focusing on architecturally considered residential projects.

Marrone will initially be offered through a pre-release registration campaign ahead of its broader public launch.

Dalcott targets owner-occupiers with South Brisbane debut Marrone

Parnell Developments is the latest to seek significant uplift through the NSW Government's Housing Delivery Authority on a Strathfield site previously approved for a much smaller apartment development.

Parnell has sought approval for a 32-storey mixed use tower across&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/7-lyons-street-strathfield-nsw-2135">3-7 Lyons Street and 18 Parnell Street</a>, a&nbsp;1,857 sqm site around 400 metres from Strathfield Station. The building would yield 160 apartments, 15 per cent of which will be dedicated affordable as per the government mandate for buildings seeking additional uplift.

Approved previously was a nine-storey building back in 2022 with just over 30 apartments. That approval came prior to the project being&nbsp;progressively reconsidered as planning policy shifted toward greater density around transport hubs.

<img alt="Strathfield" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="c5af5281-a643-4eb2-b8c4-0081b59c04c7" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-08-25%20at%209.16.48%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=37bd3mI7rHNpThOV_75VO8xsGFwWOi1u" />

Turner has designed the latest building that would replace&nbsp;existing detached homes across the four lots.

The apartment mix comprises 22 one-bedroom apartments, 107 two-bedroom and two-bedroom-plus configurations, and 31 apartments with three or more bedrooms. The scheme also includes 203 car spaces across six basement levels and 58 bicycle spaces.

The proposal has been designed around a three-storey podium addressing Lyons Street, with the tower rising above and stepping toward its upper levels.

Turner said the podium was deliberately scaled to respond to the existing street, while the taller element has been designed as part of the emerging skyline anticipated around Strathfield Town Centre and the wider Homebush transport-oriented development precinct.

The Lyons Street frontage would have a more active, pedestrian-focused character, incorporating the commercial tenancy, landscaping and a brick-framed podium with an awning.

<img alt="Strathfield" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="14b20874-b8c3-4ac7-bc03-92be9a69fb78" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-08-25%20at%209.17.48%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=av.9TxtqIRTC6v3PkSuu1rL9rreWoe2h" />

Parnell Street, which faces the railway corridor, has been given a different architectural treatment, with double-height breeze blocks, landscaping and communal areas used to soften the interface with the rail infrastructure.

The tower itself uses curved and recessed facade elements, with wave-like indentations across the northern elevation breaking the building into three vertical forms.

A palette of grey concrete, brick and breeze blocks is complemented by clay and terracotta accents, while the upper tower adopts a lighter expression through articulated slab edges, vertical fins and recessed glazing.

Residents would have access to 467 sqm of communal open space spread across three levels. The ground floor would accommodate the more active resident areas, including barbecue and group gathering spaces and an internal communal room capable of being used for working from home.

A more passive viewing deck is proposed at level three, overlooking the ground-level landscaping and neighbouring tennis courts, while a rooftop "sunset deck" at level 30 would provide another social and relaxation space.

<img alt="Parnell" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="c3dce401-a80f-4682-8471-4caa01180880" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-08-25%20at%209.17.34%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=Xyo8JVqbOhSJXNy6Ih.1cHL.O6i0bGR." />

&nbsp;

&nbsp;

&nbsp;

Strathfield has been earmarked for substantial change through the Strathfield Town Centre planning work and the nearby Homebush TOD precinct.

Turner's report says the project has been designed to act as a transition between the existing low and mid-rise development surrounding the site and the taller built form expected to emerge across the town centre.

The proposal is being assessed as State Significant Development under the HDA pathway, alongside the concurrent request to amend the Burwood Local Environmental Plan.

First look: New apartment tower pitched for Strathfield Town Centre precinct

An $18 million penthouse has hit the market in Main Beach as construction tops out on La Mer, the $155 million apartment development rising just metres from the beach.

Spanning around 600 sqm across the top two levels of the 29-storey tower on Main Beach Parade, the four-bedroom penthouse is one of the latest eight-figure residences to test the upper end of the Gold Coast apartment market.

Its launch comes amid continued activity at the very top of the market, following the $30 million off-the-plan sale of a Burleigh Heads penthouse earlier this year, which surpassed the Gold Coast's previous $24 million apartment record set in 2023.

The <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/la-mer-main-beach-3580-main-beach-parade-main-beach-qld-4217">La Mer penthouse</a> has been designed as a private residence in the sky, with 360-degree views spanning the ocean, Broadwater, hinterland and Gold Coast skyline.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=95606 project_image_fid=378731]

All four bedrooms have ensuites, while the ocean-facing master retreat occupies around half of the upper level and includes its own lounge, private balcony, two walk-in wardrobes and an oversized ensuite with a freestanding stone bath positioned to take in the views.

The residence also features a kitchen designed to accommodate a private chef, a 3.6-metre island bench, expansive butler's pantry, wine cellar and integrated bar.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=95606 project_image_fid=378732]

A rooftop pool and substantial outdoor entertaining area with its own kitchen sit above the residence, while a grand staircase connects the two internal levels. The penthouse also has its own express lift.

OTP Group Director James Elliott, who is marketing La Mer, said the penthouse was expected to appeal to high-net-worth buyers seeking either a permanent Main Beach residence or Gold Coast holiday home.

“The La Mer penthouse represents exceptional value, considering its quality design, size, privacy and location, not to mention the 360-degree views capturing the beach and Gold Coast Broadwater,” Elliott said.

“We’re anticipating interest from high-net-worth individuals and couples seeking a residence or holiday home in the sought-after village enclave of Main Beach, taking advantage of the unprecedented growth underway in the area and neighbouring The Spit.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=95606 project_image_fid=378736]

La Mer is being developed by developer-builder ODUS and Nazero, in partnership with funder Metrics Credit Partners.

ODUS Director Byron Sakha said topping out the tower had provided the opportunity to release the project's most significant residence.

“We’ve worked with internationally-recognised studio Sici Design on the penthouse interiors, with a focus on ensuring it isn’t luxury for luxury’s sake. Every element has been thoughtfully designed to enhance quality of life for those who call it home,” Sakha said.

“The views are the hero of virtually every space, but we’ve given equal attention to the fittings and finishes, so every detail exudes elegance and refinement.”

Sici Design Founder and Director Maria Papadopoulos said the extensive views became an integral part of the interior design rather than simply something the residence was designed around.

“The views weren't something we designed around, they became part of the design itself, with the true luxury of La Mer in its feeling of peace, calm and wellbeing,” Papadopoulos said.

“Luxury isn't defined by how something looks, but how it makes you feel, and we believe a luxurious home should be beautiful to live in, not stressful to maintain.”

The interiors combine Austral Dream Dolomite natural stone and travertine with timber flooring and a restrained coastal palette.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=95606 project_image_fid=378734]

Designed by Plus Studio, La Mer is one of the more boutique additions to the rapidly changing Main Beach apartment market.

The tower comprises just 24 full-floor, three-bedroom plus multipurpose room apartments below the two-level penthouse, giving the project a considerably lower density than many of the larger towers being developed across the Gold Coast.

Residents will have access to a pool and spa, gym, sauna, barbecue facilities, private sun lounges, yoga lawn and outdoor beach shower.

The penthouse has been released as part of the final collection of residences at La Mer, with remaining apartments priced from $4.3 million.

Construction is expected to complete later this year, with a fully furnished display apartment now open on level four.

ODUS releases $18 million penthouse crowning La Mer Main Beach

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/far-east-consortium">Far East Consortium</a> is preparing to commence construction on <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/640-bourke-street-melbourne-640-bourke-street-melbourne-vic-3000">640 Bourke Street</a> this October, marking the next milestone for the Melbourne CBD development and its higher-end Eliza Collection.

Spanning levels 44 to 68 of the 68-storey <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/rothelowman">Rothelowman</a>-designed tower, the Eliza Collection has been conceived as a lower-density offering within the broader development, with only five apartments on each floor, dedicated lift access and a collection of resident spaces reserved exclusively for Eliza Collection residents.

The Eliza Collection forms part of Far East Consortium's broader move toward larger-format residences at 640 Bourke Street, where the number of apartments was reduced from earlier plans as apartment sizes increased.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=509 project_image_fid=365685]

"What it's meant for 640 Bourke is we've actually reduced the number of apartments. We've increased the overall size of the apartments. We don't have any studios in here, and what that does for a project is it elevates it," Far East Consortium Director of Sales and Marketing Lauren Sheldon said.

Rothelowman Associate Jun Chang said the design process provided an opportunity to create more generous floorplans.

"We were given the opportunity to be more generous. The apartments became bigger and squarer than any other apartments which had been designed in the CBD before that."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=509 project_image_fid=368869]

That thinking carries through to the Eliza Collection, where the residences have been designed around the space and functionality associated with a larger home, but positioned high above the centre of Melbourne.

Kitchens are equipped with Gaggenau appliances, a butler's pantry, temperature-controlled wine cabinet and sculptural pendant lighting, while engineered timber flooring, stone and porcelain finishes and custom cabinetry feature throughout the broader interiors.

Privacy and security are another point of distinction. Eliza Collection residents have dedicated lift access, while 640 Bourke Street will provide concierge services and secure resident parking. Short-stay accommodation, including Airbnb, will not be permitted within the development.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=509 project_image_fid=365689]

Eliza Collection residents will also have exclusive access to selected amenity spaces across levels one and three of the restored Eliza Tinsley building. These include the Salon with grand piano, an art therapy room, private dining rooms and treatment rooms.

They sit within more than 3,000 sqm of amenity planned across 640 Bourke Street, alongside facilities including a pool, gym, whisky lounge and further social and wellness spaces.

The Eliza Tinsley building itself is central to the wider project's identity. Rather than treating the existing Eliza Tinsley façade as a separate element, Rothelowman used it as a starting point for the architecture of the new tower, with the historic building to accommodate the project's gallery and lobby.

"It's a significant asset and wants to be celebrated and experienced by all residents every single time they go in and out of the building," Rothelowman Principal Stuart Marsland said.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=509 project_image_fid=368872]

The tower will rise behind the retained heritage building at 640 Bourke Street, placing residents within walking distance of Southern Cross Station, Flagstaff Gardens, Queen Victoria Market and the Docklands waterfront.

With construction scheduled to begin in October, Far East Consortium has established an onsite display gallery at 640 Bourke Street, including fully built apartments that allow the project's layouts, materials and finishes to be inspected at full scale.

A fully built Eliza Collection apartment is also available to view at the display suite by appointment ahead of the planned October construction commencement.

Eligible purchasers who buy before construction commences can secure the full available off-the-plan stamp duty savings, subject to eligibility and applicable conditions.

Far East Consortium brings Eliza Collection to 640 Bourke Street ahead of October construction start

Broadbeach

The burgeoning Broadbeach is set for another high-rise apartment development, as developers continue to try and keep up with the high demand for luxury product in the area.

Plans have been filed by Ferro Chow Architects&nbsp;for a&nbsp;46-level tower at 99-101 Old Burleigh Road,&nbsp;on the corner of Armrick Avenue and across the road from Broadbeach Park.

The development will only have 59 apartments, with half-floor apartments taking up the first half of the tower, then full-floor apartments from there up.

Marco Ferro said the Broadbeach design was&nbsp;inspired by the Norfolk pine trees that line Old Burleigh Road.

<a href="/new-apartments/casa-beach-99-101-old-burleigh-road-broadbeach">To keep up to date with the development and its launch, enquire here</a>

&quot;The dark bark texture of the tree trunks give this particular side of Broadbeach a characteristic that set it aside from the rest of the region,&quot; Ferro said.

&quot;The bold lines and colours throughout the tower reference aspects of placemaking connecting Old Burleigh Road to Broadbeach Boulevard.&quot;

The smallest apartments have three bedrooms and a multi-purpose room. There are 36 three-bedroom apartments, 22 four-bedroom apartments, and a special penthouse toward the point end of the building.

The third level podium will have the half of the resident amenity. There&#39;s a barbecue kitchen and dining, an adjoining private dining area with a bar, extensive seating across a lower and upper deck, a gym, and an infinity edge pool with day beds.

From level four upwards will be two apartments per floor to level 22, where from there are just whole-floor apartments.

<a href="/new-apartments/casa-beach-99-101-old-burleigh-road-broadbeach">To keep up to date with the development and its launch, enquire here</a>

There&#39;s further resident amenity of level 44, while includes more lounge, kitchen and dining areas, a wine bar with cellar, a reflection pond, and a cinema room.

Above that is the two-level penthouse.&nbsp;

<img alt="" height="800" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/99-101_obr_broadbeach_0.jpg" width="1200" /> 
The proposed apartment tower and swimming pool level.&nbsp;Image credit: Ferro Chow Architects

The first level is dedicated to entertaining, with the main kitchen living and dining space, two balconies, one with an outdoor kitchen and plunge pool, a home office, with its own butlers pantry, and a home theatre room, with sliding doors hiding a popcorn maker.

Upstairs is the four bedrooms, all with ensuites. The master has a walk in.

Currently on the 1,283 sqm site is Casa Del Mar, an original three-storey walk up of just five apartments.

&quot;The client has catered for a wider pool of owner-occupiers, offering different price points&nbsp;with half-floor and whole-floor apartments,&quot; Ferro said, adding that the views across Broadbeach will never be built out.

<a href="/new-apartments/casa-beach-99-101-old-burleigh-road-broadbeach">To keep up to date with the development and its launch, enquire here</a>

The site is next door to the recently approved tower from the Brisbane-based Turrisi Properties, who are set to develop a 22-level, 84-apartment tower designed by&nbsp;Rothelowman, who were aiming for a&nbsp;mid-century, tropical modernist-style building.

Ferro Chow&#39;s approach to the 99-101 Old Burleigh Road&nbsp;was to use the&nbsp;Biophillic Design principles.

&quot;As a consequence of being city dwellers, we become more and more out of touch with nature,&quot; the architecture firm noted.

<img alt="" height="800" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/99-101_obr_0.jpg" width="1200" /> 
The proposed apartment tower on a corner site and the view from the swimming pool.&nbsp;Image credit: Ferro Chow Architects

&quot;Biophilic Design is a response to that detachment, aiming to restore the connectivity our society once had with the natural environment.

&quot;Connectivity with the nature is our birthright. In biophilic principles, this connection must not only be reestablished, but also sustained. This is where human-made design interventions come into play, as they are needed to facilitate our relationships with nature and also each other.

&quot;Through the emphasis of the natural features of the site, introduction of abundant natural light, and the fostering of human relationships, a building becomes a hub for engagement.&quot;

Ferro Chow, who was a finalist at the&nbsp;UDIA QLD Awards&nbsp;for London, its West End, Brisbane apartment development,&nbsp;are also behind the unique design of Greenwich, the Chevron Island development from Ention Properties.

The striking design was inspired by Manhattan&#39;s Flatiron building. The penthouse recently just sold for a record $4.25 million.

Broadbeach set for new 45-level, Ferro Chow-designed apartment tower

Broadbeach&#39;s next apartment tower is set to come from Turrisi Properties, who has received sign off for their first Gold Coast apartment project.

The development, at 9-11 Armrick Avenue, will home 84 apartments across its 22 levels, a mix of two and three-bedroom apartments, as well as a small collection of four-bedroom penthouses, each set to have their own rooftop decks with&nbsp;a spa, kitchen, living and dining facilities.

There were a few tweaks to the Rothelowman-designed tower, which saw the balconies of the south side apartments relocated to the outside corners.

<a href="/new-apartments/9-11-armrick-avenue-broadbeach">To keep up to date with the development and its launch, enquire here</a>

&quot;This change will lighten the appearance of the tower form and any appearance of bulk in the tower would be minimised through the lightness and transparency of the balconies,&quot; Urbis director Matthew Schneider noted.

Turrisi&nbsp;founder and managing director Gaetano Turrisi said liveability was the top priority in the design.

<img alt="" height="958" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/armrick_broadbeach_2.jpg" width="1200" />

&ldquo;We are passionate about the development of the highest quality bespoke residences in Southeast Queensland and excited to be bringing our design standard to the Gold Coast,&rdquo; said Turrisi Properties managing director, Gaetano Turrisi.

&ldquo;As our debut project on the Gold Coast, this is an opportunity for us to enhance one of the world&rsquo;s most famous beachfront skylines and we have not made any compromises in crafting a well-designed residential tower with liveability as the top priority.&rdquo;

<a href="/new-apartments/9-11-armrick-avenue-broadbeach">To keep up to date with the development and its launch, enquire here</a>

The Rothelowman design pays homage to the Gold Coast&rsquo;s mid-century past that echoes tropical modernism.

&ldquo;The design of our Armrick Avenue project encapsulates the quintessential coastal experience, including an operable fa&ccedil;ade that allows residents to tune their environment to the current conditions and is a short walk to the beach, a surf club, Norfolk pines and a bowls club - the existing collection of civic offerings allows for the creation of a new civic promenade along Armrick Avenue,&rdquo;&nbsp;Turrisi said.

<img alt="" height="720" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/armrick_design_1.jpg" width="1200" />

&ldquo;Also, the contemporary but timeless design elements of the development are enhanced by extensive podium and rooftop communal amenities that add value to residents as well as the local community.&rdquo;

Turrisi Properties get sign off for mid-century, tropical modernist Broadbeach apartment development

The hotly anticipated Aperture, which will be one of the most high-end apartment developments&nbsp;in Broadbeach when completed in mid-2023, has officially launched to the market.

Following on from their successful first tower in Broadbeach, Signature, which sold out earlier this year, the Melbourne-based Little Projects took a different approach to&nbsp;Aperture, which refers to the opening of a lens&#39;s diaphragm through which light passes.

This time they&#39;re targeting the luxury owner-occupier, with every apartment on offer spanning a whole-level and offering over 200 sqm of internal and external space, enough space for a downsizer.

There are just 29 apartments across the 35 levels, with 26 full-floor apartments with three bedrooms, three bathrooms and three parking spaces. They start from $2.1 million, with every level of the 120 metre building offering uninterrupted ocean views from the balcony off the living area.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108327 project_image_fid=181282]

Floorplans for the double-storey sub penthouse and penthouse are still in the works, but they expect to have four bedrooms and four bathrooms each.&nbsp;

Elenberg Fraser, who has designed a number of developments&nbsp;in Melbourne, created the modernist-inspired apartment building, with hand-crafted materials and a minimalistic design featuring throughout. Gaggenau appliances and natural timber and stone have been used for the interiors, creating an extra level of luxury rarely seen in the market.

Leighton Pyke, Director of&nbsp;Little Projects Co, reckons&nbsp;the south end of Broadbeach is quite possibly the ultimate location to soak up the central coastal atmosphere.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108327 project_image_fid=181281]

&ldquo;It&rsquo;s part of a very tranquil enclave just a little bit away from the heart of the vibrant retail and dining precinct but within walking distance to all that Broadbeach has to offer, and only metres from the beach,&quot; Pyke says.

Pyke said they made a conscious effort to change the course from the high-density projects and instead offer full floor collection of apartments, offering enough space for the downsizer.

&ldquo;We put a lot of thought and energy into this project, alongside our talented team of architects, to come up with a design concept that blends with the superb location of the site.&rdquo;

&ldquo;With this project, we wanted to challenge expectations on how a luxury coastal residential collection should look and feel, so we devised a sub-tropical oasis that incorporates moody tone for an effortlessly luxe feel,&rdquo; Pyke said.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108327 project_image_fid=181285]

KM Sales &amp; Marketing agent Todd Matheson is handling the market.

Aperture will feature a&nbsp;lap pool on the podium level, with hotel-like day beds at either end. The pool is flanked by a long pool deck, and an adjoining 20 sqm barbecue area with outdoor dining space. On this level is a gym with a steam room.

The project sits just minutes from the patrolled Kurrawa beach, and a short walk from the heart of Broadbeach&#39;s Oracle dining and retail precinct.

Little Projects Co launch Broadbeach apartment development, Aperture

Any fears of oversupply across the Gold Coast were well and truly quelled in September, with data form Urbis suggesting that, if the current sales demand continues&nbsp;and no new developments are released, there would only be around four months of apartments left.

There&#39;s been a continued uptake in residential apartment projects, with some developers still seeing exceptional results in the early weeks of launching.

Chevron One adds further level of luxury, with the new Sky Homes release featuring the Gold Coast&rsquo;s biggest ever penthouse

[smartcode_project:default project_id=6515 project_image_fid=174034]

Chevron One, set to reign as Chevron Island&#39;s only luxury high-rise apartment tower, is about to achieve another level of luxury the Gold Coast hasn&#39;t seen before.

The Melbourne-based Bensons Property Group has released its Sky Home collection, starting from levels 31 and rising to level 41, soaring nearly 100 metres in the air. Bensons hadn&#39;t released the high-level apartments, but are now seeing high demand in ultra-luxury, large apartments in the sky.

When complete, Chevron One will be the tallest tower on the exclusive island, and the tallest there ever will be, with the Gold Coast City Council two years ago bringing in strict planning laws, limiting future apartment projects to 33 metres, or 12 storeys.

The final five apartments in the sought-after Allure development on&nbsp;Chevron Island&nbsp;have been released to the market, at a time where the supply of new apartments is nearing record lows.

Each of the apartments left in the Macquarie York-developed, BDA Architect-designed building at 26-28 Dalpura Street, have three bedrooms and a multi-purpose room.

Macquarie York founder Roy Skaf said that the timing of launching Allure, which has netted over $72 million in sales,&nbsp;coincided with a demand for high-quality residences in the heart of the Gold Coast.

It took just a weekend soft launch for the luxury developer S&amp;S Projects to secure over half of the sales in its latest Gold Coast apartment development, Esprit.

Esprit, at 217-227 Boundary Street, in the sought-after Rainbow Bay location in Coolangatta, sold over half of the 97 apartments on offer in the two interconnected Cottee Parker-designed buildings.

No surprise in the quick-fire sales by KM Sales and Marketing agent Jayde Pezet given the location, the fact Esprit is crowned by Club Esprit, the Gold Coast&#39;s first ever residents-only rooftop wellness centre, and the size of the apartments.

Brisbane-based developer Siera lodges Chevron Island apartment development plans

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108641 project_image_fid=179071]

The Brisbane-based development and construction firm, Siera Property Group, are the latest in a wave of developers heading to the Gold Coast for the first time.

Seira, headed by the managing director&nbsp;and founder Brent Thompson, has laid plans on the sought-after&nbsp;Chevron Island&nbsp;for a 17-level project dubbed Tapestry, paying homage to the Island&#39;s new Home of the Arts precinct.

The plans by the local BDA Architecture will see 83 apartments built on&nbsp;a 1,518&nbsp;sqm site at&nbsp;39-43 Darrambal Street, toward the southern end of the island.

Thompson, who sits on the board of UDIA QLD and chairs the Brisbane&nbsp;City Council&nbsp;Policy&nbsp;Committee, sees it as a shift in thinking for the company, who made their name in the Queensland capital developing luxury townhouses in Brisbane&#39;s inner ring.

Gold Coast apartment insights: What happened on the Gold Coast in September

Despite offering developer unlimited height restrictions, some developers in the Gold Coast suburb of Broadbeach are opting for more boutique projects, as the demand for bigger apartments at higher price points continues to heighten.

The newest plans will see a boutique block of just&nbsp;10 full floor apartments built, one of which, the penthouse, which will span two levels.

Despite the unlimited heigh limit at&nbsp;131 Old Burleigh Road, the local Dovrat family have opted for a more boutique tower, following in the footsteps of the likes of Little Projects Co. and Marquee Developments.

The Old Burleigh Road apartments will have 288 sqm of internal living area, with a further 58 sqm of balconies, including an east-facing 43 sqm balcony off the open plan living, kitchen and dining area. Each of the three bedrooms will have a walk-in wardrobe and an ensuite. There will also be a multipurpose room.

The whole floor apartments run to level 12, where the two-level penthouse starts. That will have a private rooftop terrace with its own wet edge swimming pool, dining area, outdoor kitchen, lounge area, and a sauna.

<img alt="" height="758" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/131_old_burleigh_3.jpg" width="1200" /> 
The plans for 131 Old Burleigh Road. Image credit: Raunik Design

The resident amenity will be across levels one and two and will include an entry lobby, a swimming pool, a private dining space with kitchen, and a gym.

The town planning report by Planit Consulting stated the proposal by Raunik Design&nbsp;is of high architectural quality, expressing a luxurious and contemporary design through bold horizontal elements that complements the coastal character of the local area.

&quot;The façade is comprised of naturally forming elements such as glass and concrete and incorporates black aluminium frames and horizontal battens. The elegant concrete façade wraps around each floor floated by tinted glass allowing for natural light in addition to shading and privacy and unobstructed views in every direction.

&quot;The use of glass on the ground and mezzanine level activates the streetscape creating visual interest on a pedestrian scale. The built form presents low site coverage and substantial setbacks at the first two levels to create a legible entry and contribute positively to the streetscape.

Given its proximity to Surfers Paradise, traditionally Broadbeach has been a magnet for high density apartment towers, some with hundreds of apartments. But that&#39;s left a gap in the market for the downsizer or owner-occupier, who ranks space over location.

One of the next boutique projects to launch is Aperture,&nbsp;just 29 full floor apartments at 20 Mary Avenue. That&#39;s&nbsp;being developed by Little Projects&nbsp;Co, who recently sold out their $200 million Signature Broadbeach tower nearby.

The Brisbane-based Marquee Developments recently lodged plans for a 20-level tower of just 22 apartments at 17 Federation Avenue.

Hayes Anderson Lynch&nbsp;Architects have drawn up the plans for the 62 metre building which willl have&nbsp;six two-bedroom apartments, six three-bedroom apartments and 10-four bedders. It will also be crowned by a two-level penthouse.

The Victoria &amp; Albert Broadbeach apartment project marketing campaign will commence in October through Colliers.

The $800 million mixed-use development will feature more the 330 apartments across two residential towers rising 30 and 40 levels.

The East tower known as The Albert will comprise 114 two, three and four-bedroom apartments over 30 levels.

The west tower, known as The Victoria, will rise over 40 levels and deliver 219 apartments of one, two and three bedrooms.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=107928 project_image_fid=184933]

Construction is expected to begin mid next year and take two years to complete, the first of many Gold Coast projects envisaged by Iris Capital, Sydney developer, Sam Arnaout.

The $800 million high-rise development on Broadbeach will transform Broadbeach’s Niecon Plaza which was purchased for $58 million earlier this year.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=107928 project_image_fid=184934]

The development will also include 5458 square metres of retail, dining and office space over two levels.

It will be the biggest project on Broadbeach since The Oracle apartments by the Nikiforides family more than a decade ago.

It was the same family which built the Niecon Plaza.

The site was bought from the family of late seafood king George Raptis.

The holding came with council approval for towers of 28 and 35 storeys, with a retail hub running from Broadbeach Mall to Albert Ave.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=107928 project_image_fid=184936]

“The opportunity to purchase the Broadbeach site was not taken lightly and is in line with what we have been looking for – a multi-faceted, mixed-use project with ground-floor activation that complements the vertical village we are proposing,”&nbsp;Arnaout said. 
 
“In my opinion, this is the best site in Broadbeach to deliver a landmark transformative precinct that will be well received by the end-user market and become an important legacy project for the Gold Coast.”

“Broadbeach is on the move and a new destination precinct is long overdue to complement the growth the region is experiencing,”&nbsp;Arnaout added.

“Our plans have been carefully crafted to ensure this will be a destination for everybody to enjoy. With every project we undertake, we like to dive into the DNA of an area and deliver for the end user. V&amp;A Broadbeach will meet those objectives and transform what is already one of the most dynamic and most recognised areas of the Gold Coast.”

Victoria & Albert Broadbeach set to launch in October

Large development sites on the Gold Coast are in as short supply as the apartments at the moment, with Urbis data suggesting there are just over four months of supply of apartments if sales rates continue as they are and there are no new projects released.

Sites have become invaluable, and it&#39;s a case of picking off the old, tired buildings on prime land which will make way for new, flashy apartment towers.

That&#39;s seen the local site amalgamation specialists GV Property Group never busier.

GV Property Group&nbsp;founder Antonio Mercuri, who started the company around six years ago knocking on doors, along with his right hand man Luke Reaby, are starting to see an uptick in apartments vendors willing to band together to get the maximum price they can from developers, who are coming from all over the country to build apartments on the Gold Coast.

The duo&nbsp;recently&nbsp;launched&nbsp;2769&nbsp;Gold Coast Highway, a 2,595 sqm site, for sale, with big demand early on.

Within a week, Mercuri and Reaby managed to take the site a step further,&nbsp;amalgamating the site next door by contacting the owners of the adjoining six apartments at 16 Rosewood Avenue, adding a further 647 sqm to create the huge 3,242 sqm corner site which has&nbsp;unlimited height zoning.&nbsp;

<img alt="" height="900" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/gvpg-2769-gc-highway-2.jpg" width="1200" />

2769 Gold Coast Highway and 16 Rosewood Ave is for sale via expressions of interest, closing October 8. For more information, <a href="http://www.gvpropertygroup.com">click here</a>.

Reaby advises that the maximum tower floorplate on the Gold Coast is typically 750 sqm, suggesting &#39;the site could accommodate two towers which would fit perfectly within the site cover guidelines.

There&#39;s also a rare proposition of having two or three podium levels, which would create a striking facade from the street level and above ground parking.

Dual tower developments have seen great success in the past in the area, with Meriton Suites and Oracle still popular at Broadbeach.

And there&#39;s plenty of mega-developments in the pipeline with more than one tower planned for these larger amalgamated sites, with the aim to create a sky-high resort for residents.

The Shanghai-headquartered international property developer SPG Land, in a joint-venture with Australian developer Gordon Corp, has lodged $800 million plans for nearly 800 apartments to be built across three towers in the heart of Surfers Paradise.

<img alt="" height="750" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/spg_gold_coast_main_0.jpg" width="1200" /><img alt="" height="697" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/gurner_main_0.jpg" width="1200" />

They will be anchored by a new ground-level retail and dining plaza at the street level Ferny Avenue. The 1.15 hectare site will be bounded by Ferny Ave, one of Surfers main streets, as well as Surfers Paradise Boulevard, Pandanus Avenue and Ocean Avenue near the Surfers Paradise North light rail station.

The latest was of course the $1.25 billion plans laid by the Melbourne-based developer Gurner, led by the high-profile developer Tim Gurner, just up the road.

The 11,000 plus sqm site at 108 Ferny Avenue will be known as La Pelago, and will comprise four huge towers with nearly 1,000 apartments, around a quarter dedicated to a hotel.

&nbsp;

There&#39;s been international interest for a massive 5,726 sqm site at&nbsp;3006-3016 Surfers Paradise Boulevard, which already has development application application for Orion Towers, a mixed-use development with two towers and over 1200 apartments.

But Reaby reckons there&#39;s a great opportunity for a build to rent operator, with current vacancy rates at all time lows.

&quot;The site would allow for well over 200 apartments for a build to rent operator&quot;, Reaby says, however admits the likelihood is of two residential towers, or one hotel and one residential tower.

Sites have become invaluable, and it's a case of picking off the old, tired buildings on prime land which will make way for new, flashy apartment towers

Rare Broadbeach apartment development site gets rarer, with two apartment towers possible

The development pipeline in Gold Coast&#39;s Broadbeach keeps on coming for prospective apartment buyers who are wanting to invest in the Gold Coast over the coming years.

There&#39;s likely another residential tower set to shoot up at 13-15 Australia Avenue, a 1,214&nbsp;sqm site which has the same site zoning and dimensions of the nearby Raptis tower Gallery and the apartment development Encore by Andrews Projects.

GV Property Group&#39;s Antonio Mercuri and Luke Reaby, who sold the Broadbeach sites to Raptis and Andrews Projects,&nbsp;are marketing the Australia Avenue block,&nbsp;which currently has 12 two-bedroom apartments, with the owners joining forces&nbsp;to sell.

Mercuri and Reaby are already fielding enquiry from prominent local and interstate developers.

&quot;We expect a very similar outcome to the nearby developments, which will likely provide&nbsp;of 70 - 100 high quality apartments in the heart of Broadbeach,&quot; Reaby says.

&quot;Boutique Projects of this size have done extremely well in last year and we anticipate another quick sell-out for the new project.&quot;

They band&nbsp;together apartment owners in underutilised and underdeveloped land parcels and secure premium prices for their apartments which they sell&nbsp;to multi-residential developers.

Broadbeach has been a hot bed of apartment developments and lodgements in recent years.

The new tower, dubbed&nbsp;Aperture,&nbsp;at 20 Mary Avenue in Broadbeach,&nbsp;will be made up of just 29 full floor and double-storey apartments.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108327 project_image_fid=181283]

Designed for the owner-occupier by the award-winning architect Elenberg Fraser,&nbsp;each apartment will have at least three bedrooms, hand-crafted materials and a minimalistic design.

Prices are set to range from $2 million to $7.75 million.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108327 project_image_fid=181290]

Leighton Pyke, Director of Little Projects, said the company was ecstatic to be delivering another premier project in a sought-after pocket of Broadbeach.

&ldquo;The south end of Broadbeach is quite possibly the ultimate location to soak up the central coastal atmosphere,&rdquo; Pyke said.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108327 project_image_fid=181282]

&ldquo;It&rsquo;s part of a very tranquil enclave just a little bit away from the heart of the vibrant retail and dining precinct but within walking distance to all that Broadbeach has to offer, and only metres from the beach.&rdquo;

Pyke said they made a conscious effort to change the course from the high-density projects and instead offer full floor collection of apartments, offering enough space for the downsizer.

&ldquo;We put a lot of thought and energy into this project, alongside our talented team of architects, to come up with a design concept that blends with the superb location of the site.&rdquo;

Executive Director of KM Sales and Marketing, Jayde Pezet, said the project was poised to seize hold of a growing marketplace of affluent lifestyle seekers.

&ldquo;With overseas borders shut, we are continuing to witness interstate buyers flock to the Gold Coast in pursuit of a tropical retreat,&rdquo; Pezet said.

&ldquo;With the development set just moments from the beachfront, and the retail and dining options essentially at its doorstep, it will be the ultimate home for buyers seeking coastal convenience.&rdquo;

The Gold Coast developer Raptis has officially lodged plans for its newest Gold Coast tower.

They've secured a prime development site in Broadbeach at 6-8 George Avenue, next to the Pacific Fair Shopping Centre in the heart of the coastal hotspot.

The busy Sydney-based architecture firm Koichi Takada Architects, who have taken on a number of projects on the Gold Coast in recent months,&nbsp;have designed the 40 storey building.

Takada referenced their Sydney project Infinity Square, delivered by Mirvac at Green Square, in the design statement. It&nbsp;had similar lush greenery toward the top end of the tower.

<img alt="" data-entity-type="" data-entity-uuid="" height="1012" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/raptis_broadbeach.jpg" width="1200" />

6-8 George Avenue Design Statement

The proposed development at 6-8 George Avenue, Broadbeach aims to create a landmark architectural feature, highlighting the characteristics of its natural context and enhancing the Broadbeach skyline. Located less than five minutes walk from the nearby Kurrawa Beach and Parklands, this building is ideally located to take advantage of the Gold Coast lifestyle.

The site enjoys easy access to shops, restaurants, transport hubs and night life both in Broadbeach and nearby Nobby Beach and Surfers Paradise. The site is also well connected to schools and public facilities. In seeking to address this context, the proposal has taken cues from the nearby beach parklands. The green walkways, rolling banks and leafy dunes of Kurrawa Parklands are mirrored in the development. The tower is treated to the east and west with dense, leafy terraces and planters, creating a visual extension to the parklands below.

The repetition and regularity of these green terraces echo the tree lined, beach front pathway that connects Broadbeach to its neighbouring suburbs. A sculpted, green finial caps the tower, tapering away from the parkland below and lends the building the form of the Norfolk Pine. This appeal to the local context is further addressed in the materiality of the tower. At street level, the podium is characterised by lush planting, offset with a soft palette of natural finishes and materials. Natural stone cladding and paving at the ground level hint at the neighbouring beach.

These tones are offset with soft white render and white batten screening to the podium, while the cascading planting above provides movement and colour to the façade. Recessive elements are treated with dark finishes to further emphasise the natural palette. This materiality and form has been continued into the private spaces of the building. The apartments have been designed to maximise access to natural light and ventilation. To the east and west, operable glazing can be opened to the perimeter planters allowing for seamless views over a green verge to the surrounds.

This proposal also seeks to be sympathetic to its local built form. The site is neighboured primarily by residential buildings of varying scale and character. To the north, the Broadbeach centre features several prominent residential towers, most notably the 40 and 50 storey Oracle towers. Immediately north-east of the site, opposite the parkland is the iconic Carmel by the Sea and the recently constructed Elysian Broadbeach.

To the south-east is Ultra Broadbeach, a 32 storey hotel. Generous tower setbacks maintain the form and amenity of the area, while the tower significantly enhances the public realm. 6-8 George Avenue has been designed to enhance and protect the natural and built character of Broadbeach. It is hoped this development will be a landmark enjoyed by all Gold Coast residents and become a catalyst for quality development to come.

The tower will comprise 134 apartments, made up of 64 two beds and 64 three beds. There will be four sub penthouses and two penthouse apartments
