The residential transformation of St Kilda Road is set to continue into with more new apartment plans for the sought-after boulevard.

Wing Tai Asia has lodged plans for a major residential tower at 464-466 St Kilda Road, replacing the former VACC House with an 18-storey mixed-use development designed around a retained heritage podium and a sculpted contemporary tower.

The proposal, prepared under Victoria’s Significant Residential Development with Affordable Housing pathway, would deliver 325 apartments and ground-floor retail across the prominent 4,653 sqm boulevard site in Melbourne’s St Kilda Road North Precinct.

The project centres on the adaptive reuse of the site’s heritage-listed VACC Building, an eight-storey office designed by Bernard Evans that has occupied the address for decades. Planning documents state the development would involve “carefully dismantling and conserving off-site the original metal fabric of the podium visible from St Kilda Road,” before reinstating it as the defining frontage of the new scheme.

Above the restored podium, Wing Tai is proposing a curvilinear residential tower. The scheme includes 172 one-bedroom apartments, 63 two-bedroom apartments, 66 three-bedroom apartments, and 24 four-bedroom apartments, alongside two ground-floor food and beverage tenancies fronting St Kilda Road.

The tower has been designed with substantial articulation and variable setbacks to minimise perceived bulk and maintain view corridors along the boulevard. Urbis, which prepared the planning report, said the design “has been significantly articulated through a curvilinear design” with “an interplay with materials, façade expression and depth” to create visual separation and visual interest.

The proposal also includes 254 basement car spaces, landscaped pedestrian links connecting St Kilda Road and Queens Lane, and a biophilic landscape strategy featuring canopy trees, raised planters, cascading greenery and a glass oculus pool overlooking the eastern frontage.

Planning documents confirm the $270.1 million development will contribute 3 per cent of project costs to the Social Housing Growth Fund as part of the application process.

Wing Tai acquired the St Kilda Road property in 2018 alongside Abacus Property Group for $95.38 million, before later consolidating ownership of the site. The property previously served as the Victorian Automobile Chamber of Commerce headquarters for around 60 years.

The transformation of the St Kilda Rd boulevard is already beginning to materialise, with a number of high-profile projects recently completed, launched, or approaching launch as developers continue to back the long-term appeal of the precinct.

Among the most notable recent completions is Louise by Samuel Property Group, just off the strip on Queens Lane, the same pocket Hirsch &amp; Faigen recently launched The Queensbury. Mirvac is too on the same street with The Albertine, which is approaching completion.

Dexus recently secured approval for its slice of St Kilda Road, while Gurner also has approved plans for the precinct.

Wing Tai unveils 325-apartment St Kilda Road tower on former VACC House site

Malaysian developer <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/s-p-setia">SP Setia</a> is the latest to jump into St Leonards booming Transport Oriented Development precinct.

The developer, which has previously delivered Sapphire by the Gardens apartment development in Melbourne, identified the Atchison Street site in 2023. It filed a Scoping Report around 12 months ago, and now has revealed the designs for the new&nbsp;40-storey mixed-use tower.

The State Significant Development Application covers <a href="https://next-portal.urban.com.au/projects/14650/summary">20-22 Atchison Street</a>, a 1,374 sqm site positioned between St Leonards Station and the new Crows Nest Metro station.

Designed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/cox-architecture">COX Architecture</a>, the project would deliver 181 apartments, above a four-storey commercial podium, five basement levels, and new public domain works along Mitchell Street. The apartment mix comprises 35 one-bedroom apartments, 39 one-bedroom-plus-study apartments, 85 two-bedroom apartments, and 22 three-bedroom residences.

The proposal has been lodged as a shop-top housing development under the NSW Government’s TOD planning pathway, which allows increased density around key transport infrastructure. The site sits within the recently rezoned Crows Nest Accelerated TOD Precinct.

<img alt="First look: SP Setia targets St Leonards skyline with 40-storey TOD tower" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="b799673d-48e2-46b0-801a-0e33a9330100" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/atchinson%20site.png?VersionId=dPh0UfwfaHpbFL1R7H1cbZNbIW0CHbCC" />

SP Setia acquired the Atchison Street site as part of its continued expansion into the Australian apartment market. In comments made to City &amp; Country (The Edge Malaysia) in 2023, SP Setia President and CEO Datuk Choong Kai Wai described the acquisition as “a strategic move” aligned with the group’s post-pandemic market recovery strategy.

“Our target for this exceptional development is local and overseas buyers, including first-home buyers, downsizers and investors,” Choong said.

The tower has been designed as a slender vertical form rising from a mixed-use podium, with COX Architecture positioning the development as a response to the evolving St Leonards and Crows Nest skyline.

“The purpose of the project is to facilitate the delivery of high-quality housing at a strategically located site and deliver a built tower outcome that is consistent with the desired future character of St Leonards and aligns with the TOD controls,” the design report stated.

The podium would incorporate retail uses fronting Atchison Street, commercial tenancies, landscaped communal areas, and pedestrian improvements along Mitchell Street. Vehicle access and loading would be consolidated via Atchison Lane.

Residents would have access to more than 665 sqm of communal indoor and outdoor spaces, while the development proposes 96 parking spaces across five basement levels.

The proposal also includes a commitment for 10 per cent of residential floor space to be allocated toward affordable housing through a monetary contribution.

COX said the tower form responds directly to the emerging high-density character of the precinct while seeking to maximise solar access, cross ventilation, and outlook from apartments.

“The building is orientated towards north,” the Apartment Design Guide compliance report noted, adding that the tower’s slim form was driven by the constrained inner-urban site dimensions.

The design also incorporates landscaped setbacks and communal open space at podium level, intended to soften the interface with surrounding streets and improve pedestrian amenity.

The project adds to a growing wave of redevelopment proposals reshaping St Leonards and Crows Nest following the opening of the Sydney Metro City line and the NSW Government’s push for higher-density housing around major transport nodes.

Last week Stockland filed plans just down the road. They want to build a <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/601-pacific-highway-st-leonards-nsw-2065">52-storey tower on Pacific Highway</a>.

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/urban-property-group">Urban Property Group</a> has revealed plans for a new mixed-use tower at 10 Dangar Street, Wickham, advancing a proposal that would reshape the southern gateway to Newcastle’s city centre with one of the city’s tallest residential buildings.

The State Significant Development proposal, now on exhibition, seeks approval for a <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/bowline-10-dangar-street-wickham-nsw-2293">43-storey tower</a> immediately adjacent to the Newcastle Interchange. The project would deliver around 200 apartments, including 42 affordable housing dwellings, alongside 99 co-living units, a 171-room hotel, retail space, and new public domain integrated through the site.

The scheme marks a significant escalation of plans previously approved for the site. Urban Property Group took over the prominent 2,904 sqm parcel, where excavation and demolition had already commenced under an earlier consent for a 14-storey mixed-use development.

<img alt="First look: Urban Property Group unveils Newcastle’s next supertower at Wickham interchange" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="58a96dd9-407f-4d20-86b4-94e4bfeef74b" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/wickham%20podium.png?VersionId=LGlf08pdFGAZDzvx_CXC4XakHNZRuEE0" />

Designed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/sjb-architects">SJB</a>, the tower has been conceived as a landmark transit-oriented development anchored to the Newcastle Interchange precinct. The proposal includes 245 build-to-sell apartments across a mix of one, two, and three-bedroom residences, as well as two penthouses. Fifteen apartments and one operational unit are earmarked for NDIS housing. The co-living component would add a further 99 units, while the podium would accommodate retail uses and hotel facilities.

SJB said the site presents “a valuable opportunity to anchor the precinct by setting the standard for design, active ground planes and character at the key southern gateway.”

The architecture responds directly to the site’s position beside major transport infrastructure and within one of Newcastle’s fastest-evolving urban renewal precincts. The tower form sits above a sculpted podium designed to frame new public spaces, including a through-site pedestrian link connecting Station Street to Hannell Street, landscaped plazas, and activated retail edges.

<img alt="First look: Urban Property Group unveils Newcastle’s next supertower at Wickham interchange" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="a7bd6ff0-f7db-4ce8-a6dc-ea56e72c6149" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/wickham%20lanne.png?VersionId=xzf39VADyhj7zBQY2I9fx9vI62u2tuSb" />

The design report describes the project as part of the broader transition of Wickham into “a vibrant, high-quality mixed-use urban precinct” that leverages proximity to the station, open space, and regional connectivity.

A detailed public art strategy has also been prepared for the development. The strategy positions the project as “a transit-oriented development of state significance at the gateway to Newcastle’s city centre” and outlines a series of integrated artworks responding to Newcastle’s industrial and transport heritage.

Creative Road’s curatorial framework for the project, titled Unveil, draws on “stratified surfaces, carved volumes, and light-filled apertures” while referencing Newcastle’s transformation from an industrial city into a contemporary education and technology hub.

<img alt="First look: Urban Property Group unveils Newcastle’s next supertower at Wickham interchange" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="77a882bb-14b1-4d28-99ff-9438e39508c0" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/wickham%20site.png?VersionId=cevgo_vN0eKPK78P8YcEu3mKPLkpFqE7" />

The proposal is being advanced through the NSW Housing Delivery Authority pathway after being declared State Significant Development in June 2025. The accompanying scoping report states the development aims to “maximise the site’s proximity to the Newcastle Interchange by delivering transit-oriented development” while increasing housing supply and affordable housing provision within the Newcastle LGA.

Urban Property Group’s plans align with the long-term strategic vision established under the Wickham Master Plan, which identified the interchange precinct as suitable for substantial uplift in height and density. The current proposal would significantly intensify that vision, positioning the tower among the tallest developments proposed for Newcastle.

The site sits immediately north of the Newcastle Interchange, bounded by Dangar Street, Hannell Street, and Charles Street. It is surrounded by a rapidly growing cluster of residential towers and mixed-use projects that have emerged following the completion of the light rail and transport interchange.

Bottega House has completed settlement of a landmark riverfront site in Macquarie Street, St Lucia, representing its first major Brisbane development.&nbsp;

Positioned on the banks of the Brisbane River, the <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/180-macquarie-street-st-lucia-qld-4067">premium site at 180 Macquarie Street</a> features uninterrupted river frontage in one of Brisbane’s most tightly held residential precincts.&nbsp;

The proposed development, currently under assessment with Brisbane City Council, has been designed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/plus-studio">Plus Studio</a> with interiors by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/interior-designers/mim-design">Mim Design</a> and will deliver a boutique collection of premium residences positioned specifically for owner occupiers and downsizers.&nbsp;

The residences are set to redefine luxury apartment living in the area, with a focus on architectural quality, refined finishes, landscape integration and elevated amenities including curated wellness facilities, resort-style pools and recreation spaces rarely seen in the local market.&nbsp;

Exclusive sales for the project will be led by Keenan &amp; Byrne, ahead of an anticipated launch later this year.&nbsp;

Bottega House Managing Director Nick Malloch said the project reflects the group’s ambition to deliver a highly curated residential offering within one of Brisbane’s most tightly held precincts.&nbsp;

“This is an incredibly rare riverfront opportunity and one we have approached with a long-term perspective,” Malloch said.&nbsp;

“Our vision from the outset was to create a boutique collection of residences that feel more like private homes than traditional apartments, with generous proportions, refined finishes and exceptional amenity throughout."

Malloch says there is a&nbsp;lack of premium owner-occupier stock of this quality in the market, particularly for downsizers wanting space, privacy and a true lifestyle offering without compromise.&nbsp;

"Demand is expected to be strong given the scarcity of premium riverfront opportunities of this nature within Brisbane’s inner-west."&nbsp;

The arrival of the first piling rig officially marks the commencement of construction at SIERA’s new beachside apartment development, Exhale, in Northcliffe.

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/exhale-surfers-paradise-8-enderley-avenue-surfers-paradise-qld-4217">Exhale</a>, a glass-encased tower featuring 54 large-scale apartments at 8 Enderley Avenue, is SIERA’s third Gold Coast development. It follows the recently completed PIPIS Bilinga beachfront project, which achieved suburb-record prices, and the soon-to-be-completed Chevron Island development, Tapestry.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112661 project_image_fid=359603]

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/siera">SIERA</a> Founder and Managing Director Brent Thompson said the arrival of the piling rig represented a significant milestone for the development, which is scheduled for completion in late 2028.

Over the next month, around 260 piles are expected to be installed as work progresses on the basement structure. The building is anticipated to rise above ground level early next year, before unveiling its sculptural glass curtain wall, developed in collaboration with specialist façade engineers.

“The façade was designed to maximise panoramic coastal views while creating a distinctive architectural identity,” Thompson said.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112661 project_image_fid=355935]

Designed by BDA Architecture, Exhale will comprise just 54 two- and three-bedroom residences across 26 levels, a level of low-density living rarely delivered in this beachside pocket between Surfers Paradise and Broadbeach.

The project has been conceived as a resident-only building, with no short-stay accommodation permitted. SIERA says the model is intended to appeal to long-term owner-occupiers rather than transient holiday demand.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112661 project_image_fid=361052]

Residences have been designed with large-format layouts and expansive glazing, with most apartments featuring more than 30 metres of glass frontage to maximise natural light and ocean views.

The amenity offering spans two levels and centres on wellness and lifestyle, including a heated magnesium pool, sauna, yoga and Pilates studio, gymnasium, private dining facilities, cinema lounge, and dedicated surfcraft storage.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112661 project_image_fid=359607]

More than half of the apartments have already sold. SIERA has also opened a sales gallery for Exhale at its Chevron Island commercial premises, near its Tapestry tower and the site of its second Chevron Island apartment development, which is slated to launch in early 2027.

Lifestyle developer Bottega Group has been granted development approval for the Broadbeach development project 123OBR. 
The development comprises 14 ‘vertical beach houses’ across 17 floors, designed by globally-renowned architects Woods Bagot.
Once complete, the 646 square metre site will boast a ground level five bedroom beach house set over two floors including a private pool; plus 12 full floor homes and a double- storey penthouse. 
123OBR is part of a project pipeline across three sites for the local Queenslanders, who are currently in due diligence on a number of diversified assets across the eastern seaboard of Australia.
Revealing the first design details for 123OBR, Bottega Group managing director Nick Malloch said he and his Bottega Group partners were thrilled to enable a true design collaboration come to life.
 “We wanted 123OBR to feature a vertical stack of beach houses that not only catered for the luxury end of the market, but also offered a design aesthetic that evoked a playful, nautical reference, given its proximity to the beach and the ocean.”
Woods Bagot associate principal David Lee said collaborating with Bottega was a rare opportunity to create a true landmark that would impact the community.
“A home designed with careful consideration of the future resident, and its neighbourhood, and executed with expert craftmanship, carries a sense of permanence,” said David.
“These homes are here for the long run – they will age gracefully in the everchanging coastal environment.”
The architecture of the slender tower is defined by sculpted, raft-like balconies – articulated slab edges that mimic the sand, shaped to provide privacy, but still maintain views and amenity.
David highlights breathable veranda rooms as a design standout, which are concealed from public view and provide entry to each residence.
<div class="page" title="Page 2">
<div class="layoutArea">
<div class="column">
“Entrance directly into a timber lined breezeway is a contemporary interpretation of the traditional Queenslander ‘welcome’, and walking through this space to reach your front door is what makes it so special,” said David.
Nick said not only does 123OBR crystallise the Bottega Group’s vision to contribute to the Broadbeach landscape and its residents aesthetically, but also economically.
“We’re thrilled the 123OBR development poses a significant opportunity to generate local jobs and stimulate the local economy,” Nick said.

Interstate and local buyers have helped drive luxury apartment sales at Signature Broadbeach to a total of $153 million following a busy start to 2020 for the developer Little Projects and marketing agent KM Sales and Marketing.
Sales gathered pace in the first quarter of the year as construction progressed on the $210 million project, which is backed by high-profile Melbourne businessman Paul Little.
Director of KM Sales and Marketing Jayde Pezet said the sales to date mark a successful debut to the Gold Coast market for Little Projects.
“We are pleased to announce that Signature Broadbeach has now secured buyers for 184 of its 245 apartments since its launch,” Mr Pezet said.
In its latest construction update, Little Projects says basement foundations and perimeter walls have been completed and excavations for the four-level basement carpark are well advanced. 
The tower crane is expected to be on site in late April as construction progresses in earnest on the 35-storey development.
Designed for resort-style living in the heart of Broadbeach, Signature Broadbeach is proving to be ‘something for everyone’, including international buyers, according to Leighton Pyke, director of Little Projects.
“Sales and inquiries are coming from a variety of quarters, largely local owner-occupiers and interstate investors, primarily from Sydney, Melbourne and rural Victoria,” said Mr Pyke.
“Interstate investors are purchasing for an income earning lock-and-leave holiday home on the Coast, and that’s been a solid trend since the launch of this project.
“We’ve also had a number of international investors among our buyers, mainly from New Zealand and Japan. Inquiries have been quite healthy across the board.”
Signature Broadbeach has been specifically designed to offer the best in resort-style living within easy access to the urban amenities of one of the Gold Coast’s most sought-after beachside suburbs.
Located at 12-18 Philip Avenue, it is just half a block from a patrolled beach and one block from the centre of Broadbeach. It is within walking distance of Pacific Fair, Star Casino, the Gold Coast Convention and Exhibition Centre and the café and dining heart of Broadbeach.
The development offers a combination of one, two and three-bedroom apartments, all oriented towards the ocean to maximise views, with prices starting from $515,000.
Award-winning design team Rothelowman and SJB Interiors have crafted the project and its interiors with the apartment owner in mind.
“The quality of fittings and the level of resident amenities are among the highlights that buyers have noted within this development, and it’s just as important for investors as it is for the many owner-occupiers who have been won over by Signature,” said Mr Pyke. 
Residents’ amenities include a 50-metre infinity-edge pool and a recreational heart known as Deck at Signature. This comprises an entire level featuring a landscaped lawn area, barbecue and teppanyaki facilities, private lounge and dining room, sauna, steam room and spa, gymnasium and cinema.
<img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/c_scale,w_580,q_auto:good/https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/po.images/2020/4/14/Pool%20-%20Signature%20.jpg" alt="">
Signature Broadbeach is a joint venture between Melbourne-based, international award-winning Little Projects, chaired by Mr. Little, and KM Develop, a leading Australian property development business led by Haydn Law.
Little Projects are considered Melbourne’s premier private developer having delivered over 2,000 apartments and townhouses across the city.
 
KM Develop, operating since 2002, have a combined 65 years’ experience, specialising in project acquisition, development and delivery.
Together the renowned developers have delivered projects totalling over $3.5 billion across residential and commercial markets throughout Australia. 
The luxury Signature Broadbeach development is scheduled for completion in the first half of 2022.

The Gold Coast home of the House Rules 2017 winners has hit the market with a $1,325,000 price tag.
Winners Aaron and Daniella Winter purchased the Broadbeach Waters home in 2015.
During the course of the show they transformed it into a "Palm Springs-inspired oasis".
The waterfront home is listed through Danny Stanley and Jamie Harrison of Kollosche.
Situated at <a href="https://www.realestate.com.au/property-house-qld-broadbeach+waters-131769446" target="_blank">9 Summerland Key</a>, the four bedroom house was originally purchased by the couple for $730,000.
<img src="https://www.urban.com.au/images/2019/8/26/BroadBeach%20Waters%20TT%202.JPG" alt="">
Throughout the course of the show, the property underwent a complete renovation.
“In our house we got as close as possible, we made it a friendly family entertainers’ dream home with many features — not one wall was left untouched,” Daniella told the Gold Coast Bulletin which reported the couple are selling to move onto another project in the area.

ARIA award winning singer-songwriter Amy Shark and her husband Shane, an accountant at the Gold Coast Titans, have upgraded handsomely on the Gold Coast.
The couple have traded in their former 1960s Broadbeach Waters home for a $2.25 million luxury home nearby.
Shark is yet to enjoy the home due to her busy schedule, although she did get to spend Christmas in the five bed waterfront.
She's currently touring in Europe, with concerts across Germany, France, Belgium and England. She tours Australia in May.
<img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/c_scale,w_580,q_auto:good/https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/po.images/2019/2/6/Shark2.jpg" alt="">
Their new home directly meets the Broadwater, with 20 metres of water frontage and an eight metre pontoon.
The home in 910 sqm of architecturally landscaped gardens has been completely refurbished top to bottom in recent years by interior designer Rust Architecture Design, including a recent remodel of the stone bathrooms.
It had been on the market for the first time in 17 years when it sold for $350,000 in 2001.
Spanning 475 sqm of living space, the home has five bedrooms, four bathrooms, a media room and a rumpus room.
Downstairs there's a self-contained bedroom, living room and bathroom with a private entrance.
The kitchen overlooks the dining room and flows to a covered alfresco area and deck that adjoins the swimming pool.

Kollosche Prestige agent Jordan Williams sold the home that initially sought $3 million when first listed at the start of 2017.
The couple recently sought a tenant at $595 a week for their former Broadbeach Waters home which cost them $580,000 in 2015.
Shark is an Indie pop singer songwriter and producer. 
Her debut album Love Monster reached number one on the ARIA chart last year.

Ultiqa Hotels &amp; Resorts has purchased the management rights for the upcoming Little Projects 256-apartment project, Signature Broadbeach through Resort Brokers.
Over 20 local and international groups sought the opportunity to secure the 25-year term agreement covering Signature’s maintenance, letting and real estate rights.
On listing The Urban Developer noted Little Projects expected to see offers over $15 million.
“The management rights to quality buildings of scale are increasingly hard to come by on the Gold Coast, particularly in Broadbeach, where both tourism and real estate markets remain buoyant,” said Little Projects director, Leighton Pyke.
Positioned in the heart of Broadbeach and minutes from patrolled beaches, cafes, public transport, the Star Casino and Pacific Fair Shopping Centre, Signature Broadbeach was the top selling project for the Gold Coast in Q1 and Q2 2018.
On listing last July, Little Projects had reported more than 100 of the luxury units already under contract.

Gold Coast's latest tower in waiting could provide future residents with ultimate flexibility.

Britannia Ave Project Pty Ltd is pushing for dual land use recognition for 36-38 Brittania Avenue, Broadbeach, allowing the project to be considered as both as a typical residential development and as a short-term accommodation development. Applied to each of the tower's 88 apartments, the dual recognition would effectively allow future buyers ownership of their given apartment(s) plus the sanctioned flexibility to offer the property for short and medium-term leasing.

The bid to secure two residential land uses for the tower is opposed to having "the building operate as a traditional ‘hotel’ style development." 

Dubbed Encore Broadbeach, 36-38 Brittania Avenue's apartment mix consists of 22 three bedroom and 66 two bedroom apartments. Spanning 25 storeys, the 88 apartments incorporate some 198 bedrooms, with 96 car parking spaces to service the development.

<figcaption>Broadbeach's latest addition by HHH Architects</figcaption></figure>Design duties fell to Hamilton Hayes Henderson Architects for the 1,214 square metre site.

Reflective of the likelihood that a proportion of dwellings will always be in use as short stay accommodation, 36-38 Brittania Avenue is laden with amenities. Across podium levels two and three, communal features include a pool, residents’ lounge, reading terrace, gym, multiple formal dining areas, a trio of  BBQ areas, yoga lawn and landscaped areas over both levels.

From an overall design perspective, Hamilton Hayes Henderson Architects considers the tower as unique and almost ethereal. "The tower form sits above the lower floors like an extra-terrestrail object - a colourless minimalist abstracted repetitive form above a coloured complex decorative three storey building.

The simple 'black' and 'white' form visible against the sky can be read as a continuous white ribbon that climbs around the dark glass pillar."

<figcaption>Aerial overview of the Brittania Avenue site</figcaption></figure>Submitted with Gold Coast City Council only last week, 36-38 Brittania Avenue is the latest in a string of residential towers to hit planning within the municipality of late. Last week Apartments.com.au <a href="/news/bassar-group-to-test-broadbeachs-luxury-apartment-market-depth">reported on developer Bassar Group's bid</a> to add to Broadbeach's skyline with a luxury residential tower, and <a href="/news/pointcorp-adds-a-luxury-burleigh-heads-project-to-its-boom-portfolio">Pointcorp's push to realise a mid-rise tower</a> in Burleigh Heads.

The upswing in planning submissions for high density residential projects in locations such as Broadbeach, Surfers Paradise, Southport and Burleigh Heads is reflective of the confidence in which developers are currently eyeing the Gold Coast region.

A decision on the merits of Britannia Ave Project Pty Ltd's application is expected during November.

Dual purpose on Broadbeach; Gold Coast's latest tower unveiled

<html><body>
Grande Vista, a luxury Gold Coast Broadbeach Waters estate, on the Sovereign Islands has gone under contract, at a record price.
A local buyer has set an island record surpassing the sale of Baltimore, a mega mansion that changed hands for $11 million in 2006.
It was marketed as one of Australia's premier waterfront mansions by Prestige Property agent Amir Main, who had initial $14.88 million price guidance.
<img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/c_scale,w_580,q_auto:good/https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/po.images/2018/7/30/broadbeach%202.jpg" alt="">
Gold Coast businessman Brian Peat bought the home from the Gold Coast developer John Fish for $7 million in 2010.
The massive seven bedroom, 12 bathroom home spans over 1890 square metres, taking up much of its 2,103 square metre parcel on Sir Lancelot Way.
Entry to the home is through a palatial foyer with elegant marble and wrought iron curved staircase and spectacular views through to the blue vista.

The basement level is accessed by a lift and features a steam room, gym and eight car garage. A cinema room with tiered seating and wet bar sits on the ground floor.
There's a private outdoor teppanyaki kitchen with bbq and a 25 metre lap pool that faces the water.

Grande Vista at Broadbeach Waters under contract at a record price

<html><body>
An application has been submitted for a 54 floor residential tower at Broadbeach, which would be the area's highest beachfront residential tower.
The glass-encased building, dubbed CLASS Broadbeach, will have 46 apartments, including six two bedroom apartments and 34 full-floor three bedroom apartments.
There will be five two-level sky homes and a three-level penthouse.
The tower will be divided into four residential precincts: podium, low rise, high rise and sky rise, reflecting the varying apartment sizes. 
There will also be two levels of recreation and common areas including pools, sauna, gym, bars, media room, office, relaxation zones and event spaces.
At street level, a grand concierge style foyer featuring a ‘green’ living wall, water features and a restaurant with bar will greet residents and guests.
The City of Gold Coast has just received the development application for the tower, which is planned for a 756 sqm corner site at the beach-end of Charles Avenue, right next to the area’s tallest existing building, the eastern Oracle tower.
<img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/c_scale,w_580,q_auto:good/https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/po.images/2018/5/10/broadbeach.jpg" alt="">
CLASS is being put forward by Broadbeach Joint Venture, associated with Brisbane real estate director John Kubatov, who collectively will be spending more than $7 million securing the seven units in the two-level Kurrawa Lodge on the parcel.
While the site currently holds development approval for a 17-level residential-only building, the latest application seeks approval for short-term accommodation and multiple dwelling uses over all 46 apartments.
 Kubatov, who began purchasing and taking options on units in Kurrawa Lodge more than three years ago, said property research showed a gap in the market for ultra-high-end apartments at Broadbeach. 
He said the unique position, just steps from the beach and adjoining high-end shopping, dining and entertainment, demanded a stunning world-class building.
“Ivan Lisinac of RH Frankland and Associates is the lead designer of the project and he has unveiled a jaw dropping design for CLASS, which takes luxury apartment living to a whole new level.
“Class Broadbeach will provide an accommodation experience unrivalled anywhere else on the Gold Coast and fill the high-end gap missed in the product mix of other developments in this distinct desirable area.
 “It will deliver a compelling accommodation choice for celebrities and highly affluent visitors who wish to stay in the central Gold Coast as well as those who wish to buy an exclusive part of beachfront Broadbeach.”
“The exposure and economic benefits for Broadbeach and the Gold Coast both nationally and internationally have potential for an enormous ripple effect in many positive ways.
“It will be an exceptional outcome for Broadbeach.”

Investors are predicted to seek to secure a prime slice of Broadbeach real estate, located in what has proven to be one of the key growth hubs on the Gold Coast.   
The Aria Retail complex positioned on the ground floor of the popular Aria Resort and Boutique Apartments is located in the heart of Broadbeach.
The 1,472 sqm retail holding comprises the entire ground floor retail complex on the ground floor of the Aria building.

It features 14 restaurant and retail tenancies on two separate lots and includes basement parking for 42 vehicles.

Savills Jon Tyson and Peter Tyson are marketing the property with Stewart Gilchrist and Darrell Irwin of Colliers International.
Jon Tyson said the property is on the market for the first time in 15 years, and should be well received in the marketplace.
“Aria Retail is one of the Gold Coast’s first major retail property offerings for 2018 and given its high profile location and diverse tenant line up is expected to draw strong interest from both local and interstate investors,” Jon Tyson said.
Savills’ Peter Tyson said that the Gold Coast is now Australia’s sixth largest city with a growing economy and has matured as an investment destination.
“With a population approaching 600,000 this year, over 12 million tourist visitors annually and over $13.5 Billion in major infrastructure projects, the Gold Coast has come of age.
“The Aria Retail complex is strategically positioned in the primary resort and dining precinct of Broadbeach, within walking distance to key attractions including the Star Casino, the Gold Coast Convention Centre and the city’s expanding light rail system. 
Colliers International’s Stewart Gilchrist said that Aria offers a rare opportunity in today’s market to acquire an entire retail complex in the tightly held central Broadbeach CBD.
