There are just four penthouses as part of the collection, however only three remain for sale, with a Palm Beach local already snapping up one of the apartments prior to its launch.

&nbsp;

“We are thrilled to unveil the debut penthouses within the Flourish story,” said Christie Leet, founder of Sherpa Group.

“The penthouses epitomise unparalleled luxury and contemporary elegance, offering an exclusive experience in modern living.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=146527 project_image_fid=362273]

Located at 6-12 Sixth Avenue, the penthouses will crown Amargo, which will rise 18 levels and offer a diverse product mix of one, two, and three-bedroom apartments, attracting a wide demographic of buyers.&nbsp;

“Creating a multigenerational community is core for us at Sherpa," Leet added.

"Amargo embodies this ethos, welcoming first-home buyers, families and right-sizers alike – ensuring everyone has the opportunity to thrive.”

&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=146527 project_image_fid=362271]

The penthouses, which range in price from just over $3 million to $4.6 million, each have three bedrooms, three bathrooms, and extensive balconies. Select penthouses will have&nbsp;dedicated media rooms. They have four-metre-high ceilings, Gaggenau appliances, and natural stone materials.

Flourish is crowned by an&nbsp;800 sqm rooftop retreat with a&nbsp;pool, pool deck cabanas and day beds, private outdoor barbecues and pizza oven, an internal private dining space, as well as a gym, yoga zones, steam rooms, and hot and cold magnesium pools.

&nbsp;

&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=146527 project_image_fid=306037]

“We’re really excited about what we’re delivering here- Flourish is more than just apartments; it’s about creating a place where people feel truly at home,” Leet said.

Construction is already well underway on Amargo, with residents expected to move in by Q2 2027. The project is around 85 per cent sold.

Builder-developer Urban Property Group (UPG) is continuing to expand into new markets. UPG is heading to the Hills District, where it is planning a 40-storey mixed use building near Castle Hill Metro Station.

They've gone down the favoured developer route of a State Significant Development Application, which should see developments approved within the space of nine months.

The tower will comprise 371 apartments, 42 of which will be affordable housing, above a ground-floor retail precinct at 16-20 Old Castle Hill Road, on the corner of Garthowen Crescent and within walking distance of Castle Hill Metro Station, an area identified for higher density under both local and state strategic planning frameworks.

Designed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/studiosc">Studio SC</a>, the tower would rise from a brick podium base, accommodating one retail tenancy and communal open space, before transitioning to a slender glazed residential form above. Six basement levels are proposed beneath the building to house parking and services.

“Castle Hill is undergoing a significant transformation, evolving from a traditionally low-rise suburban centre into a true metropolitan destination anchored by the Sydney Metro Northwest," the Architectural Design Report prepared by Studio SC noted.

The majority of apartments (194) will be two-bedrooms. 90 one-bedroom apartments are planned, 83 three-beds, and four four-bedroom apartments.

Studio SC’s design adopts a podium-and-tower composition, with warm-toned masonry at the lower levels intended to anchor the building within its streetscape context.

"At the podium, the architecture is anchored through solid brickwork in warm, earthy tones, reflecting the local sandstone formations and the natural colour palette of the surrounding hills," Studio SC added.

Above, the tower transitions to a lighter glass expression, articulated with fins and tonal variation to reduce visual bulk and respond to changing light conditions.

Urban Property Group is one of Sydney's most active developers. They have projects currently under construction in Little Bay, Penrith, and Macquarie Park, with future projects earmarked for Wollongong.

Castle Hill has been one of the most popular suburbs for development across Sydney in the last five years, as developers scramble for land around the newly extended Sydney Metro.&nbsp;

Kassis Homes kicked it all off with Grand Reve, along with Deicorp who has delivered over 1,000 apartments in the area and continues to develop. The likes of Dubai-backed developer Arada will take to market their project in the coming months, while Masscon has just launched Avenue on Cadman Crescent.

One of the Gold Coast’s ‘bridesmaid suburbs’ is experiencing a wave of local suitors, with the latest sales figures from <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/harbour-shores-biggera-waters-564-oxley-drive-biggera-waters-qld-4216">Harbour Shores</a> revealing over two thirds of buyers will be relocating from within a 5km average radius of the 16-hectare masterplan.&nbsp;

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/lewis-land-group">Lewis Land</a> Head of Development Michael Long said the figures underlined a powerful shift for Biggera Waters that would reshape it into a thriving force behind the region’s growth corridor.&nbsp;

“We’ve seen a huge wave of interest from residents of Arundel, Paradise Point and Runaway Bay who recognise the urban transformation that is well underway here and want to be part of it,” Long said.&nbsp;

“Interestingly, 25 per cent of our Gold Coast buyers are also coming from the city’s southern hotspots, including Burleigh and Palm Beach.&nbsp;

“<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/biggera-waters-qld-4216">Biggera Waters</a>, and Harbour Shores in particular, has all the advantages of waterfront living with the benefits of resort-style amenity, for greater value than the southern beachfront suburbs.”&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=113271 project_image_fid=290031]

Long said half of the purchasers at Harbour Shores were under the age of 55.&nbsp;

“When locals choose to stay local, it creates a genuine community, turning the most sustainable master planned community in the Gold Coast’s history into a diverse and vibrant ‘village of villages’.”&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=113271 project_image_fid=336743]

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/project-marketer/colliers">Colliers</a> Gold Coast Sales Director David Higgins said the hyper-local market demand was unique to Harbour Shores when compared to other projects in the region.&nbsp;

“We are seeing as much as 60 per cent of new apartment sales on other projects go to interstate or international buyers, but Harbour Shores is bucking this trend and attracting a larger proportion of the local market,” Higgins said.&nbsp;

“Only 13 per cent of Harbour Shores’ existing purchasers are interstate. There has been a resounding endorsement from local buyers and that validates the project’s vision and investment in design, lifestyle and liveability.”&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=113271 project_image_fid=4579]

Harbour Shores is 16ha visionary masterplan dedicated to wellness and an active, healthy lifestyle. Designed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/bda-architecture">BDA Architecture</a>, Harbour Shores embeds extensive green connections and more than 2.5km in pedestrian networks – including a 1.2km boardwalk along the water’s edge.

Harbour Shores was recently recognised by the BETTER FUTURE World Design Awards 2026 as a silver winner in the category of environmental sustainability. Boasting a 6 Star Green Star Communities V1.1 rating, Harbour Shores will deliver more than 2,000 homes over the next ten years.&nbsp;

The first stage will deliver three residential collections including luxury three and four-bedroom waterfront villas at The Residences, as well as apartments in The Waterline and Palm House, surrounded by resort-style amenities.&nbsp;

Biggera Waters no longer a 'bridesmaid suburb' as Gold Coast locals jump to Harbour Shores

Developer <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/ellipse-property-group">Ellipse Property</a> has officially launched Lily Lane, the second stage of its Carrington Place masterplan in Sydney’s North-West. The new stage will deliver over 200 apartments to the sought-after Hills District, supported by new retail and resident amenity.&nbsp;

Located near the Hills Showground Metro Station at 32 Carrington Road, Castle Hill, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/lily-lane-at-carrington-place-castle-hill-32-carrington-road-castle-hill-nsw-2154">Lily Lane</a> has launched with the release of 105 apartments.

Designed by award-winning architects <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/ptw">PTW</a>, Lily Lane comprises a combined total of 213 units over two 12-storey towers anchored by a ground-floor retail offering. A range of floorplan configurations are available including 67 one-bedroom, 100 two-bedroom and 46 three-bedroom apartments.

One-bedroom apartments are sized from 50-72 sqm with prices starting at $720,000, while two-bedrooms are priced from $960,000 with sizes ranging from 75 to 132 sqm. The three-bedroom floorplans are sized between 97 and 182 sqm, with prices starting at $1,350,000.&nbsp;

Six exclusive penthouses crown the Lily Lane towers, offering opulent interiors of up to 285 sqm. They are priced from $2.9 million.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=151821 project_image_fid=360285]

Blake Schulze, National Director – Residential at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/project-marketer/colliers">Colliers</a>, says Lily Lane builds on the sell-out success of Carrington Place’s first stage, Atrium.&nbsp;

“Lily Lane offers everything north-west buyers are seeking - including spacious, flexible floorplans with premium finishes and sweeping views of the Hills District to the north," Schulze said.

"Its central location brings residents even closer to Hills Showground Metro Station, with retail, dining, recreation and essential services at their fingertips.

Schulze says early enquiries reflect pent-up demand for Lily Lane’s three-bedroom and penthouse apartments, reinforcing the appetite for house-sized units in <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/castle-hill-nsw-2154">Castle Hill</a>,&nbsp;especially among downsizers.

Lily Lane has sought to incorporate features that are more&nbsp;traditional in freestanding homes. Over 75 per cent of residences include dedicated studies, multipurpose rooms or family rooms, with select layouts offering walk-in pantries and laundries.

Buyers have two interior colour schemes to choose from. ‘Breeze’ is a light-toned palette with warm timber accents, and ‘Dawn’ is a cooler mid-toned colourway.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=151821 project_image_fid=360572]

Apartments also feature premium Miele appliances, including ovens, washing machines, dryers, gas cooktops and dishwashers. Larger homes offer integrated Miele microwaves, Fisher &amp; Paykel integrated refrigerators and five-burner Miele cooktops.

Lily Lane’s ‘village-style’ architectural design is designed to maximise walkability and access to green space. Its two elegant towers are separated by a central landscaped laneway lined with lily plants, giving the project its name.&nbsp;

The towers will be crowned by rooftop terraces with BBQ areas offering views of the Hills District. Residents can also access a shared community room, complete with a fully equipped kitchen.

“As the gateway to the wider Carrington Place masterplan, this new stage delivers a premium experience,"&nbsp;said Puja Khanna, Associate Director – Design, Marketing and Sales at Ellipse Property.

"It features beautifully curated landscaping, refined interiors and architecture designed to maximise space, light and views. With a supermarket and essential services just minutes away, the addition of Lily Lane’s ground-floor retail will elevate everyday convenience and deliver a vibrant precinct for residents.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=151821 project_image_fid=360286]

Lily Lane will be constructed by award-winning iCIRT-rated builder Decode Group, with construction to commence in mid-2026 and expected to complete early 2029.

Carrington Place comprises more than 800 apartments and is being delivered across multiple stages. Completion of the masterplan is expected in 2032. Integrated with neighbouring bushland, the project will feature over 20,000 square metres of outdoor recreational area, including a one-kilometre boardwalk to the nearby Fred Caterson Reserve.&nbsp;

The Hills Showground Metro Station is just a two-minute walk away, offering fast connectivity to Sydney’s CBD, North Sydney, Chatswood, Macquarie Park and Norwest Business Park.

Ellipse launches Lily Lane, stage two of Carrington Place

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/one-global-capital">One Global Capital</a>, a Sydney-based global property development and investment firm, is set to transform a 1.4-hectare site in Five Dock into a $1.5 billion mixed-use precinct.

The integrated precinct is planned to include 750 apartments across five residential towers, a 150-key hotel, around 10,000 sqm of retail and lifestyle space, as well as health and wellness facilities, extensive landscaped open space, and community amenities.

Planning approval submission is targeted for June 2026.

One Global Capital Founder Iwan Sunito told Apartments.com.au that the Five Dock site, which he has owned for over two decades, is one of the best he's ever had.

"I probably hadn't appreciated the uniqueness of the site until more recently when putting together the concept plans," Sunito says.

"The proximity to the water, and the golf course opposite, is unlike any other part of Parramatta Road. We have a unique position and view corridors over the water that makes this one of the best sites I've worked on."

<img alt="Urban renewal in Five Dock via mixed-use precinct" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="76667592-c421-49f5-9ab8-45cfec815651" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Five%20Dock%201.png?VersionId=puhL_lSxd5IB5VA9fQKPsKHgmkinuwuI" />

Sunito said he wants to create a "city within a city", designing a multi-cultural precinct with the convenience of retail and public space at the forefront.

"We want to create a development that's not only to be seen, but to be experienced by the whole local community."

He adds that the Five Dock is emerging into a "really solid suburb", with the growth in&nbsp;the area continuing to be supported by rising residential values across the Canada Bay and Leichhardt local government areas, driven by major infrastructure investment and enhanced transport connectivity.&nbsp;

The new precinct will benefit from close proximity to a key transport network, including the Five Dock Metro Station, located approximately 1.1 kilometres from the site. The new Burwood Metro stop will be just 800m.

The project marks a renewed collaboration between Sunito and internationally acclaimed architect <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/koichi-takada-architects">Koichi Takada</a>, the creative partnership behind some of Sydney’s most recognisable residential landmarks, &nbsp;including Infinity, Arc, and Skye North Sydney.&nbsp;

<img alt="Urban renewal in Five Dock via mixed-use precinct" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="a9184a45-f429-4628-87ce-9bd6c70cb597" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Five%20Dock%202.png?VersionId=zJZRfLAZCkpww5VcmR_wgRXjoaSgPSyv" />

“The concept for this development is born from our design approach to naturalising architecture," Koichi Takada said.

"The public realm benefits from biophilic design that integrates generous landscaping, and the development is optimised &nbsp;for natural daylight, airflow and water views to foster wellbeing, sustainability and spaces that foster community interaction."

A key feature of the mixed-use development will be a lifestyle retail precinct, offering shopping and dining &nbsp;experiences - including a proposed state-of-the-art car showroom - as well as communal spaces for community &nbsp;use. Veteran retail and commercial property practitioner, Simon McTigue, has been engaged to consult on the &nbsp;delivery and leasing of the retail precinct, having previously worked on notable mixed-use projects such as East &nbsp;Village Shopping Centre in Zetland and South Village Shopping Centre Kirrawee, as well as other projects with &nbsp;Iwan Sunito in Green Square and Parramatta, to name a few.&nbsp;

“The Five Dock site offers a unique opportunity for retailers, conveniently located within easy walking distance &nbsp;of the metro station. On completion, the integrated precinct will provide the community with a new Inner West &nbsp;town centre, offering daily convenience via a proposed large format supermarket and fresh food precinct, as well &nbsp;as a restaurant and café district situated alongside key services such as a medical and health centre. It will be a &nbsp;place to live, work and play,” said Simon McTigue, Director of Wallaringa Consulting.&nbsp;

Samuel Sunito, Director of Capital at One Global Capital, confirmed strong inbound interest from both domestic and global investors seeking co-investment opportunities in the project. “We are currently engaging with &nbsp;investors both locally but also globally from Indonesia, the United States, China, Singapore, Vietnam, and Dubai &nbsp;to ensure alignment of vision and long-term value creation,” he said.&nbsp;

Investment participation will remain open until approximately Q2 2026, with equity allocations managed selectively.&nbsp;

“Equity available to the broader market will be limited, with priority given to long-standing capital partners. In terms of One Global Capital’s investment philosophy, we will continue to retain majority ownership, ensuring &nbsp;strong alignment of interests and preserving the long-term integrity of the project for all stakeholders,” Samuel &nbsp;said.

Burleigh Heads

The laid-back atmosphere and the closeness to Gold Coast's best beaches, national parks and family-friendly areas continue to attract homebuyers to Burleigh Heads, one of Queensland's most sought-after coastal communities.

21 Property Group met the demand with the Burleigh Beach Houses, a&nbsp;limited collection of four-bedroom townhouses, each offering an oversized 330 sqm of living space spread across three levels.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=141528 project_image_fid=220051]

The beach houses capture the relaxed yet refined essence of Burleigh Heads with its understated weatherboard and rendered façade softened by lush greenery cascades from the garden beds above—symbolic of the surf, sand and national parks of Burleigh.

The location is one of the key components of Burleigh Beach Houses. It's ideally located to be just a five-minute walk from&nbsp;highly rated restaurants, bars and cafes, such as The Little Plate, Street Corner Espresso, Commune Cafe, and Crispy Italian Bar.

Heading five-minutes south of the townhouses, residents can shop their produce at the Village's Market and Burleigh Farmers Market every Saturday. The Burleigh Heads State School is also conveniently located in this vicinity.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=141528 project_image_fid=220042]

Across the street, residents can conveniently grab a snack from Pie Pie on their way to The Esplanade, which is just 550 metres away, or enjoy the cosmopolitan James Street cuisine scene approximately 900 metres from the property. Two kilometres further south lies the Stockland Burleigh Heads Shopping Centre, located in the industrial precinct of the suburb.

Directly across the road from Burleigh Beach Houses are the 700 and 765 bus stop routes, providing a convenient half-hour commute north to the Broadbeach South Station.

Beyond the dining and shopping convenience, Burleigh Beach Houses is surrounded by abundant natural features.&nbsp;

The iconic Burleigh Beach shoreline is just a short walk away. At the same time, for hiking enthusiasts, the Burleigh Ridge Park and Burleigh Head National Park offer various trails like the Rainforest Track, Ocean View Lookout Track, and Ocean View Track within a 10-minute drive.&nbsp;

For a more relaxed experience, families can ride their bikes to Burleigh Lake, where parents can enjoy a steaming cup of espresso at Lakeview Espresso or a picnic with the whole family at Lake View Park.

Construction completion of Burleigh Beach Houses is slated for the second quarter of 2024.

Laidback coastal luxury: How Burleigh Beach Houses offer the best of Burleigh Heads

The Gold Coast is always at its busiest over Christmas, as southern capital dwellers heading to the Sunshine State over the holidays.

And that's not lost on some developers who know there is always a considerable amount of interest in property over the booming December and January period.

Online search is up, and so is foot traffic. With just two months to go until the end of the year, a number of developers have seen enough early enquiry to be getting their projects in market before we close 2022 and new projects start launching in 2023.

We've had a look at the best Gold Coast projects launching before the end of 2022.

<h2>Project: North 
Developer: Gallery Group 
Address: 211 Surf Parade, Surfers Paradise 
Apartments: 93</h2>

The national property developer Gallery Group is set to launch North, its sister project to Chalk on Surf Parade, in the coming weeks.

There will be 93 apartments in North, which will be taller than Chalk at 28 levels. Over two thirds of the product mix in North is two-beds. There will be 26 three-bed apartments and two four-bedroom skyhomes, as well as a ground level business centre, a gym on level 11, and a pool on level 12.

<img alt="North pool" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="e9c20931-776f-48ad-af1d-ad9afd4dbc0d" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202022-11-03%20at%203.34.38%20pm.png?VersionId=4Wrb8HmKOV.kxsPf2lI93rRPbozlZGjH" />

&nbsp;

North has been designed by architects MAS, who&nbsp;took cues from Chalk. The aim was to create a "distinctly recognisable form that integrates into the established character of the area, whilst complementing its southern neighbour.

"Apartments have been designed with coastal living at the forefront of mind, with expansive living zones transitioning out to articulated balconies, offering privacy and comfort and encouraging the notion of sub-tropical Queensland living," MAS noted in their submission to the Gold Coast Council.

<h2>Project: Holm Rainbow Bay 
Developer: Chapter Two 
Address: 44-50 Eden Avenue, Rainbow Bay 
Apartments: 86</h2>

Two-bedroom apartments are expected to start in the $800,000's, one of the most affordable products in the area which has been one of the hottest pockets since the pandemic.

They'll offer a rare trifecta of views, with ocean river and Gold Coast hinterland outlooks, including views over Snapper Rocks.

Designed by Plus Architecture, some&nbsp;of the two-bedders will offer additional multi-purpose rooms, the same deal with the three-bedroom apartments.

<img alt="Holm" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="2d030112-6935-4f15-a1f6-a5b5d4cf4d17" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202022-11-03%20at%2012.12.06%20pm.png?VersionId=eZVoip58gGvml87XjerkM0i8ZNquRp.3" />

“The major appeal of this site is the unobstructed ocean views because that is what people expect when they visualise their sea change on the Gold Coast,” said Leo Sarris, who heads up Bassar Construction Group alongside Simon Bassil.

“Our commitment and focus remain in Broadbeach because we feel it is the suburb that caters for everyone and everything you need is within walking distance.” Located opposite Broadbeach State School, the site is currently home to two seventies-style blocks of flats across two titles."

Gold Coast-based Plus Architecture was engaged to conceive a slender design which improves upon an existing development approval sold with the site.

Eternity will offer three and four-bedroom floor plans ranging from 190 sqm to 300 sqm, in addition to the 500 sqm for the penthouse suites.

Apartments will each have a double garage, while the penthouses come with triple car parking, a rooftop terrace and a plunge pool.

The extensive amenity, wrapped in terraces with seating and dining areas, features a pool, gym, lounge space, a private barbecue and dining space which can be hired, and a communal barbecue area.

Also part of the level is extensive co-working space, with a number of single desk pods, office spaces, and boardroom-style rooms.

There will be a maximum of&nbsp;five apartments per floor, with just three three-bedroom apartments per level on the higher floors.&nbsp;

Morris Property Group's second project is in Burleigh Heads, where they'll be launching a 25-level development around Christmas.

The new residential apartment building will comprise a majority of two-bedroom apartments with limited three-bedrooms located on levels 19 and above.

The building will also include four levels of underground car parking and an entire level dedicated to residents recreational facilities.

Company director Barry Morris acquired the double-block site last year through Antonio Mercuri’s GV Property Group following an expressions of interest campaign.

"We saw a great opportunity for this site as it's ideally positioned to offer direct access to popular destinations including James Street and Goodwin Terrace," Morris told Urban.

The planned apartment building is next to the previous MPG project Boardwalk Burleigh and will be the group's&nbsp;fifth project in Burleigh Heads.

MPG are currently building Sanbar Burleigh Beach nearby.

The top 6 Gold Coast apartment developments still to launch in 2022

Veteran Gold Coast apartment developer David Devine is making his Esplanade, Miami apartment development larger.

He's scrapped plans for the sold-out $105 million Alba Residences, on the border of Miami and Burleigh, after buying the site next door. Now he's planning for a $400 million apartment tower designed by the renowned architecture firm Koichi Takada.

There will be 100 apartments planned for the 24-level tower, now on a 2024 sqm site across 264 and 266 Esplanade.

The project will now be known as Burly, and will also feature improved&nbsp;amenities for residents on the lower levels.

<img alt="The Burly" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="e639f3ec-623a-48e6-87f2-44b8414ff818" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screen%20Shot%202022-10-05%20at%2010.04.14%20am.png?VersionId=qEKIApg3sj1LnuSmob9nHwLER6cR4uY5" />

In the statement submitted to the Gold Coast City Council, Takada noted that Burly&nbsp;is inspired by the waves crashing against the beach directly across the road.&nbsp;

"With a fluid silhouette and dynamic facade, the building is designed to read from the street as a series of staggered wavelike forms floating above a more solid, grounded base," the report read.&nbsp;

"The building is located on an amalgamated site with a wide 40 metre frontage, affording the opportunity to position the development with generous setbacks to the side boundaries and still provide residents with extensive, lush landscaped areas and well-proportioned residential spaces.

<img alt="The Burly tower" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="c753ec72-4117-4c44-ba4f-852633c1c811" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screen%20Shot%202022-10-05%20at%2010.04.19%20am.png?VersionId=zxwGVQgDuoTCDgxupSl4pUZPw1kFpFZc" />

"A series of operable screens spanning the length of the sides allow occupants to control privacy and shading, while creating a dynamic, layered facade.&nbsp;

Apartment layouts will also be oriented to maximise views and natural light from the living areas. Uniquely, the size of the site is such that it allows all apartments, including those at the rear, to capture the distant views from their living areas and balconies.&nbsp;

The plans for Burly doubles DD Living’s development portfolio on the Gold Coast to $800 million after the company kicked off construction of its $400 million Royale Gold Coast in Surfers Paradise in August.

There will be 100 apartments planned for the 24-level tower, now on a 2024 sqm site across 264 and 266 Esplanade.

David Devine lodges new North Burleigh apartment plans 

The busy South East Queenslander apartment developer Spyre Group, who recently set the record for the most expensive apartment in Queensland at their Glasshouse, Burleigh Heads project, are set to take on a new development in the same suburb.

They've lodged plans for Basalt, 46 apartments at&nbsp;1871 Gold Coast Highway, just one row back from Ed Harry Park and the beach and across the road from Burleigh Heads State School.

The design was all about the headland, DKO Architecture noted in their design submission to the Gold Coast City Council.

"The [Jellurgual] Burleigh headland area has been a place of special stories for the Kombumerri people for 30,000 years," DKO stated.

"The headland is a living museum and habitat for many rare plant species - dominated by a littoral rainforest, a dry form of rainforest which grows only by the sea.

"Taking inspiration from the [Jellurgual] Burleigh headland, the protective dense vegetation of the rainforest and the filtered views is reflected in the building's plan."

<img alt="The outside of a tower" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="32b09b62-37ac-4a6f-8175-df2c0e751ea1" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screen%20Shot%202022-09-23%20at%2010.37.14%20am.png?VersionId=Hg5KXciLPR06FAK_pvkfC45csmeCRZ9W" />

The building caters for a number of buyers, with 14 two-bedroom apartments and 32 three-bedders across the 18-level building, which complies with the 53m above ground level restriction in the area.

There's around 240 sqm of resident amenity, including a 90 sqm private dining space on level two, and a 10 metre pool, deck, and gym, on level three.

The building opens up to the views in the more public spaces in the apartment, DKO suggest, like the edge of the dry rainforest overlooking the rocky edged ocean.

<img alt="The outside of a tower" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="45dd18b1-884e-4d8c-82dc-32ae3ca501fc" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screen%20Shot%202022-09-23%20at%2010.37.23%20am.png?VersionId=KXHBnmmVgov.1BoUg7QMkjcaWbpgHqS0" />

&nbsp;

Town Planning Report by Urban Strategies believes the development will deliver an innovative and attractive piece of architecture that will complement and contribute to the emerging Burleigh Heads skyline.

"A central feature of the design is to modulate the long axis of the building. Consequently, the typical tower floor plate is incredibly slender and has significant variation in plan form to provide articulation.

"Additional design features such as vertical landscaping (occurring adjacent to the core of the north and south façade) and a unique perforated metal spiral screen will provide built form relief and 3-dimensional effects. The screens span the full height of the building."

The site currently contains a three to four-level apartment building that comprises of 12 apartments.

Spyre Group secured the $20 million sale of the penthouse in their nearby Goodwin Terrace development Glasshouse, earlier this year, which was not only the biggest off the plan apartment sale in Queensland, it was the biggest sale of any apartment.

Spyre recently launched their new Toowong apartment development, Arc Residences, a striking 28-apartment building by bureau^proberts.

Last year they sold out Cala Dei, the apartment redevelopment of the Hotel Komune Resort at Coolangatta's Greenmount Beach. They're also putting the finishing touches to their other Burleigh Heads project, Natura.

The design was all about the headland, DKO Architecture noted in their design submission to the Gold Coast City Council.



Exclusive first look: Spyre submit Burleigh Heads apartment project inspired by the headland

New Zealand property developer&nbsp;Nigel McKenna is set to develop a small collection of luxury apartments in Burleigh Heads.&nbsp;

McKenna, whose projects include&nbsp;the Sofitel in Auckland, the Hilton in Queenstown and the InterContinental in Fiji, has lodged plans for just four&nbsp;apartments at 10 Ikkina Road,&nbsp;in a sought-after&nbsp;pocket near&nbsp;Koala Park, tucked away behind the Burleigh Heads National Park and Tallebudgera Creek.

The Australian-based&nbsp;designmilkstudio has been commissioned to design the apartments to embrace the best of coastal living.

<img alt="" height="932" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/screen_shot_2022-07-08_at_4.49.43_pm.png" width="1790" />

The group, which also has offices in Singapore and Malaysia, &nbsp;is spearheaded by its founding director, Christine McKenna-Farr, who&rsquo;s career spans over 25 years in the industry, working at some of the world&rsquo;s top tier firms&nbsp;including DWP and Woods Bagot.

Set to provide Koala Park with a new, quality-design apartment complex, McKenna-Farr said the project will offer apartments that align with the surrounding location and wellness lifestyle. &nbsp;

&ldquo;Ikkina Road offers the authenticity of coastal living, with this new development offering contemporary design with an artist edge,&quot; McKenna-Farr noted in the planning documentation.

<img alt="" height="934" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/screen_shot_2022-07-08_at_4.49.05_pm.png" width="1912" />

Designed across three-levels, each floor will be divided from east to west, generating a linear plan, maximising cross flow ventilation and natural light into each of the apartments.

Generously-sized master bedrooms feature ensuites and an adjoining nine sqm balcony, with the second-bedroom attached to an additional bathroom, while a dedicated home office spaces, round out the rest of the closed-off spaces.

Following an open-plan layout, an alfresco living space connects directly to the living and kitchen areas, with floor-to-ceiling sliding doors seamlessly blending the outdoors with the in.

&ldquo;Linear circulation allows a generous entry space and a &lsquo;gallery&rsquo; for hanging art, with the alfresco dining areas embracing the morning sun , and indirectly illuminating the living and open plan kitchen areas,&rdquo; McKenna-Farr added.

Each apartment will also benefit from an exclusive Sky Garden, with the expansive space adding an additional area to each apartment on the rooftop.

<img alt="" height="942" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/screen_shot_2022-07-08_at_4.48.55_pm.png" width="1920" />

Each of the gardens will be emblazoned with lush greenery, in addition to barbecue facilities, seating and lounges, a shaded pergola area, and an outdoor shower, with views towards the Burleigh skyline and the surrounding parks and Tallebudgera Creek.

Designed as vertical &lsquo;Art Garden&rsquo;, a centrally located staircase will provide access to each apartment, in addition to a commissioned art mural on the north-eastern wall.

The exterior is simple and contemporary acknowledging the local architecture of the 60&rsquo;s and 70&rsquo;s.

The built form has a double skinned fa&ccedil;ade, with both fixed and operable full-height screens, for both privacy and sun shading.

&ldquo;The screens are designed sit flush with the suspended slab construction, allowing the building form to seamlessly transition into the surrounding street, and next door development,&rdquo; McKenna-Farr also noted.

<img alt="" height="910" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/screen_shot_2022-07-08_at_4.48.45_pm.png" width="1898" />

Sitting just north of the Burleigh Heads CBD and Burleigh Heads Stockland, residents will be just a five-minute drive, via either the Gold Coast Highway or Tabilban Street, to the heart of town.

The neighbourhood also benefits from its proximity to Tallebudgera Creek and its associated recreation spaces, both along the northern and southern banks, with the Tallebudgera Leisure Centre and Burleigh Head National Park both within walking distance.

New Zealand developer lodges plans for Burleigh Heads apartments

Set to launch its mutli-billion dollar La Pelago in Surfers Paradise to the local market soon, the&nbsp;national apartment developer GurnerTM has their eyes on their next Gold Coast project.

It's something completely different to La Pelago, which will see around 800 apartments built on its prime Ferny Ave site.

GurnerTM, led by prominent developer Tim Gurner, has put together something more boutique for its Burleigh Heads site that was secured late last year.

Gurner&nbsp;has had their go-to Melbourne-based architecture firm Warren &amp; Mahoney create a 22-level tower at 1929 Gold Coast Highway, which will home 80 apartments.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=111880 project_image_fid=200327]

It's more affordable owner-occupier stock than some in the area, with the building&nbsp;dominated by large two-bedroom apartments.

There's just eight three-bedroom apartments, including the sprawling full floor penthouse. There's 64 two-beds, each with a multi-purpose room. There's a single two-bed, two-bath apartment, and one one-bed unit.

The resident amenity, oriented to have views of Burleigh Beach and the hinterlands, is located on the roof&nbsp;and features a pool and a barbecue space.

In their architect statement submitted to the local council, Warren &amp; Mahoney noted the two key elements of the Burleigh Beach project, proximity and aspect.

"These elements craft orientation and enable each home to be unique. By considering first principles and designing from the inside out, the floorplates allow occupants to be at the forefront."

They said the design emulates an architectural style unique to its context, taking cues from&nbsp;Burleigh Beach, Tallebudgera Creek and the National Park.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=111880 project_image_fid=200329]

"Upon arrival, residents and visitors are drawn into the dense landscape followed by gentle ripples of the water reminiscent of evenings at the Pavillion.

"These undulations travel the facades and carve grooves for landscaping to seamlessly emerge.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=111880 project_image_fid=200328]

"Soft edges and blurred boundaries between interiors and landscaping, paired with light timber finishes, allow for a truly immersive oasis experience."

Warren &amp; Mahoney write that the above elements on their own do not define the design.

"To be an expression of its&nbsp;context we have carried on the language of modern Burleigh - the vernacular has directed blended forms blurring beachside living with lush landscape.

"Expressed within the structure, the journey and the abode provide an experience of being in and around nature."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=111880 project_image_fid=200326]

GV Property Group's Luke Reaby, who sold the site to Gurner, says interstate developers are bringing a fresh set of eyes and design to the Gold Coast strip.

"We welcome interstate developers at is Creating more competition in demanded suburbs, and setting a benchmark for a higher level of finish and architectural flair," Reaby says, adding that there's still plenty of interest from interstate developers who still see value in the Gold Coast development market.

The GV team are working with Gurner on his third local acquisition.

Exclusive first look: Tim Gurner lodges Burleigh Heads apartment plans

Koichi Takada&nbsp;is back on the Burleigh beachfront.

He&#39;s drawn up designs to the latest apartment tower to be filed with the Gold Coast City Council at 216 Esplanade, a prime spot across the road from the sand,&nbsp;and on the same strip as one of his few Gold Coast developments, SEA by prominent Burleigh Heads developer FORME.

Dubbed Palms, it will be another high-end boutique development on the beach, with just 28 half and full-floor apartments proposed across a 17-level tower.&nbsp;

<img alt="" height="966" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/screen_shot_2022-06-30_at_2.10.44_pm.png" width="1160" />

The three-bed apartments, 23 of them, will start from 205 sqm&nbsp;internally, and the five four-bedroom apartments start from 411 sqm of living space across a full floor. They will have a butler&#39;s pantry in the kitchen, a second living space/rumpus room, and high-end wine storage.

The tower will be crowned with two two-level penthouses, with the 295 sqm half floor apartments on level one, with level two set to home a huge master suite, an outdoor dining terrace with built-in barbecue kitchen, a sun deck, and a private plunge pool.

The resident amenity is located on the&nbsp;second&nbsp;level, where there will be a resort-style pool with ice bath, hot tub, two saunas, and an outdoor shower. A lounge zone will meet a barbecue space, and toward the rear of the building is a gym with an outdoor space, and a yoga studio. A three-bedroom apartment is also located on this level, with its own plunge pool in a wrap around garden.

<img alt="" height="1008" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/screen_shot_2022-06-30_at_2.17.08_pm.png" width="1606" />

Takada says the development is inspired by its natural surroundings.

&quot;216 The Esplanade is designed in homage to the coastal locale, with a sculptural form evocative of ocean waves and composed of materials that reference nature and the lifestyle aspect of Burleigh Heads,&quot; Takada wrote in the design statement in the development application.

<img alt="" height="1002" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/screen_shot_2022-06-30_at_2.17.12_pm.png" width="1602" />

&quot;The distinctive design of the building and its sculptural features are intended to position the building as a landmark in this visually prominent location and in turn as a catalyst to encourage higher quality development ion the adjoining area.

Takada has designed only a handful of apartment projects on the Gold Coast, all of which have been in Burleigh Heads&nbsp;and for developer FORME. Norfolk, the recently completed development by FORME and Takada,&nbsp;has won multiple awards and has become a design icon on an international level.

Koichi Takada back with new luxury Burleigh Heads apartment development

Glasshouse by Spyre Group is set to become a landmark for years to come on the Burleigh Heads dress circle, Goodwin Terrace,&nbsp;which is already lined with some of the Gold Coast&#39;s most architecturally impressive apartment developments.

Glasshouse already homes one of the most expensive apartments in Queensland, a two-level penthouse which was recently snapped up by an interstate purchaser for a record $20 million.

Spyre Group, who have created a number of striking projects up and down South East Queensland from Brisbane to Coolangatta, knew the importance of the securing the right architect for the rare site.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=104773 project_image_fid=188871]

They gave the renowned architecture firm bureau^proberts a simple but powerful brief, &quot;create the impossible.&quot;

Bureau^proberts Project Design Leader Dan Liddy says Glasshouse&#39; brings something stridently new to Burleigh Heads.

&quot;From the outset Spyre were clear in their pursuit for an unrepeatable outcome, expressively crafted and uniquely Burleigh. As such, we knew we needed to challenge the conventions of boutique design,&quot; Liddy says.

Liddy says the prospect of creating something like Glasshouse excited the team when they saw the site.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=104773 project_image_fid=188873]

&quot;This exceptional site gave us astonishing design possibilities,&quot; Liddy suggested.

&quot;For a team of creative thinkers, the extraordinary stretch of beachfront - backdropped by one of Australia&rsquo;s most identifiable headlands, offered abundant design opportunities.

&quot;We knew we wanted to capture and amplify the natural qualities of this extraordinary place and ayer those with a work of architecture that was as distinctive and as rare as the site itself.

&quot;Through a deep understanding of the qualities of this site, the architecture creates an expression that honours a coastal landscape and reinforces a strong sense of belonging to its place,&quot; Liddy says.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=104773 project_image_fid=189482]

&quot;Glasshouse enables residents to experience the landscape with minimal visual disruption and maximum atmospheric impact while creating a work of enduring architectural value.

There are just three apartments in the boutique development. Only two remain, given the recent penthouse sale. They will each span a whole floor, one offering 300 sqm of indoor and outdoor living space and another over 400 sqm.

Each apartment has been designed to orientate the living spaces to the north, capturing the never-to-be-built-out views across the ocean. The entertaining starts from the kitchen, where there&#39;s the most impressive island bench, crafted out of natural materials.

Liddy says Glasshouse does not just offer&nbsp;luxury apartments, they are hyper-luxury residences.

&quot;There&rsquo;s nothing &lsquo;routine&rsquo; about these spaces. For residents, it&rsquo;s a sanctuary that amplifies the divine qualities of the location&mdash;drawing inside the sound of waves, salt-laden breezes and tempered, sub-tropical sunlight.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=104773 project_image_fid=189487]

&quot;Uniquely - the spatial experience reveals as a trilogy of realms which move from open toward the beachfront, invited at the centre of the plan and private where retreat spaces nestle into the foothills of Burleigh Heads.

&quot;As the sequence of rooms move further from the shoreline, the interior transitions from dissolved and open, to spaces gradually becoming more sheltered and introverted. The defining experience of hyper-luxury plays out in moments of ambiguity &ndash; between inside and outside, garden and sculpture and the grounded and immersive experiences of rooms and spaces.

Liddy says the&nbsp;architecture embodies the qualities of the Burleigh Headland, its natural, permanent forms, revealed in the solid and planted elements of the fa&ccedil;ade, balconies, and rooftop.

How bureau^proberts designed Spyre Group's Glasshouse at Burleigh Heads

Burleigh Heads is one of the most popular&nbsp;suburbs across the whole of the Gold Coast when it comes to multi-res apartment developments.

Given how in demand higher density projects are, it&#39;s rare to see a boutique project in the pipeline.

A recent development application lodged by K2H Developments, in a joint venture with&nbsp;Golconda Property Group, will see just four townhouse-style dwellings created at&nbsp;8 Bullimah Avenue -&nbsp;just one street back from Tallebudgera Creek and just the other side of the Gold Coast Highway from Burleigh Head National Park.

They will be&nbsp;built on the 550 sqm site and will each have three-bedrooms and two-bathrooms across the three levels, as well as a garaging for two cars.

&ldquo;Each dwelling has been carefully designed to make the best use of the site whilst enhancing the visual appreciation of the site,&rdquo; UPS said in their development application documents.

<a href="/buildings/beju-residences-8-bullimah-avenue-burleigh-heads"><img alt="" height="776" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/screen_shot_2022-05-06_at_12.39.56_pm.png" width="970" /></a> 
A render of the proposed development at 8 Bullimah Avenue, Burleigh Heads. Image sourced.&nbsp;

Designed by Mi Design Studio, the ground floor will include the garage of each unit and a mud room and store area. The rear of each residence will also include the bin store and clothesline and a small landscape strip.

Each dwelling is benefitted by their own separate access with unit one with its own private access from a separate entrance off Bullimah Avenue and unit four accessed from the rear. Each dwelling has access to the floors above by way of stairs and lift.

The first floor will home the three-bedrooms and two-bathrooms, including an ensuite, with the second-floor featuring the living, kitchen and dining areas, following an open-plan layout that flows seamlessly onto the adjoining balcony areas.

The roof terrace will be open in nature, providing a private open space for the occupants of each dwelling, benefiting from views around the site. The space will also include a stairway, lift, powder room and laundry.

Each unit has a north-eastern aspect with units one and four also benefitting from aspects to the east and north-west respectively.

Benefiting from close proximity to a number of public transport, retail, dining, education and entertainment options, the site is within walking distance to the Koala Park neighbourhood centre, just 1.2-kilometres to Stockland shopping centre and 100-metres from a bus stop along the Gold Coast Highway.

Four residences are set to be built across the 550 sqm site, each with three-bedrooms and two-bathrooms, along with a powder room, and a two-car garage over three-storeys.



Townhouse-style dwellings set for Burleigh Heads site

The Gold Coast apartment market has been rocked with a $20 million sale, breaking every record in the Sunshine State.

The two-level penthouse in Glasshouse in Burleigh Heads, which features one of the most impressive rooftops money could buy, has sold for not only an apartment record (both of​f the plan and established) in the Gold Coast, but the whole of Queensland.

It&#39;s topped some of the best penthouses in Brisbane, and even the apartments that line Noosa&#39;s beachfront Hastings Street strip.

The penthouse, one of just three apartments in South East Queensland developer Spyre Group&#39;s dress circle project at 10 Goodwin Terrace, has been snapped up by an interstate buyer. They visited the impressive display suite, and intend to use the apartment as a holiday home.

It&#39;s the speediness of the sale that has shocked property watchers and local developers with proper marketing only really taking place earlier this year. Even some of Sydney Harbour&#39;s biggest&nbsp;sales take years to find a buyer.

There hasn&#39;t been a development produced on the Gold Coast that has come close to finding a $20 million apartment buyer. It&#39;s a figure more associated the purchase of a prime development site, as opposed to one of the apartments in the development.

The penthouse,&nbsp;which spans 970 sqm of living space, an area more than five times the size of an average home, has two separate living spaces, four bedrooms across two levels, six bathrooms, a media room, infrared sauna, fire pit, outdoor bar, multiple outdoor dining and lounge areas, a gym, wine cellar and private five car garage.

The staggered rooftop has never-to-be-built-out views over Burleigh Heads Beach, and features its own private pool and spa deck. The rooftop was an important factor in the purchase, CBRE Residential Projects Senior Director Nicholas Clydsdale said. &quot;It&#39;s a perfect space to share with family and friends and create memories,&quot;&nbsp;Clydsdale said.

Clydsdale added that there were three big drivers for the purchase; the location, the finish, and of course the rooftop.

&quot;This location perfectly combines proximity and amenity with an unsurpassed connection to the natural surrounds, all while ensuring the privacy of a stand-alone home is retained in this impeccable residence,&quot;&nbsp;Clydsdale added.

Spyre Group&rsquo;s director Andrew Malouf said the record sale is a crowning achievement for the company after laying plans last year to create in Glasshouse the ultimate coastal address in one of Australia&rsquo;s most sought-after locations.

&ldquo;We received a great deal of genuine interest in this property and the market was very accepting of the value proposition it presented,&rdquo;&nbsp;Malouf said.

&ldquo;It&rsquo;s a true reflection of what happens when a perfectly elevated, unrepeatable location is met with the very best of design detail and finish. To have a market so enthused by this level of offering is a great outcome and a call to where the Group is headed.&rdquo;

Glasshouse is the most exclusive project yet to be delivered by the Brisbane-based Spyre Group, which has had a stellar run of across six projects on the Gold Coast since 2018.

The Burleigh Heads development comprises just three exclusive residences, each encased in floor-to ceiling glass to capture sweeping to capture the views across Burleigh Beach and north to Surfers Paradise.

The ground-floor apartment occupies the entire floor and features a lower-level terrace. Above will be the full-floor middle residence, with each of these lower residences delivering a commanding 300sqm of living space.

All three residences feature bespoke inclusions that have been likened to works of art, including custom handblown lights by SOKTAS and an impressive kitchen island bench and bathroom vanities which are crafted from Italian marble.

&ldquo;Each of these superb residences offer unrivalled style, scale and standard overlooking the Gold Coast&rsquo;s breathtaking coastal landscape,&rdquo;&nbsp;Malouf added.

&ldquo;The location is unique, iconic and without doubt the best place of anywhere in Australia to be delivering a project of this calibre to the market.&rdquo;

Clydsdale&nbsp;said that Glasshouse Burleigh offers a new level of luxury within Australia&rsquo;s most desirable beachfront enclave, where every element has been refined to the highest possible standard.

&ldquo;The calibre of this sale validates Burleigh Heads as a world-class destination worthy of a world-class penthouse,&rdquo;&nbsp;Clydsdale said.

Glasshouse is the latest in a series of successful projects undertaken by Spyre Group since it ventured out of its home market in Brisbane four years ago.

Among its milestone achievements was the sale of a full-floor penthouse at the $57 million Cala Dei Coolangatta last year to a local family for $7.1 million.

The company has evolved into one of the leaders in luxury apartments developments, with multiple award-winning projects across the Gold Coast and Brisbane.

It is close to completion on the $77 million Natura Residences on the Burleigh Heads Esplanade which sold out in one weekend in early 2020. The project was also marketed by Clydsdale.

Spyre Group is currently progressing toward a construction commencement for Glasshouse which is expected to be completed in late 2023.
