The most elevated residential tower in Palm Beach, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/corallo-palm-beach-5-palm-beach-avenue-palm-beach-qld-4221">Corallo</a>, has officially launched this week, however only a handful of buyers will have an opportunity to buy in to the 17-storey project.

The $200 million mixed-use project includes ground floor dining and retail and is considered so valuable its developer, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/changfa-group">Changfa Group</a>, will be staging its release of one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments and penthouses to the market.

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/project-marketer/colliers">Colliers</a> International, Director, David Higgins, said the development’s location just metres from the beach on the corner of Palm Beach Avenue and the Gold Coast Highway influenced the sculptural design by the acclaimed Plus Architecture studio.

“<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/palm-beach-qld-4221">Palm Beach</a> locals understand the rare opportunity here at Corallo, particularly being the tallest building in the suburb and its proximity to the beach and local restaurants, and they’ve represented the bulk of pre-launch enquiries,” Higgins said.

“The orientation of the apartments captures views of the coastline from Surfers Paradise to Currumbin, and the diversity of floor plans and apartment types provide an exceptional level of choice.

“The first release includes just 59 one-, two and three-bedroom apartments and two half-floor penthouses, with flexible use designed to appeal to both owner-occupiers and investors."

&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112194 project_image_fid=799]

In addition to the ground floor amenity, residents will also have access to a private dedicated wellness level offering 734 sqm of resort-style amenities including a pool, cold plunge, wet deck, steam room, sauna, gym, day bed, fire pit, barbecue area, dining area and yoga/stretch deck.

The project is located within walking distance of Tallebudgera Creek, Burleigh Heads village, Currumbin Alley and Palm Beach Currumbin High School. The Gold Coast Airport is under 10 minutes away.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112194 project_image_fid=814]

Higgins said Palm Beach remained a hotly contested suburb for home buyers, with prices doubling in the past five years.

“What makes Corallo so appealing to the local market is the diversity of apartment types and pricing, with one-bedroom apartments starting from $841,000 and two-bedroom apartments starting from $1.34 million,” he said.

“The ground floor retail and dining offering will further expand on Palm Beach’s village atmosphere and create a meeting place for locals, and those opportunities for connection are highly valued.”

&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112194 project_image_fid=807]

The on-site sales display, which includes a fully fitted kitchen, bathroom and bedroom, will be open until early works commence in Q1 2026. Each residence at Corallo will feature premium finishes including natural stone, artisanal brickwork, and warm copper accents.

Changfa Group has a two-decade history of delivering premium developments in Australia and internationally, having recently completed its collection of premium townhomes at Lyra, Hope Island, as well as apartment projects in Leichhardt, Carlingford, and Chatswood in New South Wales.

$200 million Corallo Palm Beach launches with limited apartment release

In a move that aligns with NSW's accelerated planning incentives for affordable housing, developer&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/the-one-collection">One Collection</a> has revised its Hills District apartment plans, and taken it to the NSW Government, to secure approval.

The developer, which is currently delivering Horizon Hurstville, is seeking to add 80 more apartments to its <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/the-one-castle-hill-16-dawes-avenue-nsw-2154">Castle Hill development</a> near Castle Towers. They already have approval for 280 apartments across eight six-storey buildings.

<img alt="One Collection" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="b3c298ba-1cc5-4db7-9872-607c75f8ceca" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202025-10-13%20at%2010.19.22%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=wN9KpFIu5ENSGZLLsaZgXQHrXcwEO3Vd" />

Now on the desks of the NSW Department of Planning is 360 apartments, 48 of which will be dedicated to affordable housing.&nbsp;Affordable housing is to be “fully integrated within the building and visually indistinguishable,” according to the planning submission.

The 15,697 sqm block, an amalgamation of 16 sites, spans across Dawes Avenue, Hughes Avenue, and Camdan Crescent, sits 550m from Hills Showground Metro Station.&nbsp;

"The existing context is quickly changing from free-standing homes into residential flat buildings in line with the Hills Showground Precinct planning framework," Place Studio noted.

<img alt="Castle Hill" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="3ec24948-c185-48fa-af8b-ed25adf302bf" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202025-10-13%20at%2010.19.04%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=zNDX.IeRROX1RlDeYcS38xn8w_dqgU2t" />

They said the design was informed by the site's unique condition of having three street frontages and was developed to to respond sensitively to iots surrounding context.

"The design adopted a conventional perpendicular alignment to the primary street frontage. The massing of the development was carefully modulated to align with the evolving character of the neighbourhood. The design ensured that the scale was not excessive or out of context, but instead contributed to a cohesive urban form consistent with emerging developments in the area."

<img alt="Castle Hill" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="f83ffdaa-f960-469d-b6fe-abcece57c9ef" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202025-10-13%20at%2010.19.09%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=4oKlCyfaKes7jLi1_EMoqa46w2h_YvDZ" />

The apartment mix will be 46 one-beds, 168 two-bed apartments, and 146 three-bedroom units, with 631 parking spaces proposed.

Along the street frontages, the building heights are four storeys with a 7.5 metre setback, and eight storeys with an 11.5 metre setback. It should cost about $150 million to build.

One Collection works hand-in-hand with the respected development and construction firm Masscon, which has built a reputation for leveraging its expertise in the built environment to take on developments others can't. That's what they're achieving at Horizon Hurstville, having taken over the project to deliver it.

At Yarra’s Edge, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/mirvac">Mirvac</a>’s newest tower under construction, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/trielle-at-yarra-s-edge-docklands-16-point-park-crescent-docklands-vic-3008">Trielle</a>, sets a new benchmark for elevated living. Rising 45 storeys, 12.5 metres from the Yarra River, the landmark building offers residents access to a private wellness retreat and spa, a resident-only golf simulator, and an elegant lounge, dining and bar complete with a self-playing piano, all without ever having to leave home.

Now, that sense of elevation has reached new heights with the Aerus Sub-Penthouses, a limited release of half-floor riverfront residences on the Collins St axis where the sought-after street meets the Yarra River.

Each Aerus Sub-Penthouse, located across levels 42 and 43, represents the most expansive offering within Trielle, aside from the yet-to-be-revealed crowning penthouses. Spanning between 269 and 301 sqm, these residences are designed to capture natural light and uninterrupted views of the city skyline, Yarra River, and Port Phillip Bay.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=114216 project_image_fid=3784]

Among the collection are three-bedroom sub penthouses, complemented by a media room, and expansive four-bedroom layouts. All include panoramic living areas and oversized master suites with luxury ensuites reminiscent of a five-star hotel, complemented by dedicated dressing rooms finished in timber and natural stone.

The interiors have been crafted by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/mirvac-design">Mirvac Design</a>, the developer’s award-winning in-house architecture and design team. Every material has been chosen for quality and longevity, from sculpted stone island benches with feature soft wash LED lighting to bespoke joinery and chevron timber oak flooring.

Kitchens are fitted with a BORA induction cooktop with integrated downdraft extractor, alongside Gaggenau appliances, including a fridge, freezer, and wine fridge. The adjoining butler’s pantry incorporates the exclusive Gaggenau Minimalistic Series including oven, steam oven, microwave, coffee machine and warming drawer, all concealed behind handleless glass panels for a clean, integrated presentation. Bathrooms feature custom Apaisar freestanding baths and basins and natural stone benchtops, continuing Mirvac’s design emphasis on tactile, timeless materials.&nbsp;

<img alt="Trielle at Yarra's Edge, Docklands" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="c00be724-b0f1-47c0-afed-54f829870704" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Aerus%20sub-penthouse.png?VersionId=Uktd61kpLSqNjwJeDFs7IaZ3xgLlDQmu" />

Michael Wiener, Design Director at Mirvac, says The Aerus Sub-Penthouse embodies the apex of Mirvac’s design ethos.

“Moving through your home is like walking on air - a private sanctuary where the craftsmanship is refined, the proportions generous, and the flow so effortless, you feel completely at ease in the sky,” Wiener says.

“In Aerus, we wanted to create a sense of weightlessness - a home that feels suspended in the skyline, full of light, grounded in luxury.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=114216 project_image_fid=3777]

The Aerus Sub-Penthouses are expected to attract a mix of local and international buyers seeking a long-term residence of scale and quality in a riverfront setting, from returning expats to established families and business owners who value privacy, craftsmanship, and convenience within walking distance of the CBD.

With an unmatched suite of amenities, Trielle is the most extensively appointed development Mirvac has created to date at Yarra’s Edge. Within the tower will be The Oasis, a 900 sqm podium rooftop wellness retreat designed in collaboration with spa expert Naomi Gregory. Located seven storeys above the Yarra River promenade, it features a 25-metre lap pool, spa and sauna, hot magnesium spa, biophilic gym, yoga and Pilates studio, cold-pail contrast treatment, and day spa treatment rooms. Further amenities include a piano lounge, bookable dining room, cinema room, golf simulator studio, games room, teppanyaki bar, dog wash bay, and two flexible work hubs, The Biblioteca library and Mills Place office space, catering to residents’ evolving lifestyle needs.

Construction of the $350 million tower is underway through Mirvac’s in-house construction arm, with completion anticipated for mid-2027.

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/jwland-development">JWLand</a>’s De Burgh, the final residential release within the Northbourne Village precinct in Lyneham, is nearing completion just as the Federal Government’s Home Guarantee Scheme prepares for its most significant expansion to date.&nbsp;

From October 2025, the scheme will allow first home buyers to enter the market with just a five per cent deposit and no lenders mortgage insurance (LMI), removing some of the most common barriers to ownership.

With <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/de-burgh-at-northbourne-village-40-de-burgh-street-lyneham-act-2602">De Burgh</a> on track for residents to move in by late spring 2025, the timing creates a strong opportunity for first home buyers seeking brand-new apartments in Canberra’s sought-after Inner North.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=139989 project_image_fid=212888]

The project delivers 350 residences across two buildings, with layouts ranging from compact studios through to one, two, and three-bedroom apartments.

JWLand has tailored the development for long-term liveability, integrating natural light, privacy and outdoor space into each home. Ground-floor residences feature private courtyards, while upper levels benefit from generous balconies.

Kitchens are fitted with Fisher &amp; Paykel appliances, and all apartments include ducted reverse-cycle air conditioning with smartphone app control for lighting and climate.&nbsp;

Shared resident facilities include a rooftop garden, gym, lounge and parcel lockers, alongside landscaped green space within the precinct.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=139989 project_image_fid=267376]

For buyers, the expanded Home Guarantee Scheme removes income caps and introduces unlimited places, making it more accessible than ever. With most De Burgh apartments priced under $1 million, they fall well within the updated eligibility thresholds.

The policy changes provide first home buyers with greater certainty and a smoother path to finance. Combined with the quality and location of De Burgh, the expanded scheme is expected to draw a new wave of buyers to Canberra’s Inner North.

Residents will benefit from the project’s central setting, just 600 metres from the light rail and three kilometres from Canberra’s CBD. The precinct is bordered by the <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/lyneham-act-2602">Lyneham</a> wetlands and sits within easy reach of cafes, restaurants, schools and the ANU.

With completion scheduled for late 2025, De Burgh is set to be among the first major apartment projects to meet the expanded scheme head-on, offering first-time buyers a realistic pathway to ownership in one of Canberra’s most connected neighbourhoods.

JWLand’s De Burgh aligns with expanded Homebuyer Scheme, opening doors for first home buyers in Canberra’s Inner North

A subtropical pair of residential towers are in planning for a key South Brisbane site neighbouring the iconic Expo ’88 Skyneedle, with new documents revealing a vertically layered vision designed to respond to the precinct’s evolving high-density character.

The proposal has been lodged by&nbsp;Darveniza Group, which is also is behind the 400-apartment Station Quarter precinct in Alderley.

Darveniza Group, led by Jane Darveniza, the Brisbane-based investor and Queensland rich-lister and widow of the late property magnate Bojan Darveniza, is seeking approval for a mixed-use project encompassing 204 apartments, ground-level retail, food and drink tenancies, and office space across two architecturally integrated towers at 37–39 Manning Street.

Occupying an 1,822 sqm site, the proposed towers would rise above a sculptural podium base, with a recessed landscaped centre, rooftop communal areas, and a total of 220 car parks and 256 bicycle bays. The apartment mix spans one- to five-bedroom dwellings, with a design emphasis on generous balconies, cross-ventilation, and climate-responsive materials.

<img alt="First look: Twin towers proposed for Manning Street site beside Skyneedle" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="42c1f501-2afd-440b-af49-67c257123ea7" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Manning%20podium.png?VersionId=KFlksfWzmDRD.VIYxd_1q3VAel.nN3TH" />

“The development is conceived as two slender twin buildings that meet at a lushly landscaped central recess,” the Finegrain design report states. “The façade is highly articulated with the plan form stepping back and forth to reduce visual bulk and maximise internal occupants’ access to natural light and air”.

A hallmark of the proposal is its integration of greenery, both visually and functionally. Around 77 per cent of the site’s green plot ratio is delivered through vertical planting spines, a green podium wall, and rooftop amenity. Ground-level deep planting and landscaped communal zones aim to create a shaded, walkable interface along Manning Street.

“The stepped plan form introduces variation in balcony setbacks and enclosed apartment areas, enriching both the façade expression and the resident experience,” the design team notes. “At ground and podium levels, this stepping also enhances permeability, maximising pedestrian view lines to the neighbouring Skyneedle and reinforcing a strong sense of local identity”.

<img alt="First look: Twin towers proposed for Manning Street site beside Skyneedle" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="b3f26dfc-6b93-465c-9ffb-0a2530372a23" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Manning%20site.png?VersionId=JflvKdqDxcaHTFbb9HL5TwoiRgeQ2LqA" />

The site directly adjoins the heritage-listed Skyneedle at 35 Manning Street, an enduring legacy of World Expo ’88. The accompanying heritage impact report by Pendergast Architects contends that the proposal has been carefully conceived to protect the cultural significance and landmark visibility of the structure.

“The design provides setbacks, tower separation and podium articulation to maintain the visibility and landmark role of the adjoining Skyneedle,” the report states. “The significance of the Skyneedle lies principally in its landmark visibility and cultural symbolism, rather than in detailed fabric or architectural setting”.

The proposal sits within the Kurilpa Sustainable Growth Precinct, under Brisbane’s TLPI 02/2023, where revised planning controls support high-density, mixed-use development integrated with subtropical design and increased public realm contributions.

Finegrain’s design reflects this intent, drawing cues from the site's adjacency to Musgrave Park, the subtropical landscape of South Brisbane, and cultural landmarks such as QPAC and South Bank.

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.

&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.

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.

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.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=104773 project_image_fid=189485]

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.
