Queensland builder-developer MAYD has revealed the first look at its major North Kirra beachfront development, lodging amended plans that reduce the number of apartments and increase the proportion of larger residences.

The project is planned across a substantial 4,742 sqm amalgamated site spanning seven lots at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/2-6-pacific-parade-bilinga-qld-4225">2-6 Pacific Parade</a> and 27-33 Golden Four Drive in Bilin​ga, directly opposite Nor​th Kirra Beach.

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/mayd-group">MAYD</a> secured the site for $32.5 million in 2025, in what was one of the Gold Coast's largest property transactions of the year.

The development will be delivered across two stages, with the first stage carrying an estimated gross realisation value of around $360 million.

The latest amendments seek to reduce the overall apartment count and shift the project further toward the owner-occupier market, with larger residences designed for buyers wanting considerably more space than traditionally offered in a beachfront apartment.

The residential mix will include townhomes, oversized two-bedroom apartments, substantial three-bedroom residences and four-bedroom homes.

MAYD has appointed Cera Stribley to lead the architecture and interiors, with the Melbourne-based design practice drawing on the beachfront setting through a series of ocean-facing terraces and heavily landscaped balconies.

Strong horizontal forms and curved balconies will define the exterior, with subtropical landscaping integrated throughout the building to soften the built form and increase the connection between the residences and the beachfront.

The project will also include an extensive collection of resident wellness and lifestyle facilities, continuing the broader shift across the Gold Coast's luxury apartment market toward larger homes supported by resort-style amenity.

MAYD Founder Todd Mould said North Kirra was increasingly appealing to buyers attracted to the more established, lower-density character of the southern Gold Coast.

"North Kirra presents one of the most compelling luxury residential opportunities currently emerging in Australia, combining absolute beachfront with the character and authenticity that buyers are increasingly seeking, and the same sense of tight-knit community that defined Burleigh and Currumbin perhaps 10 or 15 years ago," Mould said.

"With Gold Coast Airport on its doorstep, it also offers a level of accessibility that broadens its appeal across almost every market demographic."

The project comes as the southern Gold Coast continues to attract an increasing share of high-end apartment development and buyer activity.

Kirra in particular has emerged as one of the region's more tightly held beachfront markets, with its relatively low-density character, established surf and hospitality scene and proximity to Gold Coast Airport differentiating it from the higher-density markets further north.

Mould said those characteristics had informed the approach MAYD and Cera Stribley had taken to the project.

"We've worked closely with Cera Stribley to create a vision that is deeply connected to its surroundings," he said.

"Inspired by the coastline itself, the architecture has been shaped around space, privacy and resort-style living, creating a collection of homes that reflects the next generation of luxury on the southern Gold Coast."

MOTIV Managing Director Carly Cottam, who has been appointed to market the project, said buyer attention had continued to move south along the Gold Coast.

"Purchasers who may once have defaulted to Broadbeach, Main Beach or Surfers Paradise are increasingly recognising the value of a genuine beachfront location that offers lower density, strong amenity and a more established sense of community," Cottam said.

"Kirra has a powerful combination of growing demand and genuine scarcity. Beachfront supply is inherently constrained, the area remains relatively low density, and buyers are increasingly placing a premium on locations that feel established, uncrowded and authentic rather than heavily developed."

Cottam said the proximity to Gold Coast Airport was also proving increasingly important for interstate and second-home buyers.

"Being minutes from Gold Coast Airport makes it particularly compelling for interstate buyers, frequent travellers and second-home purchasers who can access an authentic coastal lifestyle almost immediately after stepping off a flight."

The acquisition takes MAYD's active development portfolio to more than $500 million, with the North Kirra project representing one of its largest undertakings to date.

MAYD is targeting an early 2027 launch.

First look at MAYD's North Kirra mixed-use precinct

<main data-perf-region="main">
Castle Hill, the longtime hub of the Hills District, has been one of the major beneficiaries of Sydney's Metro expansion, with improved connectivity helping drive continued population growth, development and buyer demand across the Hills District.

But despite that growth, the suburb has seen relatively few major new apartment projects brought to market over the past 18 months.

Hills District developer Reve Group is looking to fill that gap with <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/nova-r-ve-castle-hill-2-garthowen-crescent-castle-hill-nsw-2154">Nova Rêve</a>, a major new mixed-use precinct on the corner of Garthowen Crescent and Old Castle Hill Road, a short walk from Castle Hill Metro Station and Castle Towers.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=152737 project_image_fid=377679]

The project will comprise three residential towers alongside a hotel, restaurants, cafes and a skybar, more than 1,600 sqm of ground-floor retail and almost an acre of landscaped gardens.

It represents the largest project undertaken by Reve Group, the development arm of the Kassis family, which has been building across the Hills District for more than 30 years through Kassis Homes.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=152737 project_image_fid=377675]

Nova Rêve also represents a significant step up from the family's first apartment development, Grand Rêve, which was delivered nearby on Garthowen Crescent.

Grand Rêve introduced larger, house-like apartment layouts and premium inclusions including Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances to the Castle Hill market.

Nova Rêve takes that approach to a precinct scale, combining the residential component with hospitality, retail and substantial public and resident landscaping.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=152737 project_image_fid=377685]

Reve Group Managing Director Sam Kassis said the project reflected the family's three decades of building in the Hills, which has evolved from trophy homes on quarter-acre blocks to larger-scale apartment development.

"Grand Rêve was our first apartment project here and it showed us what this pocket of Castle Hill could be. Nova Rêve is the refinement of that idea: not just apartments, but a place the whole suburb can use," Kassis said.

A key part of that approach is the hotel, which has been designed to operate as an amenity for the wider Castle Hill community rather than solely hotel guests.

It will include restaurants, cafes, skybars and all-day dining, alongside conference and event facilities catering to business functions, community groups and private events.

At ground level, more than 1,600 sqm of shops and cafes will open onto the surrounding streets and landscaped areas.

Almost an acre of gardens designed by Land and Form Studios will run through the precinct, incorporating pathways, seating, barbecue areas and children's play spaces.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=152737 project_image_fid=377680]

Reve Group's Romio Georges said creating an active ground plane had been central to the planning of Nova Rêve.

"There are gardens with pathways, barbecues, seating and play areas, shops and cafes opening onto the street, and a hotel with restaurants and a skybar that anyone in Castle Hill can walk into," Georges said.

The project's elevated position on one of Sydney's highest ridgelines will also provide apartments with outlooks toward the Sydney skyline, surrounding parkland and the Blue Mountains.

More than 80 per cent of the apartments will occupy corner positions, with Turner responsible for both the architecture and interiors.

Nova Rêve arrives as Reve Group bets on Castle Hill's next growth phase

A collection of just 25 large-format apartments and penthouses overlooking Goodwin Park is entering the Coolangatta market, with <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/marea-residences-coolangatta-27-27a-dixon-street-coolangatta-qld-4225">Maréa Residences</a> combining a low-density, residential-only approach with uninterrupted park and Pacific Ocean outlooks.

Located at 27 Dixon Street, Maréa comprises three and four-bedroom residences alongside a limited number of dual-level penthouses, with the project positioned between Goodwin Park and <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/coolangatta-qld-4225">Coolangatta</a>’s coastal precinct.

Construction has commenced, with completion currently estimated for late 2027. Three-bedroom residences are priced from $1.8 million.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=150999 project_image_fid=374005]

The project has been designed around its northern outlook across the park, with the building’s architecture, landscaping and material palette intended to establish a connection with the neighbouring green space. The residences have been configured to maximise natural light and views across Goodwin Park towards the ocean.

Inside, the material palette incorporates timber, stone and brushed brass, complemented by curved detailing and ambient lighting. Kitchens and bathrooms carry the same natural material approach, while residences also include basement parking, storage and lift access.

Maréa’s penthouses are arranged over two levels and include private pools, adding another layer to the project’s focus on larger-format apartment living. Across the development, residences are configured with three or four bedrooms rather than the broader mix of smaller apartment types commonly found in larger projects.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=150999 project_image_fid=374010]

Resident amenity is concentrated at rooftop level, where landscaped entertaining terraces and pools take advantage of elevated views across Coolangatta and the Pacific Ocean.

The project has so far been particularly well received by local owner-occupiers and downsizers, according to Urban Activation Property Sales and Marketing Director Matt George, with the residential-only format, construction quality and northern park outlook among the features resonating with purchasers.

“The uninterrupted northern aspect overlooking Goodwin Park has been a key point of difference, with buyers attracted to the sense of serenity and open space the park provides, while still enjoying easy access to the ocean and being within walking distance of the lifestyle and amenities Coolangatta has to offer,” George said.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=150999 project_image_fid=374002]

“The combination of high-quality construction, a residential-only building, park outlook and proximity to the beach has resonated strongly with the local downsizer market.”

The Dixon Street address is within walking distance of Coolangatta Beach and the broader southern Gold Coast coastline, including the surf breaks at Snapper Rocks and Kirra. Coolangatta’s cafés, restaurants and retail are nearby, while Gold Coast Airport is also within close proximity.

Maréa Residences brings parkside apartments to Coolangatta

Melbourne developer PDG has secured Victorian Government approval for its $1.5 billion Southbank development <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/the-one-1-queens-bridge-street-southbank-vic-3006">The One</a>, clearing the way for the long-dormant riverfront site opposite Crown to finally be developed.

The Minister for Planning has approved the project at 1-29 Queens Bridge Street, with the Department of Transport and Planning issuing the planning permit following its assessment.

The approval will allow PDG to develop the prominent 5,059 sqm site with a major mixed-use tower comprising premium apartments, including branded residences, a luxury hotel and boutique office space.

PDG acquired the site in late 2024, with its position directly opposite Crown's main entrance and near Melbourne's Arts Precinct making it one of Southbank's most significant remaining development opportunities.

<img alt="PDG" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="3933013e-6332-4386-b9be-089df05caf17" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-08-27%20at%209.29.22%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=sITIgBqDL0N3VNSMwWEmF5UA.uvcsRyu" />

Designed by COX in collaboration with ODO and PDG, the tower's architecture draws on the movement of the Yarra River, with six vertical pleats running the height of the sculpted facade.

The project will also see the heritage-listed Queens Bridge Hotel restored and incorporated into the development&nbsp;with new hospitality and public uses, including a rooftop venue.

A significant component of The One will be its residential amenity.

More than 5,000 sqm of resident facilities will be delivered across a single level, making it one of the largest consolidated residential amenity offerings proposed in an Australian apartment development.

The planning approval also incorporates a major upgrade of Queensbridge Square, which PDG will deliver in partnership with the City of Melbourne.

<img alt="PDG" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="73167fcd-1031-4b6f-a408-a064cfe45ed1" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-08-27%20at%209.29.17%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=Pf1AEWxw6SNmBqR0zQW5lyEze.MtxgFp" />

The existing square will be revitalised as a new civic and pedestrian space along the Yarra River, strengthening the connection between the project, Southbank and the riverfront.

PDG Founder and Managing Director Vince Giuliano said the approval represented a major milestone for a site which has remained largely underutilised for more than 15 years.

“This is the most significant Planning Permit approval Melbourne has seen in recent years,” Giuliano said.

“For more than 15 years, this site has remained underutilised. This approval enables us to deliver a project that will contribute meaningfully to the revitalisation of Southbank, restore and reactivate an important heritage building, and create a new civic and hospitality destination for Melbourne.”

The latest approval follows an earlier planning permit issued by the City of Melbourne covering demolition works across part of the site at 9-29 Queens Bridge Street. Those demolition and early works are already underway.

PDG has also started generating early interest in the residential component from owner-occupiers ahead of a planned public launch in early 2027.

PDG secures approval for $1.5bn Southbank apartment development, The One

Local developer Harridan is seeking to turn its Woolloongabba apartment project into the first stage of a broader transformation of Burke Street, using a new 16-storey mixed-use building to establish a greener pedestrian connection toward the rapidly evolving Boggo Road transport and knowledge precinct.

The South East Queensland developer has filed plans for 154 apartments on the <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/4-burke-street-woolloongabba-qld-4102">southern side of Burke Street</a>, where its proposal has been designed alongside a wider vision by LatStudios for the street.

That vision positions the southern side of Burke Street for buildings of 15 storeys and above, while envisaging lower-rise development of up to five storeys on the northern side to transition into Woolloongabba's existing character housing. It also proposes wider pedestrian verges, deep planting, new street trees and upgrades to the pedestrian approach to Boggo Road Station.

The Harridan development itself has been designed by Brisbane-based Arqus Design and will comprise 154 apartments across 16 storeys. The mix is weighted heavily toward two-bedroom apartments, with 121 proposed alongside 10 one-bedroom and 23 three-bedroom residences. There will typically be around 14 units per floor.

A lower-ground car park and three podium levels will accommodate 156 resident parking spaces, along with visitor and commercial parking. There will also be 154 resident bicycle spaces and 40 visitor bicycle parks.

&nbsp;

Harridan is a family-owned developer and part of the Holmwood Highgate Group, with more than three decades of development activity across South East Queensland. Its portfolio spans residential, commercial and industrial property, with current residential projects including Riverbank on Byron in Bulimba, Esperance Residences in Carina and The Precinct at Kinross Road in Thornlands.

Wooloongabba has been popular for apartment developers, particularly since the announcement of the 2032 Summer Olympics games in Brisbane.

While there have been a lot of development applications, it has failed to materialize into real supply.&nbsp;

Sarazin has been the major player in the area. They are under construction at Murcia Residences, on the fringe of East Brisbane and Woolloongabba. They have just launched <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/the-stanley-residences-woolloongabba-8-trafalgar-street-woolloongabba-qld-4102">The Stanley Residences</a>, in Woolloongabba on Trafalagar Street. They also have Nuage coming soon on the nearby <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/nuage-woolloongabba-14-wellington-road-woolloongabba-qld-4102">Wellington Road</a>.

It has taken a year, but the award-winning television dir­ector Peter Andrikidis, who ­directed the first season of Channel 9 crime-drama hit Underbelly, has secured the sale of Wellpark, his long-time Burwood home.
Shared with his wife Sue, the couple have been based at the home since 1993 when they sold in Balmain.
They paid $470,000 for Wellpark, a solid full-brick ­Edwardian near Burwood Park.

It had marketed the home as “built to a standard of excellence rarely seen today’’.
The stately residence is on the high side of one of Burwood’s most sought after streets.
Andrikidis has nine AFI Awards including best ­direction for Underbelly season 1.
One of his first works was The Flying Doctors, before he moved on to the ABC’s medical drama series G.P., which earned his first AFI Award.
There was also the police drama series Wildside, and more recently the ABC legal drama Janet King and the medical drama Pulse.

A residential complex in Burwood in Sydney’s inner west has come to market for the first time in 36 years and is expected to sell for more than $30 million. 
Savills Australia’s Stuart Cox, Neil Cooke and Johnathon Broome have been appointed to manage the expressions-of-interest campaign, saying they expected competitive enquiry from a broad buying pool of investors and developers.
“It’s very rare to be able to acquire an entire block of 26 units in one line so we’re anticipating strong competition,” Cox said.
The complex occupies 3,165 sqm across one title and generates a gross holding income of $725,608 per annum. It is zoned for B4 Mixed Use with an associated floor space ratio of 3:1.
“Currently underdeveloped for an impressive site area of this size, this site presents substantial development upside and holding income,” Cooke said.
“It has a building height limit of 30 metres and potential to construct up to 9,495sqm of gross floor area, subject to council approval.
<img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/c_scale,w_580,q_auto:good/https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/po.images/2018/10/9/burwood2.jpg" alt="">
“Via a redevelopment, the site lends itself to a premium residential flat building (STCA), with excellent views and solar access provided to the majority of apartments.”
Mr Cox said the site’s “prestigious” location in one of Sydney’s most tightly held inner-west suburbs was another key selling point.
“Burwood is a panoramic district, with Sydney CBD and Blue Mountains views on offer via a redevelopment of the site,” he said.
“The property is well serviced by surrounding arterial roads and public transport, with outstanding access to local amenity and close proximity to Westfield Burwood, Burwood Railway Station and MLC School.” 
Cox went on to say that the complex was well positioned within Sydney’s western growth corridor, where transport, housing and economic infrastructure was set to explode to cater to the rapidly increasing population. 
“An extra 420,000 people are expected to move into the corridor between Greater Parramatta and central Sydney in the next 20 years,” he said.
“More than 300,000 new jobs will be created by 2036 across this same corridor; it’s only natural that residential projects will continue to profit throughout this timeframe in response to the influx of residents.”
 Expressions of interest close October 31.

Burwood development site set to go under the hammer

<html><body>
A proposed development in the Sydney suburb of Burwood to join two adjoining blocks and create around 1,000 new apartments has ben given an endorsement from state planning authorities.
Holdmark Property Group's planning proposal to develop four residential towers, ranging from 20 to 42 levels and an A-grade commercial office building on Wynne Avenue, fronting Railway Parade in Burwood has received a Gateway Determination by the Department of Planning and Environment.
Gavin Carrier, head of development for Holdmark Property Group, said the approvals were a terrific outcome for the growth and advancement of Burwood.
“Our consultant team has worked closely with Council to continually refine and improve our concept to create a really compelling solution for the centre of Burwood and we’d like to thank Council for their professionalism throughout this entire process," he said.
"We believe this project will be the making of Burwood for generations to come and, as the community’s representatives, Council has a very important role to play in shaping that opportunity.
<img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/c_scale,w_580,q_auto:good/https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/po.images/2017/03/17/cox_bur_view%2001_FINAL_bright.jpg" alt="">
“The involvement of not one, but two outstanding, multi-award-winning architectural firms has resulted in a magnificent and dynamic design that is not just visually stunning, but we believe really captures the aspirational spirit of the people of Burwood.
“It will be an iconic new landmark to signify the growing importance of Burwood as one of Sydney’s key strategic socio-economic hubs. 
We are now looking forward to continuing to work closely with Council, the community and our existing tenants to put all the necessary approvals in place for the delivery of this fantastic development.
"The project will now move through further consultations and approvals.
“Whilst the realisation of this vision is still subject to several more stages in the consultation and approval process, the positive Gateway Determination is a very important initial milestone to achieve."

<html><body>
Residential land values in NSW increased by 11.1 percent to a total of $1.2 trillion in the 12 months to 1 July 2016.
It continued the trend seen in the preceding two years.
The land values were based on the analysis of over 38,000 residential property sales across NSW.
The Sydney metropolitan area experienced the strongest increases. 
Burwood's 37.5 percent rise, parts of Canterbury-Bankstown (previously Canterbury) (25 percent) and parts of Inner West (previously Ashfield) (24.6 percent) recorded the strongest increases in residential land values driven by demand for property with redevelopment potential, close to transport and the Sydney Central Business District (Sydney CBD).
The increases within Burwood were especially around the town centre and along Parramatta Road, where the government has released an urban transformation strategy foreshadowing higher density apartment construction with some parts of Burwood, such as <a href="https://www.valuergeneral.nsw.gov.au/land_value_summaries/lga.php?lga=137" target="_blank">Milton Street</a> parallel to Parramatta Road, seeing land values soar 100% within the year. The highest increases were generally sites allowing residential unit development close to infrastructure, shops and services, also in Homebush, Flemington and South Strathfield where land values increased by around 76 percent.
Land values in the south western growth areas of Campbelltown, Camden, Liverpool and Wollondilly local government areas (LGAs) increased by around 25 percent, and the north western areas of Hawkesbury and The Hills by around 18 percent.
<a href="https://www.valuergeneral.nsw.gov.au/land_values/interactive_portal" target="_blank">The NSW Valuer General </a>noted not all areas increased at the same rate. Residential land values north and south of the Sydney CBD generally showed increases of 10 percent to 15 percent, while values in Sydney’s eastern suburbs (Randwick, Waverley and Woollahra LGAs) all increased by less than 5 percent.
Coastal areas of NSW also recorded moderate increases with residential land values in most areas increasing between 5 percent and 13 percent.
It included the major population centres of Wollongong (7.8 percent) and Newcastle (13.2 percent) LGAs.
There were mixed results in regional NSW with residential land values in most LGAs remaining stable or recording slight increases of up to 5 percent.
Broken Hill and the mining areas of the Hunter (Muswellbrook, Singleton and Upper Hunter LGAs) recorded falls in land values ranging from about 8 percent to 15 percent.
There are now 16 LGAs where the median residential land value is over $1 million dollars - all in the eastern or central parts of the metropolitan area.
The highest median land value is in the LGA of Mosman at $1,840,000, up 12.2% in the year to 1 July 2016, followed by Woollahra at $1,815,000, up 5.5 percent.
The lowest median residential land value is in the Central Darling LGA, $2,400, which increased by 62.1 percent from a low base which results in a large percentage movement.
Land value is the market value of the land only, as if it had sold on 1 July in the valuing year. It does not include the value of buildings or other structures.
In September each year the Valuer General determines new land tax and premium rate thresholds for the coming year.
The requirements for the determination of new thresholds are set out in Division 4A of the Land Tax Management Act, 1956.
The adjustments to the thresholds are based on the annual movement in the average land values of land within residential, commercial, business and industrial zones in NSW.
The rate of change of land values in these zones from 1 July 2015 to 1 July 2016 was determined to be 11.087 percent.
The land tax threshold for the 2017 land tax year was determined to be $549,000 and the premium rate threshold was determined to be $3,570,000.
