<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/sunland-group">Sunland Group</a> has officially lodged plans for its first Gold Coast apartment project since the departure of the Abedian family from the company three years ago, unveiling a new high-rise proposal for a prominent Broadbeach corner site on Old Burleigh Road.

The application was submitted by an entity directed by Tom Jamieson, stepson of longtime Sunland leader Soheil Abedian, and Riaz Rezvanipour, brother-in-law of Sahba Abedian, Soheil’s son.

Sunland acquired the 1,283 sqm site on the corner of Old Burleigh Road and Armrick Avenue for $9.5 million late last year and is now seeking approval for a <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/99-101-old-burleigh-road-broadbeach-qld-4218">42-storey tower with 81 apartments</a>.

<img alt="First look: Sunland Group returns to Broadbeach with new Old Burleigh Road tower plans" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="fea2946d-90ee-4cfc-babe-2a8ad5db2cb6" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/pers.png?VersionId=BV0fihJw31nDIQ8ozY_h3GbS8mxDyhnm" />

Designed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/contreras-earl-architecture">Contreras Earl Architecture</a>, the proposed tower at 99-101 Old Burleigh Road would deliver a predominantly larger-format apartment mix aimed at the owner-occupier market. Plans include 17 two-bedroom apartments, 55 three-bedroom apartments, and nine four-bedroom residences across 35 residential levels.

The development also incorporates three basement levels, four podium parking levels, two levels of communal recreation facilities, and rooftop plant and equipment. A total of 189 car spaces are proposed, significantly exceeding the 90 spaces required under the planning scheme.

The architecture adopts a sculpted, curvilinear form, with deep wraparound balconies and integrated landscaping intended to soften the tower’s vertical expression. The planning report states the building’s “slender footprint/form provides a complimentary yet varied built form within the local streetscape” and contributes to “a varied, yet ordered skyline.”

Contreras Earl noted in its Architectural Statement that from the early stages, the project addressed a fundamental challenge: how to accommodate the required residential yield while avoiding the conventional model of a tower sitting on a rigid, fully resolved parking podium.

“The most direct response would have been to consolidate parking into a singular, flat podium and extrude a repetitive tower above,” the statement said. “While efficient, this approach would result in a consolidated built form with limited engagement with the surrounding landscape and public realm.”

Instead, the conventional podium model was “deliberately rejected”. The architects described the base of the building as “a landscaped architectural condition where structure, planting and circulation are integrated”.

“Rather than presenting a continuous built mass, the base of the building is articulated through a series of concrete planter elements that organise the podium into a fragmented system,” the statement said. “This approach reduces the perceived bulk of the lower levels while establishing a more permeable interface with the streetscape and adjacent open space.”

<img alt="Sunland" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="923fad8d-c960-4527-8fbe-975cf1ddf88d" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-05-25%20at%2010.32.03%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=pngwb0hYOIUpq9vDw6F2EsOiVuHF3DiX" />

&nbsp;

The site sits within the High Density Residential Zone and inside the City of Gold Coast’s unrestricted “HX” building height area, where the planning framework anticipates intensified residential development tied to the expanding light rail corridor. The planning report notes the area is undergoing “transition toward more intense development forms” given its proximity to Broadbeach, Surfers Paradise, and high-frequency public transport infrastructure.

Positioned directly opposite Broadbeach Park and within walking distance of Florida Gardens light rail station, the development would sit among a rapidly evolving stretch of Old Burleigh Road that has become one of the Gold Coast’s most active apartment development corridors.

The application joins a growing pipeline of luxury residential projects reshaping Broadbeach, including nearby developments by 5Point Projects, Polycell, and Graya.

The planning report argues the project contributes toward the Gold Coast’s long-term housing targets under the South East Queensland Regional Plan, which forecasts the need for more than 100,000 additional high-rise dwellings across the city by 2046.

The Minns Labor Government has established the new Bays West Delivery Authority to lead the development&nbsp;of the Bays West Precinct and Blackwattle Bay Precinct.&nbsp;

The Authority is charged with creating Sydney’s newest precinct, a thriving, connected, sustainable hub with White Bay Power Station as its cultural heart. Its vision is to build on the area’s natural, cultural and industrial history to shape a vibrant new neighbourhood.

The precinct will deliver up to 8,500 well-located homes, including a minimum of 10 per cent affordable and essential worker homes. Combine new housing with public open space, opening public access to the waterfront for the first time in more than 100 years, while retaining important deep-water facilities to support Sydney’s working harbour.

Located just minutes from the Sydney CBD and connected to a world-class metro, ferry, walking and cycling links, the Bays West precinct will rebalance housing growth towards well-serviced inner-city locations and help tackle the state’s housing crisis.

The Bays West Delivery Authority,&nbsp;an agency of the Department of Planning, Housing and Infrastructure, will report to the NSW Minister for Lands and Property who already has oversight of major precinct renewal projects including at Blackwattle Bay and Barangaroo.

As part of the broader Bays West transformation, the Minns Government recently announced that a proposal from Lendlease to redevelop part of the Bays West Precinct has progressed to Stage 2 of the NSW Government’s unsolicited proposals process.

<img alt="Sydney" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="2ed71eb9-d8e8-4fa7-b9d1-de4531dcf2f3" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-05-25%20at%209.42.31%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=IDryFIbped9SNDg72LEN_EecvhUsOPvp" />

The Minns Labor Government has also confirmed the Bays West precinct will have a new suburb name. This will be the first major suburb built in close proximity to Sydney’s CBD in decades and will encompass the area currently being referred to as Bays West, including Glebe Island and the White Bay Power Station. Served by a new Metro station just five minutes from the CBD, it will become one of the most populous suburbs in the Inner West and one of Sydney’s premier cultural destinations.

An early works program is taking shape, which&nbsp;includes the first stages of an international design competition.&nbsp;

The aim of the Bays West&nbsp;International&nbsp;Design Competition is to&nbsp;ensure design excellence is embedded in the project from the start. The competition will deliver an&nbsp;urban framework that defines the character, ambition and long-term identity of&nbsp;this&nbsp;former industrial precinct as it transitions to a vibrant, inclusive and sustainable residential&nbsp;neighbourhood.

The competition will be led by the Bays West Delivery Authority in partnership with Government Architect NSW.&nbsp;

It will launch with an invitation for a global Expressions of Interest, before moving to an invitation-only stage that will be assessed by a panel that&nbsp;will provide advice to Cabinet who will select a winner.

Premier of NSW, Chris Minns said the establishment of the new Authority is the first step in transforming the Bays West precinct into a vibrant, livable suburb minutes from the Sydney CBD and two stops from Hunter St Station on the Metro West line.

“The Authority will deliver well-located homes close to the heart of the city and integrate the new precinct with Blackwattle Bay and the new Sydney Fish Market.

“This is a generational opportunity to build a new suburb on the city’s edge and open the harbour foreshore to the public for the first time in a century.”&nbsp;

Minister for Lands and Property Steve Kamper said the new Bays West Delivery Authority established by the Minns Government will turbocharge the development of Sydney’s newest suburb.

“The Authority is working at a record pace to deliver an international design competition, planning pathways and a financial model so that this development benefits Sydney with well-designed homes in a central location, close to public transport, jobs, entertainment and essential services.

“If we want Sydney to stay liveable and affordable, we need to be bold about using underutilised government-owned land to deliver homes for the future while making sure essential working harbour functions can be accommodated.”

Bays West Delivery Authority established to "turbocharge" Sydney’s newest suburb

Around 400 additional homes could be built at Southwark Grounds on Port Road, lifting total site capacity from 1300 to around 1700 dwellings.

A recently approved code amendment would allow apartment towers of up to 14 storeys in some areas of Renewal SA’s redevelopment of the former West End Brewery.

Renewal SA Acting Chief Executive Shane Wingard said he welcomed the code amendment, with the increase in heights and homes making a positive impact on the supply of high-quality, well-connected housing close to the city.

“By going higher across some parts of Southwark Grounds, we are adding a substantial number of very well-located homes with little impact on project delivery time or planned open space,” Mr Wingard said.

Since the project officially launched in 2025, Mr Wingard said more than 12,000 enquiries had been received about living at Southwark Grounds.

“The very strong early interest we’ve seen since homes were first released in the precinct reinforces our plans to create more housing opportunities,” he said.

The Southwark Grounds code amendment was launched in December last year, with community engagement undertaken over five weeks from January.

It proposed increasing maximum building heights from eight to 14 storeys on the eastern section of Southwark Grounds, and to 12 storeys across the remainder of the site, with minimum building heights ranging from two to four storeys.

The code amendment was implemented through an Early Commencement policy in late January, allowing developers to quickly explore the viability of increased height and housing yield while other planning processes continue.

One of the first developers delivering apartment sites have already finalised redesigns to increase the number of apartments following the code amendment.

Samaras’ development adjacent to the future Colonel Light Park is now planning to deliver 125 apartments across 11 storeys, significantly greater than original plans of around 50 apartments across four storeys.

The developer is also exploring the potential for additional affordable housing outcomes.

Most of the apartments at Southwark Grounds will be delivered within a master-planned precinct on a large parcel of land on the eastern portion of the site, covering around two-thirds of its 8.4 hectares.

Wingard said detailed precinct planning over the coming months may identify further opportunities to increase yield further that could see total apartment numbers at Southwark Grounds, exceed this number.

Affordable homes at Southwark Grounds will also see a net increase, with Renewal SA maintaining its commitment to a minimum of 20 per cent affordable housing across the development.

&nbsp;

&nbsp;

Civil works have begun across the site, with construction under way on the first new roads surrounding a townhouse precinct in the south‑west corner of Southwark Grounds. This includes Renewal SA’s 17 Founder’s Row homes, which are on track for completion by Christmas.

“We expect to have people living at Southwark Grounds by the end of the year, so delivering roads and public spaces for those residents is among our highest priorities.”

Construction of 40 townhouses off Anderson Street, known as West Village and being delivered by Contour, is forecast to begin in mid‑2026. Kolabb’s Anderson Lane development will follow shortly after, delivering a further 26 townhouses.

Southwark Grounds is a state government‑led urban renewal project now set to deliver around 1,700 homes over the next decade.

Homes will be supported by a supermarket, a range of retail and hospitality offerings anchored by a revitalised Walkerville Brew Tower, a childcare centre, car parking and well‑connected public spaces.

400 new homes planned for Adelaide's former West End Brewery site

Brisbane developer&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/cavcorp">Cavcorp</a> has lodged plans for a new mixed-use residential development at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/55-wyandra-street-teneriffe-qld-4005">55 Wyandra Street</a>, Teneriffe, anchored by an 85-metre public laneway designed to reconnect the suburb’s riverfront with the Gasworks precinct.

The buildings, known as Teneriffe House and Teneriffe Lane, would replace the existing Queensland Cotton head office site with a 15-storey residential tower transitioning to eight storeys toward Helen Street. The project has been designed by Plazibat Architects and lodged as a code assessable development application for 93 apartments across a 3,401 sqm mixed-use site within the Newstead and Teneriffe Waterfront neighbourhood plan.

Central to the scheme is the transformation of an existing service easement into a publicly accessible cross-block connection linking Wyandra and Helen Streets. Cavcorp says the new laneway will act as both a pedestrian shortcut and a landscaped civic space between the Teneriffe Riverwalk, ferry terminal, and Gasworks precinct.

<img alt="First Look: Cavcorp unveils Teneriffe House and Teneriffe Lane plans for landmark wellness tower in Teneriffe" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="26e7f058-b065-4de8-b13d-a2b8cb64dfcc" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/bldg.png?VersionId=sELS0ZKYi361oYipUa1BIKfe_.DLZoFV" />

“The revised proposal delivers a legacy public-realm cross-block link, permanently secured for community use, transforming an existing private easement into a safe, high-quality pedestrian connection between the Teneriffe heritage riverwalk and the Gasworks–Long Island precinct,” the planning report states.

The laneway will sit beneath a large subtropical loggia integrated into the podium levels of the development. The design incorporates deep landscaping, water gardens, lobby spaces, business lounges, and ground-floor apartments to create what Cavcorp describes as a climate-responsive “urban verandah.”

The tower itself has been designed as a slender form with recessed floorplates and curved translucent corners inspired by contemporary Japanese architecture. The building height aligns with the Commercial Road precinct controls, which permit towers up to 15 storeys within proximity to Longland Street.

The project will comprise a mix of larger-format apartments aimed at owner-occupiers, downsizers, and families. The proposed apartment mix includes 11 loggia apartments across the lower levels, 50 four-bedroom Sky-Terrace apartments from levels three to seven, and 32 Sky-Pool Homes occupying the upper tower levels. The Sky-Pool Homes will feature private thermal plunge pools integrated into oversized balconies.

According to the application, the apartments are intended to reinterpret the scale and character of Teneriffe’s woolstore conversions and Queensland homes within a vertical residential format.

“The sky-pool homes build on Cavcorp’s previous projects and introduce a distinct apartment typology to Teneriffe, informed by both local and international precedent and responding to an identified market demand for enhanced safety, space and amenity,” the planning submission notes.

A major focus of the proposal is its five-level wellness and lifestyle offering, extending from the basement through to the rooftop.

Amenities proposed include a rooftop Swim &amp; Racquet Club with a 25-metre Olympic lap pool and tennis court, coworking spaces and libraries, golf simulators, wine storage, concierge facilities, business lounges, pet wash areas, and rooftop longevity-focused wellness spaces with spas, outdoor fitness zones, and landscaped terraces.

All parking will be concealed within basement levels accessed from Wyandra and Helen Streets. Cavcorp says the deep-basement engineering approach allows the entire ground plane to prioritise landscaping, pedestrian movement, and active frontage rather than vehicle infrastructure.

The development continues Cavcorp’s concentration in Newstead and Teneriffe, where the Brisbane developer has delivered a number of apartment projects including Lucent, Le Bain, and Luminare, as well as the Long Island Wellness Precinct nearby. Several of those projects have received national design and architecture awards, including recognition under Brisbane’s “Buildings that Breathe” program.

Focus Group Investments has lodged plans for a new apartment development at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/64-70-hanover-street-fitzroy-vic-3065">64–70 Hanover Street</a> in Fitzroy, seeking to utilise the Victorian Government’s recently introduced Great Design Fast Track pathway to accelerate approvals for the project.

The proposal is among the latest developments to emerge through the state-led initiative, which was established to fast-track well-designed residential projects in activity centres and transport-connected inner-city locations. The pathway allows qualifying developments that meet elevated design and housing benchmarks to bypass traditional council planning timeframes and instead be assessed directly by the Department of Transport and Planning.

Designed by SJB, the development will comprise a mix of apartments above activated lower levels, with a strong focus on architectural articulation, landscaping, and communal amenity. The design response seeks to balance the industrial character of Richmond’s former warehouse precincts with a more contemporary residential form.

<img alt="First look: Focus Group Investments taps Victoria’s Great Design Fast Track for Richmond apartments" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="abea51cc-d85b-479e-9aef-a589f3b37ca7" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/ground.png?VersionId=e1Kf8EyPWwyiVumtqQ4rM5S4GpOR3CCz" />

Proposed are 63 new dwellings, a wide ranging mix of studio, one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments, and townhouses and duplexes. They will be spread across a part-three, part-eight storey building.

The Planning and Urban Context Report by Tract says the development is of an "exemplary architectural standard" and has been carefully crafted by SJB Architects.

"Dwellings&nbsp;will benefit from excellent access to natural light, cross-ventilation opportunities and extensive communal space," the report noted.

The architectural material highlights the project’s integration of landscaped elements and communal spaces throughout the building. The proposal also incorporates sustainability initiatives aligned with the Victorian Government’s push for higher-performing apartment developments under the fast-track program.

The Great Design Fast Track was unveiled by the Victorian Government in 2024 as part of a broader housing supply strategy aimed at accelerating the delivery of new homes. Projects assessed through the pathway must demonstrate high-quality architecture, sustainability outcomes, and housing diversity while being located close to public transport and existing infrastructure.

Focus Group, founder and led by Paul De Lutiis, is increasingly active across Melbourne’s inner suburbs, targeting well-connected urban renewal locations suited to medium and higher-density residential development. The Fitzroy proposal continues that strategy, leveraging the area’s strong transport links, established retail amenity, and proximity to the CBD.

Fitzroy has been one of the most popular spots for developers and buyers in recent years. The likes of PACE Development Group, SMA Projects, Crema Group and Chapter Group, currently selling projects in the suburb.

Chevron Island

The hotly anticipated Chevron Island apartment development, Tapestry, which was designed to reflect the growing cultural and arts precinct just off Surfers Paradise, has launched to the market.

The 22-level project, on the prized east-side of Chevron Island at 39 Darrambal Street, is being developed by the Brisbane-based Siera Group, led by Brent Thompson,&nbsp;who sits on the board of UDIA QLD and chairs the Brisbane&nbsp;City Council&nbsp;Policy&nbsp;Committee.

The tower was designed by the local architecture firm BDA, whose brief was to merge art with architecture.

The result is a striking building of 113 apartments, featuring a&nbsp;mixture of vertical blade walls and horizontal slab edges which respond to available views and natural light.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108641 project_image_fid=190802]

Cantilevered balcony’s protrude from the building body with curved edges softening the feathered edges, BDA note.

The local aspect in the creation of Tapestry was one of the key focuses&nbsp;for Thompson. Aligning with&nbsp;the Gold Coast City Council's efforts to make Surfers Paradise an arts and cultural hub, Siera also engaged local artist Tania Blanchard to create a piece of artwork that will hang in the lobby when completed.

"There's a great local community on&nbsp;Chevron Island. It's a tight-knit community, while being ideally located just a five minute walk from the international tourist hub of Surfers Paradise," Thompson said.

&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108641 project_image_fid=192962]

The two-bedroom apartments, offering a generous 100 sqm of living space as well as a parking space, start from $679,000. The three-bedroom apartments, which offer 124&nbsp;sqm of living space and two parking spaces, start from $975,000.

Crowning Tapestry is set to be one of the most impressive rooftop amenity spaces on the Gold Coast.

The resident&nbsp;rooftop will feature&nbsp;a resort-style&nbsp;swimming pool with day beds, a spa, and a pool deck. A&nbsp;barbecue and alfresco area will sit in landscaping, as will dining surrounded by an edible garden.

&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108641 project_image_fid=192963]

There is also set to be&nbsp;a private dining space with a terrace and fire pit, a gym with sauna and steam room, and a lounging area with a lawn.

Tapestry is the first development on the Gold Coast for Siera, and Thompson spent around 18 months understanding the local market to make sure the project was going to be a success.

"Spending time on the ground allowed us to understand what was coming to the market, what developers were saying, and who was buying sites and where," Thompson said.

He identified some nice beachside opportunities, but really wanted to create something that was targeted at a wider net, rather than the multi-million dollar apartments that are limited to the fortunate few.

"We want the local owner occupier, who could be living&nbsp;in a medium-size house in the area, to be able to downsize or rightsize, or have others who just want to find a new lifestyle, and have the opportunity to do so without being priced out."

Pezet Matheson will be handling the sales at Tapestry.

Siera launch artistic Chevron Island apartment development, Tapestry

The contemporary Chevron Island apartment development, Nina, has been given the green light by the Gold Coast City Council.

The development by Aecore, formerly Macquarie York, is their third in three years on the Gold Coast. They successfully sold out their debut Chevron Island project, Allure,&nbsp;just a few months ago. They're also currently developing the luxury Ocean House project in Palm Beach.

The $90 million Nina will soon rise at 8-10 Parneno Street, just around the corner form the under-construction Allure. It will have&nbsp;78 apartments over 23 storeys, including a selection of six premium skyhomes and two multi-level penthouses that offer views east to the Pacific Ocean and west to the Gold Coast Hinterland.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108640 project_image_fid=186593]

“We are extremely happy to have council approval behind us, as we now look to the next phase of delivering our signature dose of luxury to Chevron Island,” Aecore Project Director Roy Skaf said.

“Nina offers us the opportunity to build on the success we witnessed in Allure, while bringing a newer, differentiated product to a marketplace of buyers eager to call Chevron Island home."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108640 project_image_fid=186387]

The six exclusive skyhomes will offer 233 sqm of living space, which will include&nbsp;three bedrooms, a media room and four-bathrooms, as well as two large balconies.

Nina will be topped by two double-storey penthouses offering even more living space, as well as their own private terrace and plunge pool.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108640 project_image_fid=186591]

On the ground floor residents will have access to a secure bike storage area at the building’s entry, while a mezzanine level above the ground floor will host a wellness centre to include a yoga deck, a large gym, sauna and shower facilities, all set in lush landscaping.

Plus Architecture has been engaged to deliver the tower’s distinctive curvature and detailing which was meticulously designed to capture the coastal essence of ‘barefoot luxury’.

Nina, Chevron Island apartments, secure development approval

Resident amenity in apartment towers has gone up a notch over the last few years, as people are spending more time in their homes and working remotely.

It can be a defining factor&nbsp;in a buyers decision to secure an apartment in one development over another, and developers are getting wise to that fact.

Pezet Matheson Director Todd Matheson believes Tapestry, the recently launched&nbsp;Chevron Island&nbsp;apartment development from Siera Group, has one of the&nbsp;best on the exclusive island, if not even the wider Gold Coast.

&quot;We&#39;ve seen it on a few projects where developers have dedicated the rooftop to communal facilities, but not to this standard in this area,&quot; Matheson says.

&quot;It&#39;s a huge space where residents can enjoy a number of different facilities and zones, as well as offering sweeping views across the whole of the Gold Coast.&quot;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108641 project_image_fid=192959]

Siera Group Founder and Managing Director, Brent Thompson, says when they&nbsp;were designing the rooftop, they really wanted to make sure that they created multiple breakout zones so that residents were able to be in their own private little areas when enjoying the facilities.

&quot;Reminiscent&nbsp;of&nbsp;the&nbsp;famous&nbsp;hotel&nbsp;rooftops&nbsp;of&nbsp; the&nbsp;world,&nbsp; The&nbsp;Roof&nbsp;Terrace&nbsp;at&nbsp;Tapestry&nbsp;is&nbsp;a&nbsp;multi-faceted&nbsp;retreat&nbsp;for residents&nbsp;to enjoy their space,&quot; Thompson says.

<iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="415" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/iPLBGk-azaw" title="YouTube video player" width="660"></iframe>

&quot;Whether&nbsp;it&rsquo;s&nbsp;a&nbsp;swim&nbsp;in&nbsp;the&nbsp;resort&nbsp;pool, relaxing on the day bed deck or sunken lounge area, some quiet time on the lawn terrace or tending to the vegetable garden, there&rsquo;s a space for&nbsp;everyone&nbsp;to&nbsp;enjoy&nbsp;in&nbsp;total&nbsp; privacy.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108641 project_image_fid=192964]

Offering panoramic views, the rooftop is complete with a resort-style swimming pool, barbecue and alfresco space, a private dining room with a terrace and fire pit, an edible garden, a private gym with a sauna and steam room, along with the many landscaped lawns and gardens scattered throughout.

Siera were clever in the design of the resort-style swimming pool, which makes it even more unique.

&ldquo;We&#39;ve lent into creating a pool that had those private breakout spaces for people, so you could have your own privacy, and we also wanted to make sure that the pool didn&#39;t obstruct the beautiful views that we have to the northeast over the Nerang river and into the Surfers Paradise skyline,&quot; Thompson added.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108641 project_image_fid=192963]

&ldquo;We actually removed one of the apartments on the level below and we&#39;ve dropped the pool down into that space so you get this really seamless pool experience with the spectacular view, with the pool then becoming an infinity edge that then overlooks the rest of the Gold Coast.&quot;

On the roof is also a private residence dining room and dining terrace, which looks&nbsp;out to the southwest, over HOTA and into the hinterland.&rdquo;

&ldquo;This is a space residents are able to book through an online booking application that Siera will run as part of the management of the building and it&#39;s a great place to be able to hold those special events where you want to invite family and friends over and enjoy everything that tapestry has to offer in your own private setting, so we think that&#39;s going to be very special for milestone events like birthdays engagements and anniversary&#39;s and we&#39;re really excited about the residents of tapestry to being able to enjoy that.&rdquo;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108641 project_image_fid=192969]

There&#39;s further dining options, around the two barbecues, as well as a veggie garden, something Thompson put a level of importance on when designing the rooftop.

&ldquo;We wanted to create this sense of community for the residents, a place where those that are interested in being a part of the vegetable garden and community would be able to. The garden is really low maintenance and very practical, that the residents are going to be able to take ownership of and really create a sense of community and belonging.&rdquo;

Tapestry&#39;s rooftop is also home to a fully-functional gym and wellness facility, which has&nbsp;indoor and outdoor activation, as well&nbsp;as a sauna and steam room&nbsp;that ties into the entire wellness&nbsp;space.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108641 project_image_fid=192971]

&ldquo;We wanted to have this health and wellness story to the rooftop as well and that comes right through from the pool and into the spa facilities.

&quot;We&#39;ve got an outdoor shower as well as our outdoor lawn area which is going to be real grass where people are going to be able to utilise that to do yoga or outdoor activities and this also ties into our residence gym which is located on the rooftop as well.&quot;

Tapestry, rising 22-levels, on the prized east-side of&nbsp;Chevron Island&nbsp;at 39 Darrambal Street, is being developed by the Siera Group, led by Brent Thompson,&nbsp;who sits on the board of UDIA QLD and chairs the Brisbane&nbsp;City Council&nbsp;Policy&nbsp;Committee.

The tower was designed by the local architecture firm BDA, whose brief was to merge art with architecture.

The result is a striking building of 113 apartments, featuring a&nbsp;mixture of vertical blade walls and horizontal slab edges which respond to available views and natural light.

&nbsp;

Siera Group Founder and Managing Director, Brent Thompson, says when they were designing the rooftop, they really wanted to make sure that they created multiple breakout zones

Is this the best rooftop amenity in Surfers Paradise?

Gold Coast developer Aniko Group, the company behind the transformation of Hope Island,&nbsp;is headed to&nbsp;Chevron Island for its latest project.

Aniko has acquired a development site at Chevron Island on which it is planning a Plus Architecture-designed tower.

The 1,518 sqm site&nbsp;at 12-16 Weemala Street, sold by GV Property Group&#39;s Luke Reaby, is positioned in the south-west pocket of Chevron Island, within easy access to the island suburb&rsquo;s retail strip and the city&rsquo;s emerging cultural precinct at HOTA.

Aniko managing director George Mastrocostas said he is currently reviewing his options for the Chevron Island site with a view to building on the success the company has achieved at Hope Island.

&ldquo;We are taking a different approach to Chevron Island in keeping with the community fabric of the island suburb,&rdquo;&nbsp;Mastrocostas said.

&ldquo;Chevron is just a short walk to Surfers Paradise, the beach, the Gold Coast&rsquo;s cultural heart and all the amenities the central Gold Coast has to offer. It&rsquo;s both laid back and sophisticated at the same time, so these are the elements that we will inspire us when we finalise our plans.&rdquo;

Plus Architecture Director Danny Juric says the tower will be inspired by &lsquo;elegant simplicity&rsquo;.

&ldquo;Our concept for the project is really driven by this idea of creating more than an apartment &ndash; we want to create homes. Homes that sit in the sky gazing in 360 degrees across the waterways, city skyline, and sunsets over the hinterland,&rdquo; he said.

&ldquo;We want the structure to convey this simple elegance while being grounded by a collection of townhomes that complements the distinct village atmosphere of Chevron Island.&rdquo;

<a href="/new-apartments/orama-chevron-island-12-16-weemala-street-chevron-island">To keep up to date with the development and its launch, enquire here.</a>

Aniko Group is renowned for creating residences designed for owner occupiers.

The company&rsquo;s latest development, No. 35 Grant Avenue, will bring to market 48 townhouses and 10 waterfront duplex villas to Hope Island. The development has been designed around an expansive park precinct with meandering walkways and gardens to create an urban oasis for residents.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=95316 project_image_fid=184675]

&ldquo;We are looking forward to transforming this site into a residential offering that will appeal to a broad range of buyers,&rdquo;&nbsp;Mastrocostas added.

&ldquo;Our aim is to create large living spaces and deliver a range of superb resident amenities that align with the convenience of the Chevron Island location.&rdquo;

Over the past few years Aniko has been pivotal in the transformation of the Gold Coast&rsquo;s North Shore, delivering back-to-back to sell-outs in its premium waterfront developments across Hope Island.

The company&rsquo;s debut foray into the residential enclave saw it sell out stages 1 and 2 of its No. 1 Grant Avenue development in just five months.

Overflow demand quickly flooded its successive development, the $125 million Athena, located just across the road which spent just three months on the market.

“We are taking a different approach to Chevron Island in keeping with the community fabric of the island suburb,” Mastrocostas said

Aniko Group secure Chevron Island apartment development site

Niña is the latest Chevron Island apartment development to hit the small Gold Coast island inland from Surfers Paradise.

It's the second development on the island by the Sydney-based Macquarie York, who are just a few apartments away from selling out their first Chevron Island project, Allure.

Niña, less than 200 metres from Allure at 8-10 Parnero Street, will home 73 apartments in a 22-level building designed by Plus Architecture.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108640 project_image_fid=186291]

Plus, led locally&nbsp;by Danny Juric, cleverly designed Niña&nbsp;so&nbsp;every apartment can capture views&nbsp;of the ocean. They call Niña's design "coastal sophistication with barefoot luxury," with one of the main design drivers the timeless curves, which will stand the test of time.

The two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartments with over 80 sqm of internal living space start from $700,000, with the three-bedroom apartments spanning over 116 sqm priced from $950,000.

Levels one to seven will have four apartments per floor, three-bedder&nbsp;at the front of the building, and two-bedders&nbsp;with their own media rooms located at the rear of the building. This is where Plus' clever design comes in. The two-beds will have balconies that extend on the side of the building, allowing for views of the ocean.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108640 project_image_fid=186591]

From level eight, the building will have a four metre set-back. Levels eight to 15 will home four two-bedroom apartments per floor, before hitting level 16 where the large sub-penthouse style apartments kick in.

There will still be two two-bedders at the back, but spanning the width of the building will be a half-floor, three-bedroom apartment, with two balconies, one off the master suite which will have its own walk in wardrobe and ensuite, and one off the open plan kitchen, living and dining room. These apartments will also have a media room.

There are two two-level penthouses from level 21. Downstairs is one of the bedrooms, and the main living, kitchen and dining area. Upstairs is another two bedrooms, and another outdoor terrace with its own plunge pool.

On this level is also an&nbsp;open rooftop will be further amenity, including a wet edge, resort-style pool with day beds, a sunken firepit space with built in seating, and a barbecue terrace, and with seating.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108640 project_image_fid=186592]

The town planner, Urban Planning Services,&nbsp;said Plus designed the building based on a local coastal vernacular, playing off the image of surrounding modern developments.

“Niña is beautiful, elegant and feminine, but with an undeniable strength and presence," Plus Architecture director&nbsp;Danny Juric said.

"From the very beginning, we set out to create a building that was truly individual and boldly stepped away from the traditional interpretations of what Gold Coast living embodied."

Mirador, Chevron Island apartments, designed to hero private and public entertaining

Chevron Island&#39;s apartment record has been set, with the off t​he plan penthouse in the newly launched Greenwich apartment tower selling for $4.25 million.

A local buyer has amalgamated two apartments in the Anembo Street tower, developed by the Brisbane-based developer Ention Properties,&nbsp;to create a massive whole-floor apartment with five bedrooms, five bathrooms, two living rooms and three balconies.

It will span 400 sqm of internal living space, and 60 sqm of balconies and terraces in the architecturally-striking project by Ferro Chow Architects,&nbsp;who were inspired by Manhattan&#39;s famous Flatiron building,

&ldquo;We were approached by a buyer who had a spectacular vision for Greenwich&rsquo;s top floor, prompting us to reconfigure its design into the most spacious penthouse ever seen on Chevron Island,&rdquo; Ention Founding Director, Trent Thoroughgood, said.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=6647 project_image_fid=171555]

&ldquo;The new design materialises a sprawling New York City apartment, with high ceilings, soaring arched windows, impeccable views across the Gold Coast&rsquo;s glittering sights and a truly incredible level of internal and external living space.&rdquo;

KM Sales and Marketing Associate Director Todd Matheson says there&#39;s been huge interest for Greenwich since its unique design was revealed a few months ago.

&ldquo;We have received an enormous amount of enquiry since we took the wraps off Greenwich, and we&rsquo;ve seen the bulk of this interest come from owner occupiers who have been drawn in by Greenwich&rsquo;s unique design and proximity to local lifestyle precincts,&rdquo; Matheson said.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=6647 project_image_fid=183797]

&ldquo;You&rsquo;ve got this genuine sense of New York extravagance sat at what is essentially the gateway between two of the Gold Coast&rsquo;s most vibrant arts and entertainment destinations, HOTA and Surfers Paradise.&quot;

Greenwich will mostly comprise of three-bedroom apartments, with a selection of two-bedroom units, the latter starting from $595,000. Prices rise to $2.5 million for the largest three-bedroom apartments.

&ldquo;Greenwich has opened the door a broad market of buyers to get their hands on the high-end luxury they&rsquo;ve typically been priced out of, from downsizers to young executives and even some savvy first home buyers,&rdquo;&nbsp;Matheson added.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=6647 project_image_fid=171554]

&ldquo;Make no mistake though, this one of the most remarkable residential collections to hit the market and I believe it won&rsquo;t take long for such a rare shot at luxury to fly off the shelf.&rdquo;

Greenwich will take advantage of its location with&nbsp;arched floor-to-ceiling windows which will allow for views across the&nbsp;surrounding parkland, the Nerang River, and the hinterland.

The tower will be crowned by a&nbsp;yoga lawn and luxury rooftop pool, which will also take in views over the city skyline and the river.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=6647 project_image_fid=183798]

Chevron Island penthouse record set in New York-style apartment development, Greenwich

Citimark&nbsp;has cut more than half of the apartments that have now been launched in their contemporary Chevron Island apartment development, Mirador.

The South East Queensland apartment developer is seeking to chop the 164 apartments down to just 71 in the&nbsp;development, which will take the offering to a more high-end standard with larger apartments.

There will be a mix of two, three and four-bedroom apartments, including the podium level Terrace Apartments, and the 17th level Sky Homes. Prices will start from $690,000, and range to $2.4 million.

Set in the heart of the vibrant Chevron Island Village at 8 Mawarra Street, Mirador apartments will offer&nbsp;views to the Surfers Paradise skyline, Pacific Ocean, Nerang river, HOTA parkland and the Gold Coast hinterland.

David Higgins, Colliers Director of Residential&nbsp;said Chevron Island was uniquely positioned as a best-of-both-worlds coastal destination.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=107520 project_image_fid=180727]

&ldquo;Mirador serves up luxury island living with the world at your doorstep, with prime walkability to all the most unique amenity on offer from Surfers Paradise entertainment precinct, the beach, the HOTA&rsquo;s art capital with its extensive parkland areas and the high energy retail hub of Thomas Drive,&quot; Higgins says.

&quot;I believe that Mirador&rsquo;s location is Chevron Island&rsquo;s best location at the foot of the new pedestrian bridge giving residents a scenic waterside 3-minute walk to HOTA and the weekend farmers market.

&ldquo;Chevron Island is one of those rare gems that retains a sense of tranquillity without being completely cut off from the recreational amenity that the Gold Coast is famed for, it&rsquo;s essentially at the gateway to everything you could need to live out the ultimate coastal dream and is within walkable proximity to major lifestyle amenities of Southport Golf Course and the renowned Gold Coast Turf Club.&rdquo;

Mirador&rsquo;s design by Cottee Parker Architects&nbsp;takes strong cues from the curvature of the coastline and ocean swell.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=107520 project_image_fid=178829]

&ldquo;Each of the residences are orientated to maximise views, with undulating facade to emphasise the natural movement of the ocean, whilst allowing for maximum articulation and efficiency of layouts,&rdquo; Higgins added.

Both podium and rooftop will be wrapped by lush landscaping to create a garden oasis retreat from the village below.

Wellness is an important feature&nbsp;Mirador&rsquo;s design, with the podium level resort style facilities featuring&nbsp;a gym and yoga lawn and a pilates, sauna, steam,&nbsp;massage and&nbsp;game&nbsp;rooms.

Outside there&#39;s a&nbsp;pool with sun deck and private pool side cabanas and two private barbecue lounges.

There&#39;s also been consideration to the retail tenancy on the ground level, intended to host a spa or wellness operator.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=107520 project_image_fid=180726]

Further amenity is located on the rooftop, where there&#39;s a&nbsp;fully equipped private dining room, lounge room, and adjoining club lounge, and private barbecue&nbsp;lounges.

Higgins says the team wanted to create a collection of amenities that would allow residents to love among a level of indulgence usually associated with a luxury getaway.

&ldquo;Mirador boasts a level of amenity equal to a high-end exclusive resort with the privacy of a home,&rdquo; Higgins says.

&ldquo;The rooftop is a gem in its own right &ndash; it&rsquo;s a spectacular destination to relax with company while taking in the panoramic views of the Nerang River, Gold Coast hinterland and out to the Pacific Ocean.&rdquo;

Mirador apartments launched on Chevron Island, as apartment numbers gets halved

Chevron One, the luxury apartment tower on Chevron Island, is one step closer, as the Melbourne-based developer Bensons have appointed the well regarded and experienced construction firm, ICON, to build the 41-level building.

Construction will begin October 11 on what will be the only high-rise on the island, with the build&nbsp;expected to take just over three years to complete. Bensons are aiming for completion before Christmas 2024.

ICON are one of Australia and New Zealand&#39;s largest and most experienced construction providers. Currently that have over 75 buildings under construction, including the sell-out Signature Broadbeach tower nearby.

They&#39;ve previously built the modern Auckland apartment, retail and hotel tower, The Pacifica, and recently signed off on the luxury Circular Quay, Sydney apartment development, The Harrington Collection.

On the appointment, Bensons Property Group Managing Director Rick Curtis said&nbsp;&ldquo;For us, it&rsquo;s about selecting a builder who is able to not only execute our commitment to the design, quality and timely delivery of Chevron One, but one that can do so in a way that reflects our company mission to deliver exceptional living, whilst making a positive contribution to local communities&rdquo;.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=6515 project_image_fid=68841]

Luke Young, ICON Director of QLD, WA and NT, called Chevron One a landmark project for the Gold Coast.

&quot;ICON are proud to be partnering with Bensons for the construction of the project of such significance. Bensons have an established reputation of developing high quality apartments, which is something that we pride ourselves on being able to offer,&quot; Young said.

&quot;We are excited to be underway.&quot;

Chevron One is the vision of the Bensons chairman,&nbsp;philanthropist and art patron&nbsp;Elias Jreissati, who spends a considerable amount of time each year on the Gold Coast with his wife Colleen.

He wants to create an offering that epitomises understated luxury that Melbourne is accustomed to, combined with uninterrupted panoramic views over Surfers Paradise, all within an exclusive island location.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=6515 project_image_fid=174033]

Bensons has&nbsp;just released their Daylight Sky Homes collection, occupying the upper levels of the tower, with the best, never-to-be-built-out views of Surfers Paradise. They start from&nbsp;$1.5 million, and range up to $15 million, the price tag for the huge 1,000 sqm sub penthouse.

They held back the apartments, but there has been such demand for luxury, larger apartments in the area.

Jreissati will be hanging on to the penthouse, the largest ever created on the Gold Coast spanning nearly 2,000 sqm.

Designed by global architecture practice Marchese Partners, Chevron One is built on the principle of a strong integration between indoor/outdoor living, with oversized balconies one of the key liveability factors.

There&#39;s around 2,000 sqm of resident amenity, including two pools (one an outdoor lagoon style with a floating cinema and one indoor),&nbsp;an indoor/outdoor beach, a gym, a number of spas, a residents&nbsp;lounge with BBQ area and an outdoor sun-lounge on the podium level.

[smartcode_project_cta: project_id=6515]

Bensons appoint ICON to build luxury Chevron Island apartment tower, Chevron One

Any fears of oversupply across the Gold Coast were well and truly quelled in September, with data form Urbis suggesting that, if the current sales demand continues&nbsp;and no new developments are released, there would only be around four months of apartments left.

There&#39;s been a continued uptake in residential apartment projects, with some developers still seeing exceptional results in the early weeks of launching.

Urban has wrapped up all of the moves in the apartment market

Chevron One adds further level of luxury, with the new Sky Homes release featuring the Gold Coast&rsquo;s biggest ever penthouse

[smartcode_project:default project_id=6515 project_image_fid=174034]

Chevron One, set to reign as Chevron Island&#39;s only luxury high-rise apartment tower, is about to achieve another level of luxury the Gold Coast hasn&#39;t seen before.

The Melbourne-based Bensons Property Group has released its Sky Home collection, starting from levels 31 and rising to level 41, soaring nearly 100 metres in the air. Bensons hadn&#39;t released the high-level apartments, but are now seeing high demand in ultra-luxury, large apartments in the sky.

When complete, Chevron One will be the tallest tower on the exclusive island, and the tallest there ever will be, with the Gold Coast City Council two years ago bringing in strict planning laws, limiting future apartment projects to 33 metres, or 12 storeys.
