Repeat buyers are one of the strongest measures of confidence in any apartment development.

At <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/era-newcastle-west-124-126-bull-street-newcastle-west-nsw-2302">ERA</a> in Newcastle West, some purchasers are returning to <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/gwh">GWH</a> after living at the developer's One Apartments. Their decision to purchase again was driven by the quality of life they found after moving into their first GWH home.

Keith Wilton had spent years living in a house in East Maitland before deciding it was time for a change. Apartment living had always been on his radar, but he was selective about what he wanted.

"I had some boxes I wanted to tick," he says.

Keith points to the open-plan design, generous outdoor areas and considered inclusions as key reasons One Apartments worked for him.

“One of those things was a nice indoor open plan area, but also I wanted a nice outdoor open area that I could entertain on in summer or Christmases or birthdays,” he says.

He also found value in the smaller details, from integrated appliances to shared resident spaces including the pool, cinema and rooftop areas.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=135096 project_image_fid=356818]

After comparing several developments, he chose One Apartments because of GWH's longstanding local reputation and his own experience working with the developer on a commercial project more than a decade earlier.

"I knew that they were local, that the quality of the build was going to be up there. I'd looked at other apartment complexes around and close by, and I just knew that here was a better decision location wise."

Today, Keith says the move has completely changed how he experiences Newcastle.

"I enjoy living in this location because it's more of a lifestyle change. That Newcastle city living where you can walk to restaurants and bars and even beaches and parks and even shopping across the road."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=135096 project_image_fid=356828]

Beyond the location, he says it's the sense of community that has surprised him most.

"Everyone loves living here because they chose to live here, but everyone looks out for each other. It's a real great community feel here."

For Aimee and Lyle Goodman, the journey started almost by chance.

<iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/tsioMLcnjas?si=zq-ys3JuWpfa5hFv" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe>

The couple happened to be having coffee in Newcastle when they noticed the site where One Apartments was about to begin construction.

"We were aware GWH was planning a development," Aimee says. "We made one phone call and things moved pretty quickly after that."

As busy business owners, they initially thought apartment living would simply reduce the maintenance that came with larger homes. Instead, it fundamentally changed how they spent time together.

"We actually catch up more as a family now," Aimee says.

"We've had homes with big yards and lots of space, but everyone ended up in different rooms. Here we'll have dinner together, the kids can play, and we spend far more quality time together."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=135096 project_image_fid=356829]

Lyle says their confidence came from GWH's reputation within Newcastle's building industry.

"I know people who've worked across different apartment projects, and whenever GWH came up the feedback was always the same. They're rock solid. They're quality."

That confidence only grew throughout the buying process.

"One of the things that really impressed us with GWH was the whole process, was the communication," Lyle says. "It was consistent, it was regular, there was no problem if we had some weird questions, there was no problems in getting answers."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=135096 project_image_fid=351104]

Aimee says one moment stood out.

"The project actually finished on time. We realised we needed to hurry up and sell our house because everything was happening exactly when they said it would."

The positive experience at One Apartments ultimately gave all three buyers the confidence to purchase again with GWH, this time at ERA.

Their confidence reflects what many buyers are seeking in today's apartment market. Location remains important, but so too does certainty around delivery, quality and long-term liveability.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=135096 project_image_fid=356822]

ERA builds on those foundations with 280 one, two and three-bedroom apartments across two landmark towers in <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/newcastle-west-nsw-2302">Newcastle West</a>.&nbsp;

Designed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/fk-australia">Fender Katsalidis</a>, the project will include more than 2,000 square metres of resident amenities, including a resort-style pool, gym, sauna, private cinema and rooftop entertaining spaces overlooking the harbour and coastline.&nbsp;

The development is also within walking distance of the Newcastle Interchange, Honeysuckle, Darby Street, the harbour foreshore, restaurants, retail and the city’s beaches, continuing the walkable lifestyle that existing GWH buyers say has transformed how they live.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=135096 project_image_fid=356826]

For Keith, the appeal remains straightforward.

"You feel at home even before you've moved into your home."

For Aimee, the change is measured in time.

“I just felt like I had more time,” she says.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=135096 project_image_fid=351102]

Construction at ERA is now underway, with more than half of the residences already sold and limited two and three-bedroom apartments remaining in the East Tower release. Priced from $980,000 for two-bedroom residences and $1.46 million for three-bedroom residences, buyers can secure an apartment with a 10 per cent deposit, with premium homes offering ocean views from Level 8 and harbour views from Level 10.

ERA is also backed by Resilience Insurance's 10-year Latent Defects Insurance policy, providing protection against structural or waterproofing defects for 10 years after completion. The project is anticipated to be completed in early 2028.

From ONE to ERA: Why buyers are choosing GWH again in Newcastle West

Virgate Property Group is preparing to commence construction of Verdé, its new apartment development in Melbourne's Arts Precinct at Southbank, following a strong run of sales that has seen more than half of the project's 173 apartments secured.

Verdé has attracted a broad mix of first home buyers, owner-occupiers upgrading from nearby inner-city suburbs and investors, with younger owner-occupier couples aged between 28 and 45 accounting for the strongest enquiry. Many are already living in Southbank, South Melbourne, Albert Park, Port Melbourne, South Yarra and the CBD.

"Verdé is located in one of the most desirable pockets of southern Melbourne," Blair Property Group Director Darren Blair, who is managing sales at Verdé, said.

"It's within walking distance of the Arts Centre, Royal Botanic Gardens, Albert Park Lake, and Southbank's restaurants and retail. It's a great lifestyle location with strong amenity and liveability, which made it a very attractive choice for the project."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=4661 project_image_fid=372549]

Virgate was already familiar with the precinct, having previously delivered the successful Domain House development in neighbouring South Melbourne. That experience gave the developer confidence to acquire the Coventry Street site and continue expanding its presence in Melbourne's inner south.

"We had been keeping an eye on the site and the broader precinct for a few months before deciding to move forward with the acquisition," Virgate said.

The project was ultimately secured in 2020 following feasibility studies, planning assessments and due diligence, with the brief centred on delivering "a high-quality, considered design that feels both refined and fit for purpose."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=4661 project_image_fid=314259]

Designed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/bruce-henderson-architects">Bruce Henderson Architects</a>, Verdé comprises 173 one, two and three-bedroom apartments priced from $599,000. The architecture is distinguished by a faceted glass façade that responds to both the site's outlook and Melbourne's changing light conditions.

According to Bruce Henderson Architects, the coloured glazing gives the building a distinctive identity while also providing privacy and solar shading, with residences oriented to capture views across the bay, city skyline and surrounding parklands.

Inside, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/interior-designers/designoffice">DesignOffice</a> has created interiors focused on natural light, efficient planning and enduring materials. Apartments feature engineered oak flooring, natural stone benchtops, floor-to-ceiling glazing and SMEG appliances, while a restrained material palette aims to complement the expansive outlooks rather than compete with them.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=4661 project_image_fid=372550]

Resident amenity has also been designed around everyday functionality rather than occasional use. Facilities include a concierge-serviced lobby, residents' lounge with fireplace, library and co-working space, gym, terrace garden with barbecue facilities, ground-floor café, and package delivery management.

The project's location continues to be one of its strongest drawcards. Positioned on Coventry Street, Verdé sits within walking distance of the National Gallery of Victoria, Arts Centre Melbourne, Royal Botanic Gardens and Albert Park Lake, while Southbank's dining precinct, Sturt Street trams and the new ANZAC Station are all nearby. The surrounding education catchment also includes Melbourne Grammar, Melbourne Girls Grammar, Mac.Robertson Girls' High School and several major university campuses.

The sales team says buyers have responded particularly well to the combination of location, design quality and long-term liveability.

"They're responding really positively to the quality of the design, premium resident amenities and the uninterrupted views. Many also appreciate the location and how connected it is to everything they need."

The ability to secure stamp duty savings before completion has also been a key factor for purchasers, alongside the opportunity to personalise finishes ahead of settlement.

With construction set to commence soon and more than half the apartments already sold, Verdé enters its next phase as one of the Arts Precinct's more established apartment developments, offering remaining buyers an opportunity to secure a residence before construction advances further. Expected completion is scheduled for late 2027.

Virgate's Verdé Southbank moves toward construction as sales fly past halfway stage

Downsizer-focused apartment development Kooyongkoot in Hawthorn has been recognised at the 2026 Better Future Melbourne Design Awards, taking home Gold and Silver awards in two categories.

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/kooyongkoot-hawthorn-1-kooyongkoot-road-hawthorn-vic-3122">Kooyongkoot</a>, currently being delivered by developer PQD and designed by Cera Stribley, received Gold in the Interior Design – Proposed category and Silver in the Architecture – Proposed category.

The dual recognition reflects the design approach behind the boutique development on prestigious Kooyongkoot Road, where the focus has been on creating homes for downsizers seeking the space, quality and functionality of a detached house within a low-rise apartment building.

Rather than maximising apartment numbers, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/pqd">PQD</a> and <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/cera-stribley-architects">Cera Stribley</a> limited the development to just 18 residences, allowing for larger floorplans, greater privacy, generous landscaping and expansive communal spaces.&nbsp;The majority of the apartments also benefit from corner aspects, allowing for dual sources of natural light.

Now around 70 per cent complete and on track for completion in November 2026, Kooyongkoot will comprise a mix of garden residences, ter​race apartments, sub-penthouses, and is crowned by two half-floor penthouses with direct lift access and private rooftop terraces.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=102717 project_image_fid=355297]

The Silver Award for Architecture recognised the way the building responds to its prominent corner position at the ent​rance to Hawthorn's Scotch Hill precinct, one of Melbourne's most established residential neighbourhoods.

Rather than competing with the grand homes that line Kooyongkoot Road, the architectural approach focused on restraint and longevity, using curved brickwork, generous landscaping and carefully considered proportions to integrate with the existing streetscape.

"The form feels fluid and timeless, as though shaped by the landscape itself – architecture that belongs, rather than competes," said Chris Stribley, Co-Founder and Managing Principal of Cera Stribley.

The judging submission also highlighted practical innovations throughout the building, including lift cores servicing only nine homes each, a central landscaped lightcourt designed to bring daylight and ventilation into the building, and fully enclosed private storage rooms with lighting, power and shelving to better accommodate residents transitioning from larger family homes.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=102717 project_image_fid=355293]

The Gold Award for Interior Design recognised the project's focus on long-term liveability rather than display-home aesthetics.

According to the awards submission, the interiors were designed from the inside out, prioritising how homes would function over decades of daily use through generous proportions, practical storage, durable natural materials and flexible layouts.

The specification includes natural stone throughout, upgraded acoustic glazing, V-ZUG appliances and fully enclosed storage rooms, alongside an amenity offering focused on wellness, entertainment and everyday convenience.&nbsp;

Residents will have access to a gym and yoga studio, a wellness centre featuring traditional and infrared saunas, a cold therapy shower and treatment room, as well as a residents' lounge and golf simulator/cinema room for entertainment.&nbsp;Kooyongkoot has also considered the everyday convenience of its residents by offering a private carwash and pet wash facilities on site as well as dedicated parcel lockers and oversized fully enclosed storage rooms.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=102717 project_image_fid=355303]

The project's attention to detail has already resonated with buyers. Earlier this year, Kooyongkoot recorded one of Boroondara's highest apartment sales when an $8 million penthouse was purchased by a Melbourne CEO downsizing from a nearby family home.

"Every detail feels deliberate, from the overall design down to the smallest touches," the purchaser said.

"The level of quality and refinement is exceptional, but what really sold it was how liveable it felt... It felt like a place where everything had been considered, not just a luxury building."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=102717 project_image_fid=355304]

Sustainability also formed a key part of both award submissions. Kooyongkoot is targeting a minimum 7.5-star NatHERS rating across all residences, supported by passive design principles, high-performance glazing, EV charging infrastructure, water reuse systems and a wellness model focused on lower-energy dry facilities rather than pools and large wet areas.

Located within walking distance of Scotch College, Methodist Ladies' College, Koo​yong Lawn Tennis Club, Aubur​n Village and Camberwell Junction, Kooyongkoot continues to target owner-occupiers looking to remain in Melbourne's inner east without compromising on space or quality. A limited selection of two, three and four-bedroom residences remains available, with prices starting from $1.9 million.

Kooyongkoot wins Gold and Silver at Better Future Melbourne Design Awards

New apartment supply has become increasingly constrained across <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/parramatta-nsw-2150">Parramatta</a> in recent years, with fewer projects progressing through to completion as development conditions have become more challenging.

It makes <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/novm">NOVM</a>'s 2021-completed <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/buildings/the-lennox-parramatta-12-phillip-street-parramatta-nsw-2150">The Lennox</a> one of the most recently completed residential towers on the Parramatta River, and among the newest apartment developments in Sydney's second CBD.

With the project largely completed before the sharp escalation in construction costs and inflation following the pandemic, The Lennox is now offering pricing that would be difficult to replicate in a comparable new development in Parramatta today, or across much of Western Sydney.

The majority of the 413 apartments at The Lennox sold before and shortly after completion. A limited release of the remaining apartments has recently been brought to market by capital partner <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/project-marketer/equitifund-group">Equitifund</a>, with entry-level pricing from $700,000 and two-bedroom apartments available from under $1 million.

Rising above the Parramatta River at 12 Phillip Street, The Lennox comprises one, two, three and four-bedroom apartments, appealing to first home buyers, young professionals, families, downsizers and interstate investors seeking a completed apartment in one of Australia's fastest-growing economic centres.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=5743 project_image_fid=372394]

Rather than positioning Parramatta as an alternative to Sydney's CBD, Equitifund believes the city has reached a point where it stands on its own merits.

"Parramatta is no longer simply an alternative to Sydney CBD, it's becoming a destination in its own right," Equitifund Executive Chairman Greg Huxley said.

"The Lennox captures that evolution with a level of quality and amenity that's difficult to match at its price point."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=5743 project_image_fid=953]

Designed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/marchese-partners">Marchese Partners</a>, the tower responds directly to its riverfront setting through expansive glazing and open-plan layouts that maximise views across the Parramatta River and city skyline. Interiors feature engineered timber flooring, stone benchtops, stainless steel appliances and floor-to-ceiling glazing, while generous balconies extend the living spaces outdoors.

Marchese Partners says the project was conceived to balance high-quality apartment living with practical, long-term functionality, pairing larger, efficient floorplans with amenities more commonly associated with five-star hotels.

That emphasis continues through the resident facilities, which include a 20-metre rooftop swimming pool, fully equipped gym and wellness spaces, full-time concierge, a residents' lounge, function room, private lifts, secure basement parking and rooftop communal areas overlooking the Parramatta River. Ground-floor boardwalk retail and dining further activate the riverfront and integrate the building into the surrounding public realm.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=5743 project_image_fid=925]

Australian housing and finance group Equitifund has secured the remaining apartments, believing there are few completed apartment opportunities in Parramatta that offer the same combination of location, amenity and pricing.

Equitifund National Sales Director Ben Hamblett says buyers are increasingly recognising that premium apartment living no longer needs to come with Sydney CBD pricing.

"The Lennox is where aspirational living becomes attainable," Hamblett said.

"Wake to river and mountain views, step into Sydney's Second CBD, and arrive home to resort-calibre amenities, all without the harbour price tag."

Hamblett says owner-occupiers are also attracted by the convenience of having Westfield Parramatta, Church Street's dining precinct, Parramatta Park, Riverside Theatres, Western Sydney University and major transport connections all within walking distance.

"At The Lennox, lifestyle is not an afterthought, it is the foundation."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=5743 project_image_fid=5374]

The Lennox places residents within walking distance of Parramatta Square, Westfield Parramatta, Church Street Eat Street, Parramatta Station, the ferry wharf, Light Rail, the future Sydney Metro West, Parramatta Park and CommBank Stadium, reinforcing Parramatta's position as one of Australia's most connected metropolitan centres outside Sydney's CBD.

Equitifund says buyers visiting the display suite consistently comment on the quality of the finishes, generous floorplans, river and skyline views, and the walkability of the location. The project has attracted a broad mix of local professionals, upsizers, downsizers, buyers relocating from Sydney's inner suburbs and interstate investors seeking long-term growth opportunities.

That demand aligns with Parramatta's continued evolution as an economic powerhouse. Equitifund Research and Market Insights specialist John Bekiaris says sustained population growth, infrastructure investment and expanding employment opportunities continue to support long-term housing demand across the city.

"Parramatta has evolved from a satellite city into one of Australia's most important economic centres. Population growth, infrastructure investment and employment are all supporting sustained long-term housing demand."

The apartment price gap drawing Sydney buyers west

A luxury beachfront apartment at Rainbow Bay has more than doubled in value since it sold off the plan six years ago, setting a new local apartment record in the process.

The three-bedroom apartment in the Flow development on Petrie Street, the first of four new projects locally by Paul Gedoun's S&amp;S Projects, has sold for $7.4 million, after originally selling for $3.27 million when the project launched in 2020.

The seventh-floor apartment, comprising 187 sqm of internal living space and a 54 sqm balcony overlooking Froggies Beach and Snapper Rocks, was purchased by a local family.

The transaction was negotiated by Pezet Matheson director Kerry Pezet and equates to more than $30,000 per sqm.

Pezet said the sale reflected the limited opportunities to buy into the boutique beachfront development.

"The sale highlights the rarity of opportunities within the boutique beachfront development, where residences seldom become available," Pezet said.

"Flow is one of the Gold Coast's most tightly held buildings. Buyers from our database move quickly when residences become available, and achieving an off-market sale at $7.4 million demonstrates the depth of demand for property of this calibre."

<img alt="Flow" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="c585b206-2130-4eee-a50c-3f27c51a7c70" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-07-06%20at%208.33.25%E2%80%AFPM.png?VersionId=m3pHRDV62Y3fvN.XQuQHq.52ilTWpRLf" />

Flow was the first of four luxury apartment developments delivered by Paul Gedoun's S&amp;S Projects at Rainbow Bay and was completed in 2023.

Positioned on the beachfront overlooking Snapper Rocks, the residence includes three bedrooms, three bathrooms, a powder room and views stretching north along the coastline towards Surfers Paradise.

Pezet Matheson Residential principal Mitchell Lambert said buyers continued to prioritise quality beachfront apartments in tightly held locations.

"Flow Residences offers a rare combination of elevated beachfront positioning, architectural excellence, comprehensive resident amenity and premium finishes, which is exactly what discerning purchasers are seeking," Lambert said.

"The transaction further reinforces Rainbow Bay's reputation as one of Australia's premier coastal lifestyle destinations, where limited supply and growing demand continue to support strong market performance."

Pezet Matheson originally marketed and sold out Flow off the plan, making the latest transaction a return to one of the project's original buyers.

Paul Gedoun is selling his third project, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/radia-rainbow-bay-271-boundary-street-coolangatta-qld-4225">Radia Rainbow Bay</a>, after recently completing, and selling out, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/buildings/esprit-217-227-boundary-street-coolangatta-qld-4225">Esprit</a>.

Rainbow Bay apartment doubles in price since off the plan sale during pandemic

Chevron Island

Chevron Island is undergoing a full regeneration, and buyers are starting to descend on the village-style island just off across the bridge from the lifestyle and entertainment hub of Surfers Paradise.

A new arts precinct HOTA (Home of The Arts), Australia&#39;s largest regional art gallery, brought attention to the small island when the $60 million precinct opened its doors in May.

That&#39;s seen a wave of demand in residential development, from both developers seeking to buy the limited amount of land on the island, and buyers keen on calling the area home.

Marquee Development Partners recently secured a sell-out of their nine-level&nbsp;Stanhill Drive development The&nbsp;Catalina, designed by BDA Architecture and inspired by Art Deco.

There&#39;s set to be a new tower, Greenwich, developed by the Brisbane-focused developer&nbsp;Ention Properties. The&nbsp;New York-inspired apartment project, designed by Ferro Chow Architects, is&nbsp;a reflection of Manhattan&#39;s famous Flatiron building.

Further development is anticipated with Catalyst Health set to create two&nbsp;towers, which will be the tallest on the island, for a vertical retirement village.

There&#39;s currently four apartment developments for sale on the island. Urban has grabbed the highlights.

<h2>Allure</h2>

<h2>Prices: Two-bedrooms from $615,000</h2>

[smartcode_project:default project_id=21132 project_image_fid=33895]

Allure is the 17-level Dalpura Street development of 95 apartments, currently being developed by Macquarie York.

There&#39;s a rooftop infinity pool, barbecue area, residents lounge, a health and fitness centre&nbsp;and a conference lounge.

Expected to be completed in 12 months by Condev Constructions to a design by BDA Architects, Allure only has&nbsp;a handful of apartments left, with over 90 per cent sold.

Each apartment has been designed to make the most of the views of the Gold Coast city skyline, Broadwater and the hinterland.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=21132 project_image_fid=33509]

<h2>Chevron One</h2>

Prices: Two-bedrooms from&nbsp;$705,000

[smartcode_project:default project_id=6515 project_image_fid=68839]

Chevron One is set to be Chevron Island&#39;s first high-rise apartment development when completed in mid-2023.

Currently under construction to a design by Marquee Partners and Bensons Property, who are developing the project, Chevron One will rise 41 levels above the sought-after Stanhill Drive dress circle.

Chevron One&nbsp;is home to nearly 2000 sqm of resort-style amenities, including a residents&rsquo; lounge, floating cinema, dining facilities and sculpted garden.

The on-site luxury amenities also include a private dining facilities, a library, multiple swimming pools, a sculpture garden&nbsp;and more.

<h2>H^BIT^T</h2>

Prices: Two-bedrooms from $595,000

[smartcode_project:default project_id=6648 project_image_fid=172461]

The eight-level H^BIT^T at 17-19 Anembo Street, opposite the Korman Family Park, is currently under construction and will comprise 37&nbsp;two and three-bedroom apartments.

A few apartments have been sold, with interstate and local buyers keen on the Anembo Street development.

The building is the passion project of local construction and development veterans, who have spent the last five decades developing and building residential and commercial projects across South East Queensland.

&quot;This is their own private project. The developers have focused on providing a habitat that will sustain and enrich the residents&#39; lifestyles. They were keen to share their sense of place and make a lasting contribution to the amazing&nbsp;Chevron Island&quot;, Segal said.

The three-bedroom apartments are priced from $920,000.

<h2>Boutique</h2>

Prices: Two-bedrooms from $499,000

[smartcode_project:default project_id=89709]

Boutique has some of the biggest apartments on Chevron Island, with just&nbsp;42 apartments&nbsp;being developed by the Sydney-based Draycon across 16 levels.

The resident-only tower with just two and three-bedroom apartments has been&nbsp;designed by BDA Architecture at&nbsp;17-19 Parneno Street.

There&#39;s a residents lounge with business facilities, individual meeting pods and a kitchenette, as well as a swimming pool with spa, gym and barbecue area. The building is crowned with a rooftop garden with&nbsp;herb and citrus planters and outdoor recreational&nbsp;space.

The development is over 70 per cent sold. Construction began earlier this year, with completion slated for Q4 2022.

A new arts precinct HOTA (Home of The Arts), Australia's largest regional art gallery, brought attention to the small island when the $60 million precinct opened its doors in May.

All of Chevron Island's apartments for sale, as development ramps up

Bensons Property Group&rsquo;s Gold Coast landmark development, Chevron One, is set to become the first luxury tower on Chevron Island.

The tower will rise above the new arts and cultural precinct and deliver 236 one, two and three-bedroom apartments designed by international architects Marchese Partners.

&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=6515 project_image_fid=167321]

Organic architecture envelops the residence, with the geometry of the balconies creating a dynamic fa&ccedil;ade.

Inside the apartments in Chevron One on the Gold Coast

<html><body>
The Gold Coast developer Marquee Development Partners has secured a sell out of its Chevron Island apartment development The Catalina.

It comes as demand continues to soar in the Gold Coast apartment market, with Marquee's nearby development Shoreline, nestled between Broadbeach &amp; Surfers Paradise, seeing plenty of enquiry.

The Art Deco-inspired The Catalina, designed by BDA Architecture, comprises 75 apartments across its nine levels and also homes a pool, gym, private dining and rooftop residents club.

The final sale was to a local university staff member who paid $855,000 for a 191 sqm, three bedroom apartment with views over the Nerang River.

The Catalina is due for completion in Q4 2021 and will be Marquee's second building developed on Chevron Island. In 2020 they completed their 61 apartment project Stanhill, which won the 2020 Master Builders Award for best Residential Building in both the Gold Coast and QLD.

The Catalina project averaged mid $500,000’s for quality two bedroom, two bathroom apartments and mid $700,000’s for three bedroom, two bathroom apartments," Marquee's sales director Azura Griffen said.

“This project demonstrates that there is a local market demand for projects that offer value and are within reach of their borrowing capacity," Griffen added.

"It offers purchasers the opportunity to have access to well-priced real estate with a Surfers Paradise address," Griffen said.

Urban's tour of the Chevron One display suite

<html><body>
Chevron One is the $230 million Surfers Paradise apartment block set to rise 40 levels on the Chevron Island's Stanhill Drive.

Developed by Bensons Property Group, Chevron One will comprise 236 one, two and three bedroom apartments. Bensons collaborated with Marchese Partners in the sculptural design of the tower.

Urban sat down with Bensons Property Group senior development manager Alberto Palombaro to discuss Chevron One's design and the 2021 apartment market. Q: Have you seen an increased demand for high-end properties on the Gold Coast in recent months? If so, which aspects of Chevron One set the development apart from other properties on the market right now? 
Since the start of the pandemic, our level of enquiry for high-end properties in the $2m+ range at Chevron One has really spiked, resulting in a handful of very large, high-end residences at Chevron One selling to local owner-occupiers. Buyers at this level expect quality fixtures, fittings and appliances plus the ability to customize the design where requested. 
In terms of what sets Chevron One apart, I would say our level of quality and finish compared to the competition, our ‘never to be built out’ views, and of course the 2000sqm of amenity in the building – one of the largest amenity offerings of any new development on the Gold Coast.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=6515]

Q. What do you perceive the top design trends to be for apartments in 2021 and how does Chevron One utilise these trends to elevate its design? 
There’s no doubt that 2020 has been a year like no other. And if there’s one thing we’ve learned it’s this – there’s no place like home. Australians are spending more time there than ever before. It has become our happy place, a sanctuary to style our way, all to ourselves. This year also gave most of us a taste of what it’s like to really work from home – and it turns out we love it. We can expect to see a demand for new ways to integrate clever working areas into home designs that inspire creativity and opens the ability to work in sync with cooking and the kids. Less clutter, less to clean. We can see this change particularly in the kitchen, I think fewer materials, using the countertop as the backsplash for a more seamless design, and hidden or no hardware altogether. Anything that makes cleaning easier is a win-win.

As well as being aesthetically on-trend; functionality and liveability has been a key focus in the design of Chevron One. Indoor-outdoor living was always a key focus for our floor plans, meaning larger balconies that become an extension of your living and entertaining spaces. Paired with floor to ceiling windows and open plan design this has been a key drawcard for the project.

<a href="/new-apartments/chevron-one-36-46-stanhill-drive-chevron-island"><img alt="" height="425" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/chevron_1.jpg" width="700"></a>

 

Q: As we know, the project’s kitchens are designed by Shannon Bennet, do you anticipate other residences to follow suit with kitchen designs by renowned chefs? 
Yes, that has now been a trend for a few years and it’s only growing. Chefs have a passion for cooking, and they spend most of their time either in commercial kitchens (at work) or in residential kitchens (at home). They have very strong practical skills and the vision for step-by-step meal preparations. They have extended knowledge of state of the art appliances and what’s the best on the market.   Q: Could you please tell us a bit about the three design schemes? Where did you draw inspiration from? 
All four schemes have been created to place value on instilling balance and calm in the living spaces. We have used soft, warm and comforting tones and textures using as much natural materials as possible. Attention to detail, the use of textures, beiges and browns, and inspirations from the beautiful island of Chevron is where we draw our inspiration from. 

 

<a href="/new-apartments/chevron-one-36-46-stanhill-drive-chevron-island"><img alt="" height="679" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/chevron_one_view_0.jpg" width="1200"></a>

Q: What is your favourite feature of Chevron One’s design? 
The wrap-around, curved balconies with glass balustrading allowing residents unobstructed views from their kitchen, all the way out to the Pacific Ocean, Nerang River, Broadwater and Gold Coast Hinterlands – a truly unique design element that not only looks stunning but maximises the views.

Q: What are some of your favourite amenities within walking distance from the development? 
The recently completed HOTA is a great new addition to the local area and is only a 5-minute walk from Chevron One. Sunday’s at HOTA feature Farmers Markets, live music and kids’ activities, as well as monthly concerts and performances. The Thomas Drive retail strip has also come alive in recent years with great coffee, restaurants, and bars with more on the way.

Urban discusses Surfers Paradise apartment block Chevron One with Bensons senior development manager Alberto Palombaro 

<html><body>
The winning $1.2 million bidders of a Chevron Island villa apartment at weekend auction have plans to relocate from their Goulburn, NSW home.

The property was sold by Ray White Surfers Paradise agent Glen Williams, with the three bedroom three bathroom Chevron Riviera villa townhouse (pictured abode) attracting some 25 bids.

It is a three level villa with basement garaging on Stanhill Drive.

<figure><a class="colorbox colorbox-insert-image" href="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/q_auto:good/https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/buyer_of_1_chevron_riviera_214_stanhill_drive_chevron_island_noel_hollingworth.jpg" rel="gallery-all"><img alt="" class="image-article-full-width-580px" height="396" src="/s3/files/styles/article_full_width_580px/public/pictures/article-images/buyer_of_1_chevron_riviera_214_stanhill_drive_chevron_island_noel_hollingworth.jpg?itok=VUYnuwtW" width="580"></a></figure>“We’ve been coming up here to the Gold Coast from Goulburn for years and we also have a couple of units up here, so this one is for our retirement,” the buyer Noel Hollingworth (pictured) said.

“It’s always been in our plans to move to the Gold Coast so we’re extremely happy.

“We’ve been looking at a number of properties but this one stood out to us.

"The fact it was on Chevron Island really appealed to us," he said.

The Chevron Riviera complex has four villas.

The offering, with pool and lift, had last sold in 2005 at $750,000. The neighbouring villa had sold in 2017 at $825,000.

South East Queensland is traditionally the busiest auction location for coastal offerings over the Australia Day long weekend. And 2020 didn't miss despite the pandemic.

Buoyed by the booming demand for Gold Coast property from interstate buyers, Ray White Surfers Paradise Group has reported over $40 million worth of property sales at its big weekend auction.

The RWSP CEO Andrew Bell described it as “the best ever."

There were 315 registered bidders for the 90 properties that went under the hammer, with most of the early items selling at between five and 10 per cent over reserve, along with 15 listings selling prior.
