Abadeen has released the whole-floor penthouse crowning its recently completed <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/buildings/park-residences-cremorne-2-sutherland-street-cremorne-nsw-2090">Park Residences</a> development in Cremorne, bringing the near-300 sqm residence to market for the first time.

Occupying the entire top floor of the boutique Lower North Shore development, the penthouse includes 221 sqm of internal living and a 74 sqm wraparound terrace, with a prized north-facing aspect taking in views across Middle Harbour.

The residence has been completed and fully furnished following a collaboration between Abadeen Executive Chairman Justin Brown and internationally recognised interior designer Jack Freeman, Founder and Managing Director of FREEMAN &amp; CO.

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/abadeen">Abadeen</a> and Freeman approached the penthouse as a finished home, sourcing furniture, artwork, lighting and objects from Australia and overseas.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=114246 project_image_fid=378718]

Pieces from Parisian design house Pierre Augustin Rose sit alongside contemporary artworks and bespoke lighting, with Freeman drawing on recent visits to PAD Paris and Salone del Mobile Milano for the final collection.

Brown said the aim was to create a penthouse that felt more like a large-scale private home than a traditional apartment.

"The experience begins the moment the lift doors open. You're welcomed into an elegant dining room before the home opens into an extraordinary living space framed by sun-drenched harbour views.

"Every time someone walks through the front door they pause. It's not just the view, it's the incredible sense of space, the warmth created by the northern sunlight that fills the interiors, and the way every room connects so effortlessly.

"It has all the proportions of a luxury home, while delivering the effortless lifestyle and personalised experience of living in a world-class six-star hotel, combined with the simplicity and convenience of apartment living."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=114246 project_image_fid=378713]

A secure lift provides exclusive access to the penthouse level, opening to a dedicated arrival foyer and dining area before the residence expands into its main living and entertaining spaces.

Floor-to-ceiling glazing runs across the northern side of the home, connecting the interiors with the terrace and Middle Harbour outlook.

The penthouse also features a fireplace and substantial chef's kitchen, while the wraparound terrace has been designed to accommodate both everyday outdoor living and larger-scale entertaining.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=114246 project_image_fid=378720]

Freeman said the interiors had been deliberately kept restrained to complement the scale, natural light and outlook already established by the architecture.

"The penthouse is a serene study in quiet luxury," Freeman said.

"The interior pairs soft, sculptural forms with warm timber, pale stone and a restrained neutral palette. Curated artwork and metallic accents add depth, while abundant natural light creates a calm, effortlessly refined atmosphere. In my world, less is always more."

Freeman said the approach was centred around collecting individual pieces rather than simply decorating the apartment.

"Every material, every object and every piece of furniture has been curated with intention. I am a true believer in collecting versus decorating.

"The architecture already provided extraordinary natural light, remarkable volume and an uninterrupted connection to Middle Harbour. Our role was to complement those qualities with unique one-of-a-kind pieces of fine art and collectible design sourced from recent travels around the world."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=114246 project_image_fid=378694]

Among the collection are solid bronze sculptures by Lorenzo Quinn, alongside a curated crystalware collection and pieces sourced from international design fairs.

Park Residences sits opposite Cammeray Golf Club, Cammeray Croquet Club and Grand Slam Tennis Cammeray, around 300 metres from Neutral Bay Village and its established collection of restaurants, cafés and retail.

Brown said the combination of a whole-floor floorplan, northern aspect and proximity to Neutral Bay was becoming increasingly difficult to find on the Lower North Shore.

"Completed whole-floor penthouses with a sun-drenched north-facing aspect and sweeping Middle Harbour views are exceptionally rare," Brown said.

"Add a quiet position opposite golf, croquet and tennis facilities, a level walk to Neutral Bay Village and only minutes to the CBD, and you have a lifestyle that's incredibly difficult to replicate.

"This is a home that offers the privacy and generosity of a luxury residence together with the convenience of one of Sydney's best-connected harbourside locations."

The penthouse will be exclusively marketed by SRM Residential.

Abadeen unveils penthouse at Park Residences in Cremorne

New Brisbane developer Dalcott has unveiled Marrone, the first of three residential projects it is planning in and around Browning Street in South Brisbane.

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/marrone-south-brisbane-39-browning-street-south-brisbane-qld-4101">Marrone</a> will comprise 97 predominantly two- and three-bedroom apartments, with larger residences aimed squarely at the owner-occupier market.

The project will sit in a quiet pocket of South Brisbane between South Bank and West End, close to the restaurants, cultural attractions and riverfront amenity that have driven the suburb's continued transformation.

Dalcott is targeting buyers looking for more space and amenity than has traditionally been offered in the inner-city apartment market, particularly downsizers and professionals wanting to remain close to the city.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=149951 project_image_fid=377072]

Resident facilities will be concentrated around an extensive rooftop amenity offering, including a swimming pool, spa, infrared sauna, warm and cold magnesium plunge pools, private lounge, dining room and outdoor entertaining areas.

Dalcott Managing Director Lachlan Cottee said South Brisbane's combination of lifestyle, connectivity and established character had been central to the approach to Marrone.

“South Brisbane offers a combination of lifestyle, connectivity and character that’s difficult to replicate elsewhere in Brisbane,” Cottee said.

“Our focus has been on creating homes that feel connected to that environment while providing the level of design, functionality and quality that today's owner-occupiers expect.”

The residences will feature an expressive material palette. Italian Calacatta Viola marble, known for its deep burgundy veining, will be paired with aged brass tapware, Chestnut engineered timber flooring and Tuscan Oak joinery.

<img alt="Marrone" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="b8d833da-3b30-496a-ae30-07bdff371b50" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-08-25%20at%2010.52.35%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=P6DAgOfaQzIXljKKK5j3e5NhWtrHIu9G" />

Bathrooms will feature Nara Japanese ceramics and glass bricks, while clay, walnut and brass lighting will be used throughout the apartments.

Dalcott has appointed Realm Projects, led by Managing Director Shane Foley, to handle sales and marketing following previous sold-out collaborations between the groups.

Foley said the Brisbane apartment buyer had become increasingly focused on the quality of the home itself rather than simply securing an inner-city address.

“We expect to see strong demand from buyers who still want all the advantages of inner-city living but aren’t prepared to compromise on the quality of their home,” Foley said.

“Many will be downsizers looking to leave behind the maintenance of a traditional family home without giving up the space they enjoy, while others are likely to be professionals wanting a residence that reflects the way they live today.”

“Marrone responds directly to that demand, with generous floorplans, exceptional resident amenity and a location that places some of Brisbane’s best dining, entertainment and cultural attractions within walking distance.”

<img alt="Marrone" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="61f7b22f-899e-4c0f-940a-7d3ab1bfb93a" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-08-25%20at%2010.52.44%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=PvN1JYxBgUpyCB7efKo52WGdSDs9nmim" />

Marrone will be the first project delivered as part of Dalcott's broader investment in the precinct.

It will be followed by La Terra, a boutique project comprising penthouse-style, single-level apartments on a northeast corner site with extensive resident amenity and city views.

Cottee said Marrone represented the first stage of the group's longer-term plans for the area.

Dalcott was established in 2025 by Lachlan Cottee and Ben Dalgliesh, combining development and construction capability under an integrated model and focusing on architecturally considered residential projects.

Marrone will initially be offered through a pre-release registration campaign ahead of its broader public launch.

Dalcott targets owner-occupiers with South Brisbane debut Marrone

Parnell Developments is the latest to seek significant uplift through the NSW Government's Housing Delivery Authority on a Strathfield site previously approved for a much smaller apartment development.

Parnell has sought approval for a 32-storey mixed use tower across&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/7-lyons-street-strathfield-nsw-2135">3-7 Lyons Street and 18 Parnell Street</a>, a&nbsp;1,857 sqm site around 400 metres from Strathfield Station. The building would yield 160 apartments, 15 per cent of which will be dedicated affordable as per the government mandate for buildings seeking additional uplift.

Approved previously was a nine-storey building back in 2022 with just over 30 apartments. That approval came prior to the project being&nbsp;progressively reconsidered as planning policy shifted toward greater density around transport hubs.

<img alt="Strathfield" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="c5af5281-a643-4eb2-b8c4-0081b59c04c7" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-08-25%20at%209.16.48%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=37bd3mI7rHNpThOV_75VO8xsGFwWOi1u" />

Turner has designed the latest building that would replace&nbsp;existing detached homes across the four lots.

The apartment mix comprises 22 one-bedroom apartments, 107 two-bedroom and two-bedroom-plus configurations, and 31 apartments with three or more bedrooms. The scheme also includes 203 car spaces across six basement levels and 58 bicycle spaces.

The proposal has been designed around a three-storey podium addressing Lyons Street, with the tower rising above and stepping toward its upper levels.

Turner said the podium was deliberately scaled to respond to the existing street, while the taller element has been designed as part of the emerging skyline anticipated around Strathfield Town Centre and the wider Homebush transport-oriented development precinct.

The Lyons Street frontage would have a more active, pedestrian-focused character, incorporating the commercial tenancy, landscaping and a brick-framed podium with an awning.

<img alt="Strathfield" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="14b20874-b8c3-4ac7-bc03-92be9a69fb78" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-08-25%20at%209.17.48%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=av.9TxtqIRTC6v3PkSuu1rL9rreWoe2h" />

Parnell Street, which faces the railway corridor, has been given a different architectural treatment, with double-height breeze blocks, landscaping and communal areas used to soften the interface with the rail infrastructure.

The tower itself uses curved and recessed facade elements, with wave-like indentations across the northern elevation breaking the building into three vertical forms.

A palette of grey concrete, brick and breeze blocks is complemented by clay and terracotta accents, while the upper tower adopts a lighter expression through articulated slab edges, vertical fins and recessed glazing.

Residents would have access to 467 sqm of communal open space spread across three levels. The ground floor would accommodate the more active resident areas, including barbecue and group gathering spaces and an internal communal room capable of being used for working from home.

A more passive viewing deck is proposed at level three, overlooking the ground-level landscaping and neighbouring tennis courts, while a rooftop "sunset deck" at level 30 would provide another social and relaxation space.

<img alt="Parnell" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="c3dce401-a80f-4682-8471-4caa01180880" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-08-25%20at%209.17.34%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=Xyo8JVqbOhSJXNy6Ih.1cHL.O6i0bGR." />

&nbsp;

&nbsp;

&nbsp;

Strathfield has been earmarked for substantial change through the Strathfield Town Centre planning work and the nearby Homebush TOD precinct.

Turner's report says the project has been designed to act as a transition between the existing low and mid-rise development surrounding the site and the taller built form expected to emerge across the town centre.

The proposal is being assessed as State Significant Development under the HDA pathway, alongside the concurrent request to amend the Burwood Local Environmental Plan.

First look: New apartment tower pitched for Strathfield Town Centre precinct

An $18 million penthouse has hit the market in Main Beach as construction tops out on La Mer, the $155 million apartment development rising just metres from the beach.

Spanning around 600 sqm across the top two levels of the 29-storey tower on Main Beach Parade, the four-bedroom penthouse is one of the latest eight-figure residences to test the upper end of the Gold Coast apartment market.

Its launch comes amid continued activity at the very top of the market, following the $30 million off-the-plan sale of a Burleigh Heads penthouse earlier this year, which surpassed the Gold Coast's previous $24 million apartment record set in 2023.

The <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/la-mer-main-beach-3580-main-beach-parade-main-beach-qld-4217">La Mer penthouse</a> has been designed as a private residence in the sky, with 360-degree views spanning the ocean, Broadwater, hinterland and Gold Coast skyline.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=95606 project_image_fid=378731]

All four bedrooms have ensuites, while the ocean-facing master retreat occupies around half of the upper level and includes its own lounge, private balcony, two walk-in wardrobes and an oversized ensuite with a freestanding stone bath positioned to take in the views.

The residence also features a kitchen designed to accommodate a private chef, a 3.6-metre island bench, expansive butler's pantry, wine cellar and integrated bar.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=95606 project_image_fid=378732]

A rooftop pool and substantial outdoor entertaining area with its own kitchen sit above the residence, while a grand staircase connects the two internal levels. The penthouse also has its own express lift.

OTP Group Director James Elliott, who is marketing La Mer, said the penthouse was expected to appeal to high-net-worth buyers seeking either a permanent Main Beach residence or Gold Coast holiday home.

“The La Mer penthouse represents exceptional value, considering its quality design, size, privacy and location, not to mention the 360-degree views capturing the beach and Gold Coast Broadwater,” Elliott said.

“We’re anticipating interest from high-net-worth individuals and couples seeking a residence or holiday home in the sought-after village enclave of Main Beach, taking advantage of the unprecedented growth underway in the area and neighbouring The Spit.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=95606 project_image_fid=378736]

La Mer is being developed by developer-builder ODUS and Nazero, in partnership with funder Metrics Credit Partners.

ODUS Director Byron Sakha said topping out the tower had provided the opportunity to release the project's most significant residence.

“We’ve worked with internationally-recognised studio Sici Design on the penthouse interiors, with a focus on ensuring it isn’t luxury for luxury’s sake. Every element has been thoughtfully designed to enhance quality of life for those who call it home,” Sakha said.

“The views are the hero of virtually every space, but we’ve given equal attention to the fittings and finishes, so every detail exudes elegance and refinement.”

Sici Design Founder and Director Maria Papadopoulos said the extensive views became an integral part of the interior design rather than simply something the residence was designed around.

“The views weren't something we designed around, they became part of the design itself, with the true luxury of La Mer in its feeling of peace, calm and wellbeing,” Papadopoulos said.

“Luxury isn't defined by how something looks, but how it makes you feel, and we believe a luxurious home should be beautiful to live in, not stressful to maintain.”

The interiors combine Austral Dream Dolomite natural stone and travertine with timber flooring and a restrained coastal palette.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=95606 project_image_fid=378734]

Designed by Plus Studio, La Mer is one of the more boutique additions to the rapidly changing Main Beach apartment market.

The tower comprises just 24 full-floor, three-bedroom plus multipurpose room apartments below the two-level penthouse, giving the project a considerably lower density than many of the larger towers being developed across the Gold Coast.

Residents will have access to a pool and spa, gym, sauna, barbecue facilities, private sun lounges, yoga lawn and outdoor beach shower.

The penthouse has been released as part of the final collection of residences at La Mer, with remaining apartments priced from $4.3 million.

Construction is expected to complete later this year, with a fully furnished display apartment now open on level four.

ODUS releases $18 million penthouse crowning La Mer Main Beach

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/far-east-consortium">Far East Consortium</a> is preparing to commence construction on <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/640-bourke-street-melbourne-640-bourke-street-melbourne-vic-3000">640 Bourke Street</a> this October, marking the next milestone for the Melbourne CBD development and its higher-end Eliza Collection.

Spanning levels 44 to 68 of the 68-storey <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/rothelowman">Rothelowman</a>-designed tower, the Eliza Collection has been conceived as a lower-density offering within the broader development, with only five apartments on each floor, dedicated lift access and a collection of resident spaces reserved exclusively for Eliza Collection residents.

The Eliza Collection forms part of Far East Consortium's broader move toward larger-format residences at 640 Bourke Street, where the number of apartments was reduced from earlier plans as apartment sizes increased.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=509 project_image_fid=365685]

"What it's meant for 640 Bourke is we've actually reduced the number of apartments. We've increased the overall size of the apartments. We don't have any studios in here, and what that does for a project is it elevates it," Far East Consortium Director of Sales and Marketing Lauren Sheldon said.

Rothelowman Associate Jun Chang said the design process provided an opportunity to create more generous floorplans.

"We were given the opportunity to be more generous. The apartments became bigger and squarer than any other apartments which had been designed in the CBD before that."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=509 project_image_fid=368869]

That thinking carries through to the Eliza Collection, where the residences have been designed around the space and functionality associated with a larger home, but positioned high above the centre of Melbourne.

Kitchens are equipped with Gaggenau appliances, a butler's pantry, temperature-controlled wine cabinet and sculptural pendant lighting, while engineered timber flooring, stone and porcelain finishes and custom cabinetry feature throughout the broader interiors.

Privacy and security are another point of distinction. Eliza Collection residents have dedicated lift access, while 640 Bourke Street will provide concierge services and secure resident parking. Short-stay accommodation, including Airbnb, will not be permitted within the development.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=509 project_image_fid=365689]

Eliza Collection residents will also have exclusive access to selected amenity spaces across levels one and three of the restored Eliza Tinsley building. These include the Salon with grand piano, an art therapy room, private dining rooms and treatment rooms.

They sit within more than 3,000 sqm of amenity planned across 640 Bourke Street, alongside facilities including a pool, gym, whisky lounge and further social and wellness spaces.

The Eliza Tinsley building itself is central to the wider project's identity. Rather than treating the existing Eliza Tinsley façade as a separate element, Rothelowman used it as a starting point for the architecture of the new tower, with the historic building to accommodate the project's gallery and lobby.

"It's a significant asset and wants to be celebrated and experienced by all residents every single time they go in and out of the building," Rothelowman Principal Stuart Marsland said.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=509 project_image_fid=368872]

The tower will rise behind the retained heritage building at 640 Bourke Street, placing residents within walking distance of Southern Cross Station, Flagstaff Gardens, Queen Victoria Market and the Docklands waterfront.

With construction scheduled to begin in October, Far East Consortium has established an onsite display gallery at 640 Bourke Street, including fully built apartments that allow the project's layouts, materials and finishes to be inspected at full scale.

A fully built Eliza Collection apartment is also available to view at the display suite by appointment ahead of the planned October construction commencement.

Eligible purchasers who buy before construction commences can secure the full available off-the-plan stamp duty savings, subject to eligibility and applicable conditions.

Gold Coast Apartments

After a number of back-to-back sell outs up and down the Gold Coast, Marquee Development Partners has been given the greenlight for their next project.

The luxury tower, dubbed Monterey, on one of the last remaining Kirra beachfront sites at 4-6 Musgrave Street, will have 35 apartments across its 14 levels, with just high-end three and four-bedrooms on offer.

It&#39;s been designed by the Brisbane-based Ellivo Architects, and will replace an ageing apartment block of 15 which has been on the 1,163 sqm&nbsp;site for over five decades.

It will be Marquee&#39;s 10th project on the Gold Coast in the last four years.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112210 project_image_fid=198836]

Most recently Marquee secured sell-outs at SOL Kirra Beach, Palm Beach Residences and Northshore, both&nbsp;at Palm Beach, and Cannes Waterfront, One Cannes and Shoreline, all three located between Broadbeach and&nbsp;Surfers Paradise.

Marquee has spent the past two years amalgamating the Kirra site through individual negotiations with 15 apartment owners.

&ldquo;We believe this is the best site available in Kirra today,&rdquo;&nbsp;Marquee Development Partners&rsquo; sales manager Azura Griffen&nbsp;said.

&ldquo;No other remaining site offers this much beach frontage, so it&rsquo;s quite unique and well worth the significant effort from our end to acquire the property.&rdquo;

The site is located along the Kirra beachfront and has around&nbsp;45 metres of north-facing beach frontage, with an aspect that captures vistas of the Gold Coast coastline from north to south.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112210 project_image_fid=198839]

&ldquo;With all apartments enjoying a north-facing aspect, residents will enjoy vistas that capture sunrises over Snapper Rocks and sunsets behind the Gold Coast skyline,&rdquo; Griffin added.

&ldquo;The extra-wide frontage has allowed us to design every apartment with kitchens, living spaces and master bedrooms all facing the beach, providing a deep connection between the interiors and the stunning panoramas that surround.

&ldquo;All this with the natural beauty of Kirra Beach and its world-class surf breaks at your door. Kirra today offers even more with an emerging caf&eacute;, restaurant and entertainment scene that has made this southern Gold Coast gem one of the most sought-after lifestyle destinations for residential buyers over the past 12 months.&rdquo;

Marquee has already started receiving a number of expressions of interest from potential buyers ahead of the official launch of Monterey Kirra Beach in April.

&ldquo;Buyers have been closely monitoring our progress with this project, several of which are familiar with the high quality marquee developments and how quickly they have been selling out.

&ldquo;Monterey is an exceptional site and we&rsquo;ve crafted an equally exceptional development to do it justice, and the market is responding well to our vision.&rdquo;

There will be 15 one-beds, with 61 sqm of internal space and 11 sqm of balconies, 62 two-beds, around half with multi-purpose rooms. They range from 101 sqm internal to 114 sqm internal, with outdoor space from 16 sqm to 23 sqm.

The largest apartments on offer, the three-beds, have 135 sqm of internal space and 23 sqm external.&nbsp;

There are just two sub-penthouses on level 19, and two penthouses on level 20, each with 328 sqm of space and 110 terraces. The penthouses have exclusive access to their own private roof terraces with their own plunge pools, outdoor kitchens and fire pit area.

<a href="/new-apartments/1134-gold-coast-highway-palm-beach-qld-4221">To be notified when the project reaches sales, enquire here.</a>

There&#39;s over 637 sqm of amenity on the level two podium, including a pool with wet deck and a pool terrace, a gym, day beds, yoga deck and a sauna and a steam room.

The town planning report by Zone Planning Group noted that the development&nbsp;includes the Short-Term Accommodation land use to provide the unit owners greater flexibility in the future use of each apartment.

Currently there&#39;s&nbsp;a two-level older commercial building on&nbsp;the 1,643 sqm site. It sits in the mixed-use area of Palm Beach. The height of the tower will see it capture ocean views, given buildings to the east of the Gold Coast Highway have an eight-level development limit.

&quot;The proposal delivers a high-quality design outcome with deep recesses and projections and high quality materials to break up the extent of building mass and positively respond to the surrounding locality,&quot; the report noted.

Across the road, at 6 Palm Avenue, there&#39;s approval for an eight-level project.

Coolangatta&#39;s busy beachfront&nbsp;is set for another apartment development.&nbsp;

It&#39;s a second Coolangatta project filed by John Kearney, Managing Director at the construction firm Greyburn and a director at Alvey. He&#39;s&nbsp;submitted plans for an eight-level development&nbsp;at 30 Garrick Street, on the corner of Garrick and the dress circle Musgrave Street.

There will be just 40 apartments, all two-bedders,&nbsp;with five different configurations on offer. One of the two-bed configurations also has a study.&nbsp;

BDA Architecture, who handled the design, noted in their submission to the Gold Coast City Council that the&nbsp;40 units will service a wide sector of the market from downsizers wishing to stay within proximity to their existing detached dwellings to young couples seeking proximity to the beach and employment.

Internal areas of the apartments will range from 82 sqm to 100 sqm, with the total area&#39;s including balconies ranging from 91 sqm to 113 sqm.

Level eight will home the rooftop amenity, with a swimming pool and communal barbecue area.

BDA said the&nbsp;proposed architecture is a contemporary coastal and local vernacular.

&quot;It will offer a layered façade of brick, screening, projections and landscaping that will knit locality together.&quot;

There will be just five apartments per floor.

&quot;An exceptionally located site that provides a unique setting for a medium density residential complex to be set within close proximity to the significant amenity of the Coolangatta centre and the recreational amenity afforded to the Coolangatta beaches,&quot; BDA continued.

<a href="/new-apartments/rhythm-kirra-hill-30-garrick-street-coolangatta-qld-4225"><img alt="" height="858" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/screen_shot_2022-03-03_at_9.01.17_am.png" width="1210" /></a>

BDA said the proposal &quot;knits Garrick and Musgrave Street.&quot;

&quot;The proposal will assist in negotiating a sensitive transition from the centre zone uses and scale of Musgrave Street to the residential spaces of Garrick Street.&quot;

&quot;The concept is to provide a variety of two-bedroom dwellings that mix between smaller affordable floor plans and larger spacious lifestyle layouts.&quot;

In December Greyburn lodged their first Coolangatta project&nbsp;at 39-41 McLean Street, which again will provide&nbsp;more affordable stock than what&#39;s currently on offer in the area.

<a href="/new-apartments/39-41-mclean-street-coolangatta"><img alt="" height="735" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/39_mclean_street_coolangatta_2_0.jpg" width="1200" /></a>

Also designed by BDA Architecture, the&nbsp;19-level building will have&nbsp;63 apartments, made up of 28 two-beds, starting from 85 sqm of internal space, and 35 three-bedroom apartments which start from 110 sqm.

It sits next door to the old Jazzland Dance Palais which Melbourne developer&nbsp;BeckDev are seeking to turn in to apartments.

Crowning the new McLean Street project will be a rooftop pool, gym, lounge and kitchen area, and indoor and outdoor dining spaces. The development will be anchored at street-level by a cafe.

BDA Architecture noted the 40 units will service a wide sector of the market from downsizers wishing to stay within proximity to their existing detached dwellings to young couples seeking proximity to the beach and employment



Greyburn files for second Coolangatta apartment project

Infinity, the Bassar Construction Group-developed apartment tower in the heart of Broadbeach, is the&nbsp;latest luxury project to sell out in the booming Gold Coast suburb.

The 62-apartment project at 33 Surf Parade was Bassar&#39;s first on the Gold Coast, having previously developed across New South Wales, Melbourne and Canberra.

There&#39;s been an immediate success for buyers, nearly a year before construction is estimated to conclude.

Leo Sarris, who heads up Bassar alongside Simon Bassil, said the project had held its own despite the many challenges thrown at them over the past two years.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=9748 project_image_fid=191772]

&quot;We faced unprecedented challenges when COVID first hit, but once the market understood that we were committed to building Infinity they supported us,&quot; Sarris said.

The majority of sales happened within the first six months of COVID when the world was locking down buy we stayed the course, there was no turning back for us,&quot; Sarris added.

Kollosche New Projects agent Andrew Ramsey, who secured the final sale, a $4,478,000, full-floor apartment to a Melbourne-buyer, said buyer success has been immediate.

&quot;The people who took advantage of Infinity early have done extremely&nbsp;well,&quot; Ramsey said.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=9748 project_image_fid=191773]

&quot;The value&nbsp;of those apartments has increased considerably - up to 40 per cent - but none are willing to sell because there isn&#39;t anything comparable to buy.

&quot;Even if you could find it, you&#39;d be waiting another two years for newer projects coming to market to reach this stage.&quot;

Hutchinson Builders are currently constructing the 39-level,&nbsp;residential-only building, complete with a 20-metre pool, gymnasium, function room and cafe.

Designed by Gold Coast architects BDA Group, Infinity sits within a short walk of the beach, the Star Casino, Pacific Fair Shopping Centre and Broadbeach Light Rail station.

The 62-apartment project at 33 Surf Parade was Bassar's first on the Gold Coast, having previously developed across New South Wales, Melbourne and Canberra.

Bassar Construction Group sell out Infinity, Broadbeach apartments

The question on everyone looking at the Gold Coast of​f the plan apartment market&nbsp;is &quot;is the growth sustainable?&quot;

Demand has far outstripped supply over the last year or so, with migration to the Sunshine State at record highs following the exodus from the southern states, who are now seeking a more relaxed lifestyle.

Supply won&#39;t be as much of an issue in 2022, with two huge Surfers Paradise projects, Tim Gurner&#39;s La Pelago, and SPG Land&#39;s Paradiso Place, combined producing around 1,700 apartments.

And there&#39;s plenty further opportunity for development up and down the Coast, with&nbsp;savvy apartment owners are getting more bang for their buck when they team up and sell their apartments to a developer, who is just after the most prized asset in the area at the moment, land.

&ldquo;Vendors can achieve a 15-20 per cent increase in the market value of their apartment by selling alongside their neighbours and maximising the development potential of their property,&rdquo; says GV Property Group&rsquo;s Luke Reaby.

GV Property Group, who amalgamate sites for developers, has just listed a site which will be one of the most in demand sites in 2022.

The prime site, an amalgamation of&nbsp;2791 Gold Coast Highway and 37 Armrick Avenue in Broadbeach, will give a developer 2,235 sqm to play with.

<img alt="" height="674" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/screen_shot_2022-02-25_at_1.52.45_pm.png" width="783" />

Pezet Matheson Director Todd Matheson says the site will lend itself to a tower with one, two and three-bedroom apartments, as well as rooftop amenity allowing the residents of the lower levels still to have access to the extensive views.&nbsp;

The site, which comes with an&nbsp;indicative&nbsp;architectural scheme from the Melbourne-based architecture firm Cera Stribley, already has some big developers circling.

<img alt="" height="378" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/screen_shot_2022-03-18_at_9.18.18_am.png" width="529" />

&quot;Developers are always keen on seeing what architects have put together for a site pre-purchase,&quot;&nbsp;Reaby says.

&quot;It gives them that level of confidence as to what can go on the site.&quot;

GVPG also has a site for sale down at Palm Beach, on the sought-after beachside of the Gold Coast Highway.

They&#39;ve had six owners of a four-level building band together to sell, with the 825 sqm site at 1177 Gold Coast Highway already attracting a lot of attention.

<img alt="" height="584" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/screen_shot_2022-02-25_at_1.53.12_pm.png" width="846" />

The group initially listed the property with the intention of running an off-market campaign through its&nbsp;local, interstate and international developer network.

&ldquo;After the volume of interest we received through our off-market discussions, we decided we&rsquo;d achieve the best outcome for our vendors by bringing the listing to the public,&rdquo; Reaby said.

&quot;The property is likely to appeal to a range of developers, wanting to capitalize on its the prime location and potential views on offer, as well as the the nine-storey limit of the zone.&quot;

Gold Coast apartment development site demand running in to 2022

The longstanding ACT and Gold Coast apartment developer, Morris Property Group, is kicking off its solid 2022 pipeline of new projects.

The first is in Broadbeach, where Morris has big plans this year. They&#39;ve just lodged a development application to the Gold Coast City Council for Crest Broadbeach, a 37-level tower with 157 apartments at 13-15 Armrick Avenue, designed&nbsp;by the Canberra architecture firm Guida Moseley Brown.

The two and three-bedroom apartments start from level five, above the three podium levels and level four amenity.

The extensive amenity, wrapped in terraces with seating and dining areas, features a pool, gym, lounge space, a private barbecue and dining space which can be hired, and a communal barbecue area.

<a href="/new-apartments/crest-broadbeach-13-armrick-avenue-broadbeach"><img alt="" height="614" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/screen_shot_2022-02-22_at_2.43.29_pm.png" width="1096" /></a>

Also part of the level is extensive co-working space, with a number of single desk pods, office spaces, and boardroom-style rooms.

There will be a maximum of&nbsp;five apartments per floor, with just three three-bedroom apartments per level on the higher floors.&nbsp;

Morris secured the two side by side Armrick Avenue sites last year, the two 647 sqm blocks totalling&nbsp;1294 sqm.

<a href="/new-apartments/crest-broadbeach-13-armrick-avenue-broadbeach"><img alt="" height="612" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/screen_shot_2022-02-22_at_2.43.33_pm.png" width="854" /></a>

The development is next door to the soon-to-be-launched tower by Turrisi Properties. Smaller at 22 levels, the tower designed by Rothelowman will have 81 two and three-bedroom apartments.

Crest Broadbeach will MPG&#39;s eighth development in the exclusive suburb, after successfully selling out Opus, Koko and Qube.

The team are preparing to lodge development applications for a number of Broadbeach sites in 2022, including one on the dress circle Australia Avenue, just 200 metres to the beach.

<a href="/new-apartments/crest-broadbeach-13-armrick-avenue-broadbeach"><img alt="" height="620" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/screen_shot_2022-02-22_at_2.43.25_pm.png" width="1102" /></a>

MPG also recently acquired a site in Burleigh Heads,&nbsp;a huge 2,024 sqm double block at 1873-1875 Gold Coast Highway.

They are planning&nbsp;a project comprising predominantly two-bedroom,&nbsp;two-bathroom&nbsp;apartments to provide housing more affordable to a broader section of the community.

&quot;Burleigh Heads is a great lifestyle location and represents the relaxed Gold Coast way of life. 1873-1875 Gold Coast Highway is an amazing opportunity to provide more buyers with the opportunity to enjoy the Burleigh life,&quot;&nbsp;Barry Morris said.

&nbsp;

MPG has just lodged a development application for Crest Broadbeach, a 37-level tower with 157 apartments at 13-15 Armrick Avenue designed by the Canberra architecture firm Guida Moseley Brown.



Morris Property Group set for Crest Broadbeach apartments

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.

Is this the best rooftop amenity in Surfers Paradise?

La Pelago, The Ferny Avenue, Surfers Paradise mega development by the Melbourne-based developer GURNERTM, has received development approval from the Gold Coast City Council.

The application for the $1.75 billion project, lodged in August, will see four towers built across a 11,000&nbsp;sqm plus block at 108&nbsp;Ferny Ave, which GURNER acquired&nbsp;following the high profile collapse of the developer Ralan, who had planned two towers on the site.

Over 900 residences have been signed off on, as well as over 200 hotel suites which will be part of the mixed-use central tower, the tallest tower which will rise up to 60 levels.

GURNERTM Founder and Managing Director, Tim Gurner, said La Pelago will be the culmination of all of their work over the past 15 years.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108339 project_image_fid=200436]

"We have been working tirelessly, researching all over the world, to ensure we raise the bar and that we can offer something beyond what has previously been possible," Gurner said.

“We have looked to the world’s best private islands to emulate a true 7-star resort-style precinct and I can speak from the heart when I say there is nothing else like it on the Gold Coast.

“Everything from the incredible resort-style amenities and ‘private island’ experience, through to the retail precinct, interiors and private zones, have been crafted with luxury in mind."

Designed by longstanding collaborator Warren and Mahoney, La Pelago centres on a private island theme whereby each of the project’s four towers is surrounded by a&nbsp;waterway lagoon, tropical landscaping and poolside water retreats, in addition to food and beverage tenancies, retail and open space.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108339 project_image_fid=200438]

The proposal also includes two levels plus one mezzanine level of basement, three storeys of a consolidated podium and 1,257 car spaces – recreation facilities, open areas and green spaces sit atop the podium level, with additional indoor communal recreation areas throughout the podium and towers for residents and guests.

Mid-2022 will see an initial VIP launch to GURNERTM's client database, which Gurner expects to see significant interest of the first release, before commencing a wider project launch later in the year.

“We have already been absolutely overrun with enquiries through our website for this landmark project – I think people know this is going to be something incredible that will really push the boundaries," Gurner added.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108339 project_image_fid=200437]

“Budds Beach is a really special part of the Gold Coast and we are excited to be pioneering a game-changing development that will bring this pocket of coastline to life with a world- leading mixed-use regeneration precinct.

“We have some amazing things to announce in the coming months, and we can’t wait to launch this incredible product."

GURNERTM recently announced that ICON Construction had been appointed as builder on the 60 plus storey tower, with an estimated build price of $350 million. Works are expected to commence on the site in Q3 2022, and the first tower’s build estimated to take 40 months to complete.

At A Glance: 
- Tower 1: 150 residences across 30 storeys 
- Tower 2: 110 residences across 25 storeys 
- Tower 3: 430 residences and 200 hotel suites across up to 60 levels 
- Tower 4: 250 plus residences across 34 storeys

Gurner gets sign off for La Pelago, Surfers Paradise mega-development

The latest apartment development application to the Gold Coast City Council&#39;s desk has been designed by the local architecture firm BDA with inspiration taken from modern racing yachts with foiled keels.

A Sydney-based development has lodged plans for a 15-level apartment project at&nbsp;2919 Gold Coast Highway, Surfers Paradise, which will home just 35 apartments.

The majority of those will be three-bedroom apartments, with a handful of two-bedroom apartments located on the lower levels.

In their design statement, BDA noted that the towers form is a product of the changing floor plates, with the overall mass of the building reducing, the higher it gets.

<a href="/new-apartments/2917-2919-gold-coast-highway-surfers-paradise-qld-4217">To track this project through to sales, enquire here.</a>

&quot;This in turn creates an interesting, slender tower and will create visual interest from the surrounding context,&quot; the architecture firm suggested.

There will be three apartments per floor on the lower levels, and two per floor on the upper levels.

The rooftop homes the communal recreation facilities, which include&nbsp;an outdoor BBQ and dining area, residents lounge, lap pool, gym and lounging&nbsp;areas.

&quot;All apartments feature large, north facing balconies that act as outdoor rooms to encourage indoor/outdoor interaction,&quot; BDA say.

A small cafe will sit on the ground level, with exposure to the busy Gold Coast Highway to the west.

<a href="/new-apartments/2917-2919-gold-coast-highway-surfers-paradise-qld-4217"><img alt="" height="535" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/screen_shot_2022-02-11_at_9.11.21_am.png" width="958" /></a>

The vacant 827 sqm of land sits across the street from the well known D&#39;Arcy Arms Irish Pub, which itself was listed as a development site late last year.&nbsp;&nbsp;

<a href="/new-apartments/2917-2919-gold-coast-highway-surfers-paradise-qld-4217">To track this project through to sales, enquire here.</a>

The Gold Coast Highway, which runs all the way down the Gold Coast from Mermaid Beach to Bilinga with apartment projects on both the beach side and the west side, has been busy in recent months.

Tim&nbsp;Gurner, alongside financier MaxCap Group, secured&nbsp;1929 Gold Coast Highway in&nbsp;Burleigh Heads, <a href="/news/qld/gurner-secures-burleigh-heads-apartment-development-site-plans-22-level-luxury-tower">with plans to create a 22-level luxury tower</a>.&nbsp;

The $120 million project, which will see 80 apartments created and high end amenity located on the rooftop, will be designed by&nbsp;Gurner&#39;s go-to architect, Warren &amp; Mahoney, who handles all of&nbsp;Gurner&#39;s projects both in Melbourne and on the Gold Coast.

Just up the road, the&nbsp;innovative developer FORME is also set to produce another high quality project,&nbsp;having secured the site behind their Burleigh Heads apartment project, Sea.

BDA noted that the towers form is a product of the changing floor plates, with the overall mass of the building reducing, the higher it gets.



New Surfers Paradise apartment tower designed inspired by yachts

Rarely does a new adjective need to be created to define a project.

But such is the calibre of what the South East Queensland developer&nbsp;Spyre Group is offering at their latest Burleigh Heads apartment development, Glasshouse, the term &quot;hyper-luxe&quot; has been coined, and the boutique project of just three apartments certainly warrants the tag line.

No developer has gone as far as producing something quite as special as Glasshouse, which when completed will no doubt be the most expensive apartment project&nbsp;across the whole of the Gold Coast.

The two-level penthouse, with one of the most impressive private rooftops arguably in the country, could be the first Queensland apartment ever to&nbsp;break through the $20 million mark.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=104773 project_image_fid=189487]

The project, on the dress circle Goodwin Terrace in Burleigh Heads, which&nbsp;has been one of the most in demand apartment markets on the Gold Coast in the last 18 months, has been designed in collaboration with Bureau^proberts, whose brief from Spyre was simple yet impactful: &quot;Create the impossible.&quot;

&quot;This remarkable stretch of beachfront gave us astonishing design possibilities,&quot; Bureau^proberts Director Terry McQuillan said.

&quot;We knew we needed an architectural response that captured and amplified the natural qualities of this extraordinary place&mdash;something that was as distinctive and rare as the site itself. And we&rsquo;ve done that. We&rsquo;ve brought something stridently new to Burleigh Heads.&quot;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=104773 project_image_fid=189485]

Spyre Group Director Andrew Malouf says every element of Glasshouse is an impossible feat.

&quot;As a development firm committed to continued excellence and evolution, Glasshouse Burleigh presented Spyre Group with the opportunity to leave a permanent mark on not only the street scape of Goodwin Terrace, but to forever change boutique property development in the South East,&quot; Malouf said.

&quot;For Spyre Group, Glasshouse is the culmination of tireless years spent dedicated to the importance of place. The position of this impossible project is intrinsic in what makes it one completely beyond compare.

&quot;Three glass homes positioned perfectly on a land parcel that holds the most acclaimed beachfront status in Queensland.&quot;

Glasshouse comprises three four-bedroom apartments, targeting the high-end owner-occupier or holiday maker who doesn&#39;t want the maintenance of a grand home.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=104773 project_image_fid=188873]

Spyre designed the apartments with that in mind, offering around 300&nbsp;sqm of indoor and outdoor living space for the first and second level apartments, with the sprawling penthouse offering over 970 sqm of internal and external living area.

Each apartment has been designed to orientate the living spaces to the east, capturing the never-to-be-built-out views across the ocean. The entertaining starts from the kitchen, where there&#39;s the most impressive island bench, crafted out of natural materials.

Every fixture and finish has been hand selected by a leading design team focussed on the delivery of the art piece that is Glasshouse. Leading partners such as Gessi Tapware, Porcelanosa tiles, Wolf Appliances, and custom handblown lights by SOKTAS culminate to deliver the residences.
