<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/sunland-group">Sunland Group</a> has officially lodged plans for its first Gold Coast apartment project since the departure of the Abedian family from the company three years ago, unveiling a new high-rise proposal for a prominent Broadbeach corner site on Old Burleigh Road.

The application was submitted by an entity directed by Tom Jamieson, stepson of longtime Sunland leader Soheil Abedian, and Riaz Rezvanipour, brother-in-law of Sahba Abedian, Soheil’s son.

Sunland acquired the 1,283 sqm site on the corner of Old Burleigh Road and Armrick Avenue for $9.5 million late last year and is now seeking approval for a <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/99-101-old-burleigh-road-broadbeach-qld-4218">42-storey tower with 81 apartments</a>.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Gold Coast Apartments

The small Gold Coast suburb Currumbin is set for a rare new apartment development.

Arena Property Group, who are developing LANA in Bilinga, has been given the green light to create Kora, a boutique project of just seven apartments designed by Plus Architecture at 798-800 Pacific Parade.

Located on Currumbin’s famed beachside stretch, the four-storey development will be the first major multi-residential addition to the coastal suburb in a number of years, as well as Plus Architecture’s first project in the area.

Arena's Development Manager Ray Bachir said Kora's “quietly confident” design sets a new standard for architecture on Currumbin’s in-demand beach-side strip.

“When your objective is to make a visual impact without compromising the natural integrity of a site it all comes down to excellent design solutions, which Plus Architecture has certainly achieved in this project,” Bachir said.

“Kora is a new product for the area that will appeal to a broad demographic – it’s a great design that offers the iconic Gold Coast lifestyle of suburbs like Palm Beach, while still respecting the unique character and history of Currumbin.”

Plus Architecture Principal Chrisney Formosa said the overall design approach for Kora is organic and uplifting, complementing Currumbin’s picturesque beachside character and its nearby natural landmarks of Currumbin Hills and Elephant Rock.

“Designed with sensitivity to the site’s location and the Currumbin lifestyle, our objective was to design a luxury residential dwelling that seamlessly assimilates with the local built environment,” Formosa said.

“A selection of nature-inspired tones and textures emphasise Kora’s abundant natural light and sweeping panoramic views. These elements contribute to an elevated quality of life for residents and demonstrate our detail-oriented response to subtropical design ideals.”

Kora’s external design scheme features a mix of concrete, tinted glazing, bronze and glass balustrading, with the façade created from timber-look battens.

Plus Architecture has also paid homage to traditional ‘timber and tin’ beach shacks in the design, which grows out from a central timber spine and tapers off in a floating edge following an organic natural form.

All seven residences feature a unique level of amenity including generous internal living space and expansive oceanside balconies which benefit from ocean views. The complex itself features a communal rooftop area, wellness centre, high-quality landscaping and an abundance of car parking spaces. Arena Property Group’s

Arena Property Group greenlit for Plus Architecture-designed Currumbin apartments

Azzura Investments are taking the master plan for its $3 billion Imperial Square mega development at Southport to the next stage, lodging a development application for a 40-level mixed-use tower that will include an exclusive vertical village for retirees.

Plans for the $500 million Monarch Place come on the heels of the first stage, the 18-level Regal Residences, which is currently under construction on the&nbsp;1.4 hectare Imperial Square site on the corner of Ferry Road and Meron Street.

Monarch Place will deliver a total of 223 premium apartments, with 140 of these residences designated for an exclusive vertical retirement village for occupants over 65.

The new tower, designed by Kris Kowalski Architects, features retail and commercial tenancies on the ground level and first floor and a range of strata-titled specialist medical suites on level two.

Azzura CEO Robert Badalotti said the success of Regal Residences allowed the group to bring the next stage of Imperial Square to the market, amid strong inquiries for apartments across the masterplanned site.&nbsp;

“We are thrilled to be introducing a new style of residences for the over-65 market at Monarch Place that will take downsizing to a completely new level in the heart of Southport," Badalotti said.

<img alt="Render of Monarch Place" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="c352243f-888a-4f2c-aeae-c1399c8b328c" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Monarch%20Place%20-%20Cam_01_Opt.jpg?VersionId=CNVqXB.zJ7KmcD79LijRh09_.5MWHUcl" />Render of the proposed Monarch Place. Image supplied.&nbsp;

Apartments in Monarch Place will offer an extensive array of layouts, from two-bedroom apartments to two-bedrooms plus study, three- and four-bedroom luxury apartments.

While 140 apartments in these configurations will be dedicated to the vertical retirement village, Monarch Place will also offer 83 freehold apartments that will offer some of the most spacious living areas available in the Southport market.

The freehold residences will have separate lift access and resident amenities.

Monarch Place will release an exclusive selection of three-bedroom and four-bedroom apartments, plus eight four-bedroom skyhomes, each with a plunge pool and spa.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=29350 project_image_fid=154912]

Topping off the development will be two penthouses featuring their own rooftop infinity pools.

The vertical retirees’ village will deliver an array of amenities for residents on level five, including a ballroom, dining, gymnasium, sauna, heated indoor pool and spa, a hairdressing salon and beauty parlour, cinema, golf simulator, art and craft studio, library, and resident workshop.

Residents will also have access to a dedicated music room, games and entertainment rooms, consulting rooms, boardroom, plus a commercial-grade kitchen and dining area with a bar and coffee lounge.

There will also be a community garden on level six.

“We’ve combined the best of Regal Residences with the very latest designs in Monarch Place, and we have created a large array of activities and high quality amenities for occupants enjoy their retirement years,” Badalotti added.

“Our second tower will give residents the ideal blend of space and serenity, with our design team especially focused on those smaller details that will allow residents to live their way at Monarch Place.” 
 
All residents of Monarch Place will have access to the level six podium which will house a hotel-tavern and restaurants, and barbecue facilities alongside an outdoor ‘kabana lagoon’ pool.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=29350 project_image_fid=154910]

“Amid all this luxury we are creating a unique lifestyle that blends an array of lifestyle amenities, medical, shopping, restaurants and bars to create the carefree lifestyle that downsizers are looking for."

Located within Southport’s designated Priority Development Area, Imperial Square comprises four stages that in future will include the 68-level Imperial Tower and The Majesty, which will rise 108 levels and become Australia’s tallest residential tower.

Imperial Square will eventually deliver around 1,600 dwellings and up to 40,000 sqm of commercial and retail space designed to activate the site into a vibrant community offering a range of services and amenities at the doorstep for residents of the Imperial Square community.

Azzura Plans to officially launch Monarch Place to the market in late May this year with construction expected to start in late 2023. The second stage of the development is scheduled to welcome its first residents in 2025.

Paul Gedoun's S&amp;S Group have taken the vibe of the suburb and put that into their latest residential development, Esprit, which adds a new addition to the skyline.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=102921 project_image_fid=172174]

Not your typical high-rise apartment complex. Crowning Esprit is Club Esprit, a unique residential rooftop deck that's designed to promote wellbeing and self-care among its residents.&nbsp;

The centrepiece of Club Esprit is its 25 metre magnesium lap pool, which is surrounded by wet daybeds and poolside cabanas, where residents will be able to lounge by the pool, soak up the sun and take in views of the coastline.

There are also multiple barbecue areas, which gives residents the ability to dine alfresco.

The Rochester Broadbeach officially launches to market

Apartment supply in Palm Beach, one of the Gold Coast's most in demand areas during the COVID-19 pandemic, is starting to look a little healthier, in the wake of a number of project launches and development approvals.

The latest to be approved is Ripple Palm Beach, the boutique 19-apartment development by luxury home builder turned multi-res developer GRAYA.

Plus Architecture designed the nine level building, noting in their design statement that they took&nbsp;inspiration from the&nbsp;rhythmic dance of the ocean below, with the facade set to emulate the flow and curves of waves.&nbsp;

A mix of two, three and four-bedroom apartments will be on offer, with each to benefit from their north-easterly orientation, taking advantage of views across the coastline.&nbsp;

Ripple will be crowned by two two-level penthouses, both with a rooftop terrace featuring a spa, fire pit, outdoor kitchen and dining area.&nbsp;

A suite of residential amenity will also be on offer across the ground floor, with a sauna, barbecue area and resort-style pool penned for the area.&nbsp;

They will first be launching Kloud to the market, their 20-apartment project on the dress circle Jefferson Lane. That will have a mix of two, three and four-bedroom apartments across 10 levels.

They're just waiting for development approval for Kloud before launching later this year.

There's already been significant interest in the two projects before they've launched, the majority from Brisbane and locals. There's been a number of buyers enquire who have purchased in some of Graya's previous projects in Brisbane.

Kloud and Ripple are set to join the luxury ranks alongside STEER's Cote Palm Beach project, which will have 17 half-floor apartments, each with three-bedrooms, three-bathrooms, and two parking spaces.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112548 project_image_fid=205283]

DKO studio director Kai Chua says the design of each apartment, balances the need for shelter and privacy whilst opening to the ocean and magnificent views. It offers all the wonders of modern coastal living with the warm, intimate embrace of home.

Demolition is currently underway on the Thirteenth Avenue project, with construction expected to start in the coming months.

Palm Beach was starved of stock when COVID-19 first hit, with Cabana Palm Beach, The Tally, The Monroe, and Hemingway, among a number to sell out in double-quick time.

There's been a large need for more affordable stock, given the forecasted population growth in Palm Beach is expected to boom over the next decade.

The most recent project launch in Palm Beach is Elevaire, which has prices starting from $715,000. Enquiry has been prominent from both Brisbane and Victoria.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112941 project_image_fid=210515]

All the $695,000 one-bed apartments have been taken. The two-bedroom apartments start from $950,000, and three-bedrooms from $1.495 million.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=107136 project_image_fid=202031]

Seaclusion has been optimised for the coastal lifestyle by BDA, with a range of exclusive residents-only amenities including beach showers and sand washdown areas on the ground floor and a rooftop recreation space complete with a pool, day beds and barbecue area offering panoramic oceanfront views.

Scarcely does a boutique apartment development come along in Surfers Paradise, where it's much more common to be high in the sky.

But the latest development plans lodged for 30 Sunset Boulevarde, on the western side of Ferny Ave and near the Nerang River, will offer buyers an opportunity for a lower density product&nbsp;

The eight-level apartment block, which will take in views of the water, the HOTA precinct, and Surfers Paradise skyline, will have six high-end apartments designed by architecture firm BDA.

<img alt="Sunset Boulevarde" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="ab9ed6a9-e521-4a85-b5ef-54b42bdb0916" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202023-02-22%20at%203.36.07%20pm.png?VersionId=cl4cJLALpDZW9QN9iHoN0Xlpn9tWOGkE" />

"The architecture of the proposed development is expressive and dynamic, with gently curved upstands and a textured and timeless material palette of white and grey concrete, timber screening and stone cladding," BDA said in their design statement for the project.&nbsp;

The 615 sqm site is located in a high-density development zone which means the architects had the freedom to create a building that maximises on the use of available space.&nbsp;

The whole floor units are designed to cater to families, each with four bedrooms. They focus on natural ventilation and natural light, with each set to include large feature balconies that can be used as an outdoor living rooms, offering views of the Nerang River.

Residents will also benefit from a ground floor outdoor terrace space, with a pool, dining space, pool and sun lounges. A gym and sauna will also be incorporated within the space.&nbsp;

"The tower form rises out of a podium, showcasing elegant ribbons of fluted concrete, topped with glass balustrades and a cascading landscape," BDA noted.

"The use of fluted concrete and glass gives the building a unique identity, while the cascading landscape provides an element of natural beauty that enhances the street and river-facing facades.

"The textured ribbons continue as they turn the corner, tucking into the vertical blade walls that front neighbouring properties, creating a sense of continuity and symmetry, blending seamlessly with the surrounding environment."

The last apartment development approved on Sunset Boulevarde was in 2021 when a four-pack was approved. There was another in 2020.
