Malaysian developer <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/s-p-setia">SP Setia</a> is the latest to jump into St Leonards booming Transport Oriented Development precinct.

The developer, which has previously delivered Sapphire by the Gardens apartment development in Melbourne, identified the Atchison Street site in 2023. It filed a Scoping Report around 12 months ago, and now has revealed the designs for the new&nbsp;40-storey mixed-use tower.

The State Significant Development Application covers <a href="https://next-portal.urban.com.au/projects/14650/summary">20-22 Atchison Street</a>, a 1,374 sqm site positioned between St Leonards Station and the new Crows Nest Metro station.

Designed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/cox-architecture">COX Architecture</a>, the project would deliver 181 apartments, above a four-storey commercial podium, five basement levels, and new public domain works along Mitchell Street. The apartment mix comprises 35 one-bedroom apartments, 39 one-bedroom-plus-study apartments, 85 two-bedroom apartments, and 22 three-bedroom residences.

The proposal has been lodged as a shop-top housing development under the NSW Government’s TOD planning pathway, which allows increased density around key transport infrastructure. The site sits within the recently rezoned Crows Nest Accelerated TOD Precinct.

SP Setia acquired the Atchison Street site as part of its continued expansion into the Australian apartment market. In comments made to City &amp; Country (The Edge Malaysia) in 2023, SP Setia President and CEO Datuk Choong Kai Wai described the acquisition as “a strategic move” aligned with the group’s post-pandemic market recovery strategy.

“Our target for this exceptional development is local and overseas buyers, including first-home buyers, downsizers and investors,” Choong said.

The tower has been designed as a slender vertical form rising from a mixed-use podium, with COX Architecture positioning the development as a response to the evolving St Leonards and Crows Nest skyline.

“The purpose of the project is to facilitate the delivery of high-quality housing at a strategically located site and deliver a built tower outcome that is consistent with the desired future character of St Leonards and aligns with the TOD controls,” the design report stated.

The podium would incorporate retail uses fronting Atchison Street, commercial tenancies, landscaped communal areas, and pedestrian improvements along Mitchell Street. Vehicle access and loading would be consolidated via Atchison Lane.

Residents would have access to more than 665 sqm of communal indoor and outdoor spaces, while the development proposes 96 parking spaces across five basement levels.

The proposal also includes a commitment for 10 per cent of residential floor space to be allocated toward affordable housing through a monetary contribution.

COX said the tower form responds directly to the emerging high-density character of the precinct while seeking to maximise solar access, cross ventilation, and outlook from apartments.

“The building is orientated towards north,” the Apartment Design Guide compliance report noted, adding that the tower’s slim form was driven by the constrained inner-urban site dimensions.

The design also incorporates landscaped setbacks and communal open space at podium level, intended to soften the interface with surrounding streets and improve pedestrian amenity.

The project adds to a growing wave of redevelopment proposals reshaping St Leonards and Crows Nest following the opening of the Sydney Metro City line and the NSW Government’s push for higher-density housing around major transport nodes.

Last week Stockland filed plans just down the road. They want to build a <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/601-pacific-highway-st-leonards-nsw-2065">52-storey tower on Pacific Highway</a>.

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/urban-property-group">Urban Property Group</a> has revealed plans for a new mixed-use tower at 10 Dangar Street, Wickham, advancing a proposal that would reshape the southern gateway to Newcastle’s city centre with one of the city’s tallest residential buildings.

The State Significant Development proposal, now on exhibition, seeks approval for a <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/bowline-10-dangar-street-wickham-nsw-2293">43-storey tower</a> immediately adjacent to the Newcastle Interchange. The project would deliver around 200 apartments, including 42 affordable housing dwellings, alongside 99 co-living units, a 171-room hotel, retail space, and new public domain integrated through the site.

The scheme marks a significant escalation of plans previously approved for the site. Urban Property Group took over the prominent 2,904 sqm parcel, where excavation and demolition had already commenced under an earlier consent for a 14-storey mixed-use development.

<img alt="First look: Urban Property Group unveils Newcastle’s next supertower at Wickham interchange" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="58a96dd9-407f-4d20-86b4-94e4bfeef74b" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/wickham%20podium.png?VersionId=LGlf08pdFGAZDzvx_CXC4XakHNZRuEE0" />

Designed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/sjb-architects">SJB</a>, the tower has been conceived as a landmark transit-oriented development anchored to the Newcastle Interchange precinct. The proposal includes 245 build-to-sell apartments across a mix of one, two, and three-bedroom residences, as well as two penthouses. Fifteen apartments and one operational unit are earmarked for NDIS housing. The co-living component would add a further 99 units, while the podium would accommodate retail uses and hotel facilities.

SJB said the site presents “a valuable opportunity to anchor the precinct by setting the standard for design, active ground planes and character at the key southern gateway.”

The architecture responds directly to the site’s position beside major transport infrastructure and within one of Newcastle’s fastest-evolving urban renewal precincts. The tower form sits above a sculpted podium designed to frame new public spaces, including a through-site pedestrian link connecting Station Street to Hannell Street, landscaped plazas, and activated retail edges.

<img alt="First look: Urban Property Group unveils Newcastle’s next supertower at Wickham interchange" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="a7bd6ff0-f7db-4ce8-a6dc-ea56e72c6149" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/wickham%20lanne.png?VersionId=xzf39VADyhj7zBQY2I9fx9vI62u2tuSb" />

The design report describes the project as part of the broader transition of Wickham into “a vibrant, high-quality mixed-use urban precinct” that leverages proximity to the station, open space, and regional connectivity.

A detailed public art strategy has also been prepared for the development. The strategy positions the project as “a transit-oriented development of state significance at the gateway to Newcastle’s city centre” and outlines a series of integrated artworks responding to Newcastle’s industrial and transport heritage.

Creative Road’s curatorial framework for the project, titled Unveil, draws on “stratified surfaces, carved volumes, and light-filled apertures” while referencing Newcastle’s transformation from an industrial city into a contemporary education and technology hub.

<img alt="First look: Urban Property Group unveils Newcastle’s next supertower at Wickham interchange" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="77a882bb-14b1-4d28-99ff-9438e39508c0" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/wickham%20site.png?VersionId=cevgo_vN0eKPK78P8YcEu3mKPLkpFqE7" />

The proposal is being advanced through the NSW Housing Delivery Authority pathway after being declared State Significant Development in June 2025. The accompanying scoping report states the development aims to “maximise the site’s proximity to the Newcastle Interchange by delivering transit-oriented development” while increasing housing supply and affordable housing provision within the Newcastle LGA.

Urban Property Group’s plans align with the long-term strategic vision established under the Wickham Master Plan, which identified the interchange precinct as suitable for substantial uplift in height and density. The current proposal would significantly intensify that vision, positioning the tower among the tallest developments proposed for Newcastle.

The site sits immediately north of the Newcastle Interchange, bounded by Dangar Street, Hannell Street, and Charles Street. It is surrounded by a rapidly growing cluster of residential towers and mixed-use projects that have emerged following the completion of the light rail and transport interchange.

Bottega House has completed settlement of a landmark riverfront site in Macquarie Street, St Lucia, representing its first major Brisbane development.&nbsp;

Positioned on the banks of the Brisbane River, the <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/180-macquarie-street-st-lucia-qld-4067">premium site at 180 Macquarie Street</a> features uninterrupted river frontage in one of Brisbane’s most tightly held residential precincts.&nbsp;

The proposed development, currently under assessment with Brisbane City Council, has been designed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/plus-studio">Plus Studio</a> with interiors by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/interior-designers/mim-design">Mim Design</a> and will deliver a boutique collection of premium residences positioned specifically for owner occupiers and downsizers.&nbsp;

The residences are set to redefine luxury apartment living in the area, with a focus on architectural quality, refined finishes, landscape integration and elevated amenities including curated wellness facilities, resort-style pools and recreation spaces rarely seen in the local market.&nbsp;

Exclusive sales for the project will be led by Keenan &amp; Byrne, ahead of an anticipated launch later this year.&nbsp;

Bottega House Managing Director Nick Malloch said the project reflects the group’s ambition to deliver a highly curated residential offering within one of Brisbane’s most tightly held precincts.&nbsp;

“This is an incredibly rare riverfront opportunity and one we have approached with a long-term perspective,” Malloch said.&nbsp;

“Our vision from the outset was to create a boutique collection of residences that feel more like private homes than traditional apartments, with generous proportions, refined finishes and exceptional amenity throughout."

Malloch says there is a&nbsp;lack of premium owner-occupier stock of this quality in the market, particularly for downsizers wanting space, privacy and a true lifestyle offering without compromise.&nbsp;

"Demand is expected to be strong given the scarcity of premium riverfront opportunities of this nature within Brisbane’s inner-west."&nbsp;

The arrival of the first piling rig officially marks the commencement of construction at SIERA’s new beachside apartment development, Exhale, in Northcliffe.

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/exhale-surfers-paradise-8-enderley-avenue-surfers-paradise-qld-4217">Exhale</a>, a glass-encased tower featuring 54 large-scale apartments at 8 Enderley Avenue, is SIERA’s third Gold Coast development. It follows the recently completed PIPIS Bilinga beachfront project, which achieved suburb-record prices, and the soon-to-be-completed Chevron Island development, Tapestry.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112661 project_image_fid=359603]

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/siera">SIERA</a> Founder and Managing Director Brent Thompson said the arrival of the piling rig represented a significant milestone for the development, which is scheduled for completion in late 2028.

Over the next month, around 260 piles are expected to be installed as work progresses on the basement structure. The building is anticipated to rise above ground level early next year, before unveiling its sculptural glass curtain wall, developed in collaboration with specialist façade engineers.

“The façade was designed to maximise panoramic coastal views while creating a distinctive architectural identity,” Thompson said.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112661 project_image_fid=355935]

Designed by BDA Architecture, Exhale will comprise just 54 two- and three-bedroom residences across 26 levels, a level of low-density living rarely delivered in this beachside pocket between Surfers Paradise and Broadbeach.

The project has been conceived as a resident-only building, with no short-stay accommodation permitted. SIERA says the model is intended to appeal to long-term owner-occupiers rather than transient holiday demand.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112661 project_image_fid=361052]

Residences have been designed with large-format layouts and expansive glazing, with most apartments featuring more than 30 metres of glass frontage to maximise natural light and ocean views.

The amenity offering spans two levels and centres on wellness and lifestyle, including a heated magnesium pool, sauna, yoga and Pilates studio, gymnasium, private dining facilities, cinema lounge, and dedicated surfcraft storage.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112661 project_image_fid=359607]

More than half of the apartments have already sold. SIERA has also opened a sales gallery for Exhale at its Chevron Island commercial premises, near its Tapestry tower and the site of its second Chevron Island apartment development, which is slated to launch in early 2027.

SIERA kicks off construction at Northcliffe tower Exhale

Local Little Bay residents, along with buyers from premium postcodes across Sydney’s affluent Eastern Suburbs, have dominated purchases in developer-builder Urban Property Group’s first Eastern Suburbs apartment development, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/este-little-bay-jennifer-street-little-bay-nsw-2036">ESTE Little Bay</a>.

The $250 million coastal project, one of the first new developments in the area in several years, has proven particularly popular with downsizers, especially those from Coogee and Bondi. One Double Bay downsizer paid $4.7 million for a four-bedroom penthouse, setting a new local apartment price record in the process.

Buyers have been attracted to the combination of coastal tranquillity, premium design and amenity-rich neighbourhood living. The walkable village setting, along with proximity to three of Sydney’s leading golf courses, New South Wales Golf Club, St Michael’s Golf Club and The Coast Golf Club, has also been a key drawcard.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112343 project_image_fid=352689]

Built across two low-rise buildings designed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/hill-thalis-architecture-urban-projects-pty-ltd">Hill Thalis</a> and set along a lush, landscaped green spine, designed by leading landscape architect <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/landscape-architect/arcadia-landscape-architecture">Arcadia</a>, ESTE Little Bay offers a collection of one, two, three and four-bedroom residences with interiors by Richards Stanisich.

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/urban-property-group">Urban Property Group</a> Sales Director, Tom McIvor said the response to ESTE has been "nothing short of extraordinary."

“Buyers have been quick to recognise ESTE as a rare opportunity to invest in a coastal sanctuary that offers both seclusion and connectivity to the heart of Sydney,” McIvor said.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112343 project_image_fid=352687]

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/project-marketer/srm-residential">SRM Residential</a> Senior Director, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/project-marketer/srm-residential">Clayton Ross</a> said the local market has responded incredibly well, driven by ESTE’s exceptional location and the rarity it offers.

“We’ve seen strong interest from a variety of buyer groups, all of whom are drawn to the exclusivity and quality of the build and construction by the 4.5-star iCIRT-rated builder / developer, Urban Property Group. There’s truly nothing else like it along Sydney’s coastline.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112343 project_image_fid=352690]

The project also includes robust buyer protections, including Resilience Insurance’s Latent Defects Insurance, providing 10 years of structural cover, and an independent iCIRT-rating of the developer.

“The iCIRT-rating adds another layer of confidence,” Ross added. “Buyers see it as a safeguard for their investment and their lifestyle.” A highlight of ESTE’s offering is its exclusive wellness amenities, including a heated rooftop infinity pool and outdoor heated spa, a state-of-the-art Technogym fitness centre, and a sauna.

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/este-little-bay-jennifer-street-little-bay-nsw-2036">ESTE Little Bay</a> is topped out and is on track to complete towards the end of 2026, with residents moving in before Christmas.

Gold Coast Apartments

The Esplanade is one of the Gold Coast&#39;s most sought-after strips of beachfront real estate, stretching over 1.5 kilometres across the beachfront, from the entry to Main Beach to the north, to the south where it becomes North​cliffe Terrace.

There&#39;s been little in the way of apartment development in recent years. There&#39;s Soul, one of the area&#39;s most well-known apartment buildings which is approaching 10 years&nbsp;built, and Merit​on&#39;s 400 plus apartments at Ocean, currently under construction.

But now the dress circle street is set for&nbsp;something completely different to what has been seen in decades.

The AU, a collection of just 12 exclusive full-floor oceanview sky homes and two opulent three-level penthouses, is set to launch, giving the strip an incomparable offering.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=6762 project_image_fid=184126]

The idea was to capture that next level of luxury, and create a truly boutique product.

&quot;We wanted to elevate beachfront living on the Gold Coast with a modern classic and timeless design,&quot; ASF Group Marketing Director&nbsp;Daniel Fang says.

&quot;Its central location and opulent design draws parallels to that of the Oper​a Residences in Sydney&#39;s Circular Quay, just with the beach on your doorstep rather than Sydney Harbour,&quot; Fang added.

There was a conscious effort from the team not to replicate the creamy sandy vibe that the Gold Coast apartment style is typically known for.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=6762 project_image_fid=184123]

ASF enlisted the expertise of the Sydney-based interior design legend Greg Natale to craft the interiors, something no other Gold Coast apartment development can boast.

The&nbsp;apartments will have the finest finishes, with natural stone bench tops, and gold fixtures and finishes throughout.

Archidiom put the plans together for the 19-storey tower, with a facade made almost entirely of golden glass.&nbsp; It allows each apartment to have clear panoramic views of the Surfers Paradise beach.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=6762 project_image_fid=184130]

Each full-floor apartment will offer three bedrooms and a multi-purpose room, or four bedrooms, each with ensuites, studies, stone kitchens, and an open plan living and dining area. Furthermore, each sky home will have a 16m frontage directly facing the Pacific Ocean and beach

The resident amenity is located on podium level, with a gym and residents&#39;&nbsp;lounge space, which&nbsp;sit beside the infinity pool that looks out across the sand and ocean.

The podium level also features a barbecue and dining facilities, along with a sauna, ideal for unwinding after a few laps in the pool.

The display suite is up and ready for viewing for prospective buyers, with the interiors created in the style of the actual residences. That&#39;s located in the Soul Boardwalk, just a few minutes away from the actual site of The AU.

The AU set to launch 14 luxury oceanview sky home apartments Surfers Paradise

The burgeoning Broadbeach is set for another high-rise apartment development, as developers continue to try and keep up with the high demand for luxury product in the area.

Plans have been filed by Ferro Chow Architects&nbsp;for a&nbsp;46-level tower at 99-101 Old Burleigh Road,&nbsp;on the corner of Armrick Avenue and across the road from Broadbeach Park.

The development will only have 59 apartments, with half-floor apartments taking up the first half of the tower, then full-floor apartments from there up.

Marco Ferro said the Broadbeach design was&nbsp;inspired by the Norfolk pine trees that line Old Burleigh Road.

<a href="/new-apartments/casa-beach-99-101-old-burleigh-road-broadbeach">To keep up to date with the development and its launch, enquire here</a>

&quot;The dark bark texture of the tree trunks give this particular side of Broadbeach a characteristic that set it aside from the rest of the region,&quot; Ferro said.

&quot;The bold lines and colours throughout the tower reference aspects of placemaking connecting Old Burleigh Road to Broadbeach Boulevard.&quot;

The smallest apartments have three bedrooms and a multi-purpose room. There are 36 three-bedroom apartments, 22 four-bedroom apartments, and a special penthouse toward the point end of the building.

The third level podium will have the half of the resident amenity. There&#39;s a barbecue kitchen and dining, an adjoining private dining area with a bar, extensive seating across a lower and upper deck, a gym, and an infinity edge pool with day beds.

From level four upwards will be two apartments per floor to level 22, where from there are just whole-floor apartments.

<a href="/new-apartments/casa-beach-99-101-old-burleigh-road-broadbeach">To keep up to date with the development and its launch, enquire here</a>

There&#39;s further resident amenity of level 44, while includes more lounge, kitchen and dining areas, a wine bar with cellar, a reflection pond, and a cinema room.

Above that is the two-level penthouse.&nbsp;

<img alt="" height="800" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/99-101_obr_broadbeach_0.jpg" width="1200" /> 
The proposed apartment tower and swimming pool level.&nbsp;Image credit: Ferro Chow Architects

The first level is dedicated to entertaining, with the main kitchen living and dining space, two balconies, one with an outdoor kitchen and plunge pool, a home office, with its own butlers pantry, and a home theatre room, with sliding doors hiding a popcorn maker.

Upstairs is the four bedrooms, all with ensuites. The master has a walk in.

Currently on the 1,283 sqm site is Casa Del Mar, an original three-storey walk up of just five apartments.

&quot;The client has catered for a wider pool of owner-occupiers, offering different price points&nbsp;with half-floor and whole-floor apartments,&quot; Ferro said, adding that the views across Broadbeach will never be built out.

<a href="/new-apartments/casa-beach-99-101-old-burleigh-road-broadbeach">To keep up to date with the development and its launch, enquire here</a>

The site is next door to the recently approved tower from the Brisbane-based Turrisi Properties, who are set to develop a 22-level, 84-apartment tower designed by&nbsp;Rothelowman, who were aiming for a&nbsp;mid-century, tropical modernist-style building.

Ferro Chow&#39;s approach to the 99-101 Old Burleigh Road&nbsp;was to use the&nbsp;Biophillic Design principles.

&quot;As a consequence of being city dwellers, we become more and more out of touch with nature,&quot; the architecture firm noted.

<img alt="" height="800" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/99-101_obr_0.jpg" width="1200" /> 
The proposed apartment tower on a corner site and the view from the swimming pool.&nbsp;Image credit: Ferro Chow Architects

&quot;Biophilic Design is a response to that detachment, aiming to restore the connectivity our society once had with the natural environment.

&quot;Connectivity with the nature is our birthright. In biophilic principles, this connection must not only be reestablished, but also sustained. This is where human-made design interventions come into play, as they are needed to facilitate our relationships with nature and also each other.

&quot;Through the emphasis of the natural features of the site, introduction of abundant natural light, and the fostering of human relationships, a building becomes a hub for engagement.&quot;

Ferro Chow, who was a finalist at the&nbsp;UDIA QLD Awards&nbsp;for London, its West End, Brisbane apartment development,&nbsp;are also behind the unique design of Greenwich, the Chevron Island development from Ention Properties.

Broadbeach set for new 45-level, Ferro Chow-designed apartment tower

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

Despite the wave of interstate developers descending on the Gold Coast, it was a local developer who has snagged a prime site in the heart of Mermaid Beach.

James George, director of Highlife Homes,&nbsp;grabbed the keys&nbsp;to an 818&nbsp;sqm corner site at 2419 Gold Coast Highway, which currently has a&nbsp;block of eight renovated two-bedroom apartments.

George is now&nbsp;considering a luxury townhouse&nbsp;development by Highlife Homes.

The site comes with an expansive&nbsp;frontage down Hilda Street and is moments away from the picturesque beaches and acclaimed Hedges Avenue - the &#39;millionaires row&#39;.&nbsp; &nbsp;

GV Property Group&#39;s Luke&nbsp;Reaby, who brokered the $4.5 million deal alongside Antonio&nbsp;Mercuri, said they knew the site lent itself to a small builder/developer.&nbsp;

<img alt="" height="622" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/mermaid_beach_2.jpg" width="1200" />

&quot;Mermaid is very much loved by locals due to the low rise characteristics and village feel,&quot; Reaby said.

Reaby said Mermaid Beach is the Gold Coast&#39;s version of&nbsp;Toorak and Double Bay.

&quot;It&#39;s the most expensive area for land on the Gold Coast,&quot; Reaby says.

&quot;While land is expensive, with&nbsp;beachfront properties constantly exceeding the $10m price bracket, you can see why a development that provides townhouses for under $2.5m would represent great value to locals and interstate travellers,&quot; Reaby added.

Highlife Homes&#39; has a pipeline across the Gold Coast which&nbsp;includes townhouse developments&nbsp;The Sol Project in Coolangatta,&nbsp;The Horizon Project in Burleigh Heads and The Sea Breeze Project in Palm Beach.

Local Gold Coast developer grabs Mermaid Beach development site

Broadbeach&#39;s next apartment tower is set to come from Turrisi Properties, who has received sign off for their first Gold Coast apartment project.

The development, at 9-11 Armrick Avenue, will home 84 apartments across its 22 levels, a mix of two and three-bedroom apartments, as well as a small collection of four-bedroom penthouses, each set to have their own rooftop decks with&nbsp;a spa, kitchen, living and dining facilities.

There were a few tweaks to the Rothelowman-designed tower, which saw the balconies of the south side apartments relocated to the outside corners.

<a href="/new-apartments/9-11-armrick-avenue-broadbeach">To keep up to date with the development and its launch, enquire here</a>

&quot;This change will lighten the appearance of the tower form and any appearance of bulk in the tower would be minimised through the lightness and transparency of the balconies,&quot; Urbis director Matthew Schneider noted.

Turrisi&nbsp;founder and managing director Gaetano Turrisi said liveability was the top priority in the design.

<img alt="" height="958" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/armrick_broadbeach_2.jpg" width="1200" />

&ldquo;We are passionate about the development of the highest quality bespoke residences in Southeast Queensland and excited to be bringing our design standard to the Gold Coast,&rdquo; said Turrisi Properties managing director, Gaetano Turrisi.

&ldquo;As our debut project on the Gold Coast, this is an opportunity for us to enhance one of the world&rsquo;s most famous beachfront skylines and we have not made any compromises in crafting a well-designed residential tower with liveability as the top priority.&rdquo;

<a href="/new-apartments/9-11-armrick-avenue-broadbeach">To keep up to date with the development and its launch, enquire here</a>

The Rothelowman design pays homage to the Gold Coast&rsquo;s mid-century past that echoes tropical modernism.

&ldquo;The design of our Armrick Avenue project encapsulates the quintessential coastal experience, including an operable fa&ccedil;ade that allows residents to tune their environment to the current conditions and is a short walk to the beach, a surf club, Norfolk pines and a bowls club - the existing collection of civic offerings allows for the creation of a new civic promenade along Armrick Avenue,&rdquo;&nbsp;Turrisi said.

<img alt="" height="720" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/armrick_design_1.jpg" width="1200" />

&ldquo;Also, the contemporary but timeless design elements of the development are enhanced by extensive podium and rooftop communal amenities that add value to residents as well as the local community.&rdquo;

The podium communal recreation area features a gym, pool, sundeck, spa, sunken lounge, dining and teppanyaki/ barbecue facilities. On the rooftop, the communal amenity includes a&nbsp;private dining room with kitchen and TV facilities as well as an open air spritz bar overlooking the beach.

A landscaped tropical formal entry and beach entry with beach showers sit on the ground level, as does a&nbsp;Zen Garden and surf craft room.

The high-end South East Queensland developer, Forme, has been given the green light for its next luxury Gold Coast apartment development.

Dubbed Sea, the boutique apartment building follows the rhythms and designs as their sold-out Goodwin Terrace projects Norfolk and Luna.

Demand was so high for Norfolk, which recently settled as one of the Gold Coast's most expensive apartment developments, that Forme boss David Calvisi put together the same team to create a similar-style project slightly further south on The Esplanade.

He had&nbsp;Koichi Takada again handle the architecture. His designs for Norfolk made the building a hit on Instagram. The curved facade even became one of the famous Bondi-based Aquabumps prints.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=99968 project_image_fid=187434]

Interiors have again been directed by the Melbourne-based interior design firm Mim Design, headed by the interior design queen Mim Fanning. The design approach came from the coastline just across the road.

Sea comprises half-floor apartments, each spanning 240 sqm and homing&nbsp;three bedrooms, three bathrooms, two car spaces and a panorama of beach, ocean, skyline and headland views.

Full-floor apartments of around 480 sqm are configured to include three ensuited bedrooms, a multi-purpose room, media lounge, home gym, walk-in wine display bar, and a&nbsp;lifestyle space with a fireplace and butler’s pantry.

Residents are afforded exclusive access to an array of in-house amenities including a pool, sauna, ice baths, gymnasium and pilates studio, and an alfresco dining terrace serviced by an integrated barbecue kitchen ensconced by idyllic gardens.

Sea is crowned by a 790 sqm, two-level penthouse.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=99968 project_image_fid=187431]

Forme director David Calvisi said Sea translates to a sophisticated statement of inspired design, refined social amenity and considered lifestyle opportunities to become an outstanding destination in its own right.

“Sea is the very essence of beachfront living embracing our coastal climate, contemporary comforts and relaxed vibe in an unequivocally refined, intuitive and practical composition for the astute purchaser.”

Sea is set&nbsp;to launch in December,&nbsp;with a number of apartments already secured in the pre-release phase through JLE Projects.

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

Morris Property Group, the popular&nbsp;Canberra and Gold Coast developer, has landed its next apartment development.

It&#39;s in the hot Burleigh Heads market, where MPG, headed by development veteran Barry Morris, has secured a 2,024 sqm double block at 1873-1875 Gold Coast Highway.

They&#39;ve paid $12.9 million for the site, sold through GV Property Group&#39;s Antonio Mercuri, which sits just 300 metres from the Burleigh entertainment and lifestyle precinct.

MPG plans a development comprising predominantly two-bedroom,&nbsp;two-bathroom&nbsp;apartments to provide housing more affordable to a broader section of the community.

<a href="/new-apartments/bondi-burleigh-1873-1875-gold-coast-highway-burleigh-heads-qld-4220">To keep up to date with the development and its launch, enquire here</a>

&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.

<img alt="" height="675" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/burleigh_hero_2.jpg" width="1200" />

&quot;The purchase of the Burleigh 1873 property comes hot on the heels of the group&rsquo;s purchase of 13-15 Armrick Avenue Broadbeach and 13-15 Australia Avenue Broadbeach as the group replenishes its Gold Coast development and construction pipeline.

&quot;There are several developments in the Burleigh area that offer multi-million dollar apartments to a select few; this is not our target market. We want more people to be able to enjoy Burleigh and everything it has to offer.&quot;

Antoni Mercuri, whose&nbsp;GV Property Group sold MPG the site, said there were over 20 enquiries from developers and investors, with six development groups&nbsp;submitting offers.

&quot;It is rare to find such a holding in the Burleigh precinct bounded by The Esplanade and the Gold Coast Highway, and the competitive tension between developers was a testament to the popularity of the area,&quot; Mercuri said.

<a href="/new-apartments/bondi-burleigh-1873-1875-gold-coast-highway-burleigh-heads-qld-4220">To keep up to date with the development and its launch, enquire here</a>

Morris Property Group first started developing on the Gold Coast in 2005 when they created Verve Broadbeach.

Since then, MPG has completed seven towers in Broadbeach, two in Mermaid Beach and three in Burleigh Heads totalling over 1,200 apartments.

The group has two Gold Coast apartments projects under construction including Sandbar Burleigh Heads and&nbsp;Essence Surfers Paradise. They recently sold out all of the apartments in Koko Broadbeach and Opus Broadbeach.

Only 10 apartments remain in Sandbar Burleigh, the 26-level development with 163 apartments.

MPG plans a development comprising predominantly two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartments to provide housing more affordable to a broader section of the community.



Morris Property Group set for Burleigh apartment tower after site purchase

The development of the small Gold Coast enclave of Coolangatta is set to continue, with the Melbourne-based BeckDev lodging plans for a new apartment tower.

The $130 million Palais, named after the Jazzland Dance Palais that has stood on the 2,355 sqm site since the 1930s, will have 175 one, two and three-bedroom apartments, as well as resident facilities and a street-level plaza with retail space.

BDA Architecture has designed the plans for the development.

<a href="/new-apartments/palais-coolangatta-31-35-mclean-street-coolangatta">To keep up to date with the development and its launch, enquire here</a>

BeckDev was among six local and interstate buyers vying for the site at 31-35 McLean Street, which was purchased earlier this year.

Ben Beck, director of BeckDev and son of the industry veteran Max Beck, said Coolangatta stood out&nbsp;as one of the Gold Coast&rsquo;s gems.

&quot;Its riches lie in its natural amenity, world class surfing beaches and deep sense of community,&quot; Beck said.

<img alt="" height="1600" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/mclean_street_2.jpg" width="1200" />

&ldquo;We weren&rsquo;t the only ones to recognise the enormous potential of the site - after all, you can&rsquo;t get much more central than this in what is undoubtedly one of the Gold Coast&rsquo;s most renowned beach locales.

&ldquo;We want Palais to be a modern, sophisticated extension of the Coolangatta lifestyle and that&rsquo;s what we have been working with our architects on.&quot;

CBRE&rsquo;s Director of Residential Projects, Nicholas Clydsdale, who will handle the marketing for Palais, said BeckDev had cornered a market simmering with demand for new apartment offerings in an area undergoing significant demand.

&ldquo;Coolangatta is undergoing a real popularity focus at the moment, and I think that comes back to its retention of the laidback surf culture coupled with its unique north facing topography,&rdquo;&nbsp;Clydsdale said.

<img alt="" height="668" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/palais_coolangatta_2.jpg" width="1200" />

<a href="/new-apartments/palais-coolangatta-31-35-mclean-street-coolangatta">To keep up to date with the development and its launch, enquire here</a>

&ldquo;What many people don&rsquo;t realise is that Coolangatta was the original beachside destination of the Gold Coast, even before Surfers Paradise, and we are seeing recognition of its truly unique offering.

&ldquo;We&rsquo;re particularly seeing that growing demand for new product, which has been in incredibly short supply on the southern Gold Coast until recently.&rdquo;

Ben and Max Beck are renowned for delivering a foray of quality and landmark developments in Sydney and Melbourne, including one of Australia&rsquo;s most important heritage building restorations in 333 Collins Street in Melbourne.

Ben Beck, director of BeckDev and son of the industry veteran Max Beck, said Coolangatta stood out as one of the Gold Coast’s gems
