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.

The sky home on the 19th floor of Coolangatta&rsquo;s Reflection Tower Two has been sold for $2.8 million, the highest sale achieved in Queensland last week.

It sold through Chris Casey at Coastal Space.

The 1903/110 Marine Parade offering had last sold in 2013 at $1,795,000.

It first sold in 2005 at $1.9 million.

It is a three bedroom, three bathroom apartment with 228 sq space perched on the shores of Coolangatta Beach.

The north facing sky home has interiors inspired by Balinese decor.

The sale follows a recent $2,795,000 sale on the 17th floor.

Reflection Tower Two comes with a residents executive lounge complete with theatre.

The pair of 20-level towers were built in Coolangatta were built in 2009 by Con Nikiforides whose development company Niecon Developments then went onto capitalising on the popularity of the southern Gold Coast with the development at Kirra Beach called Nirvana by the Sea.

It has also built Broadbeach&rsquo;s Oracle towers and Aqua at Labrador.

Reflection Tower Two was handed the top honour at the 2008 Queensland Master Builders awards after it was built by Matrix Residential Projects.

The Sydney-based Weiya Holdings are transforming the Old Burleigh Theatre in the sought-after area of Burleigh Heads, in what will be the first ever adaptive&nbsp;re-use of a building with heritage elements on the Gold Coast.

The Goodwin Terrace development, dubbed&nbsp;DE-LUXE, will see the the 1930s cinema, which closed its doors around 1970s to become the retail and dining Old Burleigh Theatre Arcade, completely transformed.

Weiya are keeping large parts of the building, which is considered a landmark by locals.&nbsp;

The ground level and arcade will be retained and restored, and will soon home 13 levels of luxury apartments built above the space.

Weiya, who since the announcement of the redevelopment of the theatre have been working with locals groups and council,&nbsp;called on Conrad Gargett Architects, who are specialist in the heritage restoration space, to handle the design.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=102645 project_image_fid=178415]

Rey Boliver, associate interior designer at Conrad Gargett, said the most important factor was how to make a point of difference at DE-LUXE.

"We ask ourselves a simple question:&nbsp;In the&nbsp;sea of travertine and polished plaster, that is found within these similar developments, what can set us apart?"

"It all comes down to the theatre" Boliver says.

"The theatre is what makes this whole project special and unique."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=102645 project_image_fid=178432]

The two-bedroom apartments, which had been priced from $1.42 million, have already sold out. They have over&nbsp;200 sqm of living space, which is a more standard size for a four-bedroom apartment.

Recently launched through&nbsp;Patrick Pancur of Weiya Holdings

From levels three to 10 are two-per-floor pavilions, with 300 sqm of living space. They start from $3.7 million.

The sub-penthouse skyhomes, on levels 11 and 12, are over 400 sqm and have a $6.9 million price tag. The two-level penthouse, which spans levels 12 to 13, spans 485 sqm.

That has its own private lift access and its own wine cellar. Pancur is asking $8.9 million for the penthouse.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=102645 project_image_fid=178435]

The two-level,&nbsp;New York-style beach houses, start from $5.8 million. They're using the original natural brick and timbers, mixing the old and new creating the first ever heritage mix beach house.

There's been some interest from some who want to amalgamate two penthouses, which would create a 970 sqm space. That will cost a cool $17.8 million.

The two-level, New York-style beach houses, start from $5.8 million.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=102645 project_image_fid=172103]

Pancur says DE-LUXE is&nbsp;a very unique offering, something Burleigh Heads, or even the Gold Coast, has never seen before.

"It's certainly a special project," Pancur says. "There will never be a repeat of this development, on one of Burleigh's best streets."

"In the villas, as well as the lobby and common areas, we have a lot of the natural materials that are used," Pancur added.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=102645 project_image_fid=178439]

His early interest has came from the locked down Sydney and Melbourne, as well as a lot of local interest. But more recently he's seen high demand from local Burleigh, either who grew up seeing movies in the theatre as a child or remembering the old childhood days in the arcade.

"DE-LUXE has a sentimental value and you can’t get this from any project on the Gold Coast. DE-LUXE is something special and has a story to tell for many generations to come."

Weiya Holdings&nbsp;General Manager Garry Doherty said they are looking forward to bringing Burleigh Heads the innovative project.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=102645 project_image_fid=178449]

“It’s been a long road to get here but we are extremely grateful for the feedback from community that allowed us to devise a truly unique design that maintains that connection to the community while providing sought-after residences on one of the Gold Coasts’ most coveted beachfronts,”&nbsp;Doherty&nbsp;said.

Inside the DE-LUXE apartments: What the Old Burleigh Theatre is set to look like

The development pipeline in Gold Coast&#39;s Broadbeach keeps on coming for prospective apartment buyers who are wanting to invest in the Gold Coast over the coming years.

There&#39;s likely another residential tower set to shoot up at 13-15 Australia Avenue, a 1,214&nbsp;sqm site which has the same site zoning and dimensions of the nearby Raptis tower Gallery and the apartment development Encore by Andrews Projects.

GV Property Group&#39;s Antonio Mercuri and Luke Reaby, who sold the Broadbeach sites to Raptis and Andrews Projects,&nbsp;are marketing the Australia Avenue block,&nbsp;which currently has 12 two-bedroom apartments, with the owners joining forces&nbsp;to sell.

Mercuri and Reaby are already fielding enquiry from prominent local and interstate developers.

&quot;We expect a very similar outcome to the nearby developments, which will likely provide&nbsp;of 70 - 100 high quality apartments in the heart of Broadbeach,&quot; Reaby says.

&quot;Boutique Projects of this size have done extremely well in last year and we anticipate another quick sell-out for the new project.&quot;

GV specialise in development site sales, property amalgamations and acquisitions on the Gold Coast.

They band&nbsp;together apartment owners in underutilised and underdeveloped land parcels and secure premium prices for their apartments which they sell&nbsp;to multi-residential developers.

Broadbeach has been a hot bed of apartment developments and lodgements in recent years.

There are 10 developments currently in market in Broadbeach on Apartments.com.au, including Encore by Andrews Project and&nbsp;Morris Property Group&#39;s Opus and Koko.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=6999 project_image_fid=86625]

Broadbeach set for new high-rise tower as prime development site listed

The apartment redevelopment of the Hotel Komune Resort, at Coolangatta&#39;s Greenmount Beach, is set to begin.

Construction is slated for September at the already sold-out project by the Brisbane-based Spyre Group, who secured sales of all of the 30 apartments in just four weeks earlier this year.

It achieved an average sale price of $1.9 million, with prices rising as high as the penthouse which sold for $7.1 million.

It fell some way short of the area penthouse record, which is categorized in this market as south of Mermaid Beach, to not include the established high-rise developments in Surfers, Broadbeach&nbsp;and Main Beach.

David Calvisi&#39;s FORME Projects holds that mantle, securing a $9 million sale of the penthouse in his Koichi Takada-designed Norfolk at Burleigh Heads. The luxury development, which saw the bulk of its sales two years ago, well before the COVID-enduced boom in the area, also saw two further apartment sales at $8.5 million.

With the same team as Norfolk, and less than a kilometre away, FORME&nbsp;are set to launch 96 The Esplanade, with locals suggesting the penthouse could be priced around the $15 million mark.

Hutchinson Builders, Australia&#39;s largest privately owned construction company, will deliver Spyre&#39;s&nbsp;$57 million project, which will rise 12 storeys on its Marine Parade dress circle address. The old Hotel Komune building has been demolished.

It is expected the development will be completed in the first quarter of 2023.

&ldquo;We are thrilled to have Hutchinson&rsquo;s on board to deliver our latest Gold Coast project following the extraordinary sell-out,&rdquo; Spyre Group Director Andrew Malouf said.

&ldquo;Cala Dei will transform the pristine beachfront site from a boisterous hub into a serene collection of residences to accommodate a new generation of Coolangatta locals,&rdquo;&nbsp;Malouf added.

&ldquo;Given that the southern Gold Coast appeal is higher than ever, we are excited to start bringing this collection of ultra-desirable homes to life.&rdquo;

The Coolangatta market has gone from strength to strength over the last six months.

The most recent development is The Emerson, developed by the Melbourne-based&nbsp;Hirsch &amp; Faigen, who are behind the Palm Beach apartment project Hemingway.

It achieved an average sale price of $1.9 million, with prices rising as high as the penthouse which sold for $7.1 million

The residential development of the in demand Surfers Paradise enclave Chevron Island is set to continue.

The Brisbane-focused Ention Properties are the latest developer to enter the Gold Coast market from the Queensland capital. They&#39;re set to develop a&nbsp;New York-inspired apartment project, dubbed Greenwich, a reflection of Manhattan&#39;s famous Flatiron building.

Ention have reduced the number of apartments from 48 to 46, and increase the height level to 15. It will be&nbsp;targeted at owner-occupiers, KM Sales and Marketing associate director Todd Matheson says.

&quot;We envisage a majority of owner occupiers buying with 75% of the building being three bedrooms creating a vertical community crowned by a roof top with multi zoned amenity, allowing owners to come together or have private break out spaces,&rdquo; Matheson says.

The building designed by Ferro Chow Architects at 30 Anembo Street, on the corner of Anembo and Aruma Streets, will be predominantly made up of three-bedrooms. There&#39;s also&nbsp;a collection of two-bedroom apartments and a single four-bedroom apartment.&nbsp;

&nbsp;

Ention Founding Director&rsquo;s, Trent Thoroughgood and&nbsp;Dion Smith, said that Greenwich would open the doors to luxury for a diversity of buyers, from the downsizer all the way through to the first home buyer.

<img alt="" height="1600" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/ention_chevron_2.jpg" width="1200" />

&ldquo;We wanted to ensure that Greenwich surpassed the quality of its market counterparts to produce a collection of waterside residences rich in exceptionally high-level finishes, accessible to a broader range of buyers than one would expect for such a luxurious product,&rdquo; said Thoroughgood.

Thoroughgood said Greenwich would inject the island with a New York ambience emanating from design features reflective of the city&rsquo;s distinctive architecture and art scene, while replicating a Central Park lushness from its vantage point over the Korman Family Park.

&ldquo;As the project has evolved our discussion always came back to two things, a New York/Arts Vibe located across from a beautiful leafy green park and the sophisticated architectural facade elevating the Gold Coast to a mature city,&rdquo; he said.

&ldquo;The proximity of the project to Gold Coast&rsquo;s Home of The Arts made it the perfect fit to capture a distinctly artsy character, set mere moments from the city&rsquo;s art capital,&rdquo; &ldquo;HOTA&rsquo;s arrival reinvigorated Chevron Island with a new lease on life and we are excited to be extending this into the creation of a magnificent residential landmark that is in touch with the island&rsquo;s iconic character.&rdquo;

Dion Smith said the&nbsp;location of the building, which sits at the gateway between Chevron Island&#39;s village and Surfers Paradise entertainment precinct, allows residents to be close to all the lifestyle amenity you could ever need or want, yet gives the sense of quiet, space and security,

The distinctive arched floor to ceiling windows will allow&nbsp;uninterrupted park views to the south, 270 degree views over the Nerang River to the south, west and north, and hinterland views to the west.

Crowning&nbsp;the tower will be a yoga lawn and rooftop pool.

Jared Chow, lead architect at Ferro Chow Architects, said Greenwich acts as a canvas to its bordering scenery, inspired by context with its materiality of a neutral palette.

&ldquo;Embracing the vibrancy of the local community and lifestyle, the architecture softly frames the neighbouring landscapes capturing the beach essence.&rdquo;

Its proximity to natural features and public spaces opens up abundant opportunities to call attention to its spectacular surrounding views encircled by the Nerang River.

About the developer

Ention Properties is an accomplished property development company founded by Dion Smith and Trent Thoroughgood in 2013.

Over the last eight years Ention have a work book of over $100 million, developing townhouses and apartments across Brisbane.

The respected Sydney-based developer, Abadeen Group, has officially launched&nbsp;its first Gold Coast project.

Abadeen, founded and run by property industry veteran&nbsp;Justin Brown, is behind the latest Palm Beach tower, Villea.

The 69-apartment tower at 26 Mawarra Street has one,&nbsp;two and three-bedroom apartments,&nbsp;designed for owner-occupier.

All of the one-bedroom apartments have already been snapped up pre-launch.

Villea offers&nbsp;a rare affordable entry point in Palm Beach, with current and future projects in the pipeline predominantly targeted at the luxury owner-occupier, many with prices starting from $2 million and up.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=106840 project_image_fid=172251]

Villea prices start&nbsp;from $655,000 for the two-bed, two bath apartments with parking, and rise incrementally to the three-bedroom apartments, which start from $1.41 million.

Brown said Abadeen&nbsp;was delighted to have purchased such a strategic site to enter the Gold Coast market.

&ldquo;We are extremely excited with the purchase in what we believe is one of Australia&rsquo;s premier beachfront locations,&rdquo;&nbsp;Brown said.

&ldquo;The location of the site is close to northern Palm Beach&rsquo;s pristine beachfront precinct as well as Tallebudgera Creek and is located in an area where there are very few development opportunities for such a project.

&ldquo;We know the market is running very strongly on the southern Gold Coast, in Palm Beach particularly, and&nbsp;believe the market is primed for this project.&quot;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=106840 project_image_fid=172250]

There will be private facilities at Villea solely for residents, which includes a&nbsp;resort-style pool, fully equipped gym and a&nbsp;recreational BBQ area.

Villea will also&nbsp;revitalize the street level, with a cool retail&nbsp;strip.

BDA says the project offers the opportunity to reimagine the existing neighbourhood retail centre, as well as&nbsp;introducing&nbsp;a residential component.

&quot;The design approach will result in the addition of high quality, engaging development within this area, that provide a considerable amenity for residents, visitors and neighbours alike,&quot; BDA advise.

One of the biggest drivers for buyers will be the location, 400 metres to the sand of Palm Beach and around the corner from Palm Beach&#39;s thriving cafe and dining precinct.

Palm Beach is also set to be connected to the rest of the Gold Coast by the expanding Gold Coast light rail.

Villea Apartments have views west to the Gold Coast hinterland, north to Burleigh Heads and east across the Pacific Ocean.

Each apartment will have premium finishes and inclusions, including&nbsp;stone benchtops, timber flooring, high quality European appliances, porcelain tile and full height windows to take advantage of the Gold Coast sun.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=106840 project_image_fid=172252]

Abadeen secured the site through GV Property Group&#39;s Antonio Mercuri, who handled the sale on&nbsp;behalf of Gold Coast developer Cru Collective.

It was a well-timed entry in to the Gold Coast market for Abadeen, with the market currently undergoing its highest demand in years.

CBRE Gold Coast agent Nicholas Clydsdale is handling the sales campaign.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=106840 project_image_fid=172249]

About the developer

Abadeen has developed more than $1.3 billion in residential and retail projects over the last 20 years, including high end residential and commercial projects in the Sydney area and a large land estate in the Hunter Valley.

The site once mooted for a 103-floor Surfers Paradise apartment tower has been listed for sale.

It has been offered through First National Surfers Paradise.

The tower would have been the tallest in the southern hemisphere at 328 metres with 1127 apartments.

The twin-tower venture called Orion Towers was approved five years ago for the Chinese-owned Orion International Group.

Tower One (76 storeys) and Tower Two (103 storeys) was also set to include Australia's highest destination restaurant: Restaurant 101.

Orion’s $1.2 billion plans were set to overtake the Q1 as the tallest in the southern hemisphere.

There was a 680sq m penthouse planned for level 100.

The project was planned to come to market in 2018 with the towers anticipated to be built in stages over a 10 year plus timeframe.

CRA Group undertook a national design competition to select the successful project architect, Woods Bagot.

The 5278 sqm site fronts the Gold Coast Hwy and Markwell Ave, known as the Thrifty property.

It last traded at $25 million in 2016, with one of the purchases being $15.4 million for the Red Lion Motel site.

Orion filed an application with the Gold Coaost council for a four-year extension on the project, so it has until 2025 to start construction.

Sales are underway at one of Southport&#39;s newest apartment developments, The Waverley Residences.

Located in the heart of Southport&#39;s CBD at 15 Waverley Street, the $30 million Rothelowman-designed tower, developed by the Sydney-based&nbsp;Busikon, will have 60 apartments across its eight levels when it is completed in May 2022. Construction by Descon Australia has already begun.

There will be 60 apartments in total, comprising 14 one-bedroom apartments, 32 two-beds and 14 three-bedroom apartments.

Prices start from $345,000 for the one-bedroom apartments, $500,000 for the two-bedroom apartments and $680,000 for the three-bedrooms.&nbsp;

Savill&rsquo;s Gold Coast&nbsp;Director of Residential Projects David Lennard&nbsp;said the apartments give the chance for a first home buyer to get on the ladder in the booming area.

He said the development was genuinely one of the best projects he&#39;s worked on.

&ldquo;The Waverley Residences ticks all the boxes that the discerning buyer looks for in a sophisticated home, with floor plans designed for optimum liveability, a sprawling rooftop retreat fit for entertaining and rejuvenating, and an aesthetical appeal that flows from its striking exterior to its light filled interiors,&quot; Lennard says.

&ldquo;We understood that the idealistic coastal lifestyle is a huge driving force behind the growing demand for residences on the Coast, so we sought to create a range of homes that embodied the essence of sub-tropical living.&rdquo;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=106723 project_image_fid=170912]

Lennard added that the suburb of Southport had&nbsp;long been overlooked for its supreme positioning at the core of the Gold Coast business precinct.

&ldquo;We have a huge amount of faith in Southport as one of the most underrated locations on the coast, given its proximity to picturesque waterways and beachfronts, while being immersed in a lifestyle hub of dining, retail and education as the city&rsquo;s undisputed CBD,&rdquo; Lennard said.

The apartments in Waverley Residences, created by award-winning architect firm Rothelowman, have been designed to take advantage of the coastal location, with a unique kitchen layout servicing both the interior dining area and alfresco dining on the balcony.

Crowning the building&nbsp;will be&nbsp;a rooftop terrace complete with a&nbsp;gym, outdoor lounges, dedicated BBQ areas and a private dining space with views&nbsp;to the Gold Coast skyline and beachfront.

272 Hedges Avenue, Mermaid Beach resale apartment listings hit market

Just two weeks in to its sales launch and half of the apartments in The Tally, the latest apartment development to hit the market at Palm Beach, have already been snapped up.

The 45 apartment building, developed by Scott Dolso&#39;s&nbsp;MVGS Property Group at&nbsp;14-18 Twenty Eighth Avenue, has been a hit with local owner-occupiers&nbsp;in particular, KMSM agent Chez Fraser says.

Fraser has&nbsp;fielded over 1,200 enquiries so far.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=95222 project_image_fid=170590]

&quot;Gone are the days of waiting for an agent to be get in touch and chasing&nbsp;buyers who have enquired on the project,&quot; Frazer says on the current booming market, adding that she&#39;s never been so busy.

Fraser&nbsp;says there are a few stand out features of the project which are dragging a high level of enquiry, namely the location.

&quot;The location is pretty extraordinary&quot;, Frazer says, adding that the development is not far off the Gold Coast Highway for transport links, and the apartments either overlook Burleigh Heads, Tally Creek, or the beach.

There&#39;s the affordable entry point of the development as well, a big drawcard in the current market with the wave of new&nbsp;multi-million dollar apartments targeting the luxury downsizer and owner-occupier dominating the off the plan market space.

One-bedroom apartments, which are now all sold out, had started from $450,000, which included a car space.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=95222 project_image_fid=170588]

Frazer believes we won&#39;t see two-bedroom apartments of this level for some time. They start from $650,000, with two bathrooms and two car spaces.

The majority of buyers have been local owner-occupiers, with a handful of first home buyers and a few interested from interstate.

The Tally, spanning&nbsp;nine levels and designed by BDA Architecture, has a yoga lawn on the ground level and a rooftop which has a swimming pool with views across the beach.&nbsp;Completion is slated for early 2023.

<blockquote>
&quot;Inspired by the natural landforms of Burleigh Headland and Tallebudgera Creek, the fluid movements of waves, and the subtle curves of the creek, the architectural form and colour tones pay homage to the local context and history&quot; 
BDA Architecture
</blockquote>

Frazer says good developers who build up a reputation in the area always go well when it comes to their next project.

MVGS recently developed Canopy, a similar development of 49 apartments&nbsp;also designed by BDA, nearby at 3-7 Twenty Fourth Avenue. Four of the buyers in The Tally have come from Canopy.
