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.

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.

<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

Fresh off the success of their nearby Flow and Awaken Residences, the Gold Coast&nbsp;developer S&amp;S Projects has lodged plans for its latest coastal development.

They&#39;re set to develop a mixed-use precinct at&nbsp;217-227 Boundary Street Coolangatta, a few streets back from Rainbow Bay.

Above ground level retail will be two interconnected buildings designed by Cottee Parker Architects totalling&nbsp;96 apartments.

The main residential tower will have 72-two bedroom apartments and 19-three bedroom apartments across 12 levels.

<img alt="" height="899" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/ss_projects_coolangatta.jpg" width="1200" />

Located at the front of the precinct will be the more boutique tower of just eight levels, home to five three bedroom apartments and one four bedroom penthouse.

The crowning glory of the development in Club Esprit, a rooftop residents only rooftop and wellness space in the main tower.

The rooftop features a lap pool with day beds and spa and&nbsp;a full wellness centre with gym, sauna, steam room, ice bath and treatment room.

There&#39;s a relaxation lawn, a communal kitchen with large dining space, bar, and private dining terrace with barbecue facilities which can be hired. There&#39;s also two communal barbecue facilities next to a playground lawn.

S&amp;S director Paul Gedoun says he has&nbsp;a fundamental belief in the southern Gold Coast, off the back of the exceptional success&nbsp;in Flow and Awaken.

&ldquo;Our vision for our projects looks to enhance the community feel, creating dwellings that are in line with our liveable luxury trademark,&quot; Gedoun says.

&ldquo;We expect that this project will provide a positive impact in the local community with the amalgamation of several sites providing a master-planned approach to the area.

<img alt="" height="732" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/ss_4.jpg" width="1200" />

&ldquo;We always strive to deliver high quality owner-occupier residences in prime locations, respecting the sense of community ownership and the surrounding environment and we&rsquo;ve taken that vision to a new level with Esprit.&rdquo;

S&amp;S have seen great success at their nearby Awaken Residences at Rainbow Bay, where their recent $8.15 million sale of the two-level penthouse was the highest apartment sale recorded south of Mermaid Beach.

Only four of Awaken&rsquo;s nine expansive whole floor apartments now remain, each set to go for upwards of $4 million each after more than $20 million in sales in the first five apartments to predominantly local and interstate buyers.

Flow Residences was named Australia&rsquo;s fastest selling beachfront apartments following their $74 million sell-out in late October with apartments selling at an average $3.5 million.&nbsp;Construction is underway and is due for completion in 2022.

Esprit Design Statement

In the design statement submitted to the Gold Coast City Council, Cottee Parker Architects call Esprit &quot;a unique architectural offering at Rainbow Bay, that is directly inspired by the rock pools and formations this part of the world is known for.

&quot;The proposed development at 217-227 Boundary Street is a premium one of a kind development, comprising of two interconnected buildings across two street frontages.

<img alt="" height="736" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/ss_3.jpg" width="1200" />

&quot;Surrounded by dramatic natural beauty, Esprit draws upon its context to create a design that encapsulates the desirable sub-tropical lifestyle of the Gold Coast. Boundary Street The building&rsquo;s design is inspired by nearby Snapper Rocks and the pockets of tidal pools formed over time.

&quot;Tinted glazing emulates the tranquil reflective waters, separated by striated layers of rock, represented by the facade&rsquo;s horizontal banding. These horizontal elements layer across the building facade to form balcony edges that grow and build at the edges.

&quot;Within these sheltered edges, landscaping grows to provide a small garden space to each unit, just like the pocket parks that are scattered throughout Coolangatta.&quot;

Some of the most sought-after developments over the last six months have been in the small Gold Coast enclave of Kirra Beach.

Miles Residences, the residential arm of the KTQ&#39;s Group&#39;s $380&nbsp;million redevelopment of the Kirra Beach Hotel, had the area abuzz with interest late last year.

More recently there was the quick-fire sell out of Spyre Group&#39;s Cala Dei, the&nbsp;redevelopment of the Komune Resort around the corner.

And now the Gold Coast developer Marquee Development Partners are set to put their stamp on the area, with plans approved by the Gold Coast City Council for a new residential tower.

The tower, dubbed SOL Kirra Beach located at&nbsp;133-135 Musgrave Street, will rise 11 levels and have 46 two, three and four bedroom apartments.&nbsp;

Not set to launch to the market until June 26, Marquee have already been inundated with enquiries from their database, some 1,600 prospective buyers over the last few weeks.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=7346 project_image_fid=165574]

&ldquo;We&rsquo;ve witnessed an astounding level of interest for our latest project in Kirra within mere weeks of receiving council approval,&rdquo; said Marquee Development Partners sales director Azura Griffen.

&ldquo;This Kirra site is absolutely magnificent, and we&rsquo;re excited to do it justice by delivering our signature luxury residences that package the Gold Coast dream into an ultra-desirable home.&rdquo;

The award-winning, Brisbane-based architecture firm&nbsp;Arkhefield have created&nbsp;the tower, with the primary focus to capture the view corridors of Kirra Beach, Kirra Headland, Pacific Ocean, and Coolangatta&nbsp;from its elevated headland position.

Arkhefield drew inspiration from the surrounding natural landscapes of Kirra, Greenmount and&nbsp;Snapper to inform the composition &ndash; reflecting the ocean meeting and&nbsp;shaping the land.

Each balcony is designed to capture the unique ocean views.&nbsp;

The resident amenity was inspired by Palm Springs and&nbsp;the iconic 60&rsquo;s Gold Coast aesthetic. The pool area is surrounded by mature landscaping, poolside lounges, sunbeds and&nbsp;cabanas. There is also an outdoor lounge, dining room and barbecue facilities.

SOL is the last development on the Kirra Headland, with Marquee acquiring&nbsp;the site from a family who had been at the Musgrave Street property for over 45 years.

About the developer

Marquee Development Partners are renowned on the Gold Coast for creating award winning residential projects.

SOL will mark the company&rsquo;s eighth project on the Gold Coast, winning the Master Builders Award for best medium density building in Queensland and the Gold Coast in 2020, bringing its total investment on the coast to over $450 million.

Marquee are also behind the luxury Shoreline development between Main Beach and Surfers Paradise, and One Cannes on Chevron Island.

Life is better at the beach: Six Gold Coast apartments with stunning seaside views under $749,000

The Brisbane-based developer Turrisi Properties have taken their first step in to the booming Gold Coast market.

They&#39;re starting in Broadbeach, where the family-owned company have lodged plans for at 9-11 Armrick Avenue for a Rothelowman-designed, 22-level tower of 81 apartments.

Turrisi&nbsp;founder and managing director Gaetano Turrisi said liveability was the top priority in the design.

&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;

The renowned architecture firm Rothelowman designed the tower, which will comprise two and three bedroom apartments, as well as small collection of&nbsp;four bedroom penthouses which will each have their own rooftop decks with&nbsp;a spa, kitchen, living and dining facilities.

The 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.

&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.

The 34-level project, to be delivered by Polites Property Group and QNY Group, will home 29 full floor apartments, each with views of Main Beach.

&ldquo;Averaging $10,500 per sqm, La Mer provides exceptional value for money given the current prices of older-style second-hand apartments within the suburb.

&ldquo;Why wouldn&rsquo;t you wait for La Mer to be built and enjoy all the benefits of moving into a sophisticated yet effortless apartment where the best of acclaimed beachside living with a sea breeze is yours to be enjoyed.&rdquo;

Polites has a solid standing in the area having headed up Polites Property Group since 2015.

Polites says La Mer&rsquo;s air of affordable luxury will ensure the development becomes a. jewel in the suburb&rsquo;s high-end property crown.

La Mer, Main Beach apartment tower launch sales

In the 1930s the Old Burleigh Theatre&nbsp;was a popular cinema and&nbsp;dance hall.

The Goodwin Terrace building is now set to start its new life as a mixed-use development, with the Sydney-based developers Weiya Holdings&nbsp;receiving&nbsp;sign off from the Gold Coast Council to create a new local hotspot.

The development&nbsp;will be&nbsp;the first ever adaptive re-use of a building with heritage elements on the Gold Coast.

Weiya Holdings Managing Director Wei Wang said they are looking forward to bringing Burleigh Heads the innovative project.

&ldquo;It&rsquo;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&rsquo; most coveted beachfronts,&rdquo; Mr Wang said.

Sales are set to launch in the coming weeks for the residential component of the building, the 13-level apartment tower dubbed&nbsp;De-Luxe, named as a nod to the building&#39;s former life.&nbsp;

<img alt="" height="835" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/de_luxe_2.jpg" width="1200" />

That will sit above the existing two storey volume, which will home a street front retail arcade with modern cafe and retail tenancies.

There will be 30 apartments designed by the Brisbane-based architecture firm Conrad Gargett, who specialise in heritage restoration.

Conrad Gargett director John Flynn said the project is exceptionally unique.

&quot;It&#39;s unlike anything we&#39;ve ever seen on the Gold Coast&quot;, Flynn says.

&ldquo;The adaptive reuse of heritage elements aligns De-Luxe&rsquo;s design approach with matured planning schemes employed across some of the world&rsquo;s biggest cities, which is an incredible accolade to be bringing to Burleigh.

<img alt="" height="727" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/de_luxe_3.jpg" width="1200" />

&ldquo;It&rsquo;s difficult to get the cohesion between historic architecture and modern amenity just right, but I believe it&rsquo;s a balance we&rsquo;ve managed to strike with the design of De-Luxe.&rdquo;

Traces of the building&rsquo;s history will be woven throughout the redeveloped structure, including a colonnade of brick piers on the podium&rsquo;s western fa&ccedil;ade and public ground floor space showcasing snapshots and motion picture screen detailing the theatre&rsquo;s history and models highlighting the many phases of the building&rsquo;s life.

Patrick Pancur, sales and marketing manager from Weiya Holdings, has been appointed to market the project.

The development will be the first ever adaptive re-use of a building with heritage elements on the Gold Coast.

De-Luxe apartments set to tower over Old Burleigh Theatre site

The boutique apartment developments in the hot Palm Beach market just keep on coming.

The demand for bigger apartments has gone through the roof in the small enclave toward the south of the Gold Coast.

There&#39;s been <a href="/news/qld/sherpa-sell-out-palm-beach-apartment-development-perspective-two-sea">sell-outs at the nearby Perspective 488 and Perspective Two Sea</a>, the Palm Beach apartment developments by Sherpa.

Looking to jump on the demand in larger apartments at the pricier end of the market is the little-known Quahlee Property, which&nbsp;is linked to Christina Quinn, who along with her husband Tony Quinn founded the VIP Pet Foods empire.

<img alt="" height="753" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/215_jefferson_1.jpg" width="1200" />

An application has been submitted to the Gold Coast City Council for a nine level tower at 215&nbsp;Jefferson Lane, on the sought-after beach front side.

It will home&nbsp;just eight full floor apartments and a ground floor amenities level complete with&nbsp;a mineral pool with decking and sun lounges, and a sauna.

Contreras Earl Architecture have designed the shell-like tower.

&quot;The morphology and self-sufficiency of certain clam shell species inspired the curvaceous form of the apartment pods that read as individual elements horizontally,&quot; the architecture firm&#39;s design statement read.

<img alt="" height="745" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/215_jefferson_3.jpg" width="1200" />

&quot;These spacious one-per floor apartments provide an enticing alternative to single dwelling homes where residents will be able to experience sunlight and views from multiple aspects including towards the breath-taking white sand of Palm Beach and the Pacific Ocean beyond.

The two sites&nbsp;were previously made up by&nbsp;a two-storey house and a vacant lot.

The Design Statement

The 215-217 Jefferson Lane development is located in Palm Beach at the intersection of Jefferson Lane and Thirteenth Avenue, on two sites previously occupied by a two-storey house and a vacant lot. The corner site presents an opportunity to create a contextual gem nestled within the suburb drawing from the unique context, a beachside residential laneway.

The low-rise development consists of 8 boutique beachside apartments in a building of 9 levels. These spacious one-per floor apartments provide an enticing alternative to single dwelling homes where residents will be able to experience sunlight and views from multiple aspects including towards the breath-taking white sand of Palm Beach and the Pacific Ocean beyond. Inside the apartments outdoor spaces are seamlessly integrated with the internal spaces contributing to the overall feeling of openness and providing enhanced cross ventilation throughout all internal areas.

<a href="/developments/gold-coast-qld?source_news_article_id=102570&amp;ref=news_body_link"><img alt="" height="797" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/gc_newest_tile_jpeg_12.jpg" width="1200" /></a>

The allocation of extra large balconies in each apartment supports flexible living patterns and enables semi-outdoor living all-yearround in the sub-tropical climate. The building design (interior and exterior) responds to multiple site parameters such as orientation, context, environment and public realm integration. The directionality and openness of the building towards the ocean was of primary importance, driving the design process. The location of the core and stairs towards the south-west fa&ccedil;ade work to maximise privacy and the amount of open space available towards the favorable North East aspect.

The refined shape and form of the building is the result of a responsiveness to the parameters mentioned. The resultant building allows for an interesting tension between solidity and transparency allowing for enclosure and openness from within protecting from unfavourable conditions (western sun, southerly winds, potential overlooking neighboring buildings) and opens and embraces the favourable summer breezes and beautiful views to the beach. The morphology and self-sufficiency of certain clam shell species inspired the curvaceous form of the apartment pods that read as individual elements horizontally.

The elegant facade articulation derives from the recognized need to give the project more privacy towards the southern neighbour as well as protect the building envelope from prevailing winter winds, providing an enclosed side and an anchor point for the apartments to open and extend towards the northern and eastern facades.

The continuous curvilinear shading device provides climatic control and reduces heat loads and also allows for protection from prevailing winter winds. Visually this shade device creates individual pods per apartment and provides a high level of modulation and presents an attractive sculptural interface to the south east corner. Planters to the North protect and bring privacy as well as bringing greenery to the building helping it to touch lightly and integrate with the ground plane.

This iconic corner will create a unique sense of arrival to the prospering suburb of Palm Beach on approach from Jefferson Lane as well as a beautiful visual addition from Gold Coast Highway and the pedestrian experience will be optimised through the active engagement of the ground plane with street orientated landscape solutions. This new landmark will be an engaging architectural asset for the urban fabric of the coastal city.

The demand for bigger apartments has gone through the roof in the small enclave toward the south of the Gold Coast.

Prices will range from $450,000 to $2 million in the&nbsp;Palm Beach residential project which will comprising 78 apartments over 14 levels. The penthouse is priced at $4 million.

Rothelowman&nbsp;have designed the tower which has been described as&nbsp;a multi-storey reimagining of the area&rsquo;s humble holiday shacks from the late 1950s and 1960s.

Named&nbsp;after the famous author&nbsp;Ernest Hemingway, Hemingway is located at 1267-1273 Gold Coast Highway and&nbsp;will front the&nbsp;exclusive Jefferson Lane beachfront enclave.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=24532 project_image_fid=86676]

Matt George, Hirsch &amp; Faigen&rsquo;s head of sales and marketing,&nbsp;said they were determined to push the bounds of architectural design to pay homage to the charming beach shacks while exuding contemporary design excellence.

&ldquo;We went above and beyond to make it feel as though each apartment was its own full scale beach house, just mere metres away from the water&rsquo;s edge while boasting those luxury finishes that makes the home feel like an indulgent retreat,&rdquo; George said.

Residents of Hemingway will have access to a range of lifestyle amenities including its own ground-level caf&eacute; and communal open space with a swimming pool, pool lounge, barbeque area and outdoor cinema.
