Repeat buyers are one of the strongest measures of confidence in any apartment development.

At <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/era-newcastle-west-124-126-bull-street-newcastle-west-nsw-2302">ERA</a> in Newcastle West, some purchasers are returning to <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/gwh">GWH</a> after living at the developer's One Apartments. Their decision to purchase again was driven by the quality of life they found after moving into their first GWH home.

Keith Wilton had spent years living in a house in East Maitland before deciding it was time for a change. Apartment living had always been on his radar, but he was selective about what he wanted.

"I had some boxes I wanted to tick," he says.

Keith points to the open-plan design, generous outdoor areas and considered inclusions as key reasons One Apartments worked for him.

“One of those things was a nice indoor open plan area, but also I wanted a nice outdoor open area that I could entertain on in summer or Christmases or birthdays,” he says.

He also found value in the smaller details, from integrated appliances to shared resident spaces including the pool, cinema and rooftop areas.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=135096 project_image_fid=356818]

After comparing several developments, he chose One Apartments because of GWH's longstanding local reputation and his own experience working with the developer on a commercial project more than a decade earlier.

"I knew that they were local, that the quality of the build was going to be up there. I'd looked at other apartment complexes around and close by, and I just knew that here was a better decision location wise."

Today, Keith says the move has completely changed how he experiences Newcastle.

"I enjoy living in this location because it's more of a lifestyle change. That Newcastle city living where you can walk to restaurants and bars and even beaches and parks and even shopping across the road."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=135096 project_image_fid=356828]

Beyond the location, he says it's the sense of community that has surprised him most.

"Everyone loves living here because they chose to live here, but everyone looks out for each other. It's a real great community feel here."

For Aimee and Lyle Goodman, the journey started almost by chance.

<iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/tsioMLcnjas?si=zq-ys3JuWpfa5hFv" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe>

The couple happened to be having coffee in Newcastle when they noticed the site where One Apartments was about to begin construction.

"We were aware GWH was planning a development," Aimee says. "We made one phone call and things moved pretty quickly after that."

As busy business owners, they initially thought apartment living would simply reduce the maintenance that came with larger homes. Instead, it fundamentally changed how they spent time together.

"We actually catch up more as a family now," Aimee says.

"We've had homes with big yards and lots of space, but everyone ended up in different rooms. Here we'll have dinner together, the kids can play, and we spend far more quality time together."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=135096 project_image_fid=356829]

Lyle says their confidence came from GWH's reputation within Newcastle's building industry.

"I know people who've worked across different apartment projects, and whenever GWH came up the feedback was always the same. They're rock solid. They're quality."

That confidence only grew throughout the buying process.

"One of the things that really impressed us with GWH was the whole process, was the communication," Lyle says. "It was consistent, it was regular, there was no problem if we had some weird questions, there was no problems in getting answers."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=135096 project_image_fid=351104]

Aimee says one moment stood out.

"The project actually finished on time. We realised we needed to hurry up and sell our house because everything was happening exactly when they said it would."

The positive experience at One Apartments ultimately gave all three buyers the confidence to purchase again with GWH, this time at ERA.

Their confidence reflects what many buyers are seeking in today's apartment market. Location remains important, but so too does certainty around delivery, quality and long-term liveability.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=135096 project_image_fid=356822]

ERA builds on those foundations with 280 one, two and three-bedroom apartments across two landmark towers in <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/newcastle-west-nsw-2302">Newcastle West</a>.&nbsp;

Designed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/fk-australia">Fender Katsalidis</a>, the project will include more than 2,000 square metres of resident amenities, including a resort-style pool, gym, sauna, private cinema and rooftop entertaining spaces overlooking the harbour and coastline.&nbsp;

The development is also within walking distance of the Newcastle Interchange, Honeysuckle, Darby Street, the harbour foreshore, restaurants, retail and the city’s beaches, continuing the walkable lifestyle that existing GWH buyers say has transformed how they live.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=135096 project_image_fid=356826]

For Keith, the appeal remains straightforward.

"You feel at home even before you've moved into your home."

For Aimee, the change is measured in time.

“I just felt like I had more time,” she says.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=135096 project_image_fid=351102]

Construction at ERA is now underway, with more than half of the residences already sold and limited two and three-bedroom apartments remaining in the East Tower release. Priced from $980,000 for two-bedroom residences and $1.46 million for three-bedroom residences, buyers can secure an apartment with a 10 per cent deposit, with premium homes offering ocean views from Level 8 and harbour views from Level 10.

ERA is also backed by Resilience Insurance's 10-year Latent Defects Insurance policy, providing protection against structural or waterproofing defects for 10 years after completion. The project is anticipated to be completed in early 2028.

From ONE to ERA: Why buyers are choosing GWH again in Newcastle West

Virgate Property Group is preparing to commence construction of Verdé, its new apartment development in Melbourne's Arts Precinct at Southbank, following a strong run of sales that has seen more than half of the project's 173 apartments secured.

Verdé has attracted a broad mix of first home buyers, owner-occupiers upgrading from nearby inner-city suburbs and investors, with younger owner-occupier couples aged between 28 and 45 accounting for the strongest enquiry. Many are already living in Southbank, South Melbourne, Albert Park, Port Melbourne, South Yarra and the CBD.

"Verdé is located in one of the most desirable pockets of southern Melbourne," Blair Property Group Director Darren Blair, who is managing sales at Verdé, said.

"It's within walking distance of the Arts Centre, Royal Botanic Gardens, Albert Park Lake, and Southbank's restaurants and retail. It's a great lifestyle location with strong amenity and liveability, which made it a very attractive choice for the project."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=4661 project_image_fid=372549]

Virgate was already familiar with the precinct, having previously delivered the successful Domain House development in neighbouring South Melbourne. That experience gave the developer confidence to acquire the Coventry Street site and continue expanding its presence in Melbourne's inner south.

"We had been keeping an eye on the site and the broader precinct for a few months before deciding to move forward with the acquisition," Virgate said.

The project was ultimately secured in 2020 following feasibility studies, planning assessments and due diligence, with the brief centred on delivering "a high-quality, considered design that feels both refined and fit for purpose."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=4661 project_image_fid=314259]

Designed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/bruce-henderson-architects">Bruce Henderson Architects</a>, Verdé comprises 173 one, two and three-bedroom apartments priced from $599,000. The architecture is distinguished by a faceted glass façade that responds to both the site's outlook and Melbourne's changing light conditions.

According to Bruce Henderson Architects, the coloured glazing gives the building a distinctive identity while also providing privacy and solar shading, with residences oriented to capture views across the bay, city skyline and surrounding parklands.

Inside, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/interior-designers/designoffice">DesignOffice</a> has created interiors focused on natural light, efficient planning and enduring materials. Apartments feature engineered oak flooring, natural stone benchtops, floor-to-ceiling glazing and SMEG appliances, while a restrained material palette aims to complement the expansive outlooks rather than compete with them.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=4661 project_image_fid=372550]

Resident amenity has also been designed around everyday functionality rather than occasional use. Facilities include a concierge-serviced lobby, residents' lounge with fireplace, library and co-working space, gym, terrace garden with barbecue facilities, ground-floor café, and package delivery management.

The project's location continues to be one of its strongest drawcards. Positioned on Coventry Street, Verdé sits within walking distance of the National Gallery of Victoria, Arts Centre Melbourne, Royal Botanic Gardens and Albert Park Lake, while Southbank's dining precinct, Sturt Street trams and the new ANZAC Station are all nearby. The surrounding education catchment also includes Melbourne Grammar, Melbourne Girls Grammar, Mac.Robertson Girls' High School and several major university campuses.

The sales team says buyers have responded particularly well to the combination of location, design quality and long-term liveability.

"They're responding really positively to the quality of the design, premium resident amenities and the uninterrupted views. Many also appreciate the location and how connected it is to everything they need."

The ability to secure stamp duty savings before completion has also been a key factor for purchasers, alongside the opportunity to personalise finishes ahead of settlement.

With construction set to commence soon and more than half the apartments already sold, Verdé enters its next phase as one of the Arts Precinct's more established apartment developments, offering remaining buyers an opportunity to secure a residence before construction advances further. Expected completion is scheduled for late 2027.

Virgate's Verdé Southbank moves toward construction as sales fly past halfway stage

Downsizer-focused apartment development Kooyongkoot in Hawthorn has been recognised at the 2026 Better Future Melbourne Design Awards, taking home Gold and Silver awards in two categories.

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/kooyongkoot-hawthorn-1-kooyongkoot-road-hawthorn-vic-3122">Kooyongkoot</a>, currently being delivered by developer PQD and designed by Cera Stribley, received Gold in the Interior Design – Proposed category and Silver in the Architecture – Proposed category.

The dual recognition reflects the design approach behind the boutique development on prestigious Kooyongkoot Road, where the focus has been on creating homes for downsizers seeking the space, quality and functionality of a detached house within a low-rise apartment building.

Rather than maximising apartment numbers, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/pqd">PQD</a> and <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/cera-stribley-architects">Cera Stribley</a> limited the development to just 18 residences, allowing for larger floorplans, greater privacy, generous landscaping and expansive communal spaces.&nbsp;The majority of the apartments also benefit from corner aspects, allowing for dual sources of natural light.

Now around 70 per cent complete and on track for completion in November 2026, Kooyongkoot will comprise a mix of garden residences, ter​race apartments, sub-penthouses, and is crowned by two half-floor penthouses with direct lift access and private rooftop terraces.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=102717 project_image_fid=355297]

The Silver Award for Architecture recognised the way the building responds to its prominent corner position at the ent​rance to Hawthorn's Scotch Hill precinct, one of Melbourne's most established residential neighbourhoods.

Rather than competing with the grand homes that line Kooyongkoot Road, the architectural approach focused on restraint and longevity, using curved brickwork, generous landscaping and carefully considered proportions to integrate with the existing streetscape.

"The form feels fluid and timeless, as though shaped by the landscape itself – architecture that belongs, rather than competes," said Chris Stribley, Co-Founder and Managing Principal of Cera Stribley.

The judging submission also highlighted practical innovations throughout the building, including lift cores servicing only nine homes each, a central landscaped lightcourt designed to bring daylight and ventilation into the building, and fully enclosed private storage rooms with lighting, power and shelving to better accommodate residents transitioning from larger family homes.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=102717 project_image_fid=355293]

The Gold Award for Interior Design recognised the project's focus on long-term liveability rather than display-home aesthetics.

According to the awards submission, the interiors were designed from the inside out, prioritising how homes would function over decades of daily use through generous proportions, practical storage, durable natural materials and flexible layouts.

The specification includes natural stone throughout, upgraded acoustic glazing, V-ZUG appliances and fully enclosed storage rooms, alongside an amenity offering focused on wellness, entertainment and everyday convenience.&nbsp;

Residents will have access to a gym and yoga studio, a wellness centre featuring traditional and infrared saunas, a cold therapy shower and treatment room, as well as a residents' lounge and golf simulator/cinema room for entertainment.&nbsp;Kooyongkoot has also considered the everyday convenience of its residents by offering a private carwash and pet wash facilities on site as well as dedicated parcel lockers and oversized fully enclosed storage rooms.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=102717 project_image_fid=355303]

The project's attention to detail has already resonated with buyers. Earlier this year, Kooyongkoot recorded one of Boroondara's highest apartment sales when an $8 million penthouse was purchased by a Melbourne CEO downsizing from a nearby family home.

"Every detail feels deliberate, from the overall design down to the smallest touches," the purchaser said.

"The level of quality and refinement is exceptional, but what really sold it was how liveable it felt... It felt like a place where everything had been considered, not just a luxury building."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=102717 project_image_fid=355304]

Sustainability also formed a key part of both award submissions. Kooyongkoot is targeting a minimum 7.5-star NatHERS rating across all residences, supported by passive design principles, high-performance glazing, EV charging infrastructure, water reuse systems and a wellness model focused on lower-energy dry facilities rather than pools and large wet areas.

Located within walking distance of Scotch College, Methodist Ladies' College, Koo​yong Lawn Tennis Club, Aubur​n Village and Camberwell Junction, Kooyongkoot continues to target owner-occupiers looking to remain in Melbourne's inner east without compromising on space or quality. A limited selection of two, three and four-bedroom residences remains available, with prices starting from $1.9 million.

Kooyongkoot wins Gold and Silver at Better Future Melbourne Design Awards

New apartment supply has become increasingly constrained across <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/parramatta-nsw-2150">Parramatta</a> in recent years, with fewer projects progressing through to completion as development conditions have become more challenging.

It makes <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/novm">NOVM</a>'s 2021-completed <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/buildings/the-lennox-parramatta-12-phillip-street-parramatta-nsw-2150">The Lennox</a> one of the most recently completed residential towers on the Parramatta River, and among the newest apartment developments in Sydney's second CBD.

With the project largely completed before the sharp escalation in construction costs and inflation following the pandemic, The Lennox is now offering pricing that would be difficult to replicate in a comparable new development in Parramatta today, or across much of Western Sydney.

The majority of the 413 apartments at The Lennox sold before and shortly after completion. A limited release of the remaining apartments has recently been brought to market by capital partner <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/project-marketer/equitifund-group">Equitifund</a>, with entry-level pricing from $700,000 and two-bedroom apartments available from under $1 million.

Rising above the Parramatta River at 12 Phillip Street, The Lennox comprises one, two, three and four-bedroom apartments, appealing to first home buyers, young professionals, families, downsizers and interstate investors seeking a completed apartment in one of Australia's fastest-growing economic centres.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=5743 project_image_fid=372394]

Rather than positioning Parramatta as an alternative to Sydney's CBD, Equitifund believes the city has reached a point where it stands on its own merits.

"Parramatta is no longer simply an alternative to Sydney CBD, it's becoming a destination in its own right," Equitifund Executive Chairman Greg Huxley said.

"The Lennox captures that evolution with a level of quality and amenity that's difficult to match at its price point."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=5743 project_image_fid=953]

Designed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/marchese-partners">Marchese Partners</a>, the tower responds directly to its riverfront setting through expansive glazing and open-plan layouts that maximise views across the Parramatta River and city skyline. Interiors feature engineered timber flooring, stone benchtops, stainless steel appliances and floor-to-ceiling glazing, while generous balconies extend the living spaces outdoors.

Marchese Partners says the project was conceived to balance high-quality apartment living with practical, long-term functionality, pairing larger, efficient floorplans with amenities more commonly associated with five-star hotels.

That emphasis continues through the resident facilities, which include a 20-metre rooftop swimming pool, fully equipped gym and wellness spaces, full-time concierge, a residents' lounge, function room, private lifts, secure basement parking and rooftop communal areas overlooking the Parramatta River. Ground-floor boardwalk retail and dining further activate the riverfront and integrate the building into the surrounding public realm.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=5743 project_image_fid=925]

Australian housing and finance group Equitifund has secured the remaining apartments, believing there are few completed apartment opportunities in Parramatta that offer the same combination of location, amenity and pricing.

Equitifund National Sales Director Ben Hamblett says buyers are increasingly recognising that premium apartment living no longer needs to come with Sydney CBD pricing.

"The Lennox is where aspirational living becomes attainable," Hamblett said.

"Wake to river and mountain views, step into Sydney's Second CBD, and arrive home to resort-calibre amenities, all without the harbour price tag."

Hamblett says owner-occupiers are also attracted by the convenience of having Westfield Parramatta, Church Street's dining precinct, Parramatta Park, Riverside Theatres, Western Sydney University and major transport connections all within walking distance.

"At The Lennox, lifestyle is not an afterthought, it is the foundation."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=5743 project_image_fid=5374]

The Lennox places residents within walking distance of Parramatta Square, Westfield Parramatta, Church Street Eat Street, Parramatta Station, the ferry wharf, Light Rail, the future Sydney Metro West, Parramatta Park and CommBank Stadium, reinforcing Parramatta's position as one of Australia's most connected metropolitan centres outside Sydney's CBD.

Equitifund says buyers visiting the display suite consistently comment on the quality of the finishes, generous floorplans, river and skyline views, and the walkability of the location. The project has attracted a broad mix of local professionals, upsizers, downsizers, buyers relocating from Sydney's inner suburbs and interstate investors seeking long-term growth opportunities.

That demand aligns with Parramatta's continued evolution as an economic powerhouse. Equitifund Research and Market Insights specialist John Bekiaris says sustained population growth, infrastructure investment and expanding employment opportunities continue to support long-term housing demand across the city.

"Parramatta has evolved from a satellite city into one of Australia's most important economic centres. Population growth, infrastructure investment and employment are all supporting sustained long-term housing demand."

The apartment price gap drawing Sydney buyers west

A luxury beachfront apartment at Rainbow Bay has more than doubled in value since it sold off the plan six years ago, setting a new local apartment record in the process.

The three-bedroom apartment in the Flow development on Petrie Street, the first of four new projects locally by Paul Gedoun's S&amp;S Projects, has sold for $7.4 million, after originally selling for $3.27 million when the project launched in 2020.

The seventh-floor apartment, comprising 187 sqm of internal living space and a 54 sqm balcony overlooking Froggies Beach and Snapper Rocks, was purchased by a local family.

The transaction was negotiated by Pezet Matheson director Kerry Pezet and equates to more than $30,000 per sqm.

Pezet said the sale reflected the limited opportunities to buy into the boutique beachfront development.

"The sale highlights the rarity of opportunities within the boutique beachfront development, where residences seldom become available," Pezet said.

"Flow is one of the Gold Coast's most tightly held buildings. Buyers from our database move quickly when residences become available, and achieving an off-market sale at $7.4 million demonstrates the depth of demand for property of this calibre."

<img alt="Flow" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="c585b206-2130-4eee-a50c-3f27c51a7c70" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-07-06%20at%208.33.25%E2%80%AFPM.png?VersionId=m3pHRDV62Y3fvN.XQuQHq.52ilTWpRLf" />

Flow was the first of four luxury apartment developments delivered by Paul Gedoun's S&amp;S Projects at Rainbow Bay and was completed in 2023.

Positioned on the beachfront overlooking Snapper Rocks, the residence includes three bedrooms, three bathrooms, a powder room and views stretching north along the coastline towards Surfers Paradise.

Pezet Matheson Residential principal Mitchell Lambert said buyers continued to prioritise quality beachfront apartments in tightly held locations.

"Flow Residences offers a rare combination of elevated beachfront positioning, architectural excellence, comprehensive resident amenity and premium finishes, which is exactly what discerning purchasers are seeking," Lambert said.

"The transaction further reinforces Rainbow Bay's reputation as one of Australia's premier coastal lifestyle destinations, where limited supply and growing demand continue to support strong market performance."

Pezet Matheson originally marketed and sold out Flow off the plan, making the latest transaction a return to one of the project's original buyers.

Paul Gedoun is selling his third project, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/radia-rainbow-bay-271-boundary-street-coolangatta-qld-4225">Radia Rainbow Bay</a>, after recently completing, and selling out, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/buildings/esprit-217-227-boundary-street-coolangatta-qld-4225">Esprit</a>.

Gold Coast Apartments

Luxury penthouse offerings have become a must within Gold Coast apartment developments, and the latest project by Pacific View is stepping up to the plate with Navini.&nbsp;

Situated within the sought-after suburb of Bilinga, Navini takes advantage of its beachfront position, nestled between Currumbin and Coolangatta, and the village-like atmosphere of Tugun.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=113047 project_image_fid=206626]

Spanning two levels, Navini delivers two penthouses, the North and South Penthouse, which sit atop a further 13 apartments.&nbsp;

Delivering an expansive 445 sqm of living space, access to the residences is via a direct lift, with the crowning jewels of the project designed to embrace the indulgent sense of lifestyle penthouse living is supposed to offer.&nbsp;

Designed by Boker Architecture and the award-winning studio Boris Design, the penthouses feature four-bedrooms, in addition to four-bathrooms and two car spaces, with residents set to benefit from further amenity in the form of an exclusive rooftop master suite and private plunge pool.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=113047 project_image_fid=206632]

The expansive living spaces are made up of a refined palette inspired by the neighbouring coastline, with custom joinery, timber flooring, stone benchtops and premium Miele appliance fitting out the residences.&nbsp;

Construction is due to kick off shortly on the project, with Groupline Construction set to bring over 60 years of experience to the build.&nbsp;

Completion of Navini is slated for the second half of 2024.

Inside the expansive penthouses crowning Navini, Bilinga 

With limited land available in popular suburbs in southeast Queensland, skinny apartment towers have become a popular choice for developers seeking to make the most of small sites.

International architecture firm, Plus Architecture, has designed six slender towers in some of the Gold Coast's most desirable areas, with the projects set to be built within the next five years, demonstrating a new wave of high-rise design that optimises limited land to create luxurious living experiences.

According to Plus Architecture Principal, Chrisney Formosa, the slender tower concept is well-suited to luxury multi-residential projects. The design allows for full floor or two-story apartments with 360-degree views, providing residents with the benefits of a standalone house, plus more.

“Very small sites present an opportunity for unique architectural solutions as they require an individualised design approach. In the high-end property market, being able to deliver a boutique design that is highly customised to the site is what helps a project truly stand out,” Formosa said.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=95606 project_image_fid=209221]

“Beyond that, skinny towers also easily allow for full floor or two-story apartments with 360-degree views, making them a prime solution for luxury multi-residential coastal living – offering all the benefits of a standalone house and more.”

When it comes to boutique apartment tower design, we need to think out of the ordinary, Formosa said.

“That means exploring doing things differently – reimagining how we can use those smaller sites to their best potential to ensure they become a valuable addition to the urban streetscape. La Mer is a great example of this.”

The boutique apartment tower at La Mer, a joint venture between Polites Property Group and QNY Group in Main Beach, is a prime example of the skinny tower trend.

The boutique apartment tower is located in arguably one of the Gold Coast’s most iconic locations: Main Beach, a small enclave of properties in an exclusive reserve surrounded by water.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=110953 project_image_fid=209073]

Redesigned by Plus Architecture, La Mer features 20 apartments, including one of the largest penthouses in Main Beach, each oriented to capture ocean views.

“Unique to La Mer is that half the tower comprises double-storey, fully customisable sub penthouses, a boutique approach made possible by the slender design. More of a ‘sky home’ and less of an apartment, these vertical residences are elevated far above the typical apartment living experience.”

At Nineteen First Avenue, a 38-story development of 35 apartments in the beachside precinct of Broadbeach, every aspect of the architecture has been designed to deliver luxury.

The pinched-in tower shape maximises views and light, while the overlapping rippled forms, inspired by the interaction of water, wind, and sand, deliver a dynamic and graceful design.

A design palette of soft textures, vertical aluminium screening, textured concrete, and a verdant landscaped ground floor entry combine to deliver a luxurious residential experience.

When it comes to boutique apartment tower design, we need to think out of the ordinary, Plus Architecture Principal, Chrisney Formosa says

Why Queensland’s skinny tower trend is redefining luxury apartment design

Sitting alongside Aniko’s sold out Athena Residences, Athena Quays comprises two eight-level towers with 177 apartments. &nbsp;

Launching to the market in 2022, sales for the Athena Quays towers have been strong, with both towers now sitting at 90 per cent sold.

One of the reasons driving buyers to Aniko’s waterfront development is the in-house amenities on offer.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=109922 project_image_fid=207989]

Taking inspiration from the finest resorts across the globe, Athena Quays is home to a plentiful array of convenient and recreational amenity offerings.

Sales and Marketing Director,&nbsp;Peter Malady said the residents-only&nbsp;facilities are designed for those who insist on convenience, quality and luxury.

"From the secluded courtyard garden to a suite of private office facilities, Athena Quays in-house amenities are second to none,” Malady said.&nbsp;

When it comes to contemporary urban living, Aniko have recognised the importance of nourishing the mind, body and soul, incorporating a resident’s only recreation club into Athena Quays.&nbsp;

The towers will also feature a state-of-the-art private gym, along with two swimming pools, an outdoor heated spa, a sauna, a yoga and pilates hall, sun lounges, barbecue facilities, a pet wash bay, a children’s indoor play room, and a resident’s lounge. &nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=109922 project_image_fid=207990]

A full-equipped entertainment suite features a 14-seat screening room, as well as a resident’s lounge, and thanks to an on-site manager, a number of the spaces can be conveniently booked through the in-house service 24/7.&nbsp;

Hope Island remains a highly sought-after suburb for local downsizers and increasingly for interstate buyers making the move to the Gold Coast.

Only a handful of large luxury, waterfront sky homes remain, priced from $1.25 million through to $1.995 million, all benefitting from multiple car parking spaces.&nbsp;

Nothing breeds confidence in the off the plan property market like firm construction timelines.

Completion dates can be the overarching factor in a prospective buyer's decision to purchase or not.

In the off the plan purchasing journey, most buyers have an idea when they want their new property to be ready, and will base the timelines of their current living situation around that.

A number of projects on the Gold Coast are at development application stage, and there are a number which are approved but are waiting for two factors; market conditions to change to become slightly more favourable based on their product mix, and build costs to come down a little further before announcing they're on the market.

We've wrapped up the top apartment projects currently aiming for a 2024 completion date.

<h2>Project: Orama 
Location:&nbsp;Chevron Island&nbsp; 
Developer: Aniko Group</h2>

The site is also located on the sought-after eastern side of Chevron Island, which makes it just a short 950 metre walk over the bridge to the heart of Surfers Paradise.

102 apartments will be constructed within the tower, which Aniko is tipping to be completed by late 2024.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=111898 project_image_fid=209594]

Six residences will take up a spot across each floor, with the lower levels comprising two-bed, two-bath configurations, while the higher levels will feature three-bedroom skyhomes and two penthouses.&nbsp;

Plus Architecture has designed the tower, which will feature a sprawling rooftop recreation area overlooking Surfers Paradise.&nbsp;

The entire 21st level will house a lap pool and spa with 180 degree views across the ocean, a gym with a sauna and a yoga space, and a business lounge with private offices, booths, and a boardroom.

The coastal suburb of Bokarina on the Sunshine Coast has experienced a renaissance of late, with a number of developers buying up site’s across the pristine stretch of coast line.&nbsp;

Gardner Vaughan Group’s beachside project, Zinc is the latest to tap into the potential of the suburb, which greatly benefits from its relatively new status, boasting a broad range of supermarkets, restaurants, cafes and shops.&nbsp;

The Sunshine Coast region is known for its natural beauty and outdoor recreational opportunities, with Zinc located nearby to a number of parks and nature reserves, such as the Glass House Mountains National Park, where residents can hike, bike or camp across the grounds. The nearby Pumicestone Passage is also a popular spot among locals for fishing and boating.

The group, led by CEO Sam Arnaout, are constructing two towers at the 20 Albert Street site, Victoria Residences and Albert Residences, named after the prime site location on the corner of Victoria Street and Albert Avenue.

They will home a combined 401 apartments that will take in all the best the beachside suburb has to offer, with over 50 restaurants and cafes within 300-metres of the doors of Victoria &amp; Albert.&nbsp;

&nbsp;

Part of the $800 million project will see a huge new commercial centre built beneath residents, which will become Broadbeach's premier retail and dining precinct.

With an array of beaches a mere stroll from the steps of Victoria &amp; Albert, including Kurrawa and Mermaid Beach, residents will be hard pressed to find a reason to venture too far.&nbsp;

“V&amp;A is arguably the Gold Coast’s most walkable new address. Everything you need is at your fingertips,” Arnaout said.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=107928 project_image_fid=198884]

“V&amp;A is attracting premium buyers looking for that magical combination of lifestyle, amenity and location.”

While there will be retail on their doorstep, the landmark&nbsp;Pacific Fair Shopping Centre is just a 10-minute walk away. Even closer is the Oasis Shopping Mall, located right across from V&amp;A and is home to a range of boutiques, eateries, and a supermarket.&nbsp;

Broadbeach North light rail station is a five-minute walk from V&amp;A, providing both tram and bus links to the wider Gold Coast region, with key links to the neighbouring Helensvale as well as the Gold Coast University Hospital.&nbsp;

Broadbeach is known for its lively nightlife, with a number of bars, clubs, and casinos located within the neighbourhood, including The Star, which is just 700-metres from the site.&nbsp;

Gold Coast developer Andrews Projects has seen huge success at it's recently launched Robina residential community, Cascade.

The family-owned Andrews Projects, led by prominent developer Danny Andrews, has secured $125 million in pre-sales at the $250 million project at 116 Lavar Drive, in the heart of Robina.

Andrews Projects Sales Manager, Sarah Andrews, said Cascade is a landmark project for the group, in both scale and opportunity.&nbsp;

“It was important for us to continue to offer the level of quality our buildings are known for, while expanding our commitment to the future of living on the Gold Coast,” Andrews said.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=135618 project_image_fid=208704]

Andrews Projects secured the 1.17-hectare site back in 2021, lodging plans to construct two boutique 15-storey towers across it earlier this year.&nbsp;

“Located just metres from ‘Greenheart’, a council initiative to invigorate 17-hectares of parkland at Stadium Drive, Cascade will undoubtedly play an important role in the future of residential development in Robina," Andrews added.

Offering a mix of two, three and four-bedroom apartments, Cascade has been designed for the owner occupier, with buyers set to experience a collection of world-class amenity as well.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=135618 project_image_fid=208703]

A 25-metre magnesium pool, gym, spa pool and sauna form part of the state-of-the-art wellness centre, while generous landscaping complements the lush communal areas which include an amphitheatre and private poolside cabanas.

Extensive amenity was a key component when Aniko Group were putting together plans for their maiden Chevron Island apartment tower, Orama.

Working with Plus Architecture, Aniko have produced an impressive set of facilities for future residents of Orama, and they're all located on the roof.

They're offering a range of indoor and outdoor spaces, with 180 degree ocean views across Surfers Paradise and the Gold Coast waterways.

The 550 sqm rooftop on level 21 will feature a striking lap pool and spa, which take in the best views.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=111898 project_image_fid=209597]

A gym, sauna, and a yoga space form a wellness-style zone, while there's extensive work from home facilities in the form of private offices, booths, and even a boardroom.

A number of indoor and outdoor dining spaces will also feature.

George Mastrocostas, Aniko Group's Founder and Managing Director, believes that the inclusion of amenity in the modern day enhances the desirability of a property and contributes to the pleasure and enjoyment of residents.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=111898 project_image_fid=209594]

"Amenities play a major role in a purchasers choice," Mastrocostas said.

"For many buyers, the amenities are a key deciding factor when comparing projects of a similar scale or nature, as society continues to prioritise convenience in their everyday lives.

"This has lead Aniko Group to ensure we incorporate a range of amenities in our residential apartment projects, which can be seen with the inclusions on the Orama rooftop."

Orama, which translate to 'vision' in Ancient Greek, will comprise 102 apartments, targeting a mainly owner-occupiers demographic, with a mix of two-bedroom apartments, three-bedroom skyhomes, and two luxury penthouses.&nbsp;

Mastrocostas says that when you purchase an Aniko apartment, you are purchasing more than simply a place to arrive after work. You are purchasing a personal haven rich in social infrastructure.

"Aniko derives from the Greek word 'to belong'," Mastrocostas said.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=111898 project_image_fid=209175]

"We aim to create a sense of community and belonging in all our projects and this is achieved primarily through engaging people in some form and that’s where amenities play a vital role.

"They give residents an opportunity to meet other people that live there and use the amenities, hence helping form a sense of community and belonging."

Orama is Aniko's first foray on Chevron Island, having extensively redeveloped Hope Island with their&nbsp;$125 million Athena Residences, $145 million Athena Quays, and the $56 million 35 Grant Ave Residences.

They've also recently unveiled plans for a <a href="/news/qld/aniko-lodge-plans-for-1-5-billion-mermaid-beach-development">landmark $1.5 billion four-tower project at Mermaid Beach</a>, just across the road from Pacific Fair.&nbsp;

Inside the completed Park Shore residences 

One of the most prestigious residential apartment projects to hit the shores of Australia has officially launched to market.&nbsp;

The $250 million Masthead Ocean Club has already been inundated with inquiry,&nbsp;developed in a joint venture by the highly-credentialed Australian businessman, Rory O'Brien and UK-based Banda, which is a world leading interior design studio and development business, founded by the husband of Princess Beatrice, Edo Mapelli Mozzi.

Edo Mapelli Mozzi founded Banda in 2007 and has grown the company from niche London developer into burgeoning global design practice, known for crafting environments which are both intrinsically beautiful and functional.

“This project forms part of Banda’s evolution and global expansion journey. We currently have projects underway in London, New York, Doha, San Salvador, Alps, and all over Europe,” said Mozzi.

“We had been looking for the right opportunity to bring us to Australia and Masthead is absolutely the project we’ve been waiting for.”

<img alt="Render of Masthead" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="6d3625e8-a224-4626-9979-cbb182dec5c6" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Masthead.jpg?VersionId=xbW_7RiAJumRs3qMhBSAr5xiXxR0Stmq" />Render of Masthead Ocean Club. Image supplied.&nbsp;

28 whole-floor apartments are on offer in the project, including one penthouse, two sub penthouses and five Sky Homes, which have been exclusively designed by Banda, with the further 20 residences, which capture sweeping and protected views of the Pacific Ocean, Broadwater and Hinterland, designed by Australian-based group, Mim Design.

Each whole floor apartment in Masthead Ocean Club will provide 317 sqm of luxury living, picturesque views from every room, private direct and secure lift access, double garaging, outstanding interior design, and state-of-the-art technology.&nbsp;

The two ultra-deluxe sub penthouses crown the development, spanning a massive 634 sqm each, topped by the grand penthouse, which flaunts over 1000 sqm of living, including its own pool, gym, golf putting green and more.&nbsp;

BDA Architects have also been appointed as architects on the project, with O'Brien saying they have all worked merticulously as a team to create a truly spectacular development that promises a 7-star resort experience and ultra-luxe amenities.&nbsp;

“I am truly delighted to be working alongside Edo to launch this unprecedented product to the Gold Coast residential market, the likes of which has never been seen before in Australia," O'Brien said.&nbsp;

The development will be set in a prime position, adjacent to the beachfront at the highly coveted northern end of Main Beach, dubbed the ‘Golden Triangle’ for its proximity to premier lifestyle destinations.

The Southport Yacht Club and Superyacht Marina, Main Beach Surf Club, and Spit parklands each sit within a stone’s throw of the development, as well as Marina Mirage and the latest dining and entertainment precincts currently in the pipeline.

Masthead will also see the delivery of one of the world’s most elite in-house residents’ only clubs providing an ultra-luxe comprehensive amenities range, to be known as ‘The Ocean Club’.

With membership only accessible via a Masthead apartment purchase, the “Ocean Club” will encompass premium in-home facilities including a sophisticated wine and champagne lounge, whiskey and cigar room, private dining space, coffee bar, sky high library, and business meeting areas – all with panoramic ocean, coastal, and Hinterland views.

Members will also receive additional benefits from distinguished luxury brands including Chairman’s Club membership to Levantine Hill Winery in The Yarra Valley, participation in Newgate’s 2023 racing syndicate, which will also include attendance at select race days in Newgate’s own suite at Randwick Racecourse, and a complimentary new gleaming BMW electric car.

Residents will have 24/7 access to a health and wellness club where they can rejuvenate in a wet edge pool, spa, steam room, and sauna, while fitness enthusiasts can relish in a state-of- the-art world class gym and unwind in yoga and Pilates studios.

“No other project in Australia offers residents such extensive private and secure luxury facilities but shared amongst so few people - in our case just 28 owners. This is true prestige,” O’Brien added.&nbsp;

Highland, a full-service real estate company with more than 40 projects currently in market along the eastern seaboard from southern Sydney to the Gold Coast, has been appointed as the exclusive selling agent for Masthead Ocean Club, with CEO David Highland saying Masthead is the most exclusive residential offering available in Australia.&nbsp;

“In my view, members of Masthead Ocean Club will receive premium living, spectacular picturesque coastal views, state-of-the-art amenities, exclusive club membership, and real value for money," said Highland

“A purchase in Masthead which includes 650 sqm of Ocean Club, is like getting two apartments for the price of one."

“Never again will a product of this calibre be delivered to the Gold Coast. Masthead Ocean Club will offer buyers something very special and unique.”

Masthead has all approvals in place and construction is anticipated to commence in the coming months with completion scheduled for 2024.
