<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/chermside-qld-4032">Chermside</a> is better known for bus interchanges and Westfield than for high-end apartment towers. Kabbalah, on Playfield Street, is a deliberate push against that reputation.

Developed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/playfield-developments">Playfield Developments</a>, the building holds 64 apartments, all three and four bedrooms, across its 13 storeys. The apartments are generous by any measure: lower-floor three-bedrooms start at 164 sqm, each with a multi-purpose room and private balcony, while the north-facing penthouse stretches to 382 sqm. Every residence comes with two car spaces.

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/ana-architects">ANA Architects</a>, the Brisbane firm behind the 25-storey Willahra Tower on Queen Street and the 45-storey Mantra on Mary in the CBD, shaped the building around curved forms drawn from the natural landscape. Balcony gardens run throughout, with planter boxes worked into the private outdoor spaces of each apartment, giving residents greenery at the threshold rather than just at the rooftop.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=149578 project_image_fid=354319]

That rooftop carries its own weight: a pool, landscaped gardens, and outdoor entertaining areas sit above the city, designed as much for quiet evenings as for hosting. The wellness offering continues at ground level, where a centre with pool, sauna, and communal lounge zones anchors the building's other end. Together they give the building a rhythm, somewhere to arrive at the top and somewhere to retreat to below.

The site itself is part of the pitch. "One of the last available sites to develop in an established precinct," is how Playfield Developments describes the Playfield Street address, and the surrounding context backs that up. Westfield Chermside, the second largest Westfield in Australia, is within a few minutes on foot, along with its dining precinct and cinema complex.&nbsp;

The Chermside bus interchange connects directly to the Brisbane CBD and across the northern suburbs via more than 20 Translink routes, with the CBD roughly 15 minutes away by road. The Prince Charles Hospital, one of Queensland's major teaching hospitals and the state's leading cardiac centre, is roughly a kilometre up the road on Rode Road.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=149578 project_image_fid=354321]

Place Projects is handling sales, bringing a track record across some of Queensland's largest residential developments. Early buyer response has centred on the finishes and scale, "buyers consistently comment on the high-quality finishes throughout the apartments," the sales team notes, pointing to craftsmanship and considered design as the recurring draw.&nbsp;

"They're looking for generously sized apartments that offer both space and functionality, combined with a strong lifestyle offering," Place Projects says.

Construction has been awarded to Clearcon, with completion slated for late 2027. Pricing runs from $1.5 million for a lower-floor three-bedroom up to $3.65 million for the penthouse.

Playfield Developments brings 64 apartments to Chermside with Kabbalah

More than 3,000 dwellings are currently selling or gearing up to launch across Surfers Paradise, the suburb’s most concentrated apartment pipeline in years. At least eight projects are already in market, with more moving through registration and presale, creating a meaningful wave of new supply.

This isn’t happening in a vacuum. Strong interstate migration into Queensland, particularly the Gold Coast, continues to underpin demand, with the local population expected to push past 800,000 in the early 2030s.

We’re also seeing solid early-stage buyer activity. As usual, the earliest phases tend to offer the best mix of pricing and choice, before the more popular layouts get snapped up.

Apartment projects in Surfers Paradise are at various stages of their project lifecycle, from pre-launch, selling now, construction commenced, or construction complete.

Where you buy in that cycle matters.

	<li data-end="1542" data-section-id="d5c11p" data-start="1409">Registration and&nbsp;presale: Typically the lowest price points and best choice, but with longer wait times to completion</li>

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/exhale-surfers-paradise-8-enderley-avenue-surfers-paradise-qld-4217">Exhale</a> is the newest apartment development to launch in Surfers Paradise.

Exhale, being developed by SIERA, comprises just 54 apartments, a density not often seen in Surfers. It sits on the corner of Enderley Avenue and Garfield Terrace, just off Northcliffe Beach. SIERA Founder and Managing Director Brent Thompson spent over a year trying to secure the rare beachside site.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112661 project_image_fid=359603]

SIERA engaged BDA Architecture to design the building, with a striking glass curtain wall&nbsp;façade.

Offering two-, three-, and four-bedroom apartments, Exhale will also offer its residents a two-level wellness podium with a heated magnesium pool, spa, sauna, Nordic&nbsp;cold shower, and biophilic designed landscaped gardens.

There's also a dedicated Pilates and yoga studio, library and reading retreat, cinema lounge, and private dining room with a private bar and wine cellar.

Paradiso Place is the largest project currently in market in Surfers Paradise. Developer SPG Land recently begun construction on its 845-unit development they are bringing to 103 Ferny Avenue.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=106566 project_image_fid=185858]

At this scale, it’s effectively its own sub-market, offering a wide mix of configurations across multiple price points, from entry-level investor stock through to larger owner-occupier product. Amenities include a pool, gym, and outdoor spaces.

With projects of this size, early buyers typically benefit most from the broader selection before key layouts are taken up.

Andrews Projects recently commenced construction at South Beach, just shy of 400 apartments at 3006–3016 Surfers Paradise Boulevard. Prices start from $1.08 million for the one-bedroom apartments.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=8887 project_image_fid=358399]

Central to the South Beach offering is a 5,500m sqm wellness and lifestyle precinct designed around the concept of renewal as a daily ritual.

The wellness facilities include sunrise and sunset pools, an indoor hydrotherapy pool, plunge baths, a Hammam, traditional and infrared saunas, red-light therapy and dedicated treatment rooms. A Technogym gym,&nbsp;cinema, co-working lounge and a range of indoor and outdoor dining and entertaining spaces, including BBQ terraces, complete the amenity.

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/palmera-residences-18-garfield-terrace-surfers-paradise-qld-4217">Palmera Residences</a>&nbsp;is being constructed in the prestigious Northcliffe residential neighbourhood on an expansive 3,239 sqm site.

26 Vista has benefitted from the boom in Surfers Paradise over the last few years. Over 70 per cent of the 280 apartments have sold, with the remaining priced from $1.86 million.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112730 project_image_fid=365605]

26 Vista, being developed by MRCB, is scheduled to complete in late 2030 and has attracted strong interest from locals and interstate buyers, Matt George, from project marketer Urban Activation, says.

“The diverse mix of buyers we’ve seen investing in this development stands as a testament to the superior product that is being offered. 26 Vista is truly the gold standard for coastal living, with its thoughtfully considered design and its commitment to providing residents with five-star luxury in sub-tropical surrounds.”

Away from the beach and closer to the Budds Beach area of Surfers Paradise is Homecorp's new tower, Florence Residences.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=150414 project_image_fid=357950]

The Monte Carlo building has 116 apartments amid a suite of wellness spaces including&nbsp;a private residents’ only wellness club including a resort-style rooftop pool, hot and cold plunge pools, a spa retreat, contemporary gymnasium and a spacious yoga and Pilates studio.&nbsp;

There's a lot more to come in Surfers Paradise in the coming years. The most interest is likely the two-tower beachfront project proposed by Winx billionaire John Camilleri. The two towers, which will comprise 275 apartments, are to be connected by a 45-storey skybridge.

On the more boutique end, Cavella, by SEYAH, will have <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/news/qld/first-look-seyah-to-launch-cavella-in-emerging-sunrise-boulevard-surfers-paradise-pocket-following-density-rethink">just 18 residences</a> across a more modestly-sized 12-level building, also nearer the river than the beach.

<h2 data-end="5234" data-section-id="1kp72fk" data-start="5187">What Buyers Should Weigh Up Before Enquiring</h2>

Where a project sits in the development cycle matters just as much, if not more than, the price.

An off-the-plan apartment at registration stage may offer the lowest entry point, but it typically comes with a 24–36 month settlement timeline.

Later-stage projects trade some of that upside for greater certainty, so the right choice ultimately depends on your timeframe, risk appetite, and what you’re prioritising: price, selection, or delivery.

The 3,000 apartments to reshape Surfers Paradise skyline

An $8 million penthouse has sold at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/pomeroy-pacific-quattro-corp">PQD</a>’s <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/kooyongkoot-hawthorn-1-kooyongkoot-road-hawthorn-vic-3122">Kooyongkoot</a> development in Hawthorn, marking one of the highest apartment sales ever recorded in the suburb and across the wider City of Boroondara.&nbsp;

The three-bedroom penthouse, featuring two living areas, a study and expansive outdoor living across two levels, including a rooftop pool, spans 577 sqm, with nearly 300 sqm of internal living space and a further 281 sqm externally.

The penthouse was purchased by a Melbourne-based CEO, who is downsizing from a large family home nearby, and will move into the apartment with his two adult children.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=102717 project_image_fid=355297]

“Our family is entering a new phase, and apartment living offered an opportunity to embrace a different lifestyle while still having the space we’re used to,” the buyer said.&nbsp;

“Kooyongkoot immediately gave us confidence in the developer. Every detail feels deliberate, from the overall design down to the smallest touches. The level of quality and refinement is exceptional, but what really sold it was how liveable it felt. My wife and I loved features like the dog wash, oversized storage rooms and private garages because they showed genuine thought for everyday life. It felt like a place where everything had been considered, not just a luxury building.”&nbsp;

Designed by award-winning architecture studio <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/cera-stribley-architects">Cera Stribley</a>, Kooyongkoot comprises just 18 luxury residences within <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/hawthorn-vic-3122">Hawthorn</a>’s tightly held Scotch Hill precinct.&nbsp;

The development incorporates a curated suite of lifestyle amenities, including a private wellness centre featuring infrared and traditional saunas, massage and therapy rooms, a yoga and pilates studio, a gymnasium and cold therapy shower, alongside a residents’ retreat, a golf simulator and other convenience features.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=102717 project_image_fid=355303]

The buyer said the penthouse’s scale and design were key factors in the decision.&nbsp;

“The layout offers the same core living spaces you would expect in a large family home, which makes multi-generational living comfortable, but without the ongoing maintenance of a freestanding house.

“The wellness facilities and rooftop space were also compelling. They’re rare in a building of this size and add another dimension to the lifestyle the development offers,” he said.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=102717 project_image_fid=355262]

Mark Pomeroy, Director of PDQ, said the purchase reflects a broader shift in Melbourne’s prestige apartment market, where downsizers are increasingly seeking larger residences that allow adult children to remain at home longer while maintaining independence.&nbsp;

“We’re seeing more families choose apartment living without sacrificing space. For many downsizers, the reality is that adult children are staying at home longer, so buyers are looking for large apartments that allow everyone to live comfortably.”&nbsp;

Research conducted by the University of Melbourne in 2024 found that just over half of young men (54%) and 47% of young women aged 18 to 29 years old are still living under the same roof as their parents.&nbsp;

The penthouse sale places the transaction among the highest apartment sales ever recorded in the City of Boroondara, with only a handful of comparable penthouse deals including Victoria Hill in Camberwell (around $15 million) and Rondure House in Kew (around $6.5 million).&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=102717 project_image_fid=355304]

Located on prestigious Kooyongkoot Road in Hawthorn, the development sits within walking distance of parklands, private schools, Auburn Village and Camberwell Junction, and offers direct tram access to Melbourne’s CBD. Kooyongkoot’s main building structure was completed in March 2026, with residents expected to move in from November 2026.&nbsp;

A limited selection of residences remains available, offering penthouse scale living without traditional penthouse pricing. Options range from oversized two-bedroom apartments to corner three-bedroom residences with private three-car garages and generous storage. Pricing starts from $1.9m, rising to the mid-to-high $4 million range. The final penthouse is available for private viewing upon request.&nbsp;

Kooyongkoot is being delivered by PQD (Pomeroy Quattro Developments), a Melbourne-based development partnership focused on creating boutique, design-led residential projects in premium locations across the city.&nbsp;

Kooyongkoot records $8m penthouse sale as multi-gen leads the way

Excited buyers in <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/abadeen">Abadeen</a>'s debut Gold Coast apartment development, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/villea-palm-beach-26-mawarra-street-palm-beach-qld-4221">Villea</a> at Palm Beach, are almost ready to walk through their brand new apartments.

The Mawarra Street project is entering its final construction phase, with interiors now taking shape ahead of completion in the coming months. The 69-residence development, located just 400 metres from the beachfront, introduces a mix of two and three-bedroom apartments to a part of the Gold Coast where demand has steadily shifted toward larger, owner-occupier-focused layouts.

Abadeen, alongside selling agents <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/project-marketer/srq-projects">SRQ Projects</a>, has held back a selection of its most premium residences until the final release. The remaining three-bedroom apartments, each spanning more than 150 sqm of combined internal and outdoor space, are positioned toward the upper levels of the low-rise building.

Corner positioning is a defining feature in many of the three-bedroom residences, particularly those with north-east orientation. This brings natural light throughout the day and enables cross-ventilation across the main living spaces. Full-height glazing reinforces the connection between indoors and outdoors, with the living zone and adjoining balcony functioning as a continuous space.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=106840 project_image_fid=336449]

The kitchen is integrated into the central living area, anchored by stone benchtops, European appliances, and bespoke joinery. Engineered oak flooring runs throughout the main living spaces, creating a consistent material palette.

Bedrooms are arranged to separate the primary suite from the secondary rooms. The master typically includes a walk-in robe and ensuite with double vanity, while the additional bedrooms are positioned for privacy from the main living areas. Several layouts also incorporate a dedicated study zone, reflecting the increasing need for flexible work-from-home arrangements.

Outdoor space has been treated as an extension of the apartment rather than an afterthought. Balconies are proportioned to accommodate both dining and seating, allowing for everyday use rather than occasional entertaining. In upper-level residences, these spaces also capture broader coastal views, including sightlines toward Burleigh Headland and Snapper Rocks.

SRQ Projects Director Nick Clydsdale said the ability for buyers to soon walk through the apartments and experience their scale and aspect firsthand is expected to drive strong final demand.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=106840 project_image_fid=336450]

Abadeen’s approach to Villea reflects a deliberate focus on owner-occupiers, particularly downsizers and local buyers seeking larger homes near the beach. Founder Justin Brown said the project aligns with the group’s emphasis on “design-led living, premium quality, and the convenience we are bringing for residents to feel part of a perfect beachside community.”

"It is a particularly special project for us, being our first with spectacular ocean views, just metres from the water and with the addition of ground-floor retail."

[smartcode_project_cta:default project_id=106840]

Inside the three-bedroom apartments at Villea Palm Beach

For more than 170 years, the Buckingham Arms Hotel stood as a cornerstone of Gilberton’s social life. First opened in 1849, the hotel quickly became a gathering place for locals, evolving alongside the suburb as Adelaide expanded north of the CBD.

Generations of families passed through its doors, with the Simpson family stewarding the venue for decades before the Matthews family introduced its famous smorgasbord in 1955, an offering that became a local institution.

When the hotel closed in 2022, it marked the end of a remarkable chapter in Gilberton’s history while setting the stage for a new era at the site.

Local builder-developer Citify secured the property and plans to fully restore the hospitality venue, returning it to its former grandeur. The project will also expand the broader precinct, incorporating a new apartment building designed to complement the heritage character of the longstanding pub.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=149055 project_image_fid=363676]

Citify Founder and Managing Director Joel Wilkinson says the opportunity to acquire such a unique site was a no-brainer.

“Gilberton is among the top five blue-chip suburbs in Adelaide,” Wilkinson says. “It’s incredibly desirable, and very few opportunities exist to develop in such a small, prestige suburb.”

Only 22 houses in the suburb sold last year, and 2021 Census data shows just over 130 apartments in the area, making it difficult to enter the tightly held property market. “It’s incredibly competitive to get into Gilberton,” Wilkinson adds.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=149055 project_image_fid=363677]

The Buckingham will almost double the number of apartments in the suburb. It will comprise 173 new one, two, and three-bedroom apartments, which are already proving popular with a mix of young professionals, local rightsizers, and downsizers. The development will also include 13 expansive two-storey homes with private courtyard gardens.

Future residents at The Buckingham will have private access to a significant amount of amenity, including a swimming pool, accompanied by a full pool deck with day beds and alfresco spaces, as well as a gym and sauna.

Construction has commenced, with completion expected in 2028.

It didn't happen overnight, but it is happening.

The spread of higher density living into Melbourne's virgin northern suburbs is beginning to unfold at a quickening pace, as various projects begin to take their place across certain fringe suburbs.

At the epicentre of the development action is Epping, with three major projects in motion. Largest of all is Empire Epping which has begun its sales campaign prior to deliver the 12 level mixed-use building.

Apartments will sit above 7 lower levels with the commercial space within expected to service the high growth corridor. Cafes, retail tenancies, a restaurant, day spa, gym and childcare facility will also be delivered, adding to the diversity City of Whittlesea is pushing for via the Epping Central masterplan.

<figure><a class="colorbox colorbox-insert-image" href="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/q_auto:good/https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/image33_10.jpg" rel="gallery-all" title="Empire Epping along with the Mantra and Quest developments"><img alt="" class="image-article-full-width-580px" height="354" src="/sites/urban.melbourne/files/styles/article_full_width_580px/public/pictures/article-images/image33_10.jpg?itok=SEF1X_cV" title="Empire Epping along with the Mantra and Quest developments" width="580"></a>

<figcaption>Empire Epping along with the Mantra and Quest developments</figcaption></figure>Also under development are two separate short stay projects; Maben will oversee the delivery of Pacific Quest Epping whilst earlier this month Mantra Group signed on to operate Mantra Epping Hotel at 250 Cooper Street. Spurned on by the delivery of the new wholesale fruit, vegetable and flower market and the expanded Northern Hospital, the projects will create 96 and 214 rooms respectively.

Valued at $70 million, Hacer will build Mantra Epping Hotel which has a nominated completion date of mid-2019. Across 6 floors, Mantra Epping Hotel will include both hotel rooms and apartments, plus a café/restaurant and brewhouse.

Epping also has various other projects in the wings; the largest of which is 67 Rufus Street which sees approval in place for 92 apartments across 8 levels.

A short distance away Mill Park and South Morang are also garnering their fair share of apartment living.

Gibson Propery Group and Roche Holding's Mason Point mixed-use development continues to roll apartment projects out at a regular interval; Figurehead is well into building 74 dwellings as Alba Apartments with additional releases also planned. Diagonally opposite, Morang Views is beginning to make an impact upon the landscape.

Backed by Universal Corporation, Morang Views will eventually see in excess of 300 dwellings built, with stage one delivering 39 apartments. Not accustomed to tower cranes on the landscape, passers-by will likely see them across future apartments projects slated for the sprawling site.

<figure><a class="colorbox colorbox-insert-image" href="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/q_auto:good/https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/image27_8.jpg" rel="gallery-all" title="Morang Views takes shape.

Render: Hachem" width="580"></a>

<figcaption>Morang Views takes shape. Render: Hachem</figcaption></figure>As development of higher density projects across the city's northern fringe lifts, so to does the prospect of further such developments. The abundance of land is beyond doubt, as is the role that Mernda Rail will play in bringing Mernda to the high density party.

The suburb currently has a tower crane erected for a commercial and retail development, with a new town centre planned for land opposite the new station.

As the edge of Melbourne moves beyond the current fringe to new 'city's' such as Merrifield, the inclusion of higher density projects has been considered since their conception. Merrifields central heart dubbed Waterfront City will service the 770 hectare project.

Included across all renders to date are low and mid-rise buildings for Waterfront City, suggesting that the push of higher density development into Melbourne's northern reaches will continue.
