South East Queensland’s apartment market is entering a new phase defined by rising prices, constrained affordability, and mounting pressure on the construction pipeline, according to RPM Group’s latest SEQ Apartments &amp; Townhomes Market Report.

The May 2026 report highlights a widening divide between what buyers can afford and what developers can viably deliver, with detached house prices continuing to push more buyers toward apartments across Brisbane, the Gold Coast, and the Sunshine Coast.

RPM says Brisbane’s median house price has reached around $1.5 million, accelerating the shift toward higher-density housing as buyers are increasingly priced out of the detached market.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=135094 project_image_fid=356540]

Median unit prices rose across all three major SEQ markets in the March quarter. Brisbane City recorded the strongest annual growth, with median unit prices climbing 21 per cent to $862,000, while the Gold Coast reached the highest overall median at $950,000, up 17 per cent year-on-year. The Sunshine Coast followed at $870,000, representing annual growth of nine per cent.

RPM noted the affordability gap between houses and units remains significant, with detached homes commanding premiums of 67 per cent in Brisbane and 68 per cent on the Gold Coast relative to apartments.

The report suggests this price disparity is increasingly consolidating buyer demand within the apartment market, particularly among downsizers and owner-occupiers.

“Demand is real. Supply is moving. But they’re operating on different timelines and the gap between what’s being built and what buyers can afford is the defining tension in this market right now,” RPM Queensland and NSW Managing Directors Peter Neale and Clinton Trezise said in the report.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=150787 project_image_fid=366230]

While approvals and commencements are strengthening, RPM argues the delivery pipeline remains constrained by construction costs, labour shortages, and extended build timelines.

Apartment approvals across Queensland increased 86 per cent over the year to February 2026, reaching 12,682 approvals, the highest level recorded since 2016. Brisbane overtook the Gold Coast as the state’s most active apartment approval market, with nearly 5,000 apartments approved over the past 12 months.

Unit commencements also strengthened considerably, rising 48 per cent year-on-year to 5,453 commencements in the December 2025 quarter, the highest level since 2018.

However, RPM’s research found apartment delivery timeframes have expanded sharply compared to the previous cycle. Projects are now averaging around 30 months from approval to completion, compared to roughly 20 months a decade ago.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=143932 project_image_fid=367515]

The number of units under construction has climbed to approximately 31,530 dwellings, nearing the previous 2016 peak, though projects are remaining in the pipeline for considerably longer.

Construction costs continue to weigh heavily on feasibility. RPM found the average apartment construction cost in Greater Brisbane reached $630,000 per dwelling in 2025, exceeding both Sydney and Melbourne. Coastal Queensland markets, including the Gold Coast and Sunshine Coast, were even higher at an average of $817,418 per apartment due to the prevalence of larger premium product.

The report also points to increasing pressure from Olympic-related infrastructure spending ahead of Brisbane 2032, with labour competition expected to intensify over the next several years.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=150017 project_image_fid=370960]

ANZ Associate Director of Property Daniel Gradwell said the underlying demand drivers across South East Queensland remain strong, supported by interstate migration, downsizers, and population growth.

“The challenge is bringing enough supply to market to meet that demand, and nothing on the horizon makes that straightforward,” Gradwell said.

RPM’s analysis found the affordability challenge is becoming more pronounced in the new apartment market itself, with only three per cent of surveyed new apartments priced below $1 million.

Instead, the market is increasingly concentrated in higher price brackets, with the most common new apartment price band across SEQ sitting between $1.5 million and $1.75 million. Around half of all new apartment stock surveyed is priced below $2 million.

The report suggests developers are not necessarily avoiding lower price points by choice, but because current construction economics make delivering affordable apartments increasingly difficult at scale.

Rental conditions also remain tight across the region. Median rents for one-bedroom apartments rose 12 per cent in Brisbane over the past year to $580 per week, while Gold Coast one-bedroom rents increased nine per cent to $630.

Despite rising rents, RPM noted bond lodgements have generally trended downward over the past five years, indicating more apartments are being absorbed by owner-occupiers rather than retained as investor-held rental stock.

Looking ahead, RPM expects projects targeting the mid-market owner-occupier segment between $1.25 million and $2 million to remain the most viable part of the market, while premium projects in highly constrained coastal or riverfront locations continue to attract demand.

“Construction costs are rewriting the feasibility rulebook across Greater Brisbane, and with little relief in sight, only projects in the right price band, right location, and with presales secured early will make it through,” the report concludes.

SEQ apartment demand outpacing affordable supply as construction timelines stretch: RPM

Camberwell Junction has long been the epicentre of amenity in Melbourne’s Boroondara region.

For nearly a century, it has drawn both locals and visitors, anchored by the Camberwell Sunday Market, which first operated in 1929 and quickly became a fixture of the suburb’s identity. Over time, the Junction evolved into one of Melbourne’s most established retail and lifestyle precincts, now comprising more than 400 stores and over 300 commercial businesses.

Despite that depth of amenity, one thing has remained notably limited: the supply of new apartments.

In a suburb defined by its heritage streetscapes and tightly held residential stock, new development opportunities have been scarce, particularly within the core of the Junction itself. That lack of supply has left a gap in the market for larger, design-led apartments suited to downsizers and owner-occupiers wanting to remain in the area.

Boutique developer Above Zero identified that gap when it secured a prime site on Burke Road, in the heart of Camberwell Junction.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=4896 project_image_fid=368543]

The site has a long planning history. Various proposals have been put forward over more than a decade, many of which were knocked back by the City of Boroondara, with initial applications dating back to 2015. Above Zero acquired the site in 2022 and returned with a revised scheme, refining both the building’s height and its ground-level interface to better align with Council expectations.

That process has culminated in approval for Camberwell House.

The Cera Stribley-designed development will deliver 57 residences on a 1,950 sqm site within the Camberwell Activity Centre, placing it directly within one of Melbourne’s most established retail and transport hubs.

It is expected to be one of the only new apartment developments to launch in the Junction in recent years, reinforcing the rarity of new supply in the precinct. Currently, there are just a handful of projects on the market in Camberwell, underscoring the significance of a development of this scale and positioning.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=4896 project_image_fid=368544]

Camberwell House has been conceived with a clear focus on larger-format apartments. The project will offer a mix of two-, three- and four-bedroom residences, alongside a limited number of penthouses, targeting owner-occupiers seeking scale rather than volume-driven product.

The building’s vertical presence will also set it apart.

Positioned on Burke Road, the development is set to become one of the taller buildings in its immediate context, allowing for elevated outlooks across Melbourne’s CBD skyline and toward the Dandenong Ranges. In a precinct characterised by lower-scale built form, that height provides a point of differentiation, particularly for buyers seeking outlook and natural light.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=4896 project_image_fid=368568]

Architecture has been led by Cera Stribley, with interiors by GOLDEN and landscape design by Florian Wild. The design approach centres on material consistency and restraint, with residences oriented to maximise light, ventilation and connection to outdoor spaces.

Full-height glazing and generous terraces form a key part of that strategy, allowing apartments to extend beyond their internal footprint and engage with the surrounding environment.

Beyond the private residences, a significant component of the project is its amenity offering.

Above Zero has positioned Camberwell House as a “complete living environment”, incorporating a full floor dedicated to resident facilities. At the centre of that is a wellness zone, including a 12.5-metre lap pool, spa, sauna and treatment spaces, alongside a gym and recovery-focused amenities.

This level of amenity is more commonly associated with inner-city developments, rather than established middle-ring suburbs like Camberwell.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=4896 project_image_fid=368588]

Additional shared spaces include a private library lounge, dining and entertaining areas, and an indoor golf simulator. A self-contained guest suite has also been incorporated, allowing residents to accommodate visiting family or friends without impacting their primary living space.

The inclusion of these facilities reflects a broader shift in buyer expectations.

As more downsizers look to transition from larger family homes into apartments, there is increasing demand for developments that offer not just a residence, but a lifestyle. That includes access to wellness, social and entertaining spaces within the building itself, reducing the reliance on external amenity while still maintaining proximity to established precincts.

Camberwell House is positioned to benefit from both.

Its location places it within immediate walking distance of Camberwell Junction’s retail and dining offering, as well as public transport connections, including tram and train services. That combination of internal amenity and external convenience is central to its appeal.

<section data-scroll-anchor="false" data-testid="conversation-turn-150" data-turn="assistant" data-turn-id="request-WEB:55d7c6ac-8e6d-4881-ad49-0ed9bf66d1cc-74" dir="auto">
Jellis Craig Projects Director Stephen Bowtell is handling sales for the project and says Camberwell House offers a rare entry point into one of Melbourne’s most tightly held markets.

“Buyers are recognising that Camberwell House offers something they simply haven’t seen before in Boroondara,”&nbsp;Bowtell&nbsp;says.

“It combines a level of resident amenity and service typically associated with Melbourne’s premium inner-city developments, while being positioned right in the heart of Camberwell Junction.

“The response to the concierge offering has been particularly strong. Buyers appreciate not only the convenience, but also the sense of security and peace of mind that comes from having a dedicated presence in the building every day.

“When you combine that with the wellness facilities, the exceptional arrival experience, and panoramic views across both the CBD skyline and the Dandenong Ranges, it creates a lifestyle proposition that is genuinely unique within the local market.”

Above Zero launches Camberwell House in undersupplied Camberwell Junction precinct

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/consolidated-properties">Consolidated Properties Group</a> (CPG) is approaching the launch of its latest Brisbane riverfront development, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/castile-47-skyring-terrace-newstead-qld-4006">Castile</a>, on the dress circle Skyring Terrace in Newstead.

VIP buyers are now being engaged, with a full public sales launch coming later this year.

Positioned as the final opportunity to secure a new absolute riverfront residence on the East bank of Newstead, Teneriffe or New Farm, Castile at 47 Skyring Terrace has been designed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/woods-bagot">Woods Bagot</a> as a timeless addition to the Brisbane skyline.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=150489 project_image_fid=371113]

The name Castile draws on themes of permanence, sophistication and legacy, reflecting a broader vision centred on enduring architecture and timelessness in the rarest of riverfront positions.&nbsp;

CPG Chairman and CEO Don O’Rorke said the project had been envisioned as a future Brisbane icon.&nbsp;

“With 47 metres of direct river frontage and never to be built out views, 47 Skyring Terrace is the definitive address on the Brisbane River,” O’Rorke said.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=150489 project_image_fid=371114]

“Rather than following trend-based apartment design, Castile draws inspiration from Brisbane’s great heritage buildings, reinterpreting classical architecture into a contemporary riverfront landmark designed to stand proudly for the next 100 years,” he said.&nbsp;

The approved development will comprise 227 apartments across a 25-storey tower alongside a boutique six-storey riverfront building of just 12 residences.&nbsp;

Construction is scheduled to commence in September 2026.

CPG unveils Castile Newstead ahead of upcoming sales launch

Australia’s online shopping habits have shifted dramatically over the last decade. As eCommerce volumes surged, so too did the frustrations that came with traditional parcel delivery: missed deliveries, long Post Office queues, parcel theft and the challenge of being home during business hours.

Australia Post’s Parcel Lockers emerged as one of the more practical responses to that changing consumer behaviour.

What started as a relatively niche delivery option has evolved into a nationwide network of more than 1,400 self-service Parcel Lockers positioned at train stations, shopping centres, supermarkets and Post Offices across the country. The system allows Australians to send, collect and return parcels 24 hours a day, fundamentally changing how many people interact with deliveries.

The appeal is relatively straightforward: flexibility.

Instead of waiting at home for a delivery driver or rushing to a Post Office before closing time, users can direct eligible parcels to a Parcel Locker location of their choice. Once the parcel arrives, Australia Post sends a notification with a collection code or QR access through the AusPost app, allowing customers to retrieve their package at any time within the collection window.

For apartment residents in particular, the system has become increasingly valuable.

Higher-density living has created logistical challenges around deliveries, especially in buildings without concierge services or secure parcel rooms. Missed deliveries are common, while parcel theft has become an increasing concern as online shopping volumes continue to rise.

Australia Post itself has repeatedly highlighted the growing issue of “porch pirates” during peak shopping periods, encouraging customers to use Parcel Lockers as a safer alternative to unattended home deliveries.

That security aspect is one of the key reasons the Australia Post Parcel Locker network has grown so rapidly.

Parcel Lockers are positioned as secure, monitored collection points that reduce the risk of theft while also improving delivery efficiency for Australia Post. Instead of multiple redelivery attempts, parcels can be consolidated into a single secure destination.

The Parcel Lockers themselves are free to use through a MyPost account and support a range of parcel sizes up to 16 kilograms and dimensions of approximately 35 x 44 x 61 centimetres.

Beyond receiving parcels, the system has increasingly become integrated into the broader eCommerce ecosystem.

Customers can now use Parcel Lockers to return online purchases, while retailers have embraced the model as a way to improve delivery success rates and reduce friction in the shopping process. Australia Post has actively expanded partnerships with major retailers and promoted Parcel Lockers as part of a broader out-of-home strategy.

The timing of that expansion aligns with broader changes in Australian shopping behaviour.

The acceleration of online retail during and after the pandemic placed enormous pressure on delivery infrastructure. Parcel volumes reached record highs, particularly during Black Friday and Christmas periods, with Australia Post delivering more than 100 million parcels during peak festive seasons.

That growth forced logistics providers to rethink the “last mile” of delivery, widely regarded as the most expensive and operationally difficult stage of the process.

Parcel Locker systems have increasingly been viewed as part of the long-term solution.

The concept itself is not unique to Australia. Parcel Locker networks have become common globally, particularly across Europe and Asia, where dense urban environments and apartment living create similar logistical challenges. But Australia’s geography and suburban sprawl made adoption slower initially.

Now, however, the convenience factor is driving mainstream usage.

For commuters, Parcel Lockers near train stations allow parcels to be collected on the way home from work. For apartment dwellers, they remove the uncertainty around access and missed deliveries.

The rise of the AusPost app has also streamlined the experience, centralising notifications, tracking and Parcel Locker access into a single platform. Australia Post has increasingly pushed customers toward app-based delivery management, partly as a way to combat phishing scams and fake delivery notifications, which have become more sophisticated in recent years.

The Parcel Locker model is also beginning to influence property development itself.

Parcel management has become a growing consideration in apartment building design, particularly as online shopping becomes embedded in everyday life. Many new residential developments are now incorporating dedicated parcel rooms or Parcel Locker systems into foyers and communal spaces.

For developers, parcel management is increasingly viewed as part of the broader resident amenity offering, alongside gyms, wellness spaces and communal work areas.

That reflects a wider evolution in how residential buildings are designed.

Apartment buyers are placing greater emphasis on convenience, security and operational functionality, particularly in higher-density urban environments. Parcel delivery, once considered a minor operational detail, has become an increasingly important part of that equation.

Australia Post’s Parcel Locker network sits at the centre of that behavioural shift.

What began as a simple alternative delivery option has evolved into a key piece of infrastructure supporting Australia’s growing eCommerce economy and changing urban lifestyles.

And as online shopping continues to expand, the role of Parcel Lockers is likely to become even more embedded in how Australians live, shop and receive goods.

How Australia Post Parcel Lockers changed parcel delivery convenience in Australia

Perth’s new apartment market recorded its strongest quarter of sales since Q4 2021, with 412 apartments sold in Q1 2026 and a record quarterly sold value of $537 million, according to Urbis’ latest Apartment Essentials results.

Urbis said the March quarter result reflects strong, highly product‑specific demand across both ends of the market, from more attainable projects delivering at scale, through to premium stock being absorbed by equity‑rich downsizers.&nbsp;

David Cresp, Partner at Urbis, said the key story in Perth is not demand, it is the market’s ability to convert demand into delivered housing.&nbsp;

“This is the strongest sales quarter since Q4 2021, and it reinforces that demand in Perth is real and it’s local,” David Cresp said. “But the task now is delivery, turning that demand into projects that can actually be built and completed.”&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=110291 project_image_fid=302785]

<h2>Affordable product leads, premium demand remains resilient</h2>

Sales in Q1 were led by more affordable projects, with The Boulevard (SKS Group) recording 115 sales in the quarter, the presentation noting this is only the second time a single project has surpassed 100 quarterly sales. The project was able to offer more affordable housing product right next to a train station.&nbsp;

Palmyra West (Finbar) also delivered strong results with 28 sales in Q1, following 84 sales in Q4, with an average price of under $800,000, underscoring depth of demand for well‑located, attainable new stock.&nbsp;

At the premium end, Urbis said downsizer demand is continuing, with the results highlighting Romeo (Applecross, Finbar) recording 75 sales and reaching almost 50% sold in one quarter.

Jual (Shenton Park, Celsius Property) also posted a strong quarter with 28 sales, reaching 39% sold in one quarter.

Urbis noted that Perth apartment demand is not speculative, not investor‑led, and not uniform, describing it as localised, often equity‑driven and highly product‑specific, a pattern reflected in the polarisation between strong “attainable” performers and premium downsizer product.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=148957 project_image_fid=364102]

<h2>Prices underpinned by costs, and the delivery risk is growing</h2>

Urbis said pricing pressure is cost not demand‑driven: construction costs and delivery risk are now a central constraint, with the results noting build costs remain elevated and volatile, and that energy, fuel and labour uncertainty weigh on feasibility.

David Cresp said a growing challenge for private Build‑to‑Sell developers is simply securing a builder in the current environment.

“Developers are really feeling the pressure from a building market that was operating at capacity and securing a builder is challenging,” David Cresp said, adding that even where a builder can be secured, “trying to get to the price that makes the development financially viable is incredibly challenging in the current market.”&nbsp;

Urbis’ broader WA commentary also notes that industry remains at or above capacity with lot and housing creation, and that many builders are limiting new sales to manage stretched workforces and fixed‑price contract pressures, conditions that flow directly into apartment feasibility and delivery timing.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108869 project_image_fid=317905]

<h2>Supply: improving later, but still constrained, and Perth lags eastern benchmarks</h2>

While near‑term supply remains constrained, Urbis’ forecast shows completions lifting “Supply is forecast to be back above 1,500 apartments per annum for the first time since 2019”, with 1,775 completions forecast for 2026, and volumes remaining above that level over the following years.&nbsp;

Looking further ahead, completions are forecast to reach 2,500 in 2028, with the report noting 32% of that total is social/affordable, reflecting the role of government‑supported delivery in rebuilding the pipeline.&nbsp;

However, Urbis said Perth remains behind comparable markets on pipeline scale. In a national comparison of projects under construction, the report shows under construction Perth Build‑to‑Sell (BTS) at 3,446 apartments versus the Gold Coast at 7,922. Mr Cresp said “The challenge for Perth is how to we grow the delivery pipeline”.

Urbis’ conclusion is that Perth’s market is increasingly defined by product discipline and delivery certainty, with the research identifying “delivery certainty is key” and calling out builder risk and procurement models as core success factors, alongside “timing and staging”.&nbsp;

Perth apartment sales hit strongest pace since late 2021 as builder capacity tightens

Mermaid Beach

As housing affordability and the property market continues to be one of the big talking points of the year, prospective buyers are still searching for ways to get their slice of the market.

With the housing market exploding in 2021, it only raised the barrier of entry for buyers, and especially first home buyers, with the homeownership rate only continuing to decline according to the 2021 census.

For many first home buyers, the price of housing isn’t actually the biggest factor, it’s getting the deposit together in the first place.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=102451 project_image_fid=186075]

And as inflation skyrockets and interest rates continue to rise, it seems to only be getting harder.

Buyers at Hirsch &amp; Faigen's Yves Mermaid Beach apartment development can secure an apartment with just a $10,000 deposit, with the ability to pay the rest weekly up until completion.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=102451 project_image_fid=186074]

The $200 million Yves, comprising a collection of 145 luxury residences, offers a mix of&nbsp;one, two and three-bedroom designs, in addition to the premium offerings of two four-bedroom, half-floor sub-penthouses and a single full-floor penthouse.

Designed by Rothelowman, Yves will rise on 7-9 Mermaid Avenue, just metres behind the famed Hedges Avenue beachfront strip.

Construction is scheduled to start in May and completion due in 2024, prospective buyers have plenty of time to save for the remainder of their purchase.

Secure Yves, Mermaid Beach apartments with just a $10k deposit

Hirsch &amp; Faigen&rsquo;s $200 million Yves, Mermaid Beach development is proving to be a quick hit amongst local buyers, with one of its 145 apartments snapped up by Gold Coast couple&nbsp;Mark and Renee Rooney.

Varsity Lakes local Mark Rooney&nbsp;says he and his wife based their purchase off a list of 60 different criteria, ranging from living and communal spaces to the ceiling height and interior aesthetics.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=102451 project_image_fid=186071]

Half of the apartments in Yves were snapped up in the first two months of marketing, unsurprisingly with locals dominating the purchasing.

For the Rooney&rsquo;s, Yves long term growth and advantages, alongside its architecturally acclaimed design, ticked all the boxes of their detailed criteria list and ultimately sealed the deal.

&ldquo;We looked at five or six other developments first and did an analysis of which one we thought provided the best short-, medium- and long-term growth and advantages for myself and my wife, and Yves proved to be most favourable in that respect,&rdquo; said Rooney.

&ldquo;The quality and pedigree of the developer, the architect and the builder were the next things we looked at and when all 60 criteria were analysed against some of the other developments, Yves undoubtedly came out on top.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=102451 project_image_fid=186074]

&ldquo;The unique and luxurious living and communal spaces throughout Yves feature uncompromising commitment to design, sustainability and usability which was also a key component in our criteria.

&ldquo;Entering back into the property market we had a list of 60 criteria we needed the development to meet, and the fact that Yves ticked all our boxes is a testament to the quality of this project.&rdquo;

Rooney said&nbsp;Yves serene beachside location further cemented his desire for the development, also citing the surrounding amenities as its major draw cards.

&ldquo;My mum has been living in this prestigious pocket of the Gold Coast for over 30 years and she absolutely loves it, so we were confident moving to the area,&rdquo; said Rooney.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=102451 project_image_fid=186076]

&ldquo;Yves central Mermaid Beach location is simply unrivalled, we have an abundance of enriching dining, shopping and entertainment precincts, as well as a pristine beach, right at our doorstep.&rdquo;

Developers, Hirsch &amp; Faigen, had previously caught the attention of the Rooney clan with their interstate projects and most recently, the Kirra Beach development of Emerson.

&ldquo;I&rsquo;m originally from Sydney and my wife is from Melbourne and Hirsch &amp; Faigen have done developments across the country, making a nationwide name for themselves,&rdquo; he said.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=102451 project_image_fid=186079]

&ldquo;After seeing theirs and Rothelowman Architects&rsquo; portfolio of projects on the Gold Coast, Sydney and Melbourne, we were really impressed, especially with Hirsch &amp; Faigen&rsquo;s distinct style,&rdquo; he added.

Upon completion, Yves will comprise a mix of&nbsp;one, two and three-bedroom designs, in addition to the premium offerings of two four-bedroom, half-floor sub-penthouses and a single full-floor penthouse.

Why locals are buying an Yves, Mermaid Beach apartment

The Abedian family are back in the property development game.

Soheil Abedian, founder of the prominent Queensland developer Sunland Group, which has been shedding its property assets in recent years with a view to wind-down operations, has filed plans for an owner-occupier focused apartment tower on its recently secured&nbsp;Mermaid Beach site.

The amalgamated site at 35-41 Peerless Avenue is located&nbsp;less than 400 metres from Sunland&#39;s nearby luxury tower 272 Hedges which is nearing completion, and is next door to the recently completed Bela by Mosaic Property.

Abedian has had Spatium Architects draw up plans for the development, another focused on the owner-occupier, with the majority of the 124 metre high tower dominated by three-bedroom apartments.

<a href="/new-apartments/peerless-39-peerless-avenue-mermaid-beach"><img alt="" height="974" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/screen_shot_2022-06-22_at_3.40.01_am.png" width="1726" /></a>

There will be 103 apartments in total, 44 two-beds which start at a generous 117 sqm internal living space and a further 11 sqm balcony.

Some 64 three-bed apartments are planned, which will start from nearly 200 sqm internally and have nearly 20 sqm balcony space. The sub-penthouse three-beds will span half a floor.

There will be a sole four-bedroom apartment, the sprawling rooftop penthouse, which will span over 400 sqm of living space and a further 280 sqm of outdoor area which will feature its own lawn.

<a href="/new-apartments/peerless-39-peerless-avenue-mermaid-beach"><img alt="" height="986" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/screen_shot_2022-06-22_at_3.39.49_am.png" width="1728" /></a>

Spatium Architects said in their design statement submitted to the Gold Coast City Council that the amalgamation of four&nbsp;properties in Peerless Avenue presents an opportunity for a significant tall residential building, defining the southern boundary of the high density residential zone in Broadbeach.

&quot;The site has high visual exposure from the Gold Coast Highway and Hedges Avenue, and from a distance will become the landmark building along the southern high rise fringe,&quot; the statement noted.

&quot;The vision for this development is simple in the desire to create a carefully crafted residential project which not only provides a beautiful living environment for the residents, but also pays respect to the community in the way it integrates with its street context and the city skyline.&quot;

They said that all apartments are generously sized to provide genuinely liveable spaces and that the unit mix, rather than being focused solely on high income earners, provides well designed homes for a large cross section of the community in the form of two, three and four-bedroom apartments.

All apartments include study areas to accommodate the continuing work from home&nbsp;trend.

<a href="/new-apartments/peerless-39-peerless-avenue-mermaid-beach"><img alt="" height="986" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/screen_shot_2022-06-22_at_3.39.44_am.png" width="1726" /></a>

The landscaped recreational facilities deck is located on the elevated podium. That will feature a 25 metre lap pool with lagoon and an inpool spa and surrounded by poolside garden pods. There&#39;s a garden barbecue terrace with lounge seating areas, a gym with both a yoga room and a yoga lawn, two saunas and a stream room.

Queensland locals, Niecon Developments, who&rsquo;ve played a part in reshaping the Gold Coast skyline over the past four decades, is gearing up for a new era of growth with a pipeline of projects worth almost $300 million.

The company, founded by the Nikiforides family, is behind some of the Gold Coast&rsquo;s most prominent developments, including the $850 million The Oracle and Niecon Plaza at Broadbeach.

Now led by the third generation of the Nikiforides family - William, John and James &ndash; Niecon is preparing for what the brothers say is a golden age for Australia&rsquo;s lifestyle capital as the South-East Queensland region counts down to the 2032 Olympics.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108737 project_image_fid=192202]

Niecon Managing Director, William Nikiforides, said the company&rsquo;s vision is aligned with the significant transformation for the Gold Coast the next decade will bring, led by the infrastructure boom planned for the Games.

&ldquo;The Gold Coast is a city that embraces change and that has been a constant for as long as we can remember,&rdquo; Nikiforides said.

&ldquo;But as we continue to grow, we need to ensure that the Gold Coast remains a strong and welcoming community and a place where people love to live.

&ldquo;The next decade is likely to be the most significant in the Gold Coast&rsquo;s history and one that will shape the city&rsquo;s future for decades to come.&rdquo;

Amid the current Gold Coast development boom, the group has taken a considered approach to new projects, that they believe will make a positive contribution to the city&rsquo;s urban and social fabric.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108737 project_image_fid=192203]

The latest is Ventura Residences at Mermaid Beach, a boutique development of 47 premium residences, including two double-storey park-facing villas.

Owner-occupiers have been the most interest on the development so far. They&#39;ve been keen on the&nbsp;exclusive residential amenity, including the recreational terrace and lounge, suspended waterfall edge pool and sun deck, alfresco dining area, Zen garden and gym.

With the project scheduled for completion in May next year, Niecon is currently preparing to announce further projects across the city.

&ldquo;As a family company, we stand proud on our record of creating architectural gems that have become Gold Coast landmarks, and my brothers and I are looking forward to continuing the tradition that began with our grandfather and father,&rdquo; Nikiforides added.

&ldquo;Together we&rsquo;ve grown up in the industry and learned from some of the best, and it&rsquo;s our passion to build on their legacy.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108737 project_image_fid=192210]

&ldquo;We have never been here for the one and done. We are here for the long term and, to truly be part of something bigger, we believe there is more to this industry than just delivering quality projects. Our mission is to create life spaces that bring a community together.&rdquo;

The Nikiforides Group was founded in Canberra in 1969 by Bill Nikiforides, before expanding to Sydney and later along Australia&rsquo;s eastern seaboard. The family-owned company moved to the Gold Coast in 1978 and quickly established a reputation for quality and innovation across its developments in Queensland&rsquo;s south-east.

The group&rsquo;s flagship property development company, Niecon Developments, which was founded by his son Con Nikiforides and jointly run by the father and son team, won numerous industry awards for construction, design and engineering excellence and continues to be at the forefront of developing the ultimate life spaces.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108737 project_image_fid=192205]

In addition to The Oracle, a development that led the renaissance of Broadbeach, the company is also behind the award-winning Aruba Beach Resort at Broadbeach, Aqua on Broadwater at Labrador, Reflection on the Sea at Coolangatta and Nirvana by the Sea at Kirra.

The new generation of Nikiforides, who are born-and-bred Gold Coasters, bring an extensive range of skills to Niecon Developments as the company prepares to deliver an extensive profile of commercial and residential projects in coming years.

&ldquo;We&rsquo;re on the cusp of a new golden era for the Gold Coast that we believe needs to be managed thoughtfully,&rdquo; Nikiforides added.

&ldquo;At Niecon, this always starts with community, family and a deep level of consideration and connection to people and place. As a developer, we endeavour to go beyond architectural form and function and that&rsquo;s what will continue to drive us into the future.&rdquo;

The wave of low-rise apartment developments in the best pockets in Mermaid Beach is continuing.

The new plans are on the exclusive Albatross Avenue, the beachside strip just south of&nbsp;Hedges Avenue, dubbed the millionaire&#39;s row of Mermaid Beach. Albatross is still revered, considered the next best street in the small Gold Coast enclave.

The latest plans has been filed by a company co-directed by Alroe Constructions&#39; Tye Alroe, who is seeking to create a four-level, eight-apartment project at 120-122 Albatross Avenue.

<a href="/new-apartments/120-122-albatross-avenue-mermaid-beach"><img alt="" height="602" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/screen_shot_2022-06-14_at_9.20.40_am.png" width="1118" /></a> 
Render of the proposed development at 120-122 Albatross Ave, Mermaid Beach.&nbsp;

There will be just two apartments per floor.

The design statement from Impact Design the two per floor villas will&nbsp;provide a high standard of liveability and generate an appropriate scale in the developing context.

&ldquo;The villas provided are large liveable dwellings that can cater for families and focus on maximising natural ventilation and natural light,&rdquo;

Each villa will feature open plan living arrangements with dining, living and kitchens opening onto generous outdoor living spaces.

The three-bedroom villas all consist of two-and-a-half bathrooms, with villas three to eight also including an additional multi-purpose area.

<a href="/new-apartments/120-122-albatross-avenue-mermaid-beach"><img alt="" height="612" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/screen_shot_2022-06-14_at_9.20.35_am.png" width="1102" /></a>

Villas one and two feature plunge pools with private gardens and landscaping at the ground level, whilst both villas seven and eight have access to private roof terraces that home barbecue facilities, raised plunge pools and landscaped planter boxes.

Architecturally, the design is contemporary and minimal. Lending itself to the beachside locality, the building is characterised by white feature walls, timber look cladding, natural timber look screens, raw stone and a natural tonal palette.

&quot;The architectural language is contemporary and minimal with a beachside tone,&quot; the statement added.

Located between the Nobby Beach cafe and restaurant precinct and the Broadbeach shopping and restaurant precinct, residents benefit from a long list of amenity, just steps from the 810 sqm site.&nbsp;&nbsp;

First look: Luxury apartments to hit Mermaid Beach's Albatross Avenue

Landing on the corner of Lavarack Road and Albatross Avenue, SK2 Property, in conjunction with the property owner, Cavan Properties,&nbsp;lodged&nbsp;an application over the site of the current BSKT Caf&eacute;.

The 95 sqm&nbsp;caf&eacute; will be retained as part of the new development proposal, with a collection of three and four-bedroom apartments set to sit above the space.&nbsp;The owners (Cavan Properties) built the original caf&eacute; for the local community in 2013 and wish to retain its operation in keeping with Nobby&rsquo;s beach lifestyle. The site forms a focal point of the future connection between the proposed Nobby Beach light rail station and Mermaid Beach.

BDA Architecture were engaged to design the project which will deliver six luxury apartments, designed in a two apartments per floor arrangement, with the exception of the ground floor and the upper most residential level of the development

<img alt="" height="1076" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/screen_shot_2022-04-21_at_2.49.21_pm.png" width="1178" />

Main indoor living areas and bedrooms are oriented toward the street frontage of Lavarack Road and Albatross Avenue, where they lead out onto generous outdoor living spaces capturing unobstructed ocean views,&nbsp;designed to create a &lsquo;light-weight&rsquo; sense of built form presence in the streetscape which is achieved by the clean sleek lines of the balcony edges which are landscaped and complemented by glass balustrades and fluted concrete.

The ground floor level of the proposed development is divided into two distinct sections, that being the BSKT caf&eacute; and a ground floor apartment.

The roof terrace feature of the building creates a signature cap to the built form, carrying through the clean straight horizontal lines achieved by the balcony form in the levels below, and emphasising the contemporary coastal architectural theme of the development.

The roof terrace is a private recreation space for the full storey penthouse level below comprising a pool, sundeck, sunken terrace and barbeque area with dining and lounge seating.

The south-western corner will home undercover facilities such as a laundry, powder room, plant room, internal staircase, lift shaft and fire stairs.

The perimeter will incorporate planters, continuing the green space up the building, while reducing the perceived bulk and scale of the building. The planting around the terrace level will contribute to the bespoke architectural design of the building while also providing level of privacy to the residents.

<img alt="" height="806" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/screen_shot_2022-04-21_at_2.49.42_pm.png" width="1176" />

The ground floor apartment comprises three-bedrooms, each with ensuites and walk in robes, situated within the south-eastern area of the ground floor. A laundry, powder room and study is within the central portion of the floor plan, while an open floor plan kitchen, dining and living room is located on the north-eastern area of the apartment. An expansive terrace wraps around the extent of the north, east and southern side of the ground floor apartment, with private pedestrian access to the terrace of the ground floor apartment granted via Lavarack Road.

Four three-bedroom apartments will occupy levels one and two, with two per level, all with walk in robes and ensuites, a powder room, study and a laundry. The main indoor living and dining areas lead directly onto expansive private open space balconies with some apartment oriented towards the street frontages of Lavarack Road and Albatross Avenue, optimising access to natural daylight and breezes.

Level three will comprise the penthouse, consisting of the master suite on the south-eastern corner of the floor plate. The remaining three-bedrooms are situated on the southwestern area and all include walk in robes and ensuites. A wine cellar, butlers pantry, study, open floor plan kitchen, dining and living area are located in the centre of the apartment, with a large private balcony situated off the main indoor living area.

Stuart Kirk, SK2 Founder and Director,&nbsp;said the group were expecting interest from a range of potential buyers, with professionals and downsizers the most likely due to the sites premier positioning within the highly desired Mermaid Beach area.&nbsp;

&quot;Mermaid Beach has long been the premier beachfront location of the Gold Coast. This project activates a key site within the suburb to offer a&nbsp;premium residential product to the market and it also secures the future operation of the popular BSKT Cafe,&quot; he said.&nbsp;

SK2 have two other high-end residential projects in the pipeline for the&nbsp;Mermaid Beach area, including 33 Albatross Avenue, which is set to comprise six luxury apartments,&nbsp;and 84 Petrel Avenue, a three-storey four-apartment project.&nbsp;

Gold Coast locals have descended on Melbourne developer Hirsch &amp; Faigen&#39;s third Gold Coast apartment project, Yves.

The Mermaid Beach development is now 50 per cent&nbsp;sold since its launch, which has prompted Hirsch &amp; Faigen to bring forward construction, which will be handled by Hutchinsons, to May.

Most of the buyers have been local to the Gold Coast, the majority coming from within 50km of Mermaid Beach.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=102451 project_image_fid=186075]

&ldquo;Many of these buyers are local downsizers, and even some local first home buyers, all of which have been enticed by Yves proximity to key amenities including the beachfront, Pacific Fair, the Gold Coast Highway and Broadbeach, while remaining secluded in its own private pocket,&rdquo; Hirsch and Faigen&rsquo;s QLD Sales Manager, Alex Jokovich, said.

&ldquo;I think the locality of buyers we&rsquo;ve welcomed is a huge testament to Yves&rsquo; appeal to discerning locals who have a deep appreciation and understanding of the projects positioning in one of the coasts&rsquo; most coveted residential addresses.&rdquo;

Designed by Rothelowman, Yves will rise 26 levels at 7-9 Mermaid Avenue and comprise 145 apartments.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=102451 project_image_fid=186076]

Hirsch &amp; Faigen Co-Founder Daniel Faigen said, as with each of their&nbsp;Gold Coast projects, they wanted to create something that differentiated them from the market.

&quot;I think the sales we&rsquo;ve achieved to date are a strong indication that our aptitude for quality design and remarkable architecture are resonating with buyers.&quot;

Prices for remaining Yves apartments range from $875,000 to $2.495 million.

Yves&rsquo; ultra-exclusive penthouse collection remains for sale, offering&nbsp;335 sqm of living space.&nbsp;Prices for the penthouse collection range from $4.25 million to $5.5 million.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=102451 project_image_fid=186078]

The brief shelf life of Hirsch and Faigen product has become a family narrative across the coast, after the developer notched successive sell-outs in its first two forays onto the Gold Coast &ndash; in Hemingway Palm Beach and Emerson Kirra.

&ldquo;Given the rate with which apartments have been purchased to date, we expect the remaining apartments to sell out fast,&rdquo;&nbsp;Jokovich added.

Yves will feature an array of residents only amenities, which will feature a&nbsp;20-metre lap pool, children&rsquo;s garden, fully equipped gym and yoga studio, wellness spa and sauna, as well as a private rooftop sky lounge and wine bar.

[smartcode_project_cta: project_id=102451]

It’s been a phenomenon driven by local buyers, with a vast majority of Yves purchasers coming from within a 50-kilometre radius of Mermaid Beach.

The Queensland-based developers MAYD Group have a growing pipeline of projects across Southeast Queensland, with four boutique residential development applications lodged with the City of Gold Coast.

Making a turn to focus more exclusively on luxury, boutique developments, residences will feature high-end finishes with coastal inspired interiors, shifting their focus to some of the most sought-after coastlines in Australia, like Mermaid Beach, where the group have lodged four multi-residential development applications for.

The Seagull Avenue project will see four full-floor units created, with three-bedrooms and two-bathrooms.

Designed by Architects, Studio Workshop, there will be a private rooftop entertainment area, including a rooftop deck, bar and pool. Basement parking will be provided for all residents.

The groups Chairlift Avenue site sits on the corner of Chairlift Avenue and Petrel Avenue, where they will construct eight luxury units, including two lower-penthouses, and an upper penthouse, that will feature a rooftop terrace, alfresco, plunge pool and lounge area.

Designed by Plus Architecture, these units will be three-bedrooms and three-bathrooms, all with basement level car parking.

Alongside landscape design which provides a unique, contemporary, and sophisticated character, the design intends to cater for its residents&#39; modern lifestyle requirements and encourage outdoor living and an active engagement with the beach environment.

MAYD will demolish an older residential building at 120 Hedges Avenue with plans for two luxury, four-storey houses.

Level one will comprise four-bedrooms, while the living areas, main kitchen and dining are on level two.

Level three is the rooftop level, inclusive of enclosed entertainment spaces, dry bars, and a rooftop pool, with the basement level featuring a wine/whiskey cellar, storage rooms, a surfboard storeroom, and a gym.

The group&rsquo;s final multi-residential development is for Seaside Avenue, which will see another three full-floor luxury units crafted, with a double-storey penthouse.

This development has plans for a rooftop pool and terrace, as well as entertainment areas scattered throughout.

The MAYD Group was founded last year in 2021 by Todd Mould, having&nbsp;previously worked as a builder, by trade, in the construction and property development industry for over 15 years.&nbsp;

Making a turn to focus more exclusively on luxury, boutique developments, MAYD Group has lodged four multi-residential development applications in Mermaid Beach 

MAYD Group to develop four boutique residential sites in Mermaid Beach 

You can almost count on one hand the number of high-rise apartment developments to launch in Mermaid Beach in the last five years.

The last two, Dawn and Bela, both by the South East Queensland developer Mosaic Property Group, sold out all of its 90-or so apartments within a few weeks last year, such the rarity of high-rise opportunities.

The latest opportunity comes from the Melbourne developer Hirsch &amp; Faigen, who are seeing similarly quick-fire success at Yves, their $200 million, three-tower development at 7-9 Mermaid Avenue, designed by the renowned architecture firm Rothelowman.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=102451 project_image_fid=186075]

They&#39;ve sold half of the 146 apartments in the first two months of marketing, unsurprisingly with locals dominating the purchasing.

Hirsch and Faigen&rsquo;s QLD Sales Manager, Alex Jokovich, said the locality of buyers&nbsp;is a huge testament to Yves&rsquo; appeal to discerning locals who have a deep appreciation and understanding of the projects positioning in one of the coasts&rsquo; most coveted residential addresses.

Rothelowman&nbsp;noted the site presented a unique opportunity to create a transitional tower project at the junction between the intensity of cosmopolitan Broadbeach and the more traditional/ laidback vestiges that is well defined by places such as Mermaid Beach.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=102451 project_image_fid=186075]

&quot;Between the sleepless Broadbeach &amp; gentrified Burleigh, Mermaid Beach captures the diminishing modesty&nbsp;of the Gold Coast,&quot;&nbsp;Rothelowman&nbsp;wrote in their design statement to the Gold Coast City Council.

&quot;It is a microcosm with cafes, craft and culture. A community of locals and tourists relishing a more humble urban lifestyle than the north &amp; south.&quot;

Entry to Yves is through a&nbsp;deliberately intimate arrival experience which channels residents through lush subtropical plantings towards the entry, where residents and guests are then greeted by an expansive four-storey-height lobby space.

Yves comprises&nbsp;one, two and three-bedroom designs, in addition to the premium offerings of two four-bedroom, half-floor sub-penthouses and a single full-floor penthouse.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=102451 project_image_fid=186074]

High-rise developments always offer a great opportunity to create more extensive amenity spaces than a low-rise development to service its higher density.

Yves residents get exclusive access to the residents&rsquo; level 03 recreation deck, which features a resort-style pool, a gym, a sauna, an outdoor barbecue area and a kid&rsquo;s play space.

There&#39;s further amenity on the level 24 rooftop terrace, with a private bookable dining space and resident&rsquo;s lounge offering views over the Gold Coast.
