<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/broadbeach-qld-4218">Broadbeach</a> offers plenty of reasons to live vertically, but moving from a substantial family home into an apartment can expose the compromises of high-density living. Privacy, room for guests and usable living space tend to matter more when an apartment is intended as a permanent home rather than an occasional coastal base.

A typical residential floor at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/the-eveleigh-broadbeach-7-9-surf-parade-broadbeach-qld-4218">The Eveleigh</a>, on Surf Parade,&nbsp;contains just four apartments. The 94-residence development by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/hirsch-faigen">Hirsch &amp; Faigen</a> is predominantly made up of expansive three-bedroom homes, with a limited collection of half-floor penthouses above.

Across the apartment floors, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/rothelowman">Rothelowman</a> has used the relatively limited number of residences to give each home greater access to natural light and outlook. Living spaces extend towards full-height glazing, while a series of bay windows frame selected views across the Pacific Ocean, city and hinterland rather than treating the building edge as a continuous wall of glass.

&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=149670 project_image_fid=360965]

“The apartment floors deliver a collection of homes that embrace controlled outlook via a series of bay windows deliberately framing moments of view,” Rothelowman Director Kim Lowman said.

From outside, those projecting forms contribute to the tower’s faceted profile. Strong horizontal and vertical elements establish its proportions, while the changing position of the sun alters the light, shadow and reflection across the façade throughout the day.

The same attention moves inside the apartments, where the material palette combines warm timber, natural stone, metallic detailing and softer curved forms. Kitchens sit within the main living zone, with stone island benches, integrated joinery and European appliances, before the living areas extend towards the glazing and the outlook.

&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=149670 project_image_fid=360981]

Three genuine bedrooms provide room to accommodate family and guests, while two secure car spaces and storage address some of the practical considerations that can become more noticeable when moving from a larger home. Feedback from the display suite has centred on the warmth and restraint of the interiors, with buyers commenting that the residences feel like homes rather than conventional coastal apartments.

A limited collection of half-floor penthouses occupies the upper levels, increasing the scale of the living spaces and adding private balconies and elevated finishes. From this position, the outlook extends between the ocean and hinterland.

Outside the private residences, The Eveleigh separates its shared spaces between the podium and rooftop. The podium is centred on wellness, with subtropical landscaping surrounding a swimming pool and pool terrace, yoga garden, private gymnasium, sauna and hot and cold plunge facilities. Landscaped retreats and pavilions provide additional places to sit away from the main recreation areas.

&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=149670 project_image_fid=360966]

Higher in the building, a rooftop pavilion and private dining suite sit alongside resident lounge, barbecue and outdoor dining areas, opening towards panoramic views across the ocean, city and hinterland.

“Buyers are no longer just looking for an apartment, but a lifestyle where they can relax, reset, and enjoy a balanced way of living,” Hirsch &amp; Faigen Director of Sales Matt George said.

Interest to date has come from established owner-occupiers and interstate lifestyle purchasers, including buyers planning a future move to the Gold Coast. Many are coming from larger homes and want to reduce ongoing maintenance without giving up space for family and guests, privacy, two car spaces or the ability to entertain at home.

&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=149670 project_image_fid=360969]

Much of that daily life can also take place beyond the building without requiring a drive. Kurrawa Beach and Pratten Park are an easy walk from Surf Parade, while Pacific Fair, Oracle Boulevard, The Oasis, restaurants, cafés, entertainment and public transport are also within walking distance.

The Eveleigh is Hirsch &amp; Faigen's fourth Gold Coast development since entering the market in 2021, following The Hemingway at Palm Beach, The Emerson at Kirra and Yves at Mermaid Beach. Each of the preceding projects sold out before completion.

“Broadbeach had been on our radar throughout our time operating on the Gold Coast,” the developer said. “Following our projects in Palm Beach, Kirra and Mermaid Beach, Broadbeach represented the natural next step for the business.”

The Surf Parade site brought together proximity to the beach, protected coastal outlooks and walkability to dining, shopping and recreation. Hirsch &amp; Faigen also identified the street as an emerging premium residential address, with enough separation from Broadbeach's busier destinations to retain a quieter environment at home.

The Eveleigh is now under construction by Maxcon, with completion forecast for mid-2028. Three-bedroom residences are currently available from $2.87 million.

The Eveleigh brings house-like apartments to Broadbeach

A long-stalled Campbelltown development site is back in play, with new plans for 139 apartments set to supersede a mixed-use scheme approved almost a decade ago but never built.

The new proposal for 28 Cordeaux Street would deliver 116 market and 23 affordable apartments in a part 14-storey building, bringing a substantial new project into a Campbelltown market where new apartment supply remains limited.

Plans have been filed over the 3,092 sqm corner site at Moore-Oxley Street, around 600 metres from Campbelltown Railway Station and the city-centre retail core.

The site already carries a mixed-use residential approval dating to 2016. Doroch Architects has now been engaged on a larger replacement scheme, which is progressing as a State Significant Development Application following a Housing Delivery Authority determination in August 2025.

The apartment mix comprises 39 one-bedroom, 72 two-bedroom and 28 three-bedroom residences. Two-bedroom apartments make up just over half of the project, while three-bedroom homes account for 20 per cent.

<img alt="First look: New 139-apartment plans revive long-stalled Campbelltown city centre site" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="136dd5b9-3791-4da6-9e31-76f533f5b4de" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Campbelltown%20da2.png?VersionId=LgOSy9nwf5u.MGswBBwaGGxuX8QpHSl_" />

Of the 139 apartments, 23 will be delivered as affordable housing under the in-fill affordable housing provisions of the Housing SEPP. The affordable component represents 15 per cent of the residential gross floor area and will be managed by a registered Community Housing Provider.

Doroch has sought to break the scale of the building into two distinct elements, with a masonry podium of around four storeys establishing the street edge before the residential tower steps back above.

The corner position has shaped that approach. Cordeaux Street faces toward the commercial and civic centre, while Moore-Oxley Street leads into the lower-scale residential neighbourhood to the south, and the design verification report describes the site as "bridging the commercial core to the north and established residential areas to the south."

The podium will be expressed predominantly in face brick, while the upper levels shift to brushed and grooved concrete cladding with darker metal detailing. Recessed sections, deep balcony edges and landscaping break down the upper form, with an approximately 11.8-metre setback to the northern boundary addressing the adjoining St Peters Anglican School.

Campbelltown has been starved of new residential developments in the last decade.

The only other notable development set to come to market this year is ALAND's Queen Square, a mixed-use precinct on over two hectares that will comprise apartments above a vibrant ground-level retail and hospitality dining precinct.

Queensland builder-developer MAYD has revealed the first look at its major North Kirra beachfront development, lodging amended plans that reduce the number of apartments and increase the proportion of larger residences.

The project is planned across a substantial 4,742 sqm amalgamated site spanning seven lots at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/2-6-pacific-parade-bilinga-qld-4225">2-6 Pacific Parade</a> and 27-33 Golden Four Drive in Bilin​ga, directly opposite Nor​th Kirra Beach.

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/mayd-group">MAYD</a> secured the site for $32.5 million in 2025, in what was one of the Gold Coast's largest property transactions of the year.

The development will be delivered across two stages, with the first stage carrying an estimated gross realisation value of around $360 million.

The latest amendments seek to reduce the overall apartment count and shift the project further toward the owner-occupier market, with larger residences designed for buyers wanting considerably more space than traditionally offered in a beachfront apartment.

The residential mix will include townhomes, oversized two-bedroom apartments, substantial three-bedroom residences and four-bedroom homes.

MAYD has appointed Cera Stribley to lead the architecture and interiors, with the Melbourne-based design practice drawing on the beachfront setting through a series of ocean-facing terraces and heavily landscaped balconies.

Strong horizontal forms and curved balconies will define the exterior, with subtropical landscaping integrated throughout the building to soften the built form and increase the connection between the residences and the beachfront.

The project will also include an extensive collection of resident wellness and lifestyle facilities, continuing the broader shift across the Gold Coast's luxury apartment market toward larger homes supported by resort-style amenity.

<img alt="MAYD" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="d1bcbb05-e659-4b47-8bd4-1e595315e2ad" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-08-27%20at%202.05.03%E2%80%AFPM.png?VersionId=jj0XEud1X1DuLt7_KyElhjMdZGOXmLHP" />

MAYD Founder Todd Mould said North Kirra was increasingly appealing to buyers attracted to the more established, lower-density character of the southern Gold Coast.

"North Kirra presents one of the most compelling luxury residential opportunities currently emerging in Australia, combining absolute beachfront with the character and authenticity that buyers are increasingly seeking, and the same sense of tight-knit community that defined Burleigh and Currumbin perhaps 10 or 15 years ago," Mould said.

"With Gold Coast Airport on its doorstep, it also offers a level of accessibility that broadens its appeal across almost every market demographic."

The project comes as the southern Gold Coast continues to attract an increasing share of high-end apartment development and buyer activity.

Kirra in particular has emerged as one of the region's more tightly held beachfront markets, with its relatively low-density character, established surf and hospitality scene and proximity to Gold Coast Airport differentiating it from the higher-density markets further north.

Mould said those characteristics had informed the approach MAYD and Cera Stribley had taken to the project.

"We've worked closely with Cera Stribley to create a vision that is deeply connected to its surroundings," he said.

"Inspired by the coastline itself, the architecture has been shaped around space, privacy and resort-style living, creating a collection of homes that reflects the next generation of luxury on the southern Gold Coast."

MOTIV Managing Director Carly Cottam, who has been appointed to market the project, said buyer attention had continued to move south along the Gold Coast.

"Purchasers who may once have defaulted to Broadbeach, Main Beach or Surfers Paradise are increasingly recognising the value of a genuine beachfront location that offers lower density, strong amenity and a more established sense of community," Cottam said.

"Kirra has a powerful combination of growing demand and genuine scarcity. Beachfront supply is inherently constrained, the area remains relatively low density, and buyers are increasingly placing a premium on locations that feel established, uncrowded and authentic rather than heavily developed."

Cottam said the proximity to Gold Coast Airport was also proving increasingly important for interstate and second-home buyers.

"Being minutes from Gold Coast Airport makes it particularly compelling for interstate buyers, frequent travellers and second-home purchasers who can access an authentic coastal lifestyle almost immediately after stepping off a flight."

The acquisition takes MAYD's active development portfolio to more than $500 million, with the North Kirra project representing one of its largest undertakings to date.

MAYD is targeting an early 2027 launch.

First look at MAYD's North Kirra mixed-use precinct

<main data-perf-region="main">
Castle Hill, the longtime hub of the Hills District, has been one of the major beneficiaries of Sydney's Metro expansion, with improved connectivity helping drive continued population growth, development and buyer demand across the Hills District.

But despite that growth, the suburb has seen relatively few major new apartment projects brought to market over the past 18 months.

Hills District developer Reve Group is looking to fill that gap with <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/nova-r-ve-castle-hill-2-garthowen-crescent-castle-hill-nsw-2154">Nova Rêve</a>, a major new mixed-use precinct on the corner of Garthowen Crescent and Old Castle Hill Road, a short walk from Castle Hill Metro Station and Castle Towers.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=152737 project_image_fid=377679]

The project will comprise three residential towers alongside a hotel, restaurants, cafes and a skybar, more than 1,600 sqm of ground-floor retail and almost an acre of landscaped gardens.

It represents the largest project undertaken by Reve Group, the development arm of the Kassis family, which has been building across the Hills District for more than 30 years through Kassis Homes.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=152737 project_image_fid=377675]

Nova Rêve also represents a significant step up from the family's first apartment development, Grand Rêve, which was delivered nearby on Garthowen Crescent.

Grand Rêve introduced larger, house-like apartment layouts and premium inclusions including Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances to the Castle Hill market.

Nova Rêve takes that approach to a precinct scale, combining the residential component with hospitality, retail and substantial public and resident landscaping.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=152737 project_image_fid=377685]

Reve Group Managing Director Sam Kassis said the project reflected the family's three decades of building in the Hills, which has evolved from trophy homes on quarter-acre blocks to larger-scale apartment development.

"Grand Rêve was our first apartment project here and it showed us what this pocket of Castle Hill could be. Nova Rêve is the refinement of that idea: not just apartments, but a place the whole suburb can use," Kassis said.

A key part of that approach is the hotel, which has been designed to operate as an amenity for the wider Castle Hill community rather than solely hotel guests.

It will include restaurants, cafes, skybars and all-day dining, alongside conference and event facilities catering to business functions, community groups and private events.

At ground level, more than 1,600 sqm of shops and cafes will open onto the surrounding streets and landscaped areas.

Almost an acre of gardens designed by Land and Form Studios will run through the precinct, incorporating pathways, seating, barbecue areas and children's play spaces.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=152737 project_image_fid=377680]

Reve Group's Romio Georges said creating an active ground plane had been central to the planning of Nova Rêve.

"There are gardens with pathways, barbecues, seating and play areas, shops and cafes opening onto the street, and a hotel with restaurants and a skybar that anyone in Castle Hill can walk into," Georges said.

The project's elevated position on one of Sydney's highest ridgelines will also provide apartments with outlooks toward the Sydney skyline, surrounding parkland and the Blue Mountains.

More than 80 per cent of the apartments will occupy corner positions, with Turner responsible for both the architecture and interiors.

Entrepreneur Jennifer Zanich has downsized from Kurraba Point, settling on an apartment in Potts Point.
The Paloma Mobile co-founder has paid $1.98 million for a contemporary Challis Avenue apartment in the <a href="https://www.realestate.com.au/sold/property-unit-nsw-potts+point-125004510" target="_blank">Tonkin Zulaikha Greet designed building</a>.
Marketed as a house-like residence by Di Jones selling agents Jeremy Brink, the double height apartment has two bedrooms and two bathrooms.
Garage-style operable doors open to an urban rooftop garden.
Zanich sold her four bedroom Shellcove Road home for $8.11 million after asking $7 million plus.
She had owned it since 1998 when she paid $2.42 million.
Last year Zanich took over as managing partner at US start-up lab Stacked Venture Builder.

Australian model, singer and actor Erika Heynatz can attest, like many Sydney landlords, knows that there's been little rental price growth in investment properties over recent years.
The former Home and Away star quickly found a tenant last month for her former Potts Point bolthole apartment but at $495 a week, it was just $30 more than its 2011 initial asking rental.
Complete with city skyline, Opera House and Harbour glimpses from its top floor Macleay Street location, it was came fully furnished through McGrath agent James Wragge.
Sydney rental yields for the typical $750,000 median price sit at a low 3.7 percent, according to the latest CoreLogic index.
There no doubt been good price growth as Heynatz paid $342,500 for the 29 sqm studio in the Chimes building in 2004, before she married long time partner, Winchester O'Rourke director Andrew Kingston, in 2007.
The couple now reside in Collaroy, the iconic Shipmates building on the Northern Beaches peninsula which has been popular spot for the Home and Away cast members to drop anchor.
Heynatz was only briefly on Home and Away in 2015, playing school teacher Charlotte King whose character was murdered six months later by Josh Barrett, played by Jackson Gallagher.
Her departure came around the time she and Kingston had their baby.
Heynatz recently posted a picture to her Instagram of her, Andrew and Charlie celebrating their 10th wedding anniversary.
Kingston's 2006 proposal came amid Heynatz marking on her signing career.
Heynatz had left her role as host of the Foxtel reality TV show Australia's Next Top Model to pursue singing.  
It was the same year she won the show It Takes Two when she partnered tenor David Hobson beating the talented Guy Sebastian and swimmer Sarah Ryan.
Heynatz once suggested that the best view of Sydney was "at my place" noting the view "makes it pretty hard to beat."
She added through that she had the benefit - at the time - of escaping from the city spending half her time in the northern beaches.

Westpac senior executive George Frazis has bought a inner city investment bolthole in Potts Point.
He's paid $1,665,000 for the <a href="https://www.realestate.com.au/sold/property-apartment-nsw-potts+point-124914630" target="_blank">Lynn Malone-designed two level apartment</a> (above) on the Rockwall Crescent cul de sac.
Set on the top floor of a boutique block on nine, the apartment has just the one bedroom with two bathrooms.
There's a rooftop garden terrace in the apartment which sold off the plan at $880,000 in 2013.
Frazis, formerly the St George Bank chief executive, sold a three bedroom apartment in Bondi's Beach House for $6.5 million last month.
He resides an $8 million two level penthouse, also in Bondi.
Down the road entrepreneur Jennifer Zanich, having sold in Kurraba Point, has paid $1.98 million for a <a href="https://www.realestate.com.au/sold/property-unit-nsw-potts+point-125004510" target="_blank">contemporary Challis Avenue apartment</a> in a Tonkin Zulaikha Greet designed building.

The Sydney Theatre Company artistic director Kip Williams has sold his one bedroom Potts Point apartment for more than $750,000.
It sold through his older brother Evan Williams at Ray White Double Bay.
The one bedroom unit sold to a local buyer in under a week.
Kip Williams bought his first home in 2012 for $405,000, when he’d just started at STC.
The apartment backs onto Lannkelly Place where Kip is a regular at the snug laneway cafe called Room 10. 
Evan Williams marketed the top floor apartment with Parisian flair "for a premium price of $18,000 per square metre”.

A Potts Point car parking space fetched $222,000 at weekend auction, which the Di Jones sales agent declared “top dollar”.
Bidding opened at $120,000 for the 15.8 square metre space in The Chimes apartment block at 101/45-53 Macleay Street.
It last sold at $35,000 in 1990, reflecting seven percent annual growth.
The sale to a local resident from further down the street through Di Jones agent Jeremy Brink equated to $14,000 per square metre.
It was up on the most recent Laing Real Estate sale of a 16sqm block in February around the corner on Challis Avenue which at $190,000 equated to $12,666 per square metre. 
“The shifting market isn’t having an impact on car space prices,” Di Jones agent Jeremy Brink told The Sunday Telegraph.
<div>
There were three of the five registered parties who bid.
The successful bidder had lived in Potts Point for 20 years and intended the car spot for his personal use.
</div>
There’d been a $264,000 sale of a car space in the same block in May last year, through Greg McKinley of Richardson &amp; Wrench Potts Point, but that had been bigger at 26 square metres.
It could still only fit one car.
<img src="https://www.urban.com.au/images/2015/05/28/Screen%20Shot%202015-05-29%20at%208.12.09%20AM.png" width="700" height="425">
The sale reflected around $10,000 a square metre for the longer then normal 26 square metre space, but single car space.
The 10-storey, 80 unit Chimes strata block was registered in 1964 when the standard EJ Holden cost the equivalent of $2102.

Socialite Heidi Onisforou has secured her next renovation project, another Victorian terrace in Potts Point which was snapped up off-market.
Title records show she has paid $4.1 million for the home under a company name, suggesting it won't be her home. 
It's the long time home of veteran lawyer Ezekiel Solomon, who bought the Victoria Street home for $75,000 in 1977, in the midst of the strip's heritage battle.
Solomon has recently settled on a $4.55 million, three bedroom apartment in the Cosmopolitan complex in Double Bay.
Onisforou lives in a flat above Zinc cafe after she downsized from her Challis Avenue project, the 1890s Saraville, which sold for a suburb record $13 million last year.

International music sensation Connie Mitchell has quickly cashed in her one bedroom Potts Point investment apartment accepting a $975,000 pre-auction offer.
The Sneaky Sound System singer paid $670,000 off the plan for <a href="https://www.realestate.com.au/sold/property-apartment-nsw-potts+point-124964258" target="_blank">fifth floor apartment</a> in the historic Hampton in 2011 following the hotel's refurbishment.
Its sale price through McGrath selling agent Simon Exleton, who had an initial $850,000 price guidance, reflected a nice 7 percent annual price growth.
It had been a $650 a week rental for the past few years to the same tenant, showing a 3.5 percent yield.
Mitchell sold as she and husband, fellow Sneaky musician 'Black' Angus McDonald, have eyes on new digs in Mykonos, an island of Greece, where they relocated their popular Sneaky Sundays dance sessions.
They've been playing to a few thousand people Sunday nights on the beach at Scorpios given the couple spend an annual three month residency on the Greek island during the European summer.
The couple wed in Ibiza in 2015 and had their first child, Iggy Ajax McDonald, in August last year.
Of course Sneaky Sundays had previously been a long standing night at nearby Hugo's bar on Bayswater Road for 10 years, however the lockout laws around the area ended the night, and inevitably Hugo's bar.
Mitchell has spoken out against the lockout laws, but she is the beneficiary now as neighbourhood prices have soared.
The strip has seen a shift in its demographics to professionals, prompting Exleton to market the over-sized one bedroom apartment as coming with "New York style vistas offers East Village - Manhattan feel." 
Angus also owned in the Hampton however sold for $725,000 in 2014, at just $8000 more than his off the plan purchase price.
Those proceeds went towards a second floor recording studio and swimming pool at their home in Bondi, which they intend keeping. 
In 1996, when she was just 18 years old, Mitchell was a founding member of Primary, an Australian techno band.
She was briefly a vocalist for Machine Gun Fellatio before making her big break in 2004 when she joined Sneaky Sound System.
Angus McDonald and Daimon Downey asked Mitchell to become their singer when she was playing guitar with a friend in a park.
"I thought they were a bit dodgy... You know, two guys coming up to you, excited, jumping around a bit, saying 'Come to our studio'", she said.
Their breakthrough single came in 2006 with I Love It, which peaked a number 24 on the ARIA Singles Chart.
It was in the top 100 for a then record 73 weeks by January 2008.
Mitchell spent a few weeks in 2007 recording vocals for US rapper Kanye West in LA featuring on four tracks on his album, Graduation.
With Sneaky Sound System, Mitchell supported Robbie Williams and Scissor Sisters.
Mitchell has since appeared on albums by West, Snoop Dogg and Rick Ross.
They play annually at a New Year's Day party at Icebergs.

Sneaky Sound System's Connie Mitchell sells Potts Point investment

<html><body>
International music sensation Connie Mitchell is cashing in on her Potts Point investment apartment.
The Sneaky Sound System singer paid $670,000 off the plan for fifth floor apartment in the historic Hampton in 2010.
It was the first pick of apartments that emerged following the hotel's refurbishment.
The over-sized one bedroom apartment with New York style vistas offers East Village - Manhattan feel in the heart of Potts Point, according to McGrath Edgecliff listing agent Simon Exleton.
He has a price guidance of $850,000 for its April 4 auction date.
It had been a $650 a week rental for the past few years to the same tenant, showing a five percent yield.
Mitchell is selling up as she has eyes on new digs in Mykonos, an island of Greece, where she and husband, fellow Sneaky musician 'Black' Angus McDonald, relocated their hugely popular Sneaky Sundays.
They've been playing to a few thousand people every Sunday night on the beach at Scorpios.
The couple spend an annual three month residency on the Greek island during the European summer and are looking for a holiday home there.
Of course Sneaky Sundays had previously been a long standing night at nearby Hugo's bar for 10 years, however the lockout laws around the area ended the night, and inevitably Hugo's bar.
Mitchell has spoken out against the lockout laws, suggesting the city was 'a bit of a joke'.
But she may be the beneficiary now however, as neighbourhood prices have soared since the lockout laws were established and as the strip sees a shift in its demographics to professionals.
Angus also bought off the plan in the Hampton however sold for $725,000 in 2014.
The proceeds went to adding a second floor recording studio and swimming pool to their home in Bondi, which they intend on hanging on to. 
In 1996, when she was just 18 years old, Mitchell was a founding member of Primary, an Australian techno band.
She was briefly a vocalist for Machine Gun Fellatio before making her big break in 2004 when she joined Sneaky Sound System.
