<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.

First Look: Sherlock Construction pitches apartments for low-rise Deception Bay

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.

The 2017 retail market on the Sunshine Coast will likely continue in the same vein as the past six months, according to Herron Todd White’s recent report.
The property valuation firm says that the following things will most likely occur:
<ul>
<li>Demand for sub $2 million well leased retail properties is likely to remain strong.</li>
<li>Supply of these properties should remain tight with owners having few reasons to sell.</li>
<li>Demand for properties over this level are highly dependant upon tenant strength, however we are seeing transactions occur for older premises with either redevelopment potential or the potential to refurbish and re-let.</li>
<li>Vacancy levels in the prime locations of Hastings Street, Mooloolaba Esplanade, Cotton Tree and David Low Way, Coolum Beach are expected to remain tight. Rental rates in these areas may experience upward pressure.</li>
<li>Within the bulky goods market, vacancy levels are decreasing after significant supply added during 2015 and 2016.</li>
</ul>
Recent transactions in the market include:
<ol>
<li>Tewantin Woolworths for $17.3 million at a yield of 5.76% in November 2016.</li>
<li>Subway Maroochydore for $1.46 million at a yield of 5.63% in November 2016.</li>
<li>Retail Strata, Mooloolaba Esplanade at $1.55 million, yield of 7.41%, transacted December 2016.</li>
<li>Bulky Goods Strata, Noosaville for $4.2 million, yields 7.32%, deal struck November 2016.</li>
</ol>
The Point, Buddina is a 2,500 square metre retail development comprising 15 tenancies ranging in size from 12 square metres to 680 square metres.
Asking rentals range from $450 to $1,800 per square metre net per annum. Construction has commenced with some pre-leasing commitments achieved.
"The only caution in the market remains that as yields compress, whether there is a big enough yield differentiation between primary and secondary assets," the report said.
The retail sector in Gladstone for 2017 is forecast to continue at a similar pace to 2016, with rationalisation of rentals to more affordable and maintainable levels for local retailers and continued high vacancy levels in secondary locations.
“We do not consider this is likely to change pace until there is commencement of substantial new local projects,” the report stated.
Whilst there is still no announced start date for the Stockland redevelopment (approved in 2014), some positive news to the retail sector is the opening of the new Aldi store on the corner of Boles Street and Breslin Street.
The store is set to open in early March. Property sales activity is likely to remain slow.

Sunshine Coast's retail market has strong appetite for sub-$2 million properties: HTW 

<html><body>
Palmview’s largest masterplanned community, Harmony, has fast-tracked the release of its latest land lots.
The $3 billion residential project is located on the Sunshine Coast, within close proximity to amenities including the University of the Sunshine Coast, the new Kawana healthcare precinct and shopping strips at Sippy Downs and Kawana.
Developer AVID Property Group has now released an additional 91 land lots at Harmony, following an increased appetite for affordable land options in the region and the median price of land rising by almost 5 per cent from 2015 to 2016.
“Residential property demand is surging in the region and as prices continue to rise, buyers are increasingly looking for affordable land options,” said Bruce Harper, AVID Property Group Queensland general manager.
“With new land lots starting from $218,400, the masterplanned community is catering to wide range of buyers and delivering affordable land lots in the heart of the Sunshine Coast,” he explained.
The population of the Sunshine Coast projected to grow to almost 453,000 by 2036, with Harmony anticipated to deliver more than 4,800 homes for 12,000 future residents.
“As one of Australia’s premier lifestyle destinations, there’s no wonder buyers are flocking to the area with its pristine beaches and beautiful hinterland right at your doorstep,” Harper added.
Since its official launch last year, Harmony has become the first ‘6 Leaf’ EnviroDevelopment masterplanned community to be certified in South East Queensland by the Urban Development Institute of Australia.

“Its prime location at the gateway to the emerging town centre and marina means a vibrant mix of waterfront dining, shopping and professional services is a short 100m stroll away, accessible by private pedestrian access from each residence,’’ he said.
"Priced from $540,000 to $660,000, the terrace homes would appeal to retirees, downsizers, professionals and small families.

A classic beach house on the Sunshine Coast has been snapped up by a local buyer for $4 million.
The 3 Wilson Avenue property at Caloundra’s Dicky Beach comprises four bedrooms and is set on a 1,249 sqm site over two adjoining lots. It was sold after 33 years of ownership.
The elevated position combines sweeping views north to Point Cartwright and south to Moffat Beach with beachfront access.
The marketing campaign was conducted by Peter Neale of Savills Residential.
<img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/c_scale,w_580,q_auto:good/https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/po.images/2017/02/28/3%20Wilson%20Ave%2002.jpg" alt="" style="font-size: 12.16px;">
Neale said Wilson Avenue at Dicky Beach is among the most tightly held of all beachfront addresses on the Sunshine Coast.
“These types of properties just don’t come to market very often,” he said.
“The established beach house provides a relaxed setting to enjoy the prime beachfront location and lifestyle with four bedrooms, three bathrooms, two living areas and an expansive deck running along the back of the house to enjoy the amazing ocean views and sea breezes,” he said.

Sunshine Coast beachfront property nets $4 million sale

<html><body>
The Sunshine Coast property market finished 2016 pretty well with sale volumes for the year being strong and in some areas exceeding our expectation of the growth in values, according to HTW’s February 2017 update.
The valuation firm says growth within the residential property market on the Sunshine Coast is expected to continue this year with a number of factors likely to fuel demand for housing.
"Dwelling sales within the coastal corridor between Maroochydore and Caloundra, particularly the sub $700,000 price range, are expected to continue with increased demand as a result of the much anticipated opening of the Sunshine Coast University Hospital," the report said.
A four bedroom house at <a href="https://www.realestate.com.au/property-house-qld-maroochydore-123728370?listingType=buy" target="_blank">69 Awinya Lane</a>, Maroochydore (above) has been listed for $729,000.

“The opening is expected to continue to improve market sentiment, particularly along the southern coastal strip between Maroochydore and Caloundra,” HTW says.
“This is also expected to have a major impact on the rental market within these areas.”
Construction within the Maroochydore CBD has commenced and once completed will provide a business and entertainment hub for residents and tourists alike.
The expansion of the Sunshine Coast airport and runway extension has had federal government funding approved with the private partnership yet to be announced.
 Once completed independent assessments value the economic benefit of the upgrade at $4.1 billion in the 20 years after it opens.
The northern coastal areas of the Sunshine Coast and the prestige markets in the Noosa area are expected by HTW to continue to see some growth throughout 2017.
“The strong markets and confidence of Sydney and Melbourne and more locally Brisbane areas are having a direct positive impact in the area,” the report says.
“Units are predicted to lag behind the housing market throughout 2017, however stock levels of all types of property are expected to remain relatively low which will place upward pressure on prices in some areas.
“The majority of residential development particularly in the new larger estates is primarily targeted towards the entry level market with residential lots getting smaller to improve affordability.
“2016 also saw a large increase in investor product in new estates, particularly the introduction of dual key dwellings comprising an attached one or two bedroom unit.
“The resale market for this type of product is still relatively untested with limited sales through local agents occurring in 2016.”
A significant portion of new house and land packages within these estates has also been marketed and sold to investors, both local and interstate, HTW says.
“The main concern in future is the balance between the number of owner occupiers and investors.
“Also the APRA policy to curb investment lending will continue to have an effect on the Sunshine Coast market. “
