Abadeen has released the whole-floor penthouse crowning its recently completed <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/buildings/park-residences-cremorne-2-sutherland-street-cremorne-nsw-2090">Park Residences</a> development in Cremorne, bringing the near-300 sqm residence to market for the first time.

Occupying the entire top floor of the boutique Lower North Shore development, the penthouse includes 221 sqm of internal living and a 74 sqm wraparound terrace, with a prized north-facing aspect taking in views across Middle Harbour.

The residence has been completed and fully furnished following a collaboration between Abadeen Executive Chairman Justin Brown and internationally recognised interior designer Jack Freeman, Founder and Managing Director of FREEMAN &amp; CO.

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/abadeen">Abadeen</a> and Freeman approached the penthouse as a finished home, sourcing furniture, artwork, lighting and objects from Australia and overseas.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=114246 project_image_fid=378718]

Pieces from Parisian design house Pierre Augustin Rose sit alongside contemporary artworks and bespoke lighting, with Freeman drawing on recent visits to PAD Paris and Salone del Mobile Milano for the final collection.

Brown said the aim was to create a penthouse that felt more like a large-scale private home than a traditional apartment.

"The experience begins the moment the lift doors open. You're welcomed into an elegant dining room before the home opens into an extraordinary living space framed by sun-drenched harbour views.

"Every time someone walks through the front door they pause. It's not just the view, it's the incredible sense of space, the warmth created by the northern sunlight that fills the interiors, and the way every room connects so effortlessly.

"It has all the proportions of a luxury home, while delivering the effortless lifestyle and personalised experience of living in a world-class six-star hotel, combined with the simplicity and convenience of apartment living."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=114246 project_image_fid=378713]

A secure lift provides exclusive access to the penthouse level, opening to a dedicated arrival foyer and dining area before the residence expands into its main living and entertaining spaces.

Floor-to-ceiling glazing runs across the northern side of the home, connecting the interiors with the terrace and Middle Harbour outlook.

The penthouse also features a fireplace and substantial chef's kitchen, while the wraparound terrace has been designed to accommodate both everyday outdoor living and larger-scale entertaining.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=114246 project_image_fid=378720]

Freeman said the interiors had been deliberately kept restrained to complement the scale, natural light and outlook already established by the architecture.

"The penthouse is a serene study in quiet luxury," Freeman said.

"The interior pairs soft, sculptural forms with warm timber, pale stone and a restrained neutral palette. Curated artwork and metallic accents add depth, while abundant natural light creates a calm, effortlessly refined atmosphere. In my world, less is always more."

Freeman said the approach was centred around collecting individual pieces rather than simply decorating the apartment.

"Every material, every object and every piece of furniture has been curated with intention. I am a true believer in collecting versus decorating.

"The architecture already provided extraordinary natural light, remarkable volume and an uninterrupted connection to Middle Harbour. Our role was to complement those qualities with unique one-of-a-kind pieces of fine art and collectible design sourced from recent travels around the world."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=114246 project_image_fid=378694]

Among the collection are solid bronze sculptures by Lorenzo Quinn, alongside a curated crystalware collection and pieces sourced from international design fairs.

Park Residences sits opposite Cammeray Golf Club, Cammeray Croquet Club and Grand Slam Tennis Cammeray, around 300 metres from Neutral Bay Village and its established collection of restaurants, cafés and retail.

Brown said the combination of a whole-floor floorplan, northern aspect and proximity to Neutral Bay was becoming increasingly difficult to find on the Lower North Shore.

"Completed whole-floor penthouses with a sun-drenched north-facing aspect and sweeping Middle Harbour views are exceptionally rare," Brown said.

"Add a quiet position opposite golf, croquet and tennis facilities, a level walk to Neutral Bay Village and only minutes to the CBD, and you have a lifestyle that's incredibly difficult to replicate.

"This is a home that offers the privacy and generosity of a luxury residence together with the convenience of one of Sydney's best-connected harbourside locations."

The penthouse will be exclusively marketed by SRM Residential.

Abadeen unveils penthouse at Park Residences in Cremorne

New Brisbane developer Dalcott has unveiled Marrone, the first of three residential projects it is planning in and around Browning Street in South Brisbane.

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/marrone-south-brisbane-39-browning-street-south-brisbane-qld-4101">Marrone</a> will comprise 97 predominantly two- and three-bedroom apartments, with larger residences aimed squarely at the owner-occupier market.

The project will sit in a quiet pocket of South Brisbane between South Bank and West End, close to the restaurants, cultural attractions and riverfront amenity that have driven the suburb's continued transformation.

Dalcott is targeting buyers looking for more space and amenity than has traditionally been offered in the inner-city apartment market, particularly downsizers and professionals wanting to remain close to the city.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=149951 project_image_fid=377072]

Resident facilities will be concentrated around an extensive rooftop amenity offering, including a swimming pool, spa, infrared sauna, warm and cold magnesium plunge pools, private lounge, dining room and outdoor entertaining areas.

Dalcott Managing Director Lachlan Cottee said South Brisbane's combination of lifestyle, connectivity and established character had been central to the approach to Marrone.

“South Brisbane offers a combination of lifestyle, connectivity and character that’s difficult to replicate elsewhere in Brisbane,” Cottee said.

“Our focus has been on creating homes that feel connected to that environment while providing the level of design, functionality and quality that today's owner-occupiers expect.”

The residences will feature an expressive material palette. Italian Calacatta Viola marble, known for its deep burgundy veining, will be paired with aged brass tapware, Chestnut engineered timber flooring and Tuscan Oak joinery.

<img alt="Marrone" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="b8d833da-3b30-496a-ae30-07bdff371b50" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-08-25%20at%2010.52.35%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=P6DAgOfaQzIXljKKK5j3e5NhWtrHIu9G" />

Bathrooms will feature Nara Japanese ceramics and glass bricks, while clay, walnut and brass lighting will be used throughout the apartments.

Dalcott has appointed Realm Projects, led by Managing Director Shane Foley, to handle sales and marketing following previous sold-out collaborations between the groups.

Foley said the Brisbane apartment buyer had become increasingly focused on the quality of the home itself rather than simply securing an inner-city address.

“We expect to see strong demand from buyers who still want all the advantages of inner-city living but aren’t prepared to compromise on the quality of their home,” Foley said.

“Many will be downsizers looking to leave behind the maintenance of a traditional family home without giving up the space they enjoy, while others are likely to be professionals wanting a residence that reflects the way they live today.”

“Marrone responds directly to that demand, with generous floorplans, exceptional resident amenity and a location that places some of Brisbane’s best dining, entertainment and cultural attractions within walking distance.”

<img alt="Marrone" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="61f7b22f-899e-4c0f-940a-7d3ab1bfb93a" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-08-25%20at%2010.52.44%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=PvN1JYxBgUpyCB7efKo52WGdSDs9nmim" />

Marrone will be the first project delivered as part of Dalcott's broader investment in the precinct.

It will be followed by La Terra, a boutique project comprising penthouse-style, single-level apartments on a northeast corner site with extensive resident amenity and city views.

Cottee said Marrone represented the first stage of the group's longer-term plans for the area.

Dalcott was established in 2025 by Lachlan Cottee and Ben Dalgliesh, combining development and construction capability under an integrated model and focusing on architecturally considered residential projects.

Marrone will initially be offered through a pre-release registration campaign ahead of its broader public launch.

Dalcott targets owner-occupiers with South Brisbane debut Marrone

Parnell Developments is the latest to seek significant uplift through the NSW Government's Housing Delivery Authority on a Strathfield site previously approved for a much smaller apartment development.

Parnell has sought approval for a 32-storey mixed use tower across&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/7-lyons-street-strathfield-nsw-2135">3-7 Lyons Street and 18 Parnell Street</a>, a&nbsp;1,857 sqm site around 400 metres from Strathfield Station. The building would yield 160 apartments, 15 per cent of which will be dedicated affordable as per the government mandate for buildings seeking additional uplift.

Approved previously was a nine-storey building back in 2022 with just over 30 apartments. That approval came prior to the project being&nbsp;progressively reconsidered as planning policy shifted toward greater density around transport hubs.

<img alt="Strathfield" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="c5af5281-a643-4eb2-b8c4-0081b59c04c7" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-08-25%20at%209.16.48%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=37bd3mI7rHNpThOV_75VO8xsGFwWOi1u" />

Turner has designed the latest building that would replace&nbsp;existing detached homes across the four lots.

The apartment mix comprises 22 one-bedroom apartments, 107 two-bedroom and two-bedroom-plus configurations, and 31 apartments with three or more bedrooms. The scheme also includes 203 car spaces across six basement levels and 58 bicycle spaces.

The proposal has been designed around a three-storey podium addressing Lyons Street, with the tower rising above and stepping toward its upper levels.

Turner said the podium was deliberately scaled to respond to the existing street, while the taller element has been designed as part of the emerging skyline anticipated around Strathfield Town Centre and the wider Homebush transport-oriented development precinct.

The Lyons Street frontage would have a more active, pedestrian-focused character, incorporating the commercial tenancy, landscaping and a brick-framed podium with an awning.

<img alt="Strathfield" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="14b20874-b8c3-4ac7-bc03-92be9a69fb78" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-08-25%20at%209.17.48%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=av.9TxtqIRTC6v3PkSuu1rL9rreWoe2h" />

Parnell Street, which faces the railway corridor, has been given a different architectural treatment, with double-height breeze blocks, landscaping and communal areas used to soften the interface with the rail infrastructure.

The tower itself uses curved and recessed facade elements, with wave-like indentations across the northern elevation breaking the building into three vertical forms.

A palette of grey concrete, brick and breeze blocks is complemented by clay and terracotta accents, while the upper tower adopts a lighter expression through articulated slab edges, vertical fins and recessed glazing.

Residents would have access to 467 sqm of communal open space spread across three levels. The ground floor would accommodate the more active resident areas, including barbecue and group gathering spaces and an internal communal room capable of being used for working from home.

A more passive viewing deck is proposed at level three, overlooking the ground-level landscaping and neighbouring tennis courts, while a rooftop "sunset deck" at level 30 would provide another social and relaxation space.

<img alt="Parnell" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="c3dce401-a80f-4682-8471-4caa01180880" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-08-25%20at%209.17.34%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=Xyo8JVqbOhSJXNy6Ih.1cHL.O6i0bGR." />

&nbsp;

&nbsp;

&nbsp;

Strathfield has been earmarked for substantial change through the Strathfield Town Centre planning work and the nearby Homebush TOD precinct.

Turner's report says the project has been designed to act as a transition between the existing low and mid-rise development surrounding the site and the taller built form expected to emerge across the town centre.

The proposal is being assessed as State Significant Development under the HDA pathway, alongside the concurrent request to amend the Burwood Local Environmental Plan.

First look: New apartment tower pitched for Strathfield Town Centre precinct

An $18 million penthouse has hit the market in Main Beach as construction tops out on La Mer, the $155 million apartment development rising just metres from the beach.

Spanning around 600 sqm across the top two levels of the 29-storey tower on Main Beach Parade, the four-bedroom penthouse is one of the latest eight-figure residences to test the upper end of the Gold Coast apartment market.

Its launch comes amid continued activity at the very top of the market, following the $30 million off-the-plan sale of a Burleigh Heads penthouse earlier this year, which surpassed the Gold Coast's previous $24 million apartment record set in 2023.

The <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/la-mer-main-beach-3580-main-beach-parade-main-beach-qld-4217">La Mer penthouse</a> has been designed as a private residence in the sky, with 360-degree views spanning the ocean, Broadwater, hinterland and Gold Coast skyline.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=95606 project_image_fid=378731]

All four bedrooms have ensuites, while the ocean-facing master retreat occupies around half of the upper level and includes its own lounge, private balcony, two walk-in wardrobes and an oversized ensuite with a freestanding stone bath positioned to take in the views.

The residence also features a kitchen designed to accommodate a private chef, a 3.6-metre island bench, expansive butler's pantry, wine cellar and integrated bar.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=95606 project_image_fid=378732]

A rooftop pool and substantial outdoor entertaining area with its own kitchen sit above the residence, while a grand staircase connects the two internal levels. The penthouse also has its own express lift.

OTP Group Director James Elliott, who is marketing La Mer, said the penthouse was expected to appeal to high-net-worth buyers seeking either a permanent Main Beach residence or Gold Coast holiday home.

“The La Mer penthouse represents exceptional value, considering its quality design, size, privacy and location, not to mention the 360-degree views capturing the beach and Gold Coast Broadwater,” Elliott said.

“We’re anticipating interest from high-net-worth individuals and couples seeking a residence or holiday home in the sought-after village enclave of Main Beach, taking advantage of the unprecedented growth underway in the area and neighbouring The Spit.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=95606 project_image_fid=378736]

La Mer is being developed by developer-builder ODUS and Nazero, in partnership with funder Metrics Credit Partners.

ODUS Director Byron Sakha said topping out the tower had provided the opportunity to release the project's most significant residence.

“We’ve worked with internationally-recognised studio Sici Design on the penthouse interiors, with a focus on ensuring it isn’t luxury for luxury’s sake. Every element has been thoughtfully designed to enhance quality of life for those who call it home,” Sakha said.

“The views are the hero of virtually every space, but we’ve given equal attention to the fittings and finishes, so every detail exudes elegance and refinement.”

Sici Design Founder and Director Maria Papadopoulos said the extensive views became an integral part of the interior design rather than simply something the residence was designed around.

“The views weren't something we designed around, they became part of the design itself, with the true luxury of La Mer in its feeling of peace, calm and wellbeing,” Papadopoulos said.

“Luxury isn't defined by how something looks, but how it makes you feel, and we believe a luxurious home should be beautiful to live in, not stressful to maintain.”

The interiors combine Austral Dream Dolomite natural stone and travertine with timber flooring and a restrained coastal palette.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=95606 project_image_fid=378734]

Designed by Plus Studio, La Mer is one of the more boutique additions to the rapidly changing Main Beach apartment market.

The tower comprises just 24 full-floor, three-bedroom plus multipurpose room apartments below the two-level penthouse, giving the project a considerably lower density than many of the larger towers being developed across the Gold Coast.

Residents will have access to a pool and spa, gym, sauna, barbecue facilities, private sun lounges, yoga lawn and outdoor beach shower.

The penthouse has been released as part of the final collection of residences at La Mer, with remaining apartments priced from $4.3 million.

Construction is expected to complete later this year, with a fully furnished display apartment now open on level four.

ODUS releases $18 million penthouse crowning La Mer Main Beach

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/far-east-consortium">Far East Consortium</a> is preparing to commence construction on <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/640-bourke-street-melbourne-640-bourke-street-melbourne-vic-3000">640 Bourke Street</a> this October, marking the next milestone for the Melbourne CBD development and its higher-end Eliza Collection.

Spanning levels 44 to 68 of the 68-storey <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/rothelowman">Rothelowman</a>-designed tower, the Eliza Collection has been conceived as a lower-density offering within the broader development, with only five apartments on each floor, dedicated lift access and a collection of resident spaces reserved exclusively for Eliza Collection residents.

The Eliza Collection forms part of Far East Consortium's broader move toward larger-format residences at 640 Bourke Street, where the number of apartments was reduced from earlier plans as apartment sizes increased.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=509 project_image_fid=365685]

"What it's meant for 640 Bourke is we've actually reduced the number of apartments. We've increased the overall size of the apartments. We don't have any studios in here, and what that does for a project is it elevates it," Far East Consortium Director of Sales and Marketing Lauren Sheldon said.

Rothelowman Associate Jun Chang said the design process provided an opportunity to create more generous floorplans.

"We were given the opportunity to be more generous. The apartments became bigger and squarer than any other apartments which had been designed in the CBD before that."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=509 project_image_fid=368869]

That thinking carries through to the Eliza Collection, where the residences have been designed around the space and functionality associated with a larger home, but positioned high above the centre of Melbourne.

Kitchens are equipped with Gaggenau appliances, a butler's pantry, temperature-controlled wine cabinet and sculptural pendant lighting, while engineered timber flooring, stone and porcelain finishes and custom cabinetry feature throughout the broader interiors.

Privacy and security are another point of distinction. Eliza Collection residents have dedicated lift access, while 640 Bourke Street will provide concierge services and secure resident parking. Short-stay accommodation, including Airbnb, will not be permitted within the development.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=509 project_image_fid=365689]

Eliza Collection residents will also have exclusive access to selected amenity spaces across levels one and three of the restored Eliza Tinsley building. These include the Salon with grand piano, an art therapy room, private dining rooms and treatment rooms.

They sit within more than 3,000 sqm of amenity planned across 640 Bourke Street, alongside facilities including a pool, gym, whisky lounge and further social and wellness spaces.

The Eliza Tinsley building itself is central to the wider project's identity. Rather than treating the existing Eliza Tinsley façade as a separate element, Rothelowman used it as a starting point for the architecture of the new tower, with the historic building to accommodate the project's gallery and lobby.

"It's a significant asset and wants to be celebrated and experienced by all residents every single time they go in and out of the building," Rothelowman Principal Stuart Marsland said.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=509 project_image_fid=368872]

The tower will rise behind the retained heritage building at 640 Bourke Street, placing residents within walking distance of Southern Cross Station, Flagstaff Gardens, Queen Victoria Market and the Docklands waterfront.

With construction scheduled to begin in October, Far East Consortium has established an onsite display gallery at 640 Bourke Street, including fully built apartments that allow the project's layouts, materials and finishes to be inspected at full scale.

A fully built Eliza Collection apartment is also available to view at the display suite by appointment ahead of the planned October construction commencement.

Eligible purchasers who buy before construction commences can secure the full available off-the-plan stamp duty savings, subject to eligibility and applicable conditions.

Surfers Paradise

A Broadbeach Waters resident has amalgamated three apartments in Florian, the popular Surfers Paradise riverfront apartment development by Pacifico Investments.

Peter Kerr, who runs PLK DESIGN, has worked with Pacifico and architect Mode to create what will be a 450 sqm, full-floor penthouse with four bedrooms and four bathrooms.

Kerr's PLK DESIGN recently won the Yacht Interior design award for Best Salon at the International Design Et Al Yachting and Aviation awards, presented in June 2023 at the Cipriani in Venice, so the designer knew what to look for when searching for an apartment.&nbsp;

"As the director of my local interior design studio PLK DESIGN, I am looking forward to fully customising the apartment to exactly what I want," Kerr said.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=7349 project_image_fid=207397]

Kerr said he decided on Florian&nbsp;due to the smaller number of apartments within the building, just 45, compared to a lot of other developments on the market.&nbsp;

"After looking at the quality of other projects the developer and builder have completed, I knew it was the place for me."

The location was a key element for Kerr. The site shares two boundaries with Cascade Gardens and Little Tallebudgera Creek, meaning view lines will never be built out,&nbsp;which is a rarity.&nbsp;

"Its close enough to walk to the beach, but much less busy than the tourist focused area closer to the beach. The pool, gym and barbecue amenities on the rooftop are an added bonus."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=7349 project_image_fid=207395]

Having moved from Melbourne a few years ago, Florian will be Kerr's home base when he's in the Gold Coast. It's also only a short move from where he currently resides on Monaco Street in Broadbeach Waters, meaning he's not giving up his favourite cafe, Coffee Sisters, which he can easily walk to from Florian, or the 40-acre Albert Park lake were he walks his dog.&nbsp;

It's Kerr's first time purchasing off the plan, but he noted the ease of the process.&nbsp;

"I’m downsizing from a large parcel of land, so I’m looking forward to more of a maintenance free lifestyle," he said.&nbsp;

"After spending two of years building my previous house, the ease of purchasing off the plan was too hard to pass up."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=7349 project_image_fid=207399]

The striking modern tower sets itself apart by offering a coveted riverside-facing lifestyle.&nbsp;

Drawing inspiration from the French Riviera, with interiors designed by Coco Republic, the apartments are flooded with natural light, through expansive full-height glass windows and high ceilings, while generously-sized balconies offer&nbsp;panoramic vistas of the river, parkland, and hinterland.

Crowning the 17-storey tower will be a rooftop pool, spa and sauna, offering the perfect setting to enjoy the sub-tropical climate the Gold Coast is renowned for.&nbsp;

Pacifico are soon to start construction on the Monaco Street site, with completion slated for 2025. Pacifico recently responded to buyer demand and tweak some configurations, offering more two-bedroom apartments with multi-purpose rooms.

Buyer creates full floor penthouse at Florian, Surfers Paradise

The Gold Coast property market continues to prove strong with Sydney-based developer Sammut Group, in partnership with Alceon, achieving $22.25 million in sales for the six-star project in less than a month.&nbsp;

The group recently secured the sale of a full-floor apartment on Level 34 of their beachfront COAST tower in Surfers Paradise for $11.52 million, following on from a $10.75 million sale in February.

The second full-floor apartment was sold to a Brisbane-based buyer who plans to move permanently to the Gold Coast.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=101672 project_image_fid=185690]

Located at 43 Garfield Terrace on the Gold Coast, Sammut Group’s $200 million 37-level project will include 53 luxury residences set in an unrivalled position complete with never-to-be-built-out views.

Sammut Group CEO Allen Sammut said with only a handful of apartments remaining, buyers are recognising the rare opportunity to secure a spot in the highly sought-after luxury development.

“We are thrilled to see such strong interest in COAST and we believe this is a testament to the outstanding quality of the development and Sammut Group’s unwavering commitment to creating an exceptional world-class living experience," Sammut said.

Alceon QLD Executive Director Todd Pepper said the result is fantastic for the team and is a clear indication that COAST is thriving and meeting the demands of discerning buyers.

COAST Lead Agent and CEO of Highland David Highland said the sales also demonstrate an enduring confidence in the Gold Coast property market.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=101672 project_image_fid=207673]

"We are thrilled with the level of interest and sales that we have experienced over the last month. In the face of a lot of challenges in the industry, buyers are really moving opportunistically to own an apartment in this exceptional piece of real estate,” Highland said.&nbsp;

"The fact that we have been able to achieve two significant sales in less than 30 days is a testament to the quality of the development and the strength of the luxury property market on the Gold Coast. It's certainly a welcomed outcome and a positive sign for the industry as a whole."’

Designed by PBD Architects, the project set records soon after its 2021 launch, achieving an average apartment price over $6 million, with a mix of local, domestic and international purchasers.&nbsp; The buyer profile includes a mix of local, domestic and international purchasers.

Sammut Group COO Julian Sammut said since launching to market, the group has remained confident in the appeal of the development.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=101672 project_image_fid=207678]

"These recent sales in quick succession are a clear indication that buyers are still keen to secure an opportunity that is truly unique,” Sammut said.&nbsp;

Construction giant Multiplex are well into construction of the project which is slated for completion by early 2025.

Scarcely does a boutique apartment development come along in Surfers Paradise, where it's much more common to be high in the sky.

But the latest development plans lodged for 30 Sunset Boulevarde, on the western side of Ferny Ave and near the Nerang River, will offer buyers an opportunity for a lower density product&nbsp;

The eight-level apartment block, which will take in views of the water, the HOTA precinct, and Surfers Paradise skyline, will have six high-end apartments designed by architecture firm BDA.

<img alt="Sunset Boulevarde" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="ab9ed6a9-e521-4a85-b5ef-54b42bdb0916" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202023-02-22%20at%203.36.07%20pm.png?VersionId=cl4cJLALpDZW9QN9iHoN0Xlpn9tWOGkE" />

"The architecture of the proposed development is expressive and dynamic, with gently curved upstands and a textured and timeless material palette of white and grey concrete, timber screening and stone cladding," BDA said in their design statement for the project.&nbsp;

The 615 sqm site is located in a high-density development zone which means the architects had the freedom to create a building that maximises on the use of available space.&nbsp;

The whole floor units are designed to cater to families, each with four bedrooms. They focus on natural ventilation and natural light, with each set to include large feature balconies that can be used as an outdoor living rooms, offering views of the Nerang River.

A penthouse apartment crowns the building, spanning across two levels, with nearly 400 sqm of internal space and nearly 150 sqm of outdoor space which includes a private pool and alfresco dining space.&nbsp;The penthouse will also have five bathrooms, a multi-purpose room, an office, and two car spaces.&nbsp;

Residents will also benefit from a ground floor outdoor terrace space, with a pool, dining space, pool and sun lounges. A gym and sauna will also be incorporated within the space.&nbsp;

"The tower form rises out of a podium, showcasing elegant ribbons of fluted concrete, topped with glass balustrades and a cascading landscape," BDA noted.

"The use of fluted concrete and glass gives the building a unique identity, while the cascading landscape provides an element of natural beauty that enhances the street and river-facing facades.

"The textured ribbons continue as they turn the corner, tucking into the vertical blade walls that front neighbouring properties, creating a sense of continuity and symmetry, blending seamlessly with the surrounding environment."

The last apartment development approved on Sunset Boulevarde was in 2021 when a four-pack was approved. There was another in 2020.

The eight-level apartment block, which will take in views of the water, the HOTA precinct, and Surfers Paradise skyline, will have six high-end apartments designed by architecture firm BDA.

First look: Boutique apartments planned for Surfers Paradise

A full-floor apartment in the COAST building on Surfers Paradise's Garfield Terrace, has sold to an international buyer for $10.75 million.

The luxury 37-storey building, developed by Sydney-based Sammut Group and Alceon Group, offers just 53 full-floor apartments.

Multiplex, the construction giants behind the project, has made significant progress towards the early 2025 completion deadline. With just eight more apartments available for sale, this Gold Coast landmark is attracting buyers from a range of pockets, with those seeking the ultimate in oceanfront living.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=101672 project_image_fid=185690]

Sammut Group CEO Allen Sammut said&nbsp;the award-winning company, which has a billion-dollar pipeline, had set out to redefine luxury living with COAST.

"The sale is an exceptional result so early in the new year. It’s an incredible demonstration of COAST’s unique six-star luxury offering in an unrivalled beachfront position and the trust our buyers have in the Sammut Group brand, with Multiplex contracted to deliver ‘COAST’ confidence amongst astute buyers is assured,” Sammut said.&nbsp;

“Not only does it offer world-class design, but COAST’s owners are also able to enjoy a unique living experience with an emphasis on providing the very best resort-style amenities in a very intimate, boutique environment."

Highland agent David Highland said the latest sale at COAST proved a sustained excitement and confidence in Sammut Group’s vision, while also proving to be of extraordinary value.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=101672 project_image_fid=207673]

“This is an outstanding result that is extremely encouraging for the Gold Coast market in general. Buyers continue to respond to this rare combination of location, views and quality design. To see it coming out of the ground adds further confidence,” Highland said.

“This has been a very astute purchase by a very seasoned, knowledgeable property buyer who recognises the unique value of an apartment of this kind, in this location, within such an intimate setting."

Alceon QLD Executive Director Todd Pepper said COAST is proving to meet the demand for a unique boutique luxury residential experience.

Designed by PBD Architects, the project set records soon after its 2021 launch, achieving an average apartment price over $6 million. The buyer profile includes a mix of local, domestic and international purchasers.

Sammut Group COO Julian Sammut said they were&nbsp;delighted that Sammut's commitment to quality has already captured the attention of buyers from around the globe.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=101672 project_image_fid=207676]

"COAST is transforming the luxury apartment market and proving that world-class living can be achieved right here on our own doorstep."

Local Agent Tolemy Stevens said if COAST was completed today and buyers could come in and touch, feel and see what is coming to the market we would sell out immediately.

"The development is going to blow everything away in terms of luxury,” Stevens said.&nbsp;

"COAST has the biggest site but the smallest volume of apartments being built, creating an intimate place that encourages connection this really resonates with clients as they don’t want to live in an overcrowded space. They want private, quiet, exclusive and they want something special.”

Sammut Group achieve $10.75M sale in Garfield Terrace apartment development, COAST

The two-level penthouse crowning developer Weiya Holdings' beachfront Northcliffe, Surfers Paradise tower AALTO, is set to be one of the most impressive penthouses on the sought-after Garfield Terrace when completed in 2025.

Priced at $15.8 million, the penthouse, sprawled across levels 35 and 36 of the Conrad Gargett-designed tower, will offer a massive 848 sqm, a price per sqm of under $19,000.

Weiya Holdings Sales and Marketing Director Patrick Pancur says the penthouse will have a number of elements which are unrepeatable on the beach.

"While there's a lot of competition on Garfield Terrace for high-end beachfront stock, AALTO sets itself apart by having one of the best sites on the strip," Pancur says.

"AALTO has 24 metres of beachfront, which the penthouse takes full advantage of with double-storey walls of glass.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108209 project_image_fid=209922]

"What the penthouse buyer at AALTO also gets is unobstructed views to the south, all the way to Rainbow Bay, that can't be built out because of the protected site across the road, home to the recently extensively renovated&nbsp;Northcliffe Surf Club."

Entry to the apartment is through a private lift lobby, reminiscent of a private top floor suite in a luxury hotel.

Internally the first level of the apartment has 265 sqm of living space, and is primarily dedicated to entertaining spaces.&nbsp;

East of the lift is the main open plan kitchen, living and dining area. In this space there are formal and casual living zones, a striking marble kitchen with butlers pantry, and an accompanying dining area.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108209 project_image_fid=209925]

It is flanked by double-storey walls of glass that offer gun-barrel views across the ocean. The 232 sqm of external living space is all on this level as well.

Fronting the ocean is an enclosable balcony with more seating, while in the northern part of the penthouse features a private&nbsp;swimming pool with in-pool day beds, and a spa. Beside the pool is a full outdoor kitchen, dining area, and built-in seating zone. A sauna completes the wellness space.

Also on level one of the apartment is one of the five bedrooms, three bathrooms and powder rooms, and a gym.&nbsp;

The second level of the apartment, with a further 351 sqm of living area, is accessed either via private lift, or the striking feature spiral staircase in the formal living zone.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108209 project_image_fid=209928]

A further four bedrooms are located upstairs, including the master, orientated to the east of the apartment to get the unobstructed views. The master features its own sitting room, walk in wardrobe and dressing room, palatial ensuite with dual everything and a statement tub.

Completing the penthouse is a cinema room, another living space, and a home office.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108209 project_image_fid=209929]

"There have been a number of prospective buyers wanting more information on the penthouse, and have ended up securing some of the whole floor apartments half-way up the building," Pancur added.

Recently there's been buyers from China and Melbourne.

Weiya are expecting to announce a building partner soon.

Following development approval in September, Malaysian property developer MRCB International has launched it's debut Queensland apartment project, 26 Vista.

Named after it's prime location at 26 Vista Street, just one street back from the sought-after Northcliffe Beach, 26 Vista will rise 51 levels and home 280 apartments starting from $600,000. There will also be six three-storey townhouses that front Northcliffe Light Rail Station.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112730 project_image_fid=208885]

There was a conscious effort by local architecture firm DBI Design to focus on sustainability initiatives which are often seen more frequently in Australia's major capital cities and rarely in the Gold Coast apartment market.

Residents will be encouraged to transition to electric powered vehicles with an array of EV charging ports that will future-proof the development, while a proposed EV car share service is said to be the first on-site service of this kind on the Gold Coast.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112730 project_image_fid=208886]

Other sustainable initiatives include all residences featuring ultra efficient and luxurious V-Zug appliances, as well as apartments designed to benefit from natural heating and cooling so as to reduce air-conditioning usage.

Managing Director at DBI Architects Raith Anderson said 26 Vista is a building that combines subtropical principles, while offering the opportunity to consolidate a rapidly evolving and vibrant part of the City.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112730 project_image_fid=208887]

“The design philosophy revolves around the dichotomy of the site, located at the junction between the curvilinear punctuated nature of the river and the linearity of the coastal strip," Anderson said.

"The cosmopolitan design of the tower reflects this duality - pairing the timeless language of glass and clean lines on the ocean side with the use of forms, masses and textures addressing the river."

The tower covers just 30 percent of the 3,100 sqm site, and is orientated to the east to take advantage of its proximity to the ocean and access to sunlight and ocean breezes, while maximising views towards the river and the hinterland.

26 Vista is offering extensive amenities to residents including an internal wellbeing precinct featuring a spa, gym, outdoor yoga space, pool, sauna and steam room and a residents lounge.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112730 project_image_fid=208898]

A secondary residents lounge will be located beside the level 51 observation deck, surrounded by a rooftop garden.

“The recreational level allows for the transition from podium to tower creating a deep eave, visually reinforcing the subtropical approach to the building,” Anderson added.

MRCB International CEO Ravi Krishnan said the group is thrilled to be making a mark on Australia’s fastest growing city.

“We noticed the growth in interstate migration to the Gold Coast from the southern states, and the high demand within the region," Krishnan said.

"This, coupled with the forecasted lack of dwelling supply, drove our decision to invest in Surfers Paradise. The fact that the site that we purchased was in an enviable location influenced the decision.

“Inevitably, the Gold Coast will continue to grow as a region. The trend for footloose industries to locate themselves in areas with beautiful weather, tourism opportunities, and solid employment, have meant we couldn’t afford to miss this opportunity to invest in the Gold Coast."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112730 project_image_fid=208888]

Recent council population data forecasts that by 2041, the Surfers Paradise population will have nearly doubled and it is estimated that of that, close to 85,900&nbsp; people will live in high-rise towers.

Construction is scheduled to commence on 26 Vista in the third quarter of 2023, with the project scheduled for completion in 2026.

One-bedroom apartments are starting from $600,000, two-bedroom units start from $875,000, and the three-bed units from $1.8m.

Multi-billion-dollar developer GURNER™ has signed a landmark deal with Marriott International, that will see Australia’s very first St. Regis hotel open its doors within the first tower of Gurner’s $1.7 billion joint venture with investment house, Wingate, La Pelago.

The La Pelago project is set to deliver a premier lifestyle resort and destination within the prestigious Budds Beach precinct. La Pelago will feature 12,000 sqm of exceptional lifestyle amenities including luxury residential residences, The St. Regis Gold Coast Resort, and over 5,500 sqm of international hospitality and retail, encompassed in a lush and private landscaped setting.

The iconic St. Regis brand was selected by GURNER™ following an exhaustive expression of interest campaign that vetted some of the most well-known luxury hotel brands in the world. Once negotiations began with Marriott International, it took just 27 days for the two companies to reach an agreement.&nbsp;

<img alt="Render of the arrival at the luxury hotel St. Regis in La Pelago" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="5d284a89-e0b2-48c6-bbee-d8b9eb92be6b" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/EA01%20-%20Hero%20Arrival.jpg?VersionId=n_GZGbT0KcFurnFZH6v3rtX5_G07A8LT" />Render of the arrival at the luxury hotel St. Regis in La Pelago

The St. Regis Gold Coast Resort is a major coup for the top end of the Gold Coast tourism market, which is now booming again after the lockdowns of 2020-2021. The St. Regis Gold Coast Resort will be “unlike anything on offer in Australia’s hotel market currently,” according to Gurner Group CEO Tim Gurner, and offer a “level of bespoke luxury that is not available on the Gold Coast now nor planned into the future”.

“We knew we had to have a hotel brand at La Pelago that would transform the Gold Coast and elevate it – and Australia’s 5-star hotel offering – to another level,” Gurner said.&nbsp;

“We are so incredibly excited and humbled to be able to announce the deal with Marriott International and secure the St. Regis brand for this landmark development - it’s a brand that has stood the test of time for elegance, bespoke service and exquisite experiences.”

St. Regis is Marriott International’s leading luxury hotel brand with over 56 hotels and resorts around the world, making it one of the most exclusive hotel offerings for guests. Vice President Hotel Development, Australia, New Zealand, and Pacific for Marriott International, Richard Crawford said The St Regis brand has defined luxury hotels since the opening of the very first St Regis hotel in New York in 1904, and has since selected partners who can bring to life the rich tradition, heritage and legacy of the brand.&nbsp;

“Gurner’s well-earned reputation for excellence, and their vision for the Gold Coast, aligns exceptionally well with the very high standards we set for every St. Regis hotel around the world,” Crawford said.&nbsp;

“We look forward to bringing to life an iteration of the brand that is modern, aspirational, and befits the lifestyle and energy of the Gold Coast.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108339 project_image_fid=206590]

The circa 185 luxurious guest rooms at The St. Regis Gold Coast Resort have called for design plans with all the rooms and hotel amenities, including the bar and restaurant, to sit well above any of the other towers in the project, and 50 per cent taller than any other surrounding tower, providing unencumbered views across the skyline.&nbsp;

“We completely reconfigured the hotel offering for The St. Regis Gold Coast Resort after we secured the brand, so that the lowest hotel room still sits above any surrounding towers, enabling uninterrupted views of the beach, river and mountain ranges, going all the way up to level 43,” said Gurner.&nbsp;

The design narrative at The St. Regis Gold Coast Resort will celebrate the brand’s timeless legacy and rich heritage. Guests can look forward to entering via the porte cochère and experiencing the hotel’s signature spaces, which include a speciality restaurant, world-class sky bar, pool bar, luxurious lounge, as well as the signature St. Regis Bar.&nbsp;

“The arrival experience, amenity, service offering and rooms will be without equal in Australia, and will put the Gold Coast back on the map as an ultra-luxury destination."

Upon arrival, guests will be whisked away up to the second and main hotel lobby located on level 42, transporting hotel guests high into the sky where they will be greeted by an expansive bar and internationally acclaimed restaurant and function area.&nbsp;

“Above the hotel we have around 100 residences within the Crystal Club that will have their own private entrance and exclusive access to hotel-style services and amenity, to offer those buyers something truly irreplaceable that offers a new level of luxury atop the best hotel in the country,” Gurner added.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108339 project_image_fid=206589]

“The Crystal Club will be the next evolution of what we created at Saint Moritz and then taken to another level again with more amenity that just adds a whole new level of glamour and sophistication.”

The world-famous hotel holds a special place in the luxury developer’s heart – the St. Regis New York has been Tim’s favourite hotel in the world since he and his wife Aimee stayed there on their very first holiday together, returning nearly every year.

“For me it was only ever St. Regis. La Pelago is something that will never be re-created again in Australia and St. Regis has always been my favourite hotel brand, so I just had to have them to complete the circle of ultra-luxury at the project," he said.

The St. Regis Gold Coast Resort expects to mark the third Marriott International property on the Gold Coast when it opens, adding to the company’s existing Queensland portfolio – JW Marriott Gold Coast Resort and Spa, Sheraton Grand Mirage Resort Gold Coast, W Brisbane, Brisbane Marriott Hotel, Four Points by Sheraton Brisbane, The Westin Brisbane and Courtyard by Marriott South Bank Brisbane. Marriott International currently operates 39 hotels across Australia, New Zealand, and the Pacific, with 26 hotels in Australia.

“The precinct of La Pelago is a world to its own with incredible hospitality, wellness, a business centre, ballroom and event spaces, alongside over 10,000 sqm of amenity for residents, then to top it all off will be Australia’s number one hotel."

“To have the hotel at such an elevated level in the sky with uninterrupted views gives St. Regis a huge point of difference in the market,” he concluded.&nbsp;

GURNER™ secures Australia’s first luxury St. Regis Hotel for its $1.7 billion Gold Coast La Pelago project 

The delivery of six-star luxury development, COAST, on the Gold Coast is officially underway following a ground-breaking ceremony with construction giant Multiplex.

The $200 million, 37-level project by Sydney-based developer Sammut Group in partnership with Alceon Group comprises an unrivalled collection of 53 residences that are set to redefine luxury living.&nbsp;

With the previous apartment building at 43 Garfield Terrace now demolished, Multiplex will be on site immediately with COAST slated for completion in early 2025.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=101672 project_image_fid=207673]

Sammut Group Chief Operating Officer, Julian Sammut said the construction start is a testament to the strength of the iconic project, which has continued to persevere despite the recent raft of issues confronting the construction industry that has seen many other Gold Coast projects slow or stall.&nbsp;

“This is a great moment for the project, the many buyers who have been quick to be part of this opportunity, and for the Gold Coast. We have secured a fantastic partnership with Multiplex, who have an exceptional record of premier projects, which is what we demand for COAST,” he said.&nbsp;

Multiplex has been responsible for the delivery of several of South-East Queensland’s most high-profile developments, including Destination Gold Coast Tower 2 at Star Residences, Queens Wharf Brisbane, Jewel Gold Coast, and the W Hotel Brisbane, with Regional Director, Glenn Robinson saying his team was excited to partner with Sammut to deliver such an iconic project.&nbsp;

“This is a higher end product than anything else we’ve delivered on the Gold Coast with its beautiful architecture, joinery and stonework. It will really challenge anything else available on the coast in terms of quality,” said Robinson.&nbsp;

With all but a handful of apartments left, the project broke records at launch achieving an average per apartment price of $5.25 million.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=101672 project_image_fid=207676]

Highland Property Chief Executive Officer David Highland says COAST drew significant interest from launch, with buyers so keen to secure an apartment, they paid upfront holding deposits of $50,000, sight unseen.

The project has drawn local downsizers wanting a lifestyle up-size, along with buyers from Toorak, New Zealand, and Sydney’s Eastern Suburbs, Northern Beaches and Sutherland Shire wanting a second home.

“The strength of the Sammut Group brand, and the implicit quality that comes with that has been a major selling point, in addition to the extraordinary absolute beachfront location. At a time where many other projects are facing some major challenges, COAST is forging ahead because of Sammut Group’s determination to deliver and the great partner they’ve found in Multiplex,” Highland said.

58 PBD-designed residences will be delivered in COAST upon completion, including 38 290 sqm half-floor villas, two 466 sqm double-storey sky homes, 11 580 sqm full-floor sub penthouses and one 1,130 sqm penthouse, set across two levels and complete with a private rooftop pool and amenities.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=101672 project_image_fid=207678]

For the residents not basking in the private penthouse pool, COAST also includes a 32-metre pool, which wraps from the east to the north, as well as a yoga studio, massage rooms, a sauna, function facilities, a beach bar, numerous break-out areas and a commercial sized gym.&nbsp;

COAST also includes its own concierge, with premium services included for all residents, from home cleaning, to restaurant bookings and even airport transport and food and beverage delivery.&nbsp;

Sammut Group CEO, Allen Sammut said he is pleased with the progress of the group’s expansion into the Queensland market following an award-winning run of projects in Sydney’s Cronulla, which ironically started with a project called ‘Coast’, followed by Drift, Nautilus, Breeze, Loft and Banc and the recently launched Vue.

“We have built up a very loyal fan base who love and trust the Sammut Group brand and what we stand for and their keen interest in our first Gold Coast development is evidence of that,” said Allen.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project_cta:default project_id=101672]

The project has drawn local downsizers wanting a lifestyle up-size, along with buyers from Toorak, New Zealand, and Sydney’s Eastern Suburbs, Northern Beaches and Sutherland Shire wanting a second home.

Construction kicks off on $200 million beachfront apartments COAST by Sammut Group

Seldom is there a project which occupies both an absolute riverfront and absolute parkfront position.

Cue Florian, the latest project to hit Surfers Paradise.

The project is on the Monaco Street dress circle, more commonly known for its high-end waterfront houses with private jetties.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=7349 project_image_fid=207392]

Developer Pacificio Investments had something else in mind for their 984 sqm site at 42 Monaco Street bordering Cascade Gardens. They'll be developing a 17-level tower with just 45 apartments, which will capture sweeping views over the river, parkland, hinterland and ocean.

There will be a a mix of two and three-bedroom apartments. It was a clever design my Mode Architects, who ensured each apartment occupies a different corner of the building, maximizing views, maximizing natural light, and maximizing breezes from oversized balconies.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=7349 project_image_fid=207397]

“Florian Residences has been meticulously designed to provide residents with a relaxed, luxe living experience with sweeping views and oversized balconies,” Mode say.&nbsp;

“Angled screening draws inspiration from the many boat sails that adorn the nearby riverside, with the architecture ambitious and sculptural.”

Interiors have been curated by powerhouse interior design firm&nbsp;Coco Republic.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=7349 project_image_fid=207398]

A natural palette of textural wool carpet, natural stone, timber floors and brushed brass feature throughout the homes, while open plan layouts and smart storage solutions create versatile and functioning spaces for every type of discerning buyer.&nbsp;

Crowning Florian will be a resort-inspired rooftop terrace, complete with a pool, spa and sauna, all while encompassing expansive views to the surrounds. The development also enjoys a private boardwalk and waterfront recreation space, to fully immerse residents in the riverfront locale.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=7349 project_image_fid=207395]

A few minutes’ walk will take residents to the sands of Broadbeach, or for further access to the wider Gold Coast region, the nearby G-Link tram will provide convenient access for future residents.

Just across the river, waterside shopping and dining is on offer at Capri on Via Roma, which includes a full line Harris Farm Markets as well as an array of restaurants and dining options.&nbsp;

Florian is slated for completion by early 2024, with buyers able to explore the fully immersive display, which includes a full kitchen as well as the chance to view all the apartment floorplans through a state-of-the-art virtual tour.&nbsp;

Absolute riverfront, absolute parkside: Florian, Surfers Paradise apartments launch

Sydney-based property developers Garfield Development's venture into the Gold Coast is well under way, with the start of construction bringing their Surfers Paradise project closer to fruition.

Absolute beachfront tower Aspire will comprise just 37 residences over 24-levels, with residents set to enjoy a host of resort-inspired amenities.&nbsp;

Aspire's ground floor houses some of the amenity offering, where the features include an infinity pool taking in expansive ocean views.&nbsp;The ground floor also boasts a fully equipped gym, as well as a residents lounge, a surfboard and sports storeroom and entertainment areas.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=111652 project_image_fid=197880]

Stepping up to level one in Aspire, a number of communal areas are scattered around. A second gym finds a space in level one, along with a steam room and infrared sauna, a yoga room and an additional owner's lounge, complete with a kitchen and bar.

Aspire also offers residents a range of break-out spaces and modern office areas, including an oversized conference room complete with TV for hosting presentations and virtual meetings.

The landscaping design by Project Landscape offers lush greenery from the covered entry, to the pool area and lawn terrace. Greenery cascades from the first level podium, providing a verdant backdrop to the communal spaces.&nbsp;

Along with the in-house amenities, Aspire sits on the doorstep of one of the world’s most famous stretches of sand and surf – Surfers Paradise Beach.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=111652 project_image_fid=197892]

The location is a major drawcard – Aspire occupies a rare absolute beachfront site in the exclusive Northcliffe pocket of Surfers Paradise and is right on the cusp of Broadbeach.

“Buyers love the fact that this is a residents-only boutique building on absolute beachfront,” says Kollosche New Projects sales agent John Mayer.

“We’re finding that people want smaller buildings with fewer neighbours and the convenience of stepping out of your apartment and onto the sand – that is the ultimate luxury," Mayer said.&nbsp;

An array of boutique cafes, restaurants, and recreational offerings are all accessible within walking distance of Aspire.

Aspire’s pet-friendly features are also attracting the attention of buyers, who appreciate the Juliette balcony that can be lined in artificial grass to accommodate pets. The footpath that runs along the beachside of the building is ideal for morning and afternoon walks.

[smartcode_project_cta:default project_id=111652]
