<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.

Film directors George Miller and his wife Margaret Sixel have emerged as the $4.35 million buyers of Willabrook, the Upper Kangaroo River ­retreat of INXS guitarist Tim Farriss and wife Beth.
Farriss, who ­founded INXS in Sydney in 1977, listed it two years ago after three decades ownership. The property ­initially had an asking price of $4.5m to $4.9m and later had a guide of $4.3m to $4.5m.
The 37ha Upper River ­cattle farm off a country lane features a 1920s five-bedroom homestead, plus two one-bedroom cottages, that were let at $350 a night.
There’s also a self-contained manager’s cottage, vegie garden and a private, clear, deep water swimming hole.
The marketing by Belle Property listing agent Nick Dale suggested the land is reminiscent of a Harry Sutton Palmer landscape painting.
It comes with a private river flat that forms a natural island and is surrounded by the waters of Kangaroo River, complete with billabongs and grassy banks.
The Shoalhaven farm, which has averaged a 30 ­breeder carrying capacity, had been featured on Better Homes &amp; Gardens.
Its sale price ranks as the second highest at Upper Kangaroo River with $7.35m paid in 2018 for a 220ha ­holding.

Now back in Sydney, Chris Pongrass, the chief executive of the Sydney Kings, has put down roots in Bellevue Hill.  
He was appointed CEO at the NBL club just over a year ago having spent six years with the Memphis Grizzlies in the NBA.
He’s paid $2.1m for a newly renova­ted unit. Last traded for $1,363,000 in 2014, the 120sqm, three bedroom, two bathroom unit was sold through Ray White Double Bay agents Warren Ginsberg and Claudia Brunker.
The sale for Alexandra and Dean Joffe, the mortgage broker, was sec­ured in less than two weeks. There have been 15 three-bedder sales so far this year, with prices ranging from $1.4m to $2.7m.
Pongrass, a UTS graduate, started his career as a paralegal at Harry Triguboff’s Meriton Group.

A local family moved deftly to ­secure the Freshwater home of former Manly rugby league coach Trent Barrett for $3.65m, with the deal done just six days after it hit the market.
There had been a $3.2m guide for the northern beaches home bought with his property stylist wife Kylie as he took the reins at the Sea Eagles.
The couple paid $2.41m in 2015 for the five bedroom home after moving from their ­record setting $2.4m Shellharbour home. The Barrett are renting back at Barrack Point.
The incoming Canterbury Bulldogs NRL coach, who will take over at Belmore next year, says their new ­location is a one-hour drive to Belmore. “People are finding they need more space, they want their castle,” Belle agent Matt Brady told The Manly Daily.

Powerhouse litigator Amanda Banton is set to emerge as the mystery purchaser of one of Darlinghurst’s last decrepit Victorian terraces.  

Word is after the uninhabitable five-bedroom Surrey St home sold for $4.6m that Banton engaged William Smart Architects to work on the restoration investment project.

The home attracted 18 registered bidders at its BresicWhitney auction despite needing $2m plus in renovation work. There were three bidders at $4.6m for the 278sqm property with 7.6m frontage.

The hoarder home, offered with rooms cordoned off with danger tape, last tra­ded in 1976 at $43,000.

Darlinghurst had 40 sales over the past year at a $1.9m median, according to ­realestate.com.au.

The Rose Bay-based lawyer has just kicked off her new Martin Place legal firm, Banton Group specialising in insolvency and litigation.

Her partners have made significant recoveries for clients, including $200m plus against Lehman Brothers and $215m against Standard and Poors.

Banton Group recently acted successfully on a pro-bono basis to represent a ­grieving family excluded from the class action in the MH17 appeal.

The incoming Canterbury Bulldogs NRL coach Trent Barrett is preparing for his career renaissance in Sydney’s southwest.
He’s listed the northern beaches home he bought with wife Kylie when he took the reins at the Manly Sea Eagles.
The couple paid $2.41 million in 2015 for the Freshwater home upon upsizing from their ­record setting $2.4 million Shellharbour home.
It was briefly listed in late 2018 following Barrett’s controversial resignation. But now Barrett, who will take over at Belmore next year, is fixed on finding a buyer at its August 29 auction with Barrett and the family now renting back at Barrack Point.
The five bedroom home built in 2004 has bi-fold doors from a number of living areas that open to the outside where there’s a covered alfresco entertaining balcony with an elevated glass edged pool. Belle Property have a $3.2m guide.

Sydney Roosters coach Trent Robinson and wife Sandra Stefan have quietly bought in Bronte.
But they continue to rent nearby, after paying $4m for the early 1900s semi which hadn’t traded for over three decades.
They have lodged $484,000 renovation plans from Randwick-based Chapman Architecture.
It will see the two bedroom home, single storey house on 430 sqm become multi level with five bedrooms, plus a pool and a ­studio above the rear garage.
The couple were previously a few hundred ­metres away in Waverley, where they sold their modern two level, three bedroom home last year for $2.51m.
It had cost $1,815,000 in 2014, a year after Robinson took the top job at the Roosters.
Robinson became the youngest coach in the NRL when he took over at the Roosters in 2013 at age 35.

The commute from Sydney to the Southern Highlands must have ­become too much for chef Brigid Kennedy and her farmer husband Kevin Nott.
The pair, who have used their Rozelle home as their Sydney base for eight years, have listed it for sale with ­expectations of $2.1 million.
The couple own The Loch in Berrima, a working farm that offers boutique accommodation and a restaurant for Sunday dining.
Kennedy is the chef and Nott is a farmer and landscaper who manages Loch Farm Stall, the farm gardens for their paddock-to-plate restaurant, The Tasting Room.
Their Roser St home is a two storey property; the top level is a three-bedroom, three-bathroom place in which they live when they are in Sydney.
The lower level a separate self-contained one-bedroom apartment with a study that is currently leased for $500 a week, an option agent Lynsey Kemp of Belle Property Balmain hopes will set the home apart.
<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/2020/8/10/rozelle%202.jpg" alt="">
“(Brigid and Kevin) have been spending more and more time in Berrima so it’s a situation where they don’t need their Sydney base any more,” Kennedy said.
“It’s a beautiful double-fronted home in a central location but a big feature of it is that it offers the flexibility to keep the lower level leased to provide an income, or convert it into a big family home.”
Kennedy adds this flexible option which allowed them to lease the lower level of their home has been a financial boon over the years.
<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/2020/8/10/rozelle%203.jpg" alt="">
“Having a stylish self-contained apartment is a financial-drought proofer with either a permanent tenant or a more lucrative Airbnb arrangement,” Kennedy said.
“It’s very appealing, especially so close to town.” An August 29 auction is planned.

Gaby Kennard, who became the first Australian woman to fly solo around the world, has sold her longtime Mittagong estate.
There has been an internal family transfer, with son Sam, the managing director of Kennard Storage, and his wife Claire securing the 86ha holding for $5.25 million.
Sam has long owned a neighbouring 13ha which had been sliced off the family estate.
Gabby Kennard spends most of her time at Bangalow, after selling her Woolloomooloo apartment in 2017.
Her epic journey, following ­Amelia Earhart’s route as much as possible, took 99 days in 1989 in a single-engined Piper Saratoga. Neville Kennard, who transformed the family company, and was married to the famous aviatrix, died in 2012.

Celebrity hairdresser Joh Bailey and his champion equestrian partner Michael Christie have quickly found their next Southern Highlands renovation project.
The purchase follows last month’s $3.5 million-plus sale of their 12ha estate at nearby High Range, Wide Acre, which found its next owner in five days through Belle agent Di Dickson.
The duo have spent $1.225 million on a 23ha holding at Canyonleigh which features a ramshackle three-bedroom timber cottage.
They plan to redevelop the estate, including a Ralph Lauren style two-level barn. It is currently an organic orchard, fed by bore water.
<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/2020/8/5/Joh%20Bailey%202.jpg" alt="">
Bailey, who opened a salon in Bowral in 2015, bought Wide Acre for $2.05 million in 2016.
The couple had planned to get married at the property with 200 guests in March, but had to cancel due to the COVID-19 restrictions.

Erawar, the yurt home at Kangaroo Valley, has been sold for $2.41 million, amid a spurt in sales at the popular weekender destination.
Redesigned in 2000 by Ian McKay with jarrah and oregon, the home (pictured above), which sold through Frank Barker at Raine &amp; Horne, is fitted with soffit sprayers for bushfire protection.
The outbuildings on the 10ha holding include a yoga studio. It is credited as the first Iyengar yoga ­studio in the valley conducted by Susan Rowntree-Robertson.
Mount Scanzi Road’s other sales have included the 3ha property of Aniela Kos, the founder of Galeria Aniela, for $1.7 million. Last traded for $109,000 in 1992, it was sold by South Coast Prestige Properties agent Carrie Bond. Guests have included Sir David Attenborough.
<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/2020/7/28/kangaroo%20valley%202.jpg" alt="">
Kangaroo Valley’s latest offering is Sky Ridge (pictured above), the $800 a night black barn tourist accommodation premises designed by Alexander Michael.
Its $2.25 million listing comes after the recent death of Michael’s partner, the acclaimed jeweller Tony White, who maintained an 85 ha retreat at Upper Kangaroo River.
There are whispers that hospitality industry recruiter, Rick Harasty, is set to move to the valley after selling his Bondi Beach penthouse which has a $7 million guide for its August 22 ­auction.
