<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 Parramatta Eels playmaker Mitchell Moses has a bought another investment property.
The 1940s Gladesville home cost $1.8 million.
It comes with four bedrooms, two bathrooms and a studio at the back of the 790 sqm block.
Belle Property Strathfield agents ­Michael Murphy and Norman So secured the sale post auction, to the halfback fresh back from a calf injury.
The home, which sold for $1.16 million in 2012, has been leased out at $900 a week through Rachel Pittorino at The Region Professionals having sought $1000.
<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/gladesville%202.jpg" alt="">
The rent reflects a 2.6 per cent yield.
Houses in Gladesville typically rent out for $735 a week, at an annual rental yield of 2 per cent, according to realestate.com.au. There are currently 115 properties for rent in the suburb.
The suburb has a $1.9 million median house price, and based on the past five years of sales, has seen a compound price growth rate of 4.8 per cent for houses.
It’s a buy back into the area for Moses, who quietly sold in Ryde for $2,099,000 earlier this year. He had paid $1.78 million for the modernised four bedroom, two storey home in 2018.
The 25-year-old Moses retains a property in Epping which cost $1,375,000 in 2015, when he was at Wests Tigers. He played junior football with the Carlingford Cougars and the Holy Cross Rhinos.
<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/gladesville%203.jpg" alt="">
Moses, who was born in Ryde, ­re-signed with the Eels in early 2019 with an extension to remain until 2020.
There is also a $585,000 investment apartment in Toongabbie in his $3.75 million property portfolio.
Last month he established Sandstone Holdings, with older brother, estate agent Stephen, which appears to have the goal of being a family real estate corporation.

Hollywood heart-throb Liam Hemsworth has building plans for his private Byron Bay ­estate. Nothing as grand as his big brother Chris, but the next task is constructing a yoga studio.
Just 58sqm, but the cabana will sit idyllically beside an artificial dam with day beds and a built-in barbecue on its decking.
There will be a wharf that extends over the water, the Harley Graham Architects plan reveals.
It’s set to cost just $138,000 and should take around two months to construct in a small valley on the 35ha Broken Head property that the family company CHLH Management bought last September for $4.25 million.
The company director remains just Chris Hemsworth, but the company names suggest brother Luke holds an interest.
Council approvals were nearly not required, but its floor space and height are slightly above automated permits. There’s no plans for any grand homestead, but the application does suggest the brothers have been busy constructing a horse arena on the former cattle farm.
The Hemsworth family took to Byron in 2014, when Chris and wife Elsa Pataky spent $7 million on Kooeloah, the Balinese-style trophy home they demolished to make way for their modern mansion. 
Their project was estimated to have cost $8.8m.
All up the family have spent $17 million buying property around Byron.
Liam and Gabbriella Brooks, who have been dating for seven months, have been resident at Byron through much of the pandemic.

Members of the Hells Angels joined onlookers and two registered bidders for the auction of the Clarence Gardens property at 2 Albert St.
It had been listed with a price guide of $550,000.
Despite interest from buyers in the lead up to the auction — including developers and individuals looking to retain the home — the property failed to sell under the hammer.
There was a single bid of $500,000.
Selling agent Stuart Costello, from Magain Real Estate, secured its sale shortly after for $535,000.
“Interest for the property has been strong and has come from all over. In fact, one of the bidders here today was looking at doing some micro brewing, which I think would be awesome."
“Other people were looking at it from a warehouse point of view, but most were looking at demolishing and then rebuild and develop that way.”
The commercial zone property, with its heavily fortified front fence, was home to the notorious gang’s Adelaide southern chapter for several years.
The property also includes a gym and a workshop.
The Advertiser wrote while media were banned from entering the property on the day of auction, photos on realestate.com.au show the property has been somewhat “de-bikied” but there were still several nods to its owners remaining.

Co-founder of fashion label Sabo Skirt Thessy Kouzoukas and her husband and gym entrepreneur George Batsinilas have listed their apartment in Brisbane’s south side for sale.
The three-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment at 6/22 Selborne Street, Mount Gravatt East has price hopes of at least $550,000.
Kouzoukas, also known as Thessy K, started fashion label Sabo Skirt with her sister-in-law. 
Last year the couple snapped up a five-bedroom property in Holland Park West which they now plan to tear down and rebuild. The couple bought the home for $1.14 million, records show.
They have been living in another home they own in Brisbane for the past few years, needing more space after the birth of daughter Zani.
Place Estate Agents Kangaroo Point’s Michael Bacon said the apartment was unique for the Mount Gravatt East area.
The apartment itself is around five years old, had been repainted for sale and was the perfect property for first-home buyers, he said.
Kouzoukas and Batsinilas have been called one of the power couples of Brisbane, with Batsinilas the co-owner of an online fitness business and gym at Kangaroo Point known as FitazFk, according to Domain.

Leading jockey Sam Clipperton has listed his Kingsford investment apartment for auction.
N.G. Farah agent Joe Recep has scheduled an ­August 15 auction with an $875,000 price guide.
The 90 sqm Houston Rd apartment, now near the new light rail, was bought in 2015, after which the apartment was refurbished.
The three bedroom, two bathroom apartment comes with three balconies on the first floor of an early 1970s block of 11 units sold off by Effie Holdings’s Michael Callaghan.
<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/kingford%202.jpg" alt="">
The unit became a $700 a week rental while Clipperton was based in Hong Kong, but he’s now happily based in Rose Bay with his partner Morgan. They spent $1.9 million on a three bedroom townhouse last year.
The 26-year-old jockey, whose most recent major win was on Destiny’s Kiss in the Winter Cup, rode Centimental to finish fourth in the controversial first race at Rosehill yesterday.

GWS midfielder Josh Kelly pulled his Coogee house from its auction yesterday.
The two-storey, three-bedroom house (pictured above) was listed due to “a change of circumstances.”
It was bought for $3.45m in April, but estate agent Alexander Phillips, of Phillips Pantzer Donnelley, struggled this month to find enough buyer interest, despite marketing the Division Street home with a reduced $3.2m guide.

Morgan Stanley’s Bryce Thompson and JBWere’s Renata Das have emerged as the mystery buyer of a former Wallaby’s Centennial Park home.
They paid $7.25 million for the Lang Rd, Centennial Park, home of former Wallaby Paul Darveniza.
The residence also had a second residence on its 1080 sqm block.
It sold for $7.25 million in May through Ray White Double Bay agent, Nic Krasnostein and colleague Alan Fettes.

Darveniza, is an associate professor and neurologist at St Vincent’s, and his wife, Anne Charteris, also a doctor, are moving to a garden apartment in The Benson in Rose Bay that cost $4.25m off-the-plan.
They’d lived at the six-bedroom home set behind a sandstone fence for 23 years.
They paid $1.6m in 1997.
The Centennial Park mansion is an investment for the couple who planning to stay in Paddington home that they bought for $3.18m in 2015.
Marketing material suggests the property will likely see the main house renting out for $3000 a week and the second home $1000 a week.
Darveniza was one of seven Wallabies known as the “magnificent seven”.

The four-bedroom, four-bathroom Point Piper apartment owned by former Sydney lord mayor Nelson Meers and his wife, Carole has been listed.
Situated on Buckhurst Ave, Point Piper, it hit the marker with a “high teens” guide via LJ Hooker Double Bay’s Bill Malouf and Margaret Morosi.
“I consider this one of the best waterfront apartments in the eastern suburbs,” Malouf advised the Wentworth Courier.
“It’s an opportunity for a penthouse-style apartment with beach access and views of the Opera House and Harbour Bridge.”

A mansion that landed former Billabong head Matthew Perrin in jail has sold for a record price.
The home, sitting on Cronin Island on the Gold Coast, was owned by Mr Perrin’s wife Nicole Bricknell.
The seven bedroom waterfront property at 15 Southern Cross Drive, Surfers Paradise, has set a record for Cronin Island after selling for $12.45 million.
The sale price was double what Mr Perrin’s ex-wife Nicole Bricknell sold the home for in January 2012, $6.1m three years after he declared bankruptcy.
<img class="sc-qYHHM dyhwPj size-full wp-image-600443" src="https://www.realestate.com.au/blog/images/1280x720-fit,progressive/2020/07/23000548/capi_80d9ce3c69ca311af8ed32b9118d60b0_572f5c02c78b7d60636499416efa77ab.jpeg" alt="" width="901" height="507" data-capiid="572f5c02c78b7d60636499416efa77ab">
Ms Bricknell – who owned the mansion – was under pressure from the Commonwealth Bank, which had attempted to seize the mansion to pay for the massive $13.5m in debt Mr Perrin owed the big four financier. Mr Perrin was jailed for eight years
She sold the home to Terry Gavan, a local businessman on the Gold Coast.
The house sits on a large 1,239 sqm block on an island where neighbours include some of the richest people in Australasia.
Among its features was a 2000-bottle wine cellar, a 12-car garage, eight bathrooms, a 10m infinity pool and a 12m pontoon with jet ski pontoons as well.

He and wife Melinda have listed their renovated 1930s European-style home they paid $4.05 million for in 2012, shortly after Bekier departed Tabcorp where he was their chief financial officer.
Now they're asking $7.5 million for the seven bedroom, five bathroom home with swimming pool through Raine and Horne agents Sam Schumann and Luke Hogan.
The sale comes with approved plans from Weir Phillips Architects which would see a top floor redesign, accessed by a spiral staircase through the centre of the home.
The plans are also for a renovation of the outdoor entertaining space, as well as providing lift access and additional parking.
The Bekier's have owned a beach house down in Callala Bay, near Jervis Bay, since paying $1.1 million in 2014.
