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.

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.

Nova Rêve arrives as Reve Group bets on Castle Hill's next growth phase

A collection of just 25 large-format apartments and penthouses overlooking Goodwin Park is entering the Coolangatta market, with <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/marea-residences-coolangatta-27-27a-dixon-street-coolangatta-qld-4225">Maréa Residences</a> combining a low-density, residential-only approach with uninterrupted park and Pacific Ocean outlooks.

Located at 27 Dixon Street, Maréa comprises three and four-bedroom residences alongside a limited number of dual-level penthouses, with the project positioned between Goodwin Park and <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/coolangatta-qld-4225">Coolangatta</a>’s coastal precinct.

Construction has commenced, with completion currently estimated for late 2027. Three-bedroom residences are priced from $1.8 million.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=150999 project_image_fid=374005]

The project has been designed around its northern outlook across the park, with the building’s architecture, landscaping and material palette intended to establish a connection with the neighbouring green space. The residences have been configured to maximise natural light and views across Goodwin Park towards the ocean.

Inside, the material palette incorporates timber, stone and brushed brass, complemented by curved detailing and ambient lighting. Kitchens and bathrooms carry the same natural material approach, while residences also include basement parking, storage and lift access.

Maréa’s penthouses are arranged over two levels and include private pools, adding another layer to the project’s focus on larger-format apartment living. Across the development, residences are configured with three or four bedrooms rather than the broader mix of smaller apartment types commonly found in larger projects.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=150999 project_image_fid=374010]

Resident amenity is concentrated at rooftop level, where landscaped entertaining terraces and pools take advantage of elevated views across Coolangatta and the Pacific Ocean.

The project has so far been particularly well received by local owner-occupiers and downsizers, according to Urban Activation Property Sales and Marketing Director Matt George, with the residential-only format, construction quality and northern park outlook among the features resonating with purchasers.

“The uninterrupted northern aspect overlooking Goodwin Park has been a key point of difference, with buyers attracted to the sense of serenity and open space the park provides, while still enjoying easy access to the ocean and being within walking distance of the lifestyle and amenities Coolangatta has to offer,” George said.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=150999 project_image_fid=374002]

“The combination of high-quality construction, a residential-only building, park outlook and proximity to the beach has resonated strongly with the local downsizer market.”

The Dixon Street address is within walking distance of Coolangatta Beach and the broader southern Gold Coast coastline, including the surf breaks at Snapper Rocks and Kirra. Coolangatta’s cafés, restaurants and retail are nearby, while Gold Coast Airport is also within close proximity.

Maréa Residences brings parkside apartments to Coolangatta

Melbourne developer PDG has secured Victorian Government approval for its $1.5 billion Southbank development <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/the-one-1-queens-bridge-street-southbank-vic-3006">The One</a>, clearing the way for the long-dormant riverfront site opposite Crown to finally be developed.

The Minister for Planning has approved the project at 1-29 Queens Bridge Street, with the Department of Transport and Planning issuing the planning permit following its assessment.

The approval will allow PDG to develop the prominent 5,059 sqm site with a major mixed-use tower comprising premium apartments, including branded residences, a luxury hotel and boutique office space.

PDG acquired the site in late 2024, with its position directly opposite Crown's main entrance and near Melbourne's Arts Precinct making it one of Southbank's most significant remaining development opportunities.

<img alt="PDG" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="3933013e-6332-4386-b9be-089df05caf17" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-08-27%20at%209.29.22%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=sITIgBqDL0N3VNSMwWEmF5UA.uvcsRyu" />

Designed by COX in collaboration with ODO and PDG, the tower's architecture draws on the movement of the Yarra River, with six vertical pleats running the height of the sculpted facade.

The project will also see the heritage-listed Queens Bridge Hotel restored and incorporated into the development&nbsp;with new hospitality and public uses, including a rooftop venue.

A significant component of The One will be its residential amenity.

More than 5,000 sqm of resident facilities will be delivered across a single level, making it one of the largest consolidated residential amenity offerings proposed in an Australian apartment development.

The planning approval also incorporates a major upgrade of Queensbridge Square, which PDG will deliver in partnership with the City of Melbourne.

<img alt="PDG" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="73167fcd-1031-4b6f-a408-a064cfe45ed1" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-08-27%20at%209.29.17%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=Pf1AEWxw6SNmBqR0zQW5lyEze.MtxgFp" />

The existing square will be revitalised as a new civic and pedestrian space along the Yarra River, strengthening the connection between the project, Southbank and the riverfront.

PDG Founder and Managing Director Vince Giuliano said the approval represented a major milestone for a site which has remained largely underutilised for more than 15 years.

“This is the most significant Planning Permit approval Melbourne has seen in recent years,” Giuliano said.

“For more than 15 years, this site has remained underutilised. This approval enables us to deliver a project that will contribute meaningfully to the revitalisation of Southbank, restore and reactivate an important heritage building, and create a new civic and hospitality destination for Melbourne.”

The latest approval follows an earlier planning permit issued by the City of Melbourne covering demolition works across part of the site at 9-29 Queens Bridge Street. Those demolition and early works are already underway.

PDG has also started generating early interest in the residential component from owner-occupiers ahead of a planned public launch in early 2027.

PDG secures approval for $1.5bn Southbank apartment development, The One

Local developer Harridan is seeking to turn its Woolloongabba apartment project into the first stage of a broader transformation of Burke Street, using a new 16-storey mixed-use building to establish a greener pedestrian connection toward the rapidly evolving Boggo Road transport and knowledge precinct.

The South East Queensland developer has filed plans for 154 apartments on the <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/4-burke-street-woolloongabba-qld-4102">southern side of Burke Street</a>, where its proposal has been designed alongside a wider vision by LatStudios for the street.

That vision positions the southern side of Burke Street for buildings of 15 storeys and above, while envisaging lower-rise development of up to five storeys on the northern side to transition into Woolloongabba's existing character housing. It also proposes wider pedestrian verges, deep planting, new street trees and upgrades to the pedestrian approach to Boggo Road Station.

The Harridan development itself has been designed by Brisbane-based Arqus Design and will comprise 154 apartments across 16 storeys. The mix is weighted heavily toward two-bedroom apartments, with 121 proposed alongside 10 one-bedroom and 23 three-bedroom residences. There will typically be around 14 units per floor.

A lower-ground car park and three podium levels will accommodate 156 resident parking spaces, along with visitor and commercial parking. There will also be 154 resident bicycle spaces and 40 visitor bicycle parks.

&nbsp;

Harridan is a family-owned developer and part of the Holmwood Highgate Group, with more than three decades of development activity across South East Queensland. Its portfolio spans residential, commercial and industrial property, with current residential projects including Riverbank on Byron in Bulimba, Esperance Residences in Carina and The Precinct at Kinross Road in Thornlands.

Wooloongabba has been popular for apartment developers, particularly since the announcement of the 2032 Summer Olympics games in Brisbane.

While there have been a lot of development applications, it has failed to materialize into real supply.&nbsp;

Sarazin has been the major player in the area. They are under construction at Murcia Residences, on the fringe of East Brisbane and Woolloongabba. They have just launched <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/the-stanley-residences-woolloongabba-8-trafalgar-street-woolloongabba-qld-4102">The Stanley Residences</a>, in Woolloongabba on Trafalagar Street. They also have Nuage coming soon on the nearby <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/nuage-woolloongabba-14-wellington-road-woolloongabba-qld-4102">Wellington Road</a>.

The former Bondi home of pioneering television vet Dr Chris Brown has been sold again.
The Dudley St offering fetched $4.65 million this time round through Goodyer Real Estate agent Amanda Balding.
It was onsold by restaurateur Micha Fort-­Williams due to his relocation to New York.
The home had failed to sell earlier last year with another agency.
The Peter Dunkley-designed home, with top-end finishes, had been sold for $4.5 million in 2017.
Dr Chris had renovated after he paid $1.92 million in 2010, two years after he began Bondi Vet, the Network Ten show that shadowed him at work at a clinic in Bondi Junction.
The buyers are a local Bondi couple.

Primo Smallgoods heir Bradley Hunt has finally found a buyer of his Clontarf home, the retired cricketer Brett Lee and his wife, Lana.
<div class="in-content-ad">

</div>
</div>
A prior $9 million plus sale of the Clontarf home fell over.
The Gordon Street home, bought by Hunt for $8.7 million from Citigroup exec Paul Sangar a decade a go, has seven bedrooms, seven bathrooms, a full-sized billiards room, swimming pool and cinema.
Hunt, son of John Hunt who co-founder Primo Smallgoods, and wife Kylie are now based in Cremorne where they bought the waterfront estate from billionaire Bob Ell for $11.2 million in 2015.
Brett Lee and his wife Lana have sold their renovated Clontarf home which was listed with $8 million to $8.8 million expectations.
The luxury three-storey residence is understood to have sold for $9 million plus in the first week of marketing.
With six contracts handed out, its didn’t even get to its first open inspection.
The couple had bought the Monash Crescent property in 2016 for $5.175 million, so they have pocketed a nice profit.
They moved to Clontarf after selling their former Seaforth home for $4.91 million.

Cricketer Nathan Lyon has secured $3,615,000 for his Port Hacking waterfront, accepting a near $200,000 loss.
The off-spinning champion listed the Sutherland Shire home in May last year, only for the deal to fall over.
It came back in September with a $3.8 million to $4.2 million guide.
It cost $3.8 million in 2016, the year before his split with partner Mel Waring.

There’s good news for former ­Cronulla Sharks star Ben Barba.
He’s finally managed to offload his former Brisbane home after just under a year on the market. He got $800,000 for it, having sought offers over $849,000 when first listed.
The price for the four-bedroom Everton Park home was revised down to offers over $799,000 before its sale.
Barba paid $769,000 in 2013, after his move to the Broncos. He only spent one season at Red Hill before moving to the Sharks.
It was a better result for Barba than he had on his Shire home.
Barba, now a labourer in North Queensland after being deregistered from the NRL for a string of high-profile incidents, sold his former ­Caringbah South home for $1,085,000 last year, nearly $100,000 less than he paid five years earlier.

Kiwi actor Sam Neill has listed his long-held charming Double Bay house for April 15 online auction.
There's $3.5 million to $4 million hopes with its <a href="https://www.domain.com.au/12-pearce-street-double-bay-nsw-2028-2016165522" target="_blank">online marketing</a> advising “vendor wants fast sale.”
The Federation bungalow was bought in 1996 for $839,000, a couple of years after he starred in the first of the Jurassic Park movies.
The sale follows Neill’s split with Noriko Watanabe a few years ago.
Since 1993 Neill has had Two Paddocks, a winery just outside of Queenstown in the Central Otago region.
Nearly two decades ago he started planting two hectares of pinot noir on a small vineyard in Gibbston.
Neill had been filming the third Jurassic World movie, Jurassic Dominion, which will see a return of his iconic character, Dr Alan Grant.
It was set to be released in 2021, but the halting of production may potentially push the release.

Having been living in California for the past six years, Australian film editor Jason Ballantine and his interior designer wife Bronwyn Poole had their former Neutral Bay home listed for auction at the weekend.
They accepted an offer for the 1920s Arts &amp; Crafts home a week ahead.
Tenanted until January by renters paying around $2750 a week through McGrath, the Spruson Street property had $4.2 million hopes.
Ballantine’s work includes Baz Luhrmann’s Great Gatsby, Wolf Creek and Mad Max: Fury Road.
Poole is an interior designer with offices in Sydney and Santa Monica.
The couple paid $2.65 million for the home in 2011 when the family was upsizing from the nearby Cremorne.
</div>
The Spruson Street property became a rental in 2013 when the family, now with three kids, moved Stateside due to Ballantine's work commitments. 
Ballantine, who had been in London working on The Kings Man, starring Ralph Fiennes, before the shutdown, has previously been the president of the Australian Screen Editors guild.
His editing work on Baz Luhrmann's Great Gatsby saw the film pick up the Best Editing Award at the 2013 Australian Academy of Cinema and Television Arts Award.
He's been nominated in the category working on Wish You Were Here (2012) and Wolf Creek (2005).
Poole is an interior designer and launched her own business, Touch Interiors, in 2000. She now has offices in Sydney and Santa Monica.
She also founded Complete Pad, an online interiors community where you can shop for individual home items and connect with a professional for help.

Test quickie Pat Cummins has his Southern Highlands investment cottage up for rent.
It seems right for these times of self-sufficiency that the Moss Vale bungalow comes complete with vegie garden and chook yard. Inside is a slow combustion heater. He quietly paid $906,000, while ripping wickets out of the ground during the now-distant win over England in The Ashes in August 2019.
The Clovelly-based bowler quickly leased the property after settlement. It came with a $550-a-week asking rental, reflecting a 3 per cent yield.
The three-bedroom home with study is now back for rent at the same price and is offered through Yvonne Farcic at Hindmarsh &amp; Walsh Property.
It is set in 2325sq m of established gardens and mature trees. The 1930s residence comes with original features such as 10ft ceilings and timber floors.
Cummins has been in Clovelly since paying $1,362,500 for a three-bedroom unit just off the high street.
Moss Vale is not quite a complete exit from the rat race — a la Tom and Barbara Good in the 1970s BBC television series The Good Life — but the desire to become more self-sufficient has soared in recent weeks.
The City Chicks business in Sydney is regularly sold out of all its available hybrid chooks, bound for the backyards of families who want “eggs on legs”.

Nova FM radio host Kent “Smallzy” Small has quickly sold his Waterloo investment property with a very bullish exit price.
The 110sqm, two-bedroom, two-bathroom unit in the trendy SJB-­designed Casba complex had a $1.3 million price guide through BresicWhitney. But it sold within a week of listing for $1.57 million.
Raised in Sydney’s western suburbs, Smallzy travelled the world covering music events before the current entertainment industry lockdown, which has prompted him to put together a self-isolation playlist this week.
Smallzy had called the Dank St apartment home since 2015, paying $1.08 million for the apartment, which was built by Michael Grant’s Cornerstone just a year earlier.
The apartment became an investment in 2018 when he upsized, spending $2.1 million on a townhouse in nearby Alexandria. It had an initial $970-a-week asking rental, but the ongoing pinch in the oversupplied apartment rental market saw him more recently seeking $925 a week.
Currently Waterloo has 234 properties available for rent, according to realestate.com.au. Its units rent for $695 per week, reflecting a 4.3 per cent rental yield.
Based on five years of sales, Waterloo has seen an ordinary compound growth rate of 1.2 per cent. Notwithstanding the coronavirus cleanliness issues of open-for-inspections, estate agents across Sydney will face challenging times finding buyers as they deal with an influx of investment listings after Easter. There will be a spike in listings from get-out-early, worried landlords.
These landlords will be anxious about their rental income given their tenants, spending their down time — or “iso” — sunbaking when ever possible on overcrowded beaches, could face challenges paying rents should they be cut back to minimal gig economy hours or, worse, outright redundancy.
Of course many owner-occupiers and investors will also face employment issues.
But, unlike the early 1990s recession, they’ll probably have an investment apartment to offload rather than having to quickly sell the family home.

Channel Seven reporter and newsreader Ryan Phelan and girlfriend, ballet teacher Chelsea Franklin, have bought a home together in Frenchs Forest.
The couple snapped the 2012-built Frenchs Forest home paying $2.16 million.
The pair both posted to Instagram their success.
"We BOUGHT a house! Blessed beyond measure," Franklin captioned a photo of the pair in front of the sold sign outside the house.
They missed out on a few places on their search, getting outbid previously.
Franklin has taken one of the rooms up as a home office with a ballet barre.
The custom-built two storey family home has five bedrooms and three separate living spaces.
The main open plan living, kitchen and dining area opens to the alfresco entertaining deck and lawned landscaped back yard.
It last traded for $1,382,500 in 2013 when brand new.
Ray White Lower North Shore agent Robert Babic and Desiree Hough secured the sale.
Phelan, who joined the Seven Network in 2013, began dating Chelsea two years ago, following his split from former escort Samantha X.
