<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.

Radio Nova 96.9 newsreader Matt de Groot and his entertainment reporter wife Bronte Coy are leaving their Mosman nest and looking toward the Cronulla area for something bigger. 
Coy’s family is based in the Shire.
De Groot — the breakfast newsreader for Fitzy &amp; Wippa, as well as a rugby league commentator and game day MC for the Sydney Swans, Wallabies and the Sydney Sixers — bought the apartment in 2016.
He paid $815,000 for the two-bedroom, first level unit in the Nuova building.
Complete with a study nook, the open plan living and dining space, as well as both bedrooms, open on to the courtyard.
He’s now asking $950,000 for the 95 square metre unit which is set to go under the hammer on September 12 auction through Ray White Lower North Shore agent Lewis Adams.
The median price for a two-bed unit by realestate.com.au figures is $980,000.
A three-bedroom Cronulla home’s median is about $2 million.

An Eaglemont home designed in the late 1940s by Robert G Warren, who was influenced by the Case Study school of Californian modernism, has been listed for sale.
It's currently home of ARM Architecture director Jesse Judd, who paid $925,000 12 years ago.

The four bedroom family home has been reinterpreted with classic 1950s signatures, notably a glazed brick entrance wall, a pixelated tribute to Howard Arkley's iconic 'Suburban Exterior'.
It sits in 870 square metres in the Burley Griffin-designed Glenard Estate.

Jacinta McDonell, the entrepreneurial co-founder of Anytime Fitness Australia, and her partner, Matthew Connolly, founder of Concept Projects, have secured $7.35 million for their recently refurbished Woollahra home.
The buyer emerged in under two weeks of marketing.
Their renovation on View Street was a special one.
Every tradie they hired donated a percentage of their works contract to The Human Kind Project, a non-profit foundation that funds life-changing projects in Africa.
McDonnell set up the foundation in 2015 after visiting Malawi a year earlier.
The renovation raised more than $65,000 for the African community that the couple visited in 2017, shortly before they bought the home for $5.5 million.
<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/2019/8/26/68%20View%20Street%20Woollahra.jpg" alt="">
The couple have named the renovated five-bedroom home Nchalo, after the community it supports in Malawi.
It was set to go to auction on August 31 with a $7 million price guidance.
Designed to capture Cooper Park views, the property is being marketed as “a calm and serene home with the incredible luxury of the best location’’.
The couple installed a lift which Phillips Pantzer Donnelley agents David Tyrrell and Alexander Phillips suggest is was what you “would expect in a high end renovation’’.
Brother and sister Jacinta and Justin McDonell’s fitness company started in Gunnedah when they opened the first Anytime Fitness in 2008.

Kim Peabody, the wife of former Brisbane restauranteur TJ Peabody, has listed the couple's sprawling Chelmer home with a price guide of up to $11m.
It cost $2.85 million in 2003 when they were upgrading from St Lucia.

Ray White New Farm agents Matt Lancashire and Meaghan Bakker have the riverfront listing.
The grand family home, which won the Master Builders House of the Year in 2009, was designed by Harry Poulous Architects using elements of classic American architecture.
Under the handcrafted Welsh slate roof with 34 roof pitches lies seven bedrooms, seven bathrooms, a billiard room with a bar and a walk in, climate controlled 1,200 bottle wine cellar.
<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/2019/8/26/TJ%20Peabody%20Chelmer%203.jpg" alt="">
There's two fully self-contained guest houses in the 2,400 sqm landscaped gardens which also feature a championship-size, floodlit tennis court and a heated swimming pool, looked over by the barbecue kitchen alfresco space.
The heir to the $500 million Peabody fortune is selling to pay back his father who bailed him out when his Brisbane restaurant empire collapsed two years ago.
TJ Peabody had fine-dining establishments in Indooroopilly, Fortitude Valley and Petrie Terrace offering Italian, grill and Nantucket-style food.
His father, rich-lister Terry Peabody paid off creditor bills following the collapse.
TJ was adamant the sale was his decision, not a forced sale.

Ray White agent Michael King says the design of steel, glass and sandstone offers a modern aesthetic along with its recent refurbishment aimed at creating a calming coastal ambience.
It was bought for $4,825,000 in 2015 after the clifftop property was designed by architect Joe Rooz for the Double Bay dentist David Penn and his wife, Linda, who then moved to their 2150 square metre holding next door.

The beachside Wombarra retreat of the late entertainment industry ­legend Harry M. Miller has been listed for sale by the ­executors of his estate.
Set where the escarpment meets the Pacific Ocean and ­hidden in bushland, the four-bedroom home has been listed for a September 13 auction.
There’s been a designer renovation of the two-storey home which offers direct access to Scarborough Beach, north of Wollongong.
The home is described as a laid-back coastal oasis customised for five-star family comfort, by Belle Property ­Illawarra listing agent ­Andrew McLeod.
<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/2019/8/22/Harry%20M%20Miller%20Wombarra%202.jpg" alt="">
No price guide has been given but Wombarra’s record price was on Reef Avenue when a waterfront two-bedroom home on 1440 square metres fetched $4 million last year.
Miller, who in his early years promoted tours with the likes of Louis Armstrong and Judy Garland in the 1960s, bought the home in 2004.
He paid $2,225,000 for the then small timber house on its 1043 square metre holding.
<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/2019/8/22/Harry%20M%20Miller%20Wombarra.jpg" alt="">
The house, that dates back to the 1920s, has water views from the central lounge and dining area.
A timber fireplace sits in the living room with high raked ceilings. There’s two entertainers’ decks.
Miller’s longtime partner, the Bellevue Hill-based ­caterer Simmone Logue has spent time at the property following his death in July last year, aged 84.
<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/2019/8/22/Harry%20M%20Miller%20Wombarra%203.jpg" alt="">
On one visit she posted a picture on Instagram of the fireplace and the sea with the caption: “Missing my Harry.”
The couple had met in the late ’90s, with Miller ­describing Logue shortly after his 2009 retirement as “the love of my life”.
He had handed his ­business to his daughter, Lauren Miller Cilento.
Ian Robertson at Holding Redlich Lawyers and accountant Rodney Naumburger are the executors of the estate.
Miller, who expressed a wish for his ashes to be ­scattered down the cliff in front of his house, had ­previously owned properties in Potts Point, Darlinghurst, Foxground and ­Woolloomooloo.

There’s been a whisper-quiet $10 million sale, the highest price paid in the expensive suburb this year.
Molnar and wife, Gabrielle, who married in November 2015, have been residing in a smaller nearby North Bondi apartment that they bought together in 2013, a year before the buy-now, pay-later giant was founded.
The new penthouse acquisition was atop the recently completed triplex project by the Assouline family.
With ocean and beach views, the two level 210 sqm apartment with three car spaces is positioned on the coveted Ben Buckler peninsula.
In June Molnar (pictured) and fellow co-founder Anthony Eisen, who late last year spent $7.6 million in Byron, cashed out $100 million of shares.
Molnar, the 29-year-old former head of fintech Afterpay Touch, launched the firm on the ASX in 2017 at $2.95 per share. The shares are now trading at around $24.
Afterpay launched in the US just over a year ago, with Molnar now in the role of global chief revenue officer.
Afterpay has more than three million customers and over 20,000 retail merchants.

Afterpay boss Nick Molnar spends $10 million in North Bondi

<html><body>
Sydney Roosters head coach Trent Robinson and wife Sandra scored $2.51 million when their Waverley home went to auction yesterday.
Phillips Pantzer Donnelley agent Debbie Donnelley had been marketing the home with a price guide of $2.3 million.
But keen interest from five bidders saw auctioneer Damien Cooley knock it down to the last bidding entrant, a young first-home buyer couple who bid up from their $2,485,000 initial offer.
The Robinsons intend to trade up in the eastern suburbs, looking to move closer to the beach.
The Waverley home was bought for $1,815,000 in 2014, a year after Robinson took the top job at the club.
Bordering Clovelly, the two-level, three-bedroom home on 210 square metres has two living areas separated by a new kitchen.
Robinson met Sandra, from the French village of Montrabe, while coaching with Toulouse and Catalans. They returned to Australia in 2013.
