<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.

<img alt="First look: New 139-apartment plans revive long-stalled Campbelltown city centre site" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="c8b3d2d3-c561-4bfc-a5d9-a68c0c10dac1" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Campbelltown%20da1.png?VersionId=AeAEyJU02Gk2k5noUj2StziCvdQ7fW4B" />

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.

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.

Businessman Basil Mcilhagga, the Hong Kong-based CEO of mining giant Stibium Group, pulled his long-held Paddington home from its recent auction.
It came with $5.5 million hopes, and a $6 million asking price in the days after the scheduled pre-Easter auction.
Mcilhagga's first purchase was a 300 square metre landholding which had a three bedroom terrace. He paid $540,000 back in 1992.
Seven years later he paid $360,000 for the 120 square metre next door.
Now the <a href="https://www.realestate.com.au/property-house-nsw-paddington-130744770" target="_blank">Caledonia Street property</a> comprises a main house and an adjoining cottage.
The main residence has three bedrooms, two marble bathrooms and an entertainers' terrace with swimming pool.
The cottage has two bedrooms.
Bradfield Cleary agents Bob Guth and Georgie Cleary have the listing.
Another multi-lot Caledonia Street offering from cosmetic surgeon Alia Nasser and her dentist husband Nasser Elhage fetched $7.7 million last weekend, having had $7.5 million hopes through Ben Collier at The Agency.
The couple bought the 450-square-metre property with a central courtyard and swimming pool for $4,779,000 million in 2013, plus a car space across the road with a one bedroom unit.
It comprised three dwellings on three titles.

Australian cricketer Mitchell Marsh has joined his brother Shaun in upgrading in Perth.
Mitchell has paid $2.75 million for a 1990s built home in Cottesloe, the beachside suburb north-west of the Perth CBD.
The heavily traded home, which only went up $50,000 from its 2012 sale, has four bedrooms and two bathrooms.
Its downstairs living areas open to the outdoors through large sliding doors.
Space Real Estate agent Justin Davies sold the home in just 16 days when asking for offers in the high $2 millions.
Mitchell, who has just undergone surgery on his groin, recently sold his former Bicton home for $2.38 million.

The departing Gold Coast politician Steve Ciobo, the Liberal Party Gold Coast member, and wife Astra, have very quietly sold their Gold Coast home.
The couple's Surfers Paradise property fetched $3.02 million, well up from the $2.06 million paid in 2015.
The Mediterranean inspired entertainer on a 1,185 square metre Isle of Capri parcel fronts the Main River.
There's no sign of buying back, but the Ciobo's retain a Hope Island apartment.
When asked, his office advised Ciobo doesn't wish to comment.
"He is staying living in the electorate," they assured.
Ciobo served as the minister for trade, tourism and investment in the Turnbull Government from February 2016 <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steven_Ciobo#cite_note-1"></a>until August 2018 in the wake of the Liberal Party leadership spill. He was then Minister for Defence Industry until March 2019.
The house was architecturally designed in 2001 for a large family and has six bedrooms, four bathrooms and an open study across its 675 square metre living space.
A Balinese thatched barbecue pavilion overlooking the sheltered swimming pool sit in the grounds.

Willow Farm, the longtime Berry retreat of writer Amy Willesee (of the famed media family) and her writer husband Mark Whittaker, has been ­listed for sale.
Since 2014, the 65 hectare grass-fed sheep and cattle farm has been a popular wedding venue with party shed and bookings year round, but especially September to May.
The homestead is 100 years old, set in its own valley, along with farm stay and a yoga shala.
South Coast Prestige Properties listing agent Carrie Bond said her vendors “love of gardening is the creative force behind the flower beds, orchards and landscaping”.
The rambling country gardens feature roses, hydrangeas, magnolias and a jacaranda.
There are old dairy doors covered in ivy and pergolas dripping with wisteria.
The grounds come with a freshwater creek, ­orchard, veggie garden, a chook run, plus a pond with an island.
It was Amy’s mother, Carol Willesee who ran a herd of Murray Grey cattle at the former dairy after its 2003 acquisition.
The then Botany-based couple took on the farm after Carol, a former model and actor, and ex-wife of television journalist Mike Willesee, died in 2006 from the rare Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease.
It seems Whittaker and Willesee have decided it’s time to write and travel some more.
The duo wrote Love and Death in Kathmandu: A Strange Tale of Royal Murder in 2003.

Architect Karl Fender is likely to emerge among the initial buyers in the Saint Moritz, St Kilda project.
He's the lead architect on the $550 million redevelopment of the Novotel hotel site on St Kilda’s Esplanade which officially went on sale recently.
It is a joint venture between Tim Gurner and Greg Shand, the Sydney developer.
"I would live here in a heartbeat," Fender told a recent property industry lunch.
"Watch this space," he added noting he was "really invested, as the office is, in the location".
"To live here and to have the Stokehouse as my canteen, to have the beach bumping against my front door, look it's just an amazing project in an amazing location and you'd have to be a fool to not want to live here desperately, and I'm no fool."
He calls a 71st floor apartment in Eureka Tower home.

Architect-turned-magazine publisher Marcello Grand has sold his Victorian ­Paddington terrace that he attempted to flip late last December when the auction attracted no bids.
The transformed terrace was ­relisted for auction last month, selling last week at an undisclosed price, but understood to be around $2.38 million.
This time its new listing agent Catherine Dixon at Phillips Pantzer Donnelley offered $2.6 million price guidance.
Grand, who established Studio Magazines in the 1980s, paid $2,215,000 in April two years ago.
He spent months reconfiguring the three levels, and added a bathroom.
The council was advised the costings were $150,000.
Set behind a yellow front door, the Underwood Street home still has three bedrooms.

Sydney’s Darlinghurst has always been a little bit bohemian.
And two Crown Street offerings certainly have colourful vendor histories.
Madison Ashton, the famed Sydney escort and former mistress of late cardboard king Richard Pratt, has listed her chic home (pictured above) with $1.1 million hopes.
Nearby there’s the far more traditional, untouched, long-time terrace (pictured below) of the late costume designer and early mardi gras activist Ron Muncaster.
Known as the Master of Sequins, Muncaster paid $110,000 for the 1860s-built home in 1985, a year after he won the parade’s inaugural costume prize.
<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/2019/4/15/darlinghurst%202.jpg" alt="">
There’s raw brick and sandstone walls, fireplaces, high ceilings and exposed original beams.
Now, 18 months after his death, Matt Marano of Oxford Agency has a price guide of $2.5 million for its May 11 auction.
“It is a prized inner city setting footsteps to a world of arts, fashion and entertainment,” Marano said.
There are scantily-clad images that line the walls at both homes.
Ashton’s two-bedroom apartment features plush interiors with mirrored walls and chandeliers amid Pilou Asbaek decor finishes.
Its redesign came after her company paid $735,000 in 2012 in a purchase from actor siblings Joel and Nash Edgerton.
Ashton, who hails from Victoria, is planning to move to the CBD.

It's hard to keep an off-market trophy home listing a secret for very long on Sydney’s ­insular peninsula.
Word spread quickly last week across the northern beaches that Australia’s most awarded choreographer and producer David Atkins was quietly seeking buyers for his luxury Collaroy abode.
The offering was texted to the burgeoning Belle Property buyers’ mobile phone list.
<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/2019/4/16/ATKINS2.jpg" alt="">
Coming with the same facade photo as its 2016 purchase, it was easily identifiable as the Collaroy home that Atkins bought after his move from Manly, where he successfully flipped a $6.4 million home.
Atkins, who was involved in entertainment events connected to the 2000 Sydney Olympics, paid $5.05 million for the Collaroy home, a chic designer residence just off the beach.
It was bought from Sean Nicholls, a marketing veteran, and his interior designer wife Dita, who recently sold their next abode, just a few doors along, for $5.1 million.
Belle Property agents Brendan Pomponio and Joshua Perry, who are handling the home’s marketing, were busy yesterday afternoon taking through the keenest of prospective $7 million-plus buyers.
<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/2019/4/16/ATKINS3.jpg" alt="">
Fresh pictures of the further renovated home are set to be published in the Manly Daily later this month.
Atkins, who married his wife Elli at Jonah’s Whale Beach in 2015, is best known for his made-in-Australia musical Hot Shoe Shuffle, an exuberant tribute to tap dancing.
The diminutive dancer has starred in 20 or so major musicals from Cats to A Chorus Line, and has worked with a who’s who of international performers including Elton John, Frank Sinatra, Olivia Newton-John and Peter Allen.

Bryant Plavsic, a corporate adviser at Evello Partners, has emerged as the $8 million buyer of the Centennial Park mansion, Warwick.
The Martin Rd property was sold by the Ross family ahead of its March auction through The Agency’s Ben Collier.
Warwick, the modernised trophy home, was once owned by the University of NSW as its residence for its Vice-Chancellor.
The university sold it for $5.1 million in 2005 having bought it for $3.8 million in 2002 from the Kemeny family.
Plavsic earned a bachelor of commerce with first class honours from the university where he was the top graduate of his year.
The Federation mansion, on an 828sqm block, had an $8 million guide, with Plavsic having also considered a home on Robertson Road recently sold by TV producer Nick Murray.
There have been 10 sales at $8 million or higher, with six of them above $10 million, over the past 13 years.

The contents of the recently sold Rose Bay home of Geoff Levy and wife Debbie went auction last weekend.
The six bedroom home fetched more than $13 million through Ray White agents Gavin Rubinstein and Elliott Placks.
The Churchill Road home of Levy, who is the chairman of Monash Private Capital, sold after just 15 days on the market.
The contents include art works by David Bromley, John Olsen and Charles Blackman that weren’t there during the open for inspections, suggesting some are on consignment through Charleston’s Fine Art Auctions.
