<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.

Retired Socceroo captain Mile Jedinak has sold his St Ives investment apartment for $820,000.
The 34 year old Camperdown-born midfielder, who is currently playing for Aston Villa in England, paid $570,000 for the apartment in 2009, just after he left the Central Coast Mariners for Europe.
The 90 square metre, two bedroom apartment in the Meriton-built Loralea Gardens complex, has been a rental during his decade long ownership while he played overseas.
The sale was through Meriton Group project sales manager Jason Miao WHO secured the sale, having initially offered a guide of $850,000 to $900,000, before revising the guide to $800,000 to $850,000.
Jedinak is rumoured to be returning to the A-League next season, with one of the expansion teams believed to have tabled an offer.

Professional surfer Julian Wilson and wife Ashley have moved to Coolum, where Julian grew up.
Having sold their Peregian Beach home for $4.15 million, the couple have moved to Coolum, paying $1.08 million for a five bedroom, architect designed home on 640 square metres.
The north facing home features an open plan living kitchen and dining which opens to an alfresco area and salt water swimming pool in landscaped gardens.
PRD Nationwide Coolum Beach agent Greg Glover sold the home.
Late last year the couple sold their award winning Peregian Beach home.
Wilson paid $3,325,000 for the Tim Ditchfield-designed home with external zinc cladding and concrete and timber features in 2015.
In 2009 it was awarded House of the Year and received a Regional Commendation by the Australian Institute of Architects.

Retired racing driver Jason Bright and wife Lucy are selling their Richmond home.
They're asking for offers between $2 million and $2.2 million for the townhouse that was designed by Melbourne designer Stephen Akehurst in the late 1990s.
There was no hiding Bright's ownership in the marketing. The games room features a shelf with dozens of race helmets Bright collected over his near two decade career.
The three bedroom, two bathroom family home features an entertaining terrace with built-in barbecue.
Kay &amp; Burton Bayside agents Tim Blackett and Alex Schiavo have the listing.
Bright completed in the Virgin Australia Supercars Championship, driving for Britek Motorsport then Brad Jones Racing.
He retired in 2017, with his greatest achievement coming in 1998 when he won the Bathurst 1000.
Bright runs Taskforce, a trades and services franchise which he set up in 2013.

The long-time Darlinghurst home of the late costume designer and early Sydney Mardi Gras activist Ron Muncaster has been listed for sale.
Affectionately known as the Master of Sequins, Muncaster paid $110,000 for the 1860s built home in 1985, shortly after he started created costumes for the parade.
A number of its 1800s features have been retained, such as its raw brick and sandstone walls, fireplaces, high ceilings and exposed original beams.
The <a href="https://www.realestate.com.au/property-terrace-nsw-darlinghurst-130954586" target="_blank">four bedroom terrace</a> sits behind a sandstock brick facade on its 180 sqm Crown Street parcel.

The terrace has its own courtyard, and there's rear lane access to a fully self-contained loft-style apartment with balcony.
Now 18 months after his death, Matt Marano of Oxford Agency has a price guide of $2.5 million. Matt and Michael Marano have the May 11 auction listing.

The Toongabbie district home of jailed TAB tricksters Trevor Raine and wife Talanoa has been sold by the mortgagees for $620,000.
It fetched $140,000 less than the couple paid three years ago when fibros were selling at inflated prices.
The home was listed by the mortgagee as the couple have been serving prison sentences for scamming the TAB out of $600,000.
The mortgagee had to slash the asking price of the Constitution Hill home seven times since its failed auction last August. 
They initially sought $790,000 for the renovated 1950s two-bedroom, one-bathroom home set on 515 square metres which had Westpac as being the registered lender.
There was also a caveat from Tabcorp stating it inadvertently contributed to the purchase.
“Trevor Bruce Raine’s fraudulent misappropriation of funds from the caveator (Tabcorp) was used to pay the deposit,” the Tabcorp caveat read.
Trevor Raine, who was an IT specialist at Tabcorp, was handed a 28-month sentence, while Talanoa’s involvement was less severe, resulting in a 15-month stint.
They were found guilty of fraud after Trevor scoured Tabcorp’s database for winning tickets that had not been claimed for at least three months. 
He then copied the serial numbers to redeem the winnings on fake tickets. 
They were found out when a TAB customer attempted to cash in a ticket that had already been claimed by the Raines with a duplicated fake.
CoreLogic calculates the time on market for Constitution Hill as typically 39 days, but this sale took 200 days.
“We are under strict instructions from the mortgagee to not discuss this sale with the media,” agent Peter Younan said.

Fashion magazine RUSSH editor-in-chief Jess Blanch and her husband, financial adviser Marty Switzer, have bought in Centennial Park — spending $4.43 million on a restored 1910 Federation semi on Cook Rd.
The four-bedroom, three-bathroom home on 430 sqm last traded at $2 million in 2010.
The couple had previously failed over many months to find a buyer through McGrath Estate Agents for their Paddington terrace, so recently put the Jersey Rd terrace up for $1850-a-week rental.
They paid $1.1 million for the four-bedroom Victorian in 2002.

The Forty Winks chairman, Paul Jensen, and his wife, Felicity, have their longtime Rose Bay home listed with an $8 million price guide.
Sydney Sotheby’s International Realty’s Michael Pallier has the listing of the five-bedroom home at 2 Beresford Road.
The couple bought it 26 years ago for $870,000.
<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/2019/4/9/Winks2.jpg" alt="">
The 883 sqm block could attract attention from developers although the home was renovated nine years ago.
The home has five bedrooms, including a master with private balcony and harbour views, his and hers bespoke studies and a gym.
The park-like gardens comprise a level lawn, outdoor entertaining terrace and a swimming pool.
There are also edible gardens, providing produce of avocado, fig, orange, grapefruit, lemon, lime, mandarin, tamarillo and feijoa trees, along with kefir lime, bay and lemongrass.

International fashion designer Collette Dinnigan has quietly offloaded her Surry Hills HQ. 
She had owned the Hutchinson Street warehouse for more than 20 years, having paid $1,225,000 in 1998. 
She recently secured a $6 million off-market sale, with the buyer now emerging as a company directed by Jake O’Neil, son of property developer Denis O’Neil. 
The warehouse-style, three-level offices are currently leased to marketing consultants Goodtrip and green energy supplier Eco Renewable Energy.
The O’Neil family-owned Addenbrooke development firm has proposed the 610 square metre space be converted into 11 apartments.
Last year Dinnigan signalled her exit from the world of commercial property when she sold her first shop on the William Street, Paddington retail strip, which she had bought for $625,000 in 1998.
It fetched $1,655,000 to eastern suburbs socialite tailor Patrick Johnson through estate agent Ivan Bresic.
Dinnigan’s focus has moved from fashion design to Bespoke Homes, a luxury rental platform she is developing with her husband, hotel and tourism entrepreneur Bradley Cocks.
They’ve just returned from Italy where they’re restoring a 400-year-old farmhouse in Puglia.
They also have residential properties in Darling Point, the beachside Rosedale on the South Coast, and a Paddington warehouse.

The former The Block contestants Michael and Carlene Duffy have secured the sale of their latest project — a vintage caravan dubbed Bumblebee.
It sold prior to its recent Ray White auction for $24,000.
Apparently, a few years back they ditched their damp tent camping instead to buy some wheels.
The experienced renovators and designers have now renovated four vintage caravans.
Found on Gumtree, Bumblebee is a 3.6m-long renovated vintage Franklin caravan with single axle.
There are rattan and oak cabinets and an on-board water system.
The dining table converts to a bed.
The husband and wife team were contestants on the Melbourne series of The Block Glasshouse in 2014 when they made just $10,000 profit, well behind brothers Simon and Shannon Vos on $435,000.
The couple ­remain on the Gold Coast in the semi-rural Tallebudgera. They were 27 when they purchased the home which is still a project nine years on.
The duo who run Cedar + Suede, a home design and construction service, are hosts of home renovation and lifestyle shows, Ready Set Reno and Open Homes Australia.
