<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/broadbeach-qld-4218">Broadbeach</a> offers plenty of reasons to live vertically, but moving from a substantial family home into an apartment can expose the compromises of high-density living. Privacy, room for guests and usable living space tend to matter more when an apartment is intended as a permanent home rather than an occasional coastal base.

A typical residential floor at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/the-eveleigh-broadbeach-7-9-surf-parade-broadbeach-qld-4218">The Eveleigh</a>, on Surf Parade,&nbsp;contains just four apartments. The 94-residence development by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/hirsch-faigen">Hirsch &amp; Faigen</a> is predominantly made up of expansive three-bedroom homes, with a limited collection of half-floor penthouses above.

Across the apartment floors, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/rothelowman">Rothelowman</a> has used the relatively limited number of residences to give each home greater access to natural light and outlook. Living spaces extend towards full-height glazing, while a series of bay windows frame selected views across the Pacific Ocean, city and hinterland rather than treating the building edge as a continuous wall of glass.

&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=149670 project_image_fid=360965]

“The apartment floors deliver a collection of homes that embrace controlled outlook via a series of bay windows deliberately framing moments of view,” Rothelowman Director Kim Lowman said.

From outside, those projecting forms contribute to the tower’s faceted profile. Strong horizontal and vertical elements establish its proportions, while the changing position of the sun alters the light, shadow and reflection across the façade throughout the day.

The same attention moves inside the apartments, where the material palette combines warm timber, natural stone, metallic detailing and softer curved forms. Kitchens sit within the main living zone, with stone island benches, integrated joinery and European appliances, before the living areas extend towards the glazing and the outlook.

&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=149670 project_image_fid=360981]

Three genuine bedrooms provide room to accommodate family and guests, while two secure car spaces and storage address some of the practical considerations that can become more noticeable when moving from a larger home. Feedback from the display suite has centred on the warmth and restraint of the interiors, with buyers commenting that the residences feel like homes rather than conventional coastal apartments.

A limited collection of half-floor penthouses occupies the upper levels, increasing the scale of the living spaces and adding private balconies and elevated finishes. From this position, the outlook extends between the ocean and hinterland.

Outside the private residences, The Eveleigh separates its shared spaces between the podium and rooftop. The podium is centred on wellness, with subtropical landscaping surrounding a swimming pool and pool terrace, yoga garden, private gymnasium, sauna and hot and cold plunge facilities. Landscaped retreats and pavilions provide additional places to sit away from the main recreation areas.

&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=149670 project_image_fid=360966]

Higher in the building, a rooftop pavilion and private dining suite sit alongside resident lounge, barbecue and outdoor dining areas, opening towards panoramic views across the ocean, city and hinterland.

“Buyers are no longer just looking for an apartment, but a lifestyle where they can relax, reset, and enjoy a balanced way of living,” Hirsch &amp; Faigen Director of Sales Matt George said.

Interest to date has come from established owner-occupiers and interstate lifestyle purchasers, including buyers planning a future move to the Gold Coast. Many are coming from larger homes and want to reduce ongoing maintenance without giving up space for family and guests, privacy, two car spaces or the ability to entertain at home.

&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=149670 project_image_fid=360969]

Much of that daily life can also take place beyond the building without requiring a drive. Kurrawa Beach and Pratten Park are an easy walk from Surf Parade, while Pacific Fair, Oracle Boulevard, The Oasis, restaurants, cafés, entertainment and public transport are also within walking distance.

The Eveleigh is Hirsch &amp; Faigen's fourth Gold Coast development since entering the market in 2021, following The Hemingway at Palm Beach, The Emerson at Kirra and Yves at Mermaid Beach. Each of the preceding projects sold out before completion.

“Broadbeach had been on our radar throughout our time operating on the Gold Coast,” the developer said. “Following our projects in Palm Beach, Kirra and Mermaid Beach, Broadbeach represented the natural next step for the business.”

The Surf Parade site brought together proximity to the beach, protected coastal outlooks and walkability to dining, shopping and recreation. Hirsch &amp; Faigen also identified the street as an emerging premium residential address, with enough separation from Broadbeach's busier destinations to retain a quieter environment at home.

The Eveleigh is now under construction by Maxcon, with completion forecast for mid-2028. Three-bedroom residences are currently available from $2.87 million.

The Eveleigh brings house-like apartments to Broadbeach

A long-stalled Campbelltown development site is back in play, with new plans for 139 apartments set to supersede a mixed-use scheme approved almost a decade ago but never built.

The new proposal for 28 Cordeaux Street would deliver 116 market and 23 affordable apartments in a part 14-storey building, bringing a substantial new project into a Campbelltown market where new apartment supply remains limited.

Plans have been filed over the 3,092 sqm corner site at Moore-Oxley Street, around 600 metres from Campbelltown Railway Station and the city-centre retail core.

The site already carries a mixed-use residential approval dating to 2016. Doroch Architects has now been engaged on a larger replacement scheme, which is progressing as a State Significant Development Application following a Housing Delivery Authority determination in August 2025.

The apartment mix comprises 39 one-bedroom, 72 two-bedroom and 28 three-bedroom residences. Two-bedroom apartments make up just over half of the project, while three-bedroom homes account for 20 per cent.

<img alt="First look: New 139-apartment plans revive long-stalled Campbelltown city centre site" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="136dd5b9-3791-4da6-9e31-76f533f5b4de" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Campbelltown%20da2.png?VersionId=LgOSy9nwf5u.MGswBBwaGGxuX8QpHSl_" />

Of the 139 apartments, 23 will be delivered as affordable housing under the in-fill affordable housing provisions of the Housing SEPP. The affordable component represents 15 per cent of the residential gross floor area and will be managed by a registered Community Housing Provider.

Doroch has sought to break the scale of the building into two distinct elements, with a masonry podium of around four storeys establishing the street edge before the residential tower steps back above.

The corner position has shaped that approach. Cordeaux Street faces toward the commercial and civic centre, while Moore-Oxley Street leads into the lower-scale residential neighbourhood to the south, and the design verification report describes the site as "bridging the commercial core to the north and established residential areas to the south."

The podium will be expressed predominantly in face brick, while the upper levels shift to brushed and grooved concrete cladding with darker metal detailing. Recessed sections, deep balcony edges and landscaping break down the upper form, with an approximately 11.8-metre setback to the northern boundary addressing the adjoining St Peters Anglican School.

Campbelltown has been starved of new residential developments in the last decade.

The only other notable development set to come to market this year is ALAND's Queen Square, a mixed-use precinct on over two hectares that will comprise apartments above a vibrant ground-level retail and hospitality dining precinct.

First Look: Sherlock Construction pitches apartments for low-rise Deception Bay

Queensland builder-developer MAYD has revealed the first look at its major North Kirra beachfront development, lodging amended plans that reduce the number of apartments and increase the proportion of larger residences.

The project is planned across a substantial 4,742 sqm amalgamated site spanning seven lots at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/2-6-pacific-parade-bilinga-qld-4225">2-6 Pacific Parade</a> and 27-33 Golden Four Drive in Bilin​ga, directly opposite Nor​th Kirra Beach.

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/mayd-group">MAYD</a> secured the site for $32.5 million in 2025, in what was one of the Gold Coast's largest property transactions of the year.

The development will be delivered across two stages, with the first stage carrying an estimated gross realisation value of around $360 million.

The latest amendments seek to reduce the overall apartment count and shift the project further toward the owner-occupier market, with larger residences designed for buyers wanting considerably more space than traditionally offered in a beachfront apartment.

The residential mix will include townhomes, oversized two-bedroom apartments, substantial three-bedroom residences and four-bedroom homes.

MAYD has appointed Cera Stribley to lead the architecture and interiors, with the Melbourne-based design practice drawing on the beachfront setting through a series of ocean-facing terraces and heavily landscaped balconies.

Strong horizontal forms and curved balconies will define the exterior, with subtropical landscaping integrated throughout the building to soften the built form and increase the connection between the residences and the beachfront.

The project will also include an extensive collection of resident wellness and lifestyle facilities, continuing the broader shift across the Gold Coast's luxury apartment market toward larger homes supported by resort-style amenity.

<img alt="MAYD" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="d1bcbb05-e659-4b47-8bd4-1e595315e2ad" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-08-27%20at%202.05.03%E2%80%AFPM.png?VersionId=jj0XEud1X1DuLt7_KyElhjMdZGOXmLHP" />

MAYD Founder Todd Mould said North Kirra was increasingly appealing to buyers attracted to the more established, lower-density character of the southern Gold Coast.

"North Kirra presents one of the most compelling luxury residential opportunities currently emerging in Australia, combining absolute beachfront with the character and authenticity that buyers are increasingly seeking, and the same sense of tight-knit community that defined Burleigh and Currumbin perhaps 10 or 15 years ago," Mould said.

"With Gold Coast Airport on its doorstep, it also offers a level of accessibility that broadens its appeal across almost every market demographic."

The project comes as the southern Gold Coast continues to attract an increasing share of high-end apartment development and buyer activity.

Kirra in particular has emerged as one of the region's more tightly held beachfront markets, with its relatively low-density character, established surf and hospitality scene and proximity to Gold Coast Airport differentiating it from the higher-density markets further north.

Mould said those characteristics had informed the approach MAYD and Cera Stribley had taken to the project.

"We've worked closely with Cera Stribley to create a vision that is deeply connected to its surroundings," he said.

"Inspired by the coastline itself, the architecture has been shaped around space, privacy and resort-style living, creating a collection of homes that reflects the next generation of luxury on the southern Gold Coast."

MOTIV Managing Director Carly Cottam, who has been appointed to market the project, said buyer attention had continued to move south along the Gold Coast.

"Purchasers who may once have defaulted to Broadbeach, Main Beach or Surfers Paradise are increasingly recognising the value of a genuine beachfront location that offers lower density, strong amenity and a more established sense of community," Cottam said.

"Kirra has a powerful combination of growing demand and genuine scarcity. Beachfront supply is inherently constrained, the area remains relatively low density, and buyers are increasingly placing a premium on locations that feel established, uncrowded and authentic rather than heavily developed."

Cottam said the proximity to Gold Coast Airport was also proving increasingly important for interstate and second-home buyers.

"Being minutes from Gold Coast Airport makes it particularly compelling for interstate buyers, frequent travellers and second-home purchasers who can access an authentic coastal lifestyle almost immediately after stepping off a flight."

The acquisition takes MAYD's active development portfolio to more than $500 million, with the North Kirra project representing one of its largest undertakings to date.

MAYD is targeting an early 2027 launch.

First look at MAYD's North Kirra mixed-use precinct

<main data-perf-region="main">
Castle Hill, the longtime hub of the Hills District, has been one of the major beneficiaries of Sydney's Metro expansion, with improved connectivity helping drive continued population growth, development and buyer demand across the Hills District.

But despite that growth, the suburb has seen relatively few major new apartment projects brought to market over the past 18 months.

Hills District developer Reve Group is looking to fill that gap with <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/nova-r-ve-castle-hill-2-garthowen-crescent-castle-hill-nsw-2154">Nova Rêve</a>, a major new mixed-use precinct on the corner of Garthowen Crescent and Old Castle Hill Road, a short walk from Castle Hill Metro Station and Castle Towers.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=152737 project_image_fid=377679]

The project will comprise three residential towers alongside a hotel, restaurants, cafes and a skybar, more than 1,600 sqm of ground-floor retail and almost an acre of landscaped gardens.

It represents the largest project undertaken by Reve Group, the development arm of the Kassis family, which has been building across the Hills District for more than 30 years through Kassis Homes.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=152737 project_image_fid=377675]

Nova Rêve also represents a significant step up from the family's first apartment development, Grand Rêve, which was delivered nearby on Garthowen Crescent.

Grand Rêve introduced larger, house-like apartment layouts and premium inclusions including Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances to the Castle Hill market.

Nova Rêve takes that approach to a precinct scale, combining the residential component with hospitality, retail and substantial public and resident landscaping.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=152737 project_image_fid=377685]

Reve Group Managing Director Sam Kassis said the project reflected the family's three decades of building in the Hills, which has evolved from trophy homes on quarter-acre blocks to larger-scale apartment development.

"Grand Rêve was our first apartment project here and it showed us what this pocket of Castle Hill could be. Nova Rêve is the refinement of that idea: not just apartments, but a place the whole suburb can use," Kassis said.

A key part of that approach is the hotel, which has been designed to operate as an amenity for the wider Castle Hill community rather than solely hotel guests.

It will include restaurants, cafes, skybars and all-day dining, alongside conference and event facilities catering to business functions, community groups and private events.

At ground level, more than 1,600 sqm of shops and cafes will open onto the surrounding streets and landscaped areas.

Almost an acre of gardens designed by Land and Form Studios will run through the precinct, incorporating pathways, seating, barbecue areas and children's play spaces.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=152737 project_image_fid=377680]

Reve Group's Romio Georges said creating an active ground plane had been central to the planning of Nova Rêve.

"There are gardens with pathways, barbecues, seating and play areas, shops and cafes opening onto the street, and a hotel with restaurants and a skybar that anyone in Castle Hill can walk into," Georges said.

The project's elevated position on one of Sydney's highest ridgelines will also provide apartments with outlooks toward the Sydney skyline, surrounding parkland and the Blue Mountains.

More than 80 per cent of the apartments will occupy corner positions, with Turner responsible for both the architecture and interiors.

The former Socceroo and Brisbane Roar soccer player Brett Holman and his wife Femke have flipped their Peregian Beach holiday home.
It looked set the couple were going to move to the Sunshine Coast property, listing their Brisbane base shortly after the purchase two years ago.
But a sale never eventuated in New Farm, so they have decided to sell the holiday property, recently securing a buyer at $2.55 million, well up on the $1.95 million they paid off-market two years ago when the home was brand new.
The Tim Ditchfield-designed home with panoramic views of the ocean has four bedrooms and three bathrooms. There's a master suite with its own walk in wardrobe, designer ensuite and covered balcony.
<img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/c_scale,w_580,q_auto:good/https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/po.images/2020/NOV/26/Holman%203.jpg" alt="">
Two others bedrooms are located in their own wing, and the fourth is on the lower level, a self-contained studio with its own kitchenette and bathroom beside the two car garage.
Beneath in the basement is a private media room with polished concrete floors.
The lounge room features a Lopi fireplace and meets the brand new kitchen with an elongated concrete island bench. Flanking the open plan living and dining space are covered alfresco decks and outdoor entertaining spaces, one meeting the swimming pool.
<img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/c_scale,w_580,q_auto:good/https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/po.images/2020/NOV/26/Holman%202.jpg" alt="">
Holman, who runs a small football academy in the Sunshine Coast, and Femke are based in a five bedroom home in New Farm, which they bought for $2.43 million in 2016 when returning to Australia after spending 14 years playing soccer across Europe and Asia.
Born in Bankstown, Holman started his soccer career at Parramatta Power in the NSL before joining Dutch club Feyenoord in 2002.
Holman left Holland in 2012 to join Aston Villa in the English Premier League for a season then went on to play in Dubai and Abu Dhabi.
Holman has represented the Socceroos 63 times, scoring nine goals.

Having returned to his native Victoria to play with St Kilda, the former Adelaide Crow Brad Crouch is selling his renovated Kidman Park home.
Crouch, who won the best and fairest award for the Crows in 2019, has renovated the Sydney Avenue home over the last four years.
He and his brother paid $552,000 for the four bedroom home on 730 sqm in 2016, when Crouch was half way through his seven year stint at the Crows having been picked up in the 2011 mini-draft.
They've renovated the back rooms, replacing the floor, and added a brand new kitchen and bathroom.
<img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/c_scale,w_580,q_auto:good/https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/po.images/2020/NOV/23/Crouch%203.jpg" alt="">
Ray White Henley Beach Principal Anthony Fahey and Samuel Parsons are marketing the home for a November 28 auction.
Fahey said the home was a great starter or an ideal investment.
Crouch, who won the best and fairest award for the Crows in 2019, has renovated the Sydney Avenue home over the last five years.
“I bought the home back in 2015 and have lived there for the last two-and-a-half years and it has provided my partner and I with some really great times and memories,” Mr Crouch said.
“My brother and I were living together with our partners and we decided it was time to make the split and the timing was perfect as the lease was coming to an end on the house.
<img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/c_scale,w_580,q_auto:good/https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/po.images/2020/NOV/23/Crouch%202.jpg" alt="">
“It’s been such a great property for us and some of my best memories have been kicked back with a load of mates in the back rooms watching sport together.
 
“The home is actually ideal for a family though, because of the space, and for a developer who wants to take advantage of the large block size. “I originally planned on building a hammerhead development by keeping the original house and building a townhouse on the back – or you could just knock down and build your dream home.”

Taronga Zoo director Simon Duffy and husband Wally Murphy, head of service operations at Westpac, sold their Rozelle home for $2.5 million after it passed in at weekend auction.
The four-bedroom Hutcheson Street home attracted four bidders at its Belle auction.
Belle Balmain agent Monique Dower secured the sale.
The freestanding Victorian era cottage that features timber floors, high ceilings, wall panelling and plantation shutters came with a guide of $2.35 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/2020/NOV/23/Rozelle%202.jpg" alt="">
The buyers were a family from Annandale.
The vendors had extensively renovated the double-fronted Victorian cottage which is best remembered for its initial makeover by Patrick Thompson, the actor carpenter son of screen legend Jack Thompson, in the late 1990s.
The four-bedroom cottage now has a top floor parent ­retreat with walk in wardrobe, ensuite and decking with Anzac Bridge and city skyline views.

Moelis joint managing director Chris Wyke has spent a record $5.1 million on his weekender near Berry.
The UK-bon businessman has emerged as the buyer of Kerseydale in Broughton Vale, setting a record for the area.
The 4.2 hectare, 1920s farm had its homestead completely transformed in to a Hamptons-style homestead in 2012, before it was made the cover of Shoalhaven Amazing Homes Magazine.
<img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/c_scale,w_580,q_auto:good/https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/po.images/2020/12/WYKE%201.jpg" alt="">
Now a classic white weatherboard, the one level property wrapped in verandahs has five bedrooms, including a 35 sqm parents retreat with its own lounge, ensuite with spa and custom fitted dressing room. There’s a custom kitchen and oak home office, as well as a further four bedrooms.
In the grounds is a championship size clay tennis court, constructed by the same company used for the Sydney 2000 Olympic tennis courts at Homebush. It commended by tennis players Ken Rosewall and Evonne Goolagong Cawley. 
Accompanying the court is a tennis pavilion and function-style space configured to host over 70 guests with floor to ceiling glass doors and a Jarrah bar.
<img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/c_scale,w_580,q_auto:good/https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/po.images/2020/12/Wyke%203.jpg" alt="">
There’s a nine metre, solar-heated Quartzon negative edge pool with adjoining spa near the pavilion.
Away from the homestead is a number of equestrian facilities, including three stable blocks and tack room, as well as a dressage arena, upgraded and resurfaced in 2017 with Soiltex surface.
Wyke is based in Walmer House, the $7.2 million Wollstonecraft mansion bought under his wife, Tennis NSW director Anna’s name in 2015. 
Chris worked in investment banking for JP Morgan and UBS in London, Singapore and Sydney before joining Moelis in 2009. He was made joint chief executive officer earlier this year along side Julian Biggins, having been managing director for over a decade.

The Pyrmont apartment record has been reset with the sale of the penthouse in the award-winning Sydney Wharf, listed for the first time since its construction.
The Pirrama Road penthouse was bought off the plan for $6,986,000 in 2008, a year before the PTW Architects-designed, Charter Hall-developed and Brookfield Multiplex-built development was completed.
McGrath Pyrmont agent Robert Alfeldi had expectations of a sale around $20 million given its view of the western side of the city, across Darling Harbour towards the Barangaroo precinct.
<img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/c_scale,w_580,q_auto:good/https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/po.images/2020/12/Pyrmont%203.jpg" alt="">
The three bedroom apartment has 350 sqm of internal space, and a further 80 sqm of terraces. There's also a rooftop terrace with a plunge pool and garaging for three cars.
There's a mezzanine-level home office overlooking the living space.
<img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/c_scale,w_580,q_auto:good/https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/po.images/2020/12/Pyrmont%202.jpg" alt="">
The priciest apartment sale in Pyrmont comes from Sydney Wharf, when the former Ferrari boss Herbert Appleroth sold his spread for $13.3 million. 
He amalgamated two apartments after paying $6.9 million for both back in 2008.
Sydney Wharf held the record before that, set when Dr Ian Campbell sold his double apartment for $12 million in 2015.

Rugby league star Ryan James has sold his Gold Coast investment property ahead of his move to Canberra for the 2021 season.
The Gold Coast Titans captain bought the property just over a year and a half ago and planned to keep it as an investment but has since decided to sell.
It fetched $1.25 million.
The property attracted more than 250 enquiries and 10 virtual inspections on top of open homes during its two week marketing campaign.
Agent Kasey Pereira told The Gold Coast Bulletin he had received several interstate offers, but sold to a local Tugun investor looking to expand their portfolio.
James advised his upcoming move to Canberra to play with the Raiders was one of the reasons for selling, the other being the strong Gold Coast market.

Australian tennis champ and sports commentator Sam Groth has listed his Alphington home, seeking $1.3 - $1.4 million.
The two-storey weatherboard house he and his now-wife, Britt, bought in 2016 after deciding to quit the US circuit for a Melbourne base was, luckily enough, the first place they inspected.
At the time he bought the home for $250,000 more than the price guidance of $900,000 - $960,000, paying a premium $1.21 million.
They decided to sell their renovated four-bedroom, two-bathroom house at 56A Fulham Road to move closer to family in Templestowe as well as upsize.
Jellis Craig agent Greg Cusack says the property’s indoor/outdoor entertainment space and the Groths’ stylish upgrade are luring young families and professional couples to register for the twilight auction on October 28.
The Nine Entertainment broadcaster, whose world singles ranking reached No.53 in his professional playing days, says the 215-square-metre property with Edwardian-inspired gabled rooflines and timber detailing “was everything we wanted at the time."
The kitchen was renovated in 2018 by the couple, right around the time of their marriage.

The project is the brainchild of local tourism entrepreneur Sein Lowry and his interior stylist wife and creative director Taliah Lowry, where cottages have been used as holiday lets with net incomes exceeding $80,000 annually.
Cilauro’s two-bedroom home with a separate home office is set in lush tropical rainforest.
The open-plan living area opens to the courtyard with pool.
First ­National Byron Bay agents Su Reynolds and Luke Elwin sec­ured the sale, with CoreLogic indicating the contracts were formally exchanged in August.
