<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.

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 little used, dress circle Whale Beach weekender of businessman David Gonski has been listed for sale.
LJ Hooker Palm Beach listing agent David Edwards says it has some of the finest oceanfront views on the peninsula.
He has a $5.5 million to $5.9 million guide for the cliff-top Rayner Road home.
It last traded for $5.1 million in 2009 when bought from former Whale Beach surf lifesaving club president and Mallesons partner Tony Bancroft.
David Gonski has been a rare visitor, while retaining a retreat on the Gold Coast.
The home features open plan living zones which are connected to private outdoor decks.
There are three bedrooms, which each have water views, as well as a temperature controlled wine cellar.
The designer kitchen adjoins a sandstone terrace with built-in barbecue that overlooks the nine metre swimming pool.
It sits on 710 square metres of native landscaped gardens.
The home was bought in a company name directed by wife, Boston-born dermatologist Orli Wargon, and son Michael, a partner at law firm Herbert Smith Freehills.

Outgoing Sydney Swans chief executive Andrew Ireland and wife Kelly snappily sold Hurlstone, their Centennial Park home mid-week for $4.45 million.
There had been $4 million hopes for its scheduled late September auction.
Ireland doesn't need to be so close to the SCG HQ now he's retiring from the role after a decade at the end of this year.
The couple bought the 1910 Cook Road home, which has been re-designed by Pierre Della-Putta, for $1,745,000 in 2007.
The Brisbane bound couple retain a long-time Norman Park house, which cost $465,000 in 2005, and two years ago bought a three bedroom Teneriffe apartment just outside of Brisbane for $1,175,000.
He will remain a director on the board and has entered into a long-term consultancy arrangement with the club in business operations and list management.
Under his tenure, Ireland has been involved in five grand final appearances and two premierships.

The millionaire mining businessman Nick Curtis and his wife, Angela have emerged as the buyers of one of 'Aussie' John Symond's Elizabeth Bay investment apartments.
They paid $7.25 million for the Onslow Avenue apartment.
Symond had paid $6,125,000 for the three bedroom, three bathroom apartment in 2015, before it became a $3,900 a week rental to the Curtis clan.
With full-width waterfront balcony, it sits in the six level, nine apartment complex designed by PTW Architects' Andrew Andersons.
For a longtime the couple owned on Queen Street, Woollahra having bought in 2004 from the 2SM radio broadcaster John Laws and wife Caroline, and before that at Mosman and Castlecrag.

Karlie Verkerk, the Masterchef semi-finalist, and her childhood sweetheart Adam Frazer are selling their Art Deco Paddington apartment.
Despite her success on the ninth series of the popular Channel Ten show, Verkerk's future isn't leading to her becoming a chef.
The 26 year old, who describes her cooking as modern asian fusion, wants to be a food critic.
Verkerk has journalism experience, having studied journalism at Southern Cross University, and having edited at The Block magazine, Real Living magazine and Homes + Magazine.  
One of her other passions is interior design, which helped in the renovation of the couple's 1950s classic apartment.
Since their $670,000 purchase in 2015, the Gosbell Street apartment has been updated with fresh interiors, from white floorboards to a modernised kitchen.
The apartment with 57 sqm of indoor and outdoor space features its own rooftop terrace.
BresicWhitney Darlinghurst agents Nic Krasnostein and Emily Davidson initially had a guide of $750,000 for its September 8 auction, but that has increased to $775,000.
Last year a similar sized one bedder in the block fetched $780,000.
Verkerk was born in South Australia but moved to Sydney when she was young, living on the northern beaches.
She got her cooking skills from her father Dirk, who introduced her to spicy dishes as a child.

Verkerk and Frazer recently celebrated their 10 year anniversary.
During the filming of the show last year, Verkerk told the Daily Telegraph she was getting one-on-one mentoring from Masterchef judge Matt Preston on how to become a professional food reviewer.
'To have someone of his calibre offer his help is mind-blowing," Karlie said.
She worked closely with Preston on his latest cookbook, Yummy, Easy, Quick, which was released late last year.

The international award-winning filmmaker Alexandra Liveris has bought a Tamarama apartment.
It is the middle apartment in a boutique triplex designed by JPR Architects.
The three bedroom, three bathroom apartment was bought off the plan through 1st City Double Bay agents Julian Hasemer and Rod Fox.
Liveris is set to be sandwiched by renters as the apartment above was recently for rent at $3,000 a week, while the unit below was available at $3,600.
Alexandra's 2017 short film Eyes of Exodus won the Special Jury Award at the Thessaloniki Documentary Film Festival and the Audience Award at Aspen ShortsFest.
She most recently directed and was the cinematographer on seven documentaries for Google Labs that reached 18 million unique viewers. 
Alexandra, who studied documentary film and video at Stanford University, has previously worked with the NY-based Clinton Foundation and also on the now defunct Charlie Rose show. 
Alexandra's brother Nick has just moved back to Sydney, where he's spent $5.25 million in Rose Bay.
Their parents Andrew and wife Paula own an $8.5 million Point Piper duplex but have been based near his Dow chemical HQ in Michigan.
Andrew Liveris was a Donald Trump appointee and had previously worked on an advisory panel for Barack Obama.

Catering queen Simmone Logue has bought a Bellevue Hill bolthole as she adjusts to life without her long-time partner, celebrity agent Harry M Miller.
She has spent $1.4 million on an apartment on Bellevue Hill's dress circle Cranbrook Road.
It is in a boutique Art Deco block of just six.
The three bedroom classic unit comes with period details and high ceilings throughout.
There's also a sun room. 
Raine &amp; Horne Double Bay agents Ric Serrao and Patrick Cosgrove sold the apartment.
<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/2018/8/24/BELLEVUE%20HILL%202.jpg" alt="">
Logue has been renting nearby.
Miller, who died in July, retained his beachside retreat at Wombarra, north of Wollongong. It was in 2004 when he paid $2,225,000 for timber house on 1,045 sqm.
The two storey house was part of a 1920s South Coast subdivision where the ragged ranges meet the Pacific Ocean, hidden in well-established bushland.
The house was hot by a flood last year and has only just become habitable again.
Logue was recently down at the Wombarra retreat with her family, as well as Miller's daughter Justine. 
She posted a picture on Instagram of the fireplace and the sea with the caption "Missing my Harry."
Miller sold his Manar, Potts Point apartment for $2.75 million in 2009 and before that had an 41st apartment in Horizon in Darlinghurst, where they had resided.
Before the Wombarra purchase, Miller had Eagle View, a 20 hectare Foxground weekender which was sold in 2005 for $2,625,000 featuring a 300 square Ray Siede-designed homestead.
His longtime home was a Woolloomooloo warehouse with four bedrooms, guest accommodation, internal lift that whisks visitors from the Park Avenue-style foyer to the two floors above, plus parking for five, polo practice pit and French-walled garden.
The warehouse had been bought in 1979, when warehouse living was in its pioneering days, for $122,000, selling it for $2.55 million in 1999 to music man Michael Gudinski.
The 790 square metre space was once described by international architecture photographer Tim Street-Porter as a contemporary palazzo set into the busy urban landscape of Woolloomooloo.
Logue's own long-time family retreat has Essington Park, a country homestead near Oberon in the NSW Central Tablelands region.
It was where Miller kept his horses.
Logue started her own cake business in 1990 after moving to Sydney having grown up in the Hunter Valley.
She set up a shop in Balmain and branched out into ready to eat meals and catering.
Logue now has a team of 80 staff and two cafes. In 2016 she released a cookbook, In The Kitchen, which became a best-seller.

John Zeigler, the retired Asia Pacific chairman of the ad agency DDB, and wife Lisa are selling Palmilla, their luxury Toorak home.
The Heyington Place home was commissioned in the 1930s by the establishment Shelmerdine family.
The Zeiglers have undertaken the home's transformation over their near 16 year ownership. They paid $3.4 million back in 2002.
All furnishings and finishes have been exclusively designed or sourced, from the French Oak and travertine flooring to the bespoke wrought iron and glass internal doors.
<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/2018/9/7/heyington3.jpg" alt="">
The six bedroom, five bathroom home sits in private 2,285 square metres of established gardens with a gas heated swimming pool and a tennis court.
The family room features a fireplace wrapped in floor to ceiling sandstone and banks of glass, taking in the garden views.
The basement garaging for over 10 cars doubles up as another entertainment space with a bar.
Kay &amp; Burton South Yarra agent Michael Gibson has a $27 million to $29.5 million guide. 
Zeigler stepped down from DDB in 2015 after spending nearly three decades with the agency.

Palmilla, the luxury Toorak home of the retired APAC chairman of ad agency DDB John Ziegler and wife Lisa, has sold. 
There's been no price reveal but it's suggested it fell just short of the recent price hopes of $23 million plus.
The Heyington Place home (above and below), commissioned in the 1930s by the Shelmerdine family, had been initially offered in spring last year with a guide of $27 million to $29.5 million.

The basement garaging for over 10 cars doubles up as entertainment space with a bar.
Carmyle, the grand Toorak trophy home that was among the earliest in the suburb, has also been sold, believed to be for around $13.5 million.
