<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.

Brenton Smith, director at Sydney architecture firm Bates Smart, is set to flip his Woollahra apartment after its designer makeover.
<a href="https://bencollierteam.com.au/property/6-313a-edgecliff-road-woollahra/" target="_blank">The apartment</a> in the 1930s Art Deco building, Gainsborough cost Smith $2,325,000 two years ago, following the sale of his 1890s Paddington terrace which fetched exactly the same price.
The Gainsborough apartment purchase ranks as the priciest sale in the Edgecliff Road block. There have been no recent sales in the boutique block of eight.
Smith has installed European oak timber floor throughout the contemporary styled apartment which has over 160 square metres of living space.
It has three bedrooms, two bathrooms and a covered balcony with northerly views.
Ben Collier at The Agency is handling the marketing campaign.
Smith became a director at Bates Smart in 2017, having joined the company in 2010 as an associate director.
He has focused on a range of project in commercial office, multi residential and hotel and hospitality.
Smith's latest work was in Double Bay where he was the lead designer of 1788, the luxury $100 million SJD project.
The five level Cross Street block was launched last year, with two sales breaking the Double Bay apartment record.
First the 180 sqm penthouse sold for $10.5 million, presenting over $58,000 per square metre, before the near 300 square metre penthouse, an amalgamation on two apartments, sold for $13.75 million.  
Craig Pontey at Ray White Double Bay has the remaining apartments for sale inconjuncyion with Ray White Projects NSW director Eddie Mansour.
There’s 18 of the 29 apartments remaining for sale with prices for the one bedroom offerings starting at $1.69 million.
The two bedders are prices from $3.5 million and the remaining three bedders from $5.2 million. Early works have commenced with completion expected early 2020.

The Bulwark is one of Castlecrag's premier addresses and is where some of the finest examples of architecture from the late Bill Lucas are located.Bill Lucas are located.
Lucas built his family home with architect wife Ruth Harvey on the bushland street in 1957.
Dubbed The Glass House, constructed out of steel and glass, the four bedroom home was the first Lucas built on The Bulwark.
It last traded for $560,000 in 1998.
A decade later he would put his name to the two neighbouring homes.
Two years ago one of the homes sold for $2,055,000, and now the home next door is up for sale.
The <a href="https://www.realestate.com.au/property-house-nsw-castlecrag-128323794" target="_blank">four bedroom family home</a> retains its Mid-century modernism, with split levels, white painted ceilings, open treat stairs, slate floors and a fish tank.
<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/2018/5/28/CRAG2.jpg" alt="">
It spans three storeys with six different levels and integrates sandstone boulders that form part of the walls in the lower levels.
Entry to the home below street level is through a semi-tropical landscaped garden, with a curved path leading to a bridge across to the front door. The 740 sqm parcel of native bush leads down to Sailors Bay.
A number of outdoor decks and balconies overlook Castle Haven Reserve.  
Modern House agent Marcus Lloyd-Jones has the listing.

In his early days, Lucas designed Moonbah Ski Lodge in Thredbo.
He was a part-time lecturer at the School of Architecture of the UNSW for a decade.
He and Harvey headed up the Paddington Society, which prevented the inner city suburb from comprehensive redevelopment and keep its charm and grandeur.
Worked on an off with Cracknell &amp; Lonergan Architects.

The Crone architectural firm recently completed a striking new Melbourne headquarters for the Australian Nursing &amp; Midwifery Federation (ANMF). 
Located between the CBD and major universities, the 10-storey building at 535 Elizabeth Street is a contemporary addition to Melbourne’s educational precinct, designed to house the member-based organisation that represents nurses, midwives and carers and provides access to industrial, professional and legal representation, education and training facilities. 
Kieran Gleeson, Crone director and Melbourne principal said in a nod to Melbourne’s laneway culture, Crone created an internal ‘street’ through the building to provide a pedestrian thoroughfare between Elizabeth and O’Connell Streets.
The podium facade then wraps around into this internal laneway, continuing the external materiality indoors and blurring the lines between internal and external streetscapes. 
The interior is divided into three distinct areas – conference, education and workplace – with spaces designed to be flexible, changing from social spaces into informal teaching spaces with operable walls and divisible boardrooms.
At the centre of the building is a four-storey void with a dramatic staircase providing a sculptural link from the ground up through to the education levels. 
On ground level, there is a dramatic 400-seat auditorium is highly visible to visitors as they enter the building, featuring faceted timber walls and ceiling that draws the eye towards the central retractable screen and stage while providing a high level of acoustic performance. 
Lisa Fitzpatrick, ANMF (Victorian Branch) secretary, said there were more than 80,000 ANMF members.

A Tamworth property created by Sydney architects Tanner Kibble Denton has won the World Architecture News Commercial Architecture Award 2017.
The building, Glasshouse at Goonoo Goonoo Station, was honoured in London recently with the project design director John Rose present to receive the award. 
“This is a very proud moment. We have a dynamic young team based in Sydney and this award shows the world what they are capable of," Rose said.
"A juror said that our project was a ‘stand-out’; this is an incredible endorsement amongst such an impressive line-up of international projects."
The Glasshouse is a state of the art restaurant and function centre with a contemporary dining experience with expansive views of the surrounding hills.
<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/2018/3/14/glasshouse2.jpg" alt="">
It sits between two original agricultural structures, the 1870s Woolstore and a 1950s Shearing Shed.
The restaurants offers a strong visual connection with the Woolstore, with the rusticity of the sheep ramp and shearing shed. 
“The design responds to the materiality of country- steel, stone and timber," Rose said.
"It complements the solid enclosure that is the Woolstore and the mechanism that is the Shearing Shed.
"The outcome is an elegant and simple building, occupying the space between the historic elements that animates the entire precinct when in use."
Goonoo Goonoo Station was first established in 1841.
Glasshouse also won the Sir Arthur G Stephenson Award at the Australian Institute of Architects NSW.

Architecture firm HDR Rice Daubney has dropped "Rice Daubney'' from its name, a plan in the works since co-founder John Daubney’s retirement last year.
The firm, which Sunshine Coast hospital, was acquired by US giant HDR in 2013 in a deal that was expected to give healthcare and defence-facility specialist HDR a toehold into the Australian market.
Stephen Auld was announced as the new managing director earlier this year, as part of the leadership transition, after John Daubney stepped down.  
Auld said the name change took the geography out of the equation, reported The Australian Financial Review.
"We're part of a global business. It allows our team to work internationally with a lot more ease. It's a very well-known brand,” he said.
The increasing use of technology has impressed upon the need for firms to have links with larger practices to spread the cost of research and development, Auld was cited as saying by the AFR.
"The access we have now within HDR to things like computational design, data analytics and data-driven design is just unbelievable," he said. "That gives us a competitive advantage and enables us to bring to our clients huge opportunities that we wouldn't have been able to before."
Omaha, Nebraska-based HDR, which also offers engineering services, ranked fifth in the latest WA100 global ranking of architecture firms, with 1072 architect employees, the AFR said. 
It was founded by H.H. Henningson as Henningson Engineering Company in Nebraska in 1917.
The architecture and design world has seen a wave of consolidation, with firms such as PTW and Rice Daubney being bought by larger foreign players. 
In April, design firm Suters was acquired by Bangkok-based DWP and took on the branding and identity of its new south-east Asian parent. 
In February, Sydney and Melbourne-based architecture firm Billard Leece Partnership acquired interior design firm THID. 
Omaha, Nebraska-based HDR, which also offers engineering services, ranked fifth in the latest WA100 global ranking of architecture firms, with 1072 architect employees.  
The local arm of the business that turned 40 last year specialises in health, which last year accounted for about 40 per cent of revenue – which Auld declined to disclose – retail (30 per cent) and defence and education, science and technology design (about 15 per cent each). 
HDR Rice Daubney is currently project architect for the NSW government on the $900 million Westmead Hospital redevelopment project.
Property Observer reported sometime back that HDR Rice Daubney designed the buildings at Royal Shores, a $450 million estate being developed by PAYCE and Sekisui House on a portion of the former Defence Housing Australia (DHA) site at Ermington.
It designed the buildings with pitched sawtooth roofs and white-painted brick facades, drawing on the site’s rich maritime history.

Jill Garner has been appointed as Victoria's new government architect, set to have a major role in assessing major development and infrastructure projects across Victoria. 
Ms Garner, the associate Victorian Government architect since 2010, replaces Geoffrey London, who stepped down last year after two three-year terms.
Prior to working for the state government, Ms Garner was at an architecture firm she co-founded, <a href="https://garnerdavis.com.au/" target="_blank">Garner Davis Architects</a>.
She has also taught design, architectural history and contemporary theory at Melbourne University and RMIT. 
Garner Davis Architects is a St Kilda based architecture studio, established by Jill Garner and Lindsay Davis in 1990.
"I am also happy to announce today that the Office of the Victorian Government Architect's Design Review Panel will be given a stronger role in the development of our city, and will be charged with independently assessing new significant development applications in the central city," the Planning Minister Richard Wynne said.
"Their assessment will be made publicly available."
