Brisbane-based developer <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/red-co">Red &amp; Co</a> has made a striking debut on the Gold Coast, officially unveiling its $250 million COMO development in Varsity Lakes, a lifestyle-driven residential project anchored by an extensive rooftop wellness and activity precinct.

Having recently launched to market, construction has already been fast-tracked by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/builders/5point-projects">5Point Projects</a>, ensuring momentum continues on what is set to become a landmark residential address for the growing Varsity Lakes community.

Located at 22 Lake Street, Varsity Lakes, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/como-varsity-lakes-22-lake-street-varsity-lakes-qld-4227">COMO</a> will comprise 156 apartments across 16 levels, comprising one-, two- and three-bedroom residences designed for modern living. However, it is the project’s rooftop amenity offering that sets COMO apart.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=135546 project_image_fid=363510]

Designed as a dedicated wellness and recreation hub, the rooftop will feature a 25-metre lap pool, fully equipped gymnasium, and multiple pickleball and paddleball courts - amenities rarely seen in boutique apartment projects.

Residents will also have access to a sauna and plunge baths, while landscaped gardens and relaxation zones will provide tranquil spaces overlooking sweeping panoramic views across the Gold Coast skyline.

The rooftop precinct has been designed to function as the social and wellness heart of the development, encouraging residents to embrace an active, balanced lifestyle within their own building.

&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=135546 project_image_fid=363512]

Red &amp; Co director David Laverty said the amenity offering was central to the project’s design from the outset.

“Amenities were at the forefront of our decisions,” Laverty said.

“Buyers today are looking for more than just an apartment - they want a lifestyle that promotes health, connection and balance.

“The rooftop at COMO has been designed to be the epicentre of that lifestyle, with a suite of wellness and recreation facilities that are quite unique for a boutique development of this scale.”

&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=135546 project_image_fid=363514]

Designed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/bda-architecture">BDA Architecture</a>, the residences prioritise liveability, featuring spacious layouts, 2.7-metre ceilings and high-quality finishes throughout.

The development sits beside Bond University, placing residents within walking distance of education, retail and dining options within the vibrant Varsity Lakes precinct, including Robina Town Centre, Varsity Lakes Train Station and a range of leading schools.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=135546 project_image_fid=363511]

Laverty said the location was a key driver behind Red &amp; Co’s decision to bring the project to the Gold Coast.

“<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/varsity-lakes-qld-4227">Varsity Lakes</a> was a clear choice for us to invest in as it’s a lifestyle hub that seamlessly blends lakeside living with urbanity,” he said.&nbsp;

“Como will capitalize on this great location, delivering a project that not only creates premium homes, but a lifestyle defined by community, wellbeing, and connectivity.”

Red &amp; Co has delivered more than 500 apartments and townhouses across 26 projects in Brisbane in recent years, with COMO marking the company’s first major Gold Coast development.

Gold Coast developer&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/big-projects">Big Projects</a> has secured approval for its second Mermaid Beach project.

The developer, currently selling <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/the-frederick-mermaid-beach-2265-gold-coast-highway-mermaid-beach-qld-4218">The Frederick in Nobby Beach</a>, has secured approval for its next project just 1.5 kilomnetres up the road.

The new development, dubbed&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/glenelg-residences-2462-2472-gold-coast-highway-mermaid-beach-qld-4218">Glenelg Residences</a>, has been designed by BDA Architecture and&nbsp;will have just under 100 apartments across an 11-storey building&nbsp;at 2462–2472 Gold Coast Highway, on the corner of Glenelg Avenue just under 300m from the future Mermaid Beach Light Rail stop.

The apartments, a mix of two- and three-bedrooms, will sit above a retail-focused ground plane and under extensive rooftop resident amenities.

<img alt="Exclusive: Big Projects plot Mermaid Beach apartment development, Glenelg Residences" data-entity-type="" data-entity-uuid="" src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/f_auto,c_limit,w_1440,q_75/https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/field/image/Screen%20Shot%202024-06-11%20at%209.55.04%20am.png?VersionId=z6NV4izeuvhBSSVlY6vK6TPO1LxrFeaG" />

BDA said in its planning submission that the project is intended to support the area’s transition toward higher-density, mixed-use living. “This project offers the opportunity to generate appropriate higher-intensity development within the future Light Rail corridor of <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/mermaid-beach-qld-4218">Mermaid Beach</a>,” the submission noted.

At ground level, Glenelg Residences will include eight retail tenancies designed to activate the street frontage, complemented by a basement bar offering an additional hospitality element. Above, residents will have access to a rooftop amenity deck featuring an infinity pool, hot and cold plunge spas, day beds, and barbecue facilities.

The architectural approach adopts a restrained material palette of brick, textured concrete, and integrated landscaping, with cantilevered concrete frames and cascading planting intended to soften the built form. BDA described the design as aiming to create “a memorable sculptural mid-rise mixed-use building” that responds to both its coastal setting and urban context.

Big Projects secures approval for Glenelg Residences in Mermaid Beach

Sherpa Group is ramping up its investment in the southern Gold Coast by lodging a development application for <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/flourish-viver-87-griffith-street-coolangatta-qld-4225">Flourish Viveré</a>, a new $350 million project in Coolangatta.

The move comes after the group’s $27 million acquisition of the 2,029 sqm site on the corner of Griffith and Warner Street, last year.

They will develop 194 apartments across a 26-storey tower, which will become Sherpa’s largest project to date.

Viveré will be the next chapter in the Flourish story, following closely behind Amargo, Oasis, and the Avenues in Palm Beach, as well as Symphony in Brisbane, all designed to deliver affordable housing in lifestyle-rich locations, giving locals a real chance to secure a residence close to the beachfront.

The HAL Architect-designed project will offer a diverse range of residences, from one-, two, and three- bedroom apartments to the premium Canopy range to luxury penthouses.

<img alt="Vivere" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="c85f5a7e-a22f-4745-8def-400adb3c0b35" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-04-15%20at%209.53.43%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=OY.chur3BPExn1exQ2q8clHqWnW_CaBi" />

“The Gold Coast is undergoing a period of immense growth, with more people drawn to the incredible 
lifestyle that’s available, leading to strong growth in property prices,” said Christie Leet, founder of Sherpa 
Group.

“Our goal at Sherpa is to ensure locals are not priced out of the market in prime locations, which is why we 
created the Flourish collection.

“Flourish Vivere will form the next chapter in our portfolio, and we are so excited to be lodging the DA, marking our first project in Coolangatta.”

A signature of the Flourish developments is the communal rooftop. Flourish Vivere will showcase a private resident’s lounge, outdoor dining with barbecues and pizza ovens, heated pool, fully-equipped gym, and a wellness centre with sauna and steam room.

<img alt="Vivere" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="c09372cc-aae6-4458-af2e-f291bd19a5e5" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-04-15%20at%209.53.49%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=Sc_RLXl5jiff.tnadogXjQJ_WIpDjf3p" />

The project is strategically located to offer a walkable lifestyle, with the Strand shopping centre, cafes, restaurants, shops and the beach, all just a short stroll away.

“We have meticulously planned Vivere to build on the Flourish legacy, creating a truly special project,”&nbsp;Leet added.

“Wellness, lifestyle and community are at the forefront of every decision we make, and that has not 
changed for Vivere.”

With the DA now lodged with the Gold Coast City Council, Sherpa has moved quickly to secure LPS Group as the builder, offering buyers a level of certainty that is rarely seen in today’s market.

Sherpa has delivered 16 residential projects over the past seven years with a pipeline of $1 billion, with more under construction.

S&amp;S Projects is boosting its investment at Rainbow Bay to more than $1 billion after the prolific Gold Coast developer acquired a new site for $20.25 million and immediately laid plans for a new luxury apartment project in the sought-after precinct.

The site, which is the company’s fifth acquisition at Rainbow Bay in the past four years, will be home to the company’s largest project to date after delivering 3 sold-out projects and construction progresses on Radia worth a combined $215m. 
S&amp;S Projects is currently finalising plans for its latest strategic acquisition, a 1,518 sqm site located 209-213 Boundary Street in Coolangatta, with a development application expected to be lodged within weeks.

The luxury residential development will build on the company’s highly successful projects at Rainbow Bay, comprising Flow, Awaken, Esprit and Radia, with Radia currently under construction by Hutchinson Builders.

“We have been unflinching in our commitment to Rainbow Bay and the transformation we have helped drive in this incredible part of the Gold Coast, which is among the city’s most desirable residential locations,” said S&amp;S Projects founder and director Paul Gedoun.

“Our fifth project will reflect the best of what we have done so far to create a lifestyle precinct that is second to none.”

The latest development, which has yet to be named, is proposed to accommodate 88 luxury apartments in a design that will immerse residents in a unique wellness lifestyle that expands on the legacy of S&amp;S Project’s earlier developments at Rainbow Bay.

The development will feature an expansive rooftop garden and wellness centre with a resort- style pool, among a host of lifestyle amenities planned for residents.

“Rainbow Bay, with its beautiful, protected beach and alongside one of the world’s best surf breaks at Snapper Rocks, is the natural wellness heartland of the Gold Coast,” said Gedoun.

“We are taking every advantage to create a truly unique rooftop wellness experience with a natural feel for residents, offering stone features throughout and an underlying theme that emulates a botanical garden.”

The latest acquisition comes as S&amp;S Projects is at the completion of Esprit and construction continues on Radia, which are part of their significant portfolio undertaken by the company at Rainbow Bay since 2022.

The $215 million Radia, which comprises 38 apartments, is currently the flagship development by S&amp;S Projects at Rainbow Bay which is expected to be completed in 2027.

Jayde Pezet, of Pezet Matheson, which has managed sales and marketing for S&amp;S Projects across their Gold Coast portfolio, emphasised the developer’s commitment to continuous improvement and excellence.

“S&amp;S Projects continue to elevate the benchmark of luxury with each development," Pezet said.

“We have worked with S&amp;amp;S on their 4 other projects in Rainbow Bay and their approach reflects a team that is constantly learning, refining, and pushing the standard higher.

“Their hyper-local knowledge and deep expertise within the luxury property sector are what truly set them apart, allowing them to deliver projects that feel both globally sophisticated and authentically connected to their coastal environment”

S&amp;S Projects plans to officially launch its latest project at Rainbow Bay in the second half of this year.

“As we embark on our largest project yet, we have pulled out all stops to create another landmark development that truly reflects the relaxed southern Gold Coast lifestyle,” Gedoun added.

Japandi, an emerging design trend that combines Scandinavian functionality with Japanese rustic minimalism, remains relatively untested in Australia’s residential development market.

As developers look to differentiate their projects and offer something distinct to buyers, Brisbane-based developer Lantona has embraced the hybrid style for its recently launched Toowong apartment project, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/koya-residences-6-josling-street-toowong-qld-4066">Koya Residences</a>, with early response to the design proving positive.

Lantona entrusted Red Door Architecture and interiors practice Luma Design Co with delivering the Japandi brief. The approach blends Japanese minimalism with Scandinavian functionality, emphasising warm, restrained interiors, natural materials and clean lines. Drawing on the Japanese concept of wabi-sabi (beauty in imperfection) and the Scandinavian principle of hygge (comfort and cosiness), it creates serene, uncluttered and sustainable living environments.

These design principles are expressed throughout the Josling Street development, both in its exterior form and across the 40 one-, two- and three-bedroom residences within.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=150787 project_image_fid=366229]

Koya reflects a deliberately scaled approach, with the five-storey form designed to align with the surrounding residential streetscape rather than dominate it.

“Koya is conceived as a building that sits comfortably within its surroundings. Every decision, from material selection to spatial planning, has been guided by long-term liveability and enduring relevance,” the developer said.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=150787 project_image_fid=366243]

Positioned within an established inner-west neighbourhood, the development sits near riverfront parklands and the Bicentennial Bikeway, while remaining within walking distance of Toowong Village and multiple public transport options connecting to the CBD, St Lucia and West End.

Lantona said the location was central to the project’s conception, pointing to Toowong’s balance of green space, transport access and proximity to major education institutions.

“<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/toowong-qld-4066">Toowong</a> combines river access, walkability, immediate CBD connection and a strong educational presence. That balance made it the obvious setting for Koya.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=150787 project_image_fid=366230]

Communal amenity is concentrated on the rooftop, where a shared retreat will include a pool, dining areas and outdoor spaces oriented towards neighbourhood and city views. The design allows for both private use and small gatherings, extending the living environment beyond individual apartments.

Koya enters the market at a time when smaller-scale developments are becoming less common in established suburbs, with many recent projects in the suburb shooting for the sky.

In a nod of confidence,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/builders/brisbane-builders">Brisbane Builders</a>&nbsp;has already commenced construction on the building, which is slated for completion in early 2027. Keenan &amp; Byrne is marketing Koya.

Sydney developer FYVE headlines over $70 million worth of development applications submitted to the Bayside Council in January.

The Bayside Local Strategic Planning Statement (LSPS) details that by 2036, the Bayside Council local government area will require an additional 28,000 dwellings to accommodate the LGA’s swelling population.

FYVE has&nbsp;lodged plans for an eight-level block at 5-11 Flora Street, Arncliffe, which will have 54 one, two and three-bedroom apartments.&nbsp;

There will be a number of communal spaces in the Benson McCormack Architecture-designed building, a central space on the ground floor, and one on the rooftop which will home outdoor seating and extensive landscaping.

<img alt="Image of the Flora St building" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="da11e260-75cb-49e6-8227-aadf1f27bd38" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202023-02-06%20at%205.15.13%20pm.png?VersionId=vsxSueM_2dRErtzWVu2D3edYIdbWzh4Q" /> 
Image of the proposed Flora Street site.

The Flora Street site is within proximity to a range of public open spaces, including Cahill Park and Discovery Point Park, which are just 700 metres away. Tempe Recreation reserve and Riverine Park are also within walking distance.&nbsp;

Across the road at 12-18 Flora Street, renowned architecture firm Rothelowman has designed another eight-level building, which will have 51 apartments (pictured main).

They designed the apartments to create&nbsp;seamless indoor/outdoor living, with expansive living spaces and open corner balconies.&nbsp;

<img alt="Artist's impression of 12-18 Flora Street" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="2ba659df-0f49-4c95-868a-31592af130af" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202023-02-06%20at%205.16.28%20pm.png?VersionId=htrUD64gv4EGygvWtbPiKYE3zat1n8nU" />

"The design of 12-18 Flora Crescent is founded in exploring opportunities to maximise the liveability for the residents and create a building that delivers a positive engagement to the public domain through a focus on a “generous eye for life","&nbsp;the design statement signed off by Rothelowman Principal Ben Pomroy noted.

"The prototypical envelope in the Wolli Creek/Arncliffe precinct delivers buildings that create an urban edge interface to the public domain, through tall street walls, and lack of depth to building facades.

"Whilst the landscape character of the new precinct re-establishes itself, this more intense urban environment creates a strong contrast to the existing one of houses and gardens.

"The humble bungalows of the surrounding area, created connectivity to the street through elements such as the porch. These spaces allow residents to sit comfortably within their own private domain, yet still engage with, and interact with the life happening on the street.

A further 47 apartments will rise from 15-17 Kyle Street in the nearby Arncliffe.

Sydney-based architecture group Chanine Design has designed the plans for the owner-occupier focused building, which is nearly 90 per cent two-bed apartments.

The existing building will be demolished to make way for the eight-storey building, which will also include two levels of basement car parking.

The amalgamated lot spans a total area of 1,468 sqm and is located within proximity to the Arncliffe shopping strip precinct, as well as being within walking distance to Arncliffe railway station. A regular bus service also runs along the Princess Highway, providing a number of transport options to the Sydney CBD.&nbsp;

Credit:&nbsp;Chanine Design.

A large common open space is proposed across the ground level, within the north-eastern corner of the site, in addition to a rooftop communal space.&nbsp;

Botany has a fresh development application for two residential buildings at&nbsp;2-4 Bay Street.

The low-rise buildings, four and five-levels, have been designed by&nbsp;BKA and will have just 22 apartments.

Building A will comprise eight three-bedroom apartments, while Building B will consist of four one-bedroom and 14 two-bedroom apartments.&nbsp;

<img alt="Botany" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="c83b6c42-1bd6-4774-b9ef-267e46b2f821" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202023-02-14%20at%2011.30.58%20am.png?VersionId=dErwDbkAXugghgeX6n8zg5VYzNrolv98" />

The $10 million project sees the buildings divided into two distinct volumes, connected via a highly landscaped walkway. The open lobbies allow for natural ventilation and filtered light, and also allow for a visual connection between the entry of both buildings.

“Divided into two modest building forms, the street facing front block has been defined by its green facade. As well as this, the top level has been further setback to reduce the appearance of the overall height and promotes an articulated 'sky scape'. These setbacks have been used for generous balcony spaces,” BKA noted in their design statement.&nbsp;

A communal open space is set to be located across the ground floor, spanning a total 347 sqm, while Building A will be crowned by a rooftop terrace.&nbsp;

The Bayside Local Strategic Planning Statement details that by 2036, the Bayside Council local government area will require an additional 28,000 dwellings to accommodate the LGA’s swelling population.

FYVE headline over $70 million of apartment developments lodged in January in Arncliffe and Botany

Sydney property developer Billbergia has launched Stage 1 of its $253 million mixed-use redevelopment, Arncliffe Central, representing the first master-planned community of this scale in the up-and-coming Arncliffe suburb.

Arncliffe, NSW mortgagee apartment listed

Construction at the apartment project, The Orchid at Arncliffe, has recommenced after non-bank lender Wingate secured funding to complete the development.
Construction was halted in August <a href="/news/william-odwyers-ralan-hits-voluntary-administration">after the Ralan Group collapsed</a> owing creditors $500 million.
The administrators Grant Thornton signalled $70 million to $80 million was needed to complete the project.
Almost two-thirds of the 318 apartments and 13 out of 36 commercial units at The Orchid were sold off-the-plan, according to Grant Thornton.
At the end of August, Ralan's secured lender Wingate appointed Deloitte as receivers and managers of the development having previously appointed Deloitte as receivers of six other Ralan companies that hold land and other assets tied to Ralan's now-scrapped Ruby and Sapphire high-rise development on the Gold Coast.
A spokeswoman for Wingate confirmed that construction recommenced at The Orchid in late August "with the current program tracking towards completion by mid-2020".
"The development is approximately 50 per cent complete," she said.
"Richard Crookes Constructions is continuing as the builder of the development with work on site progressing well with [on average] 165 workers on site each day in the past week," she said. "Details regarding the financing of the development are commercial in-confidence."
At the same time as construction restarted at The Orchid, Deloitte, as receivers, has appointed ResortBrokers to sell management rights to the only completed tower at Ralan's now mothballed four-tower Ruby Collection project on behalf of Wingate. The 30-level tower was completed last November and includes 230 apartments.

Colliers International are selling a newly rezoned, mixed-use development site in Arncliffe, for around $12 million. 
The site located at 96-102 Princes Highway, Arncliffe has been converted from industrial to high-rise residential.
It sits directly opposite the Arncliffe train station, with DA lodged for 83 residential units and ground floor commercial retail. 
The property sits within the NSW Department of Planning &amp; Environment's Bayside West Priority Precinct which was included in the Precinct Proposal and Draft Development Controls.
As a result the property has been earmarked for rezoning to Zone B4 Mixed Use with an increased FSR of 2.5:1 and an increased building height limit of 31 metres. 
The site currently has an existing factory with car rentals leasing on a short-term lease; at $165,000+ GST short term rental income. 
“This is an ideal opportunity for developers to acquire a development site with a quality existing building creating short term rental income whilst waiting for a pending DA approval from council,” said Trent Gallagher, National Director, Industrial at Colliers International, who is handling the sale of the asset. 
“There is the opportunity to increase the scheme to circa 100+ apartments following the DA existing approval by way of incorporating affordable housing into the development.” 
Located on a corner block, the property holds views to the Sydney CBD, Botany Bay and broader district and is a 200m walk to the Arncliffe town centre and shops. 
Expressions of interest for 96-102 Princes Highway, Arncliffe closes April 4 2019.
