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

The Eveleigh brings house-like apartments to Broadbeach

A long-stalled Campbelltown development site is back in play, with new plans for 139 apartments set to supersede a mixed-use scheme approved almost a decade ago but never built.

The new proposal for 28 Cordeaux Street would deliver 116 market and 23 affordable apartments in a part 14-storey building, bringing a substantial new project into a Campbelltown market where new apartment supply remains limited.

Plans have been filed over the 3,092 sqm corner site at Moore-Oxley Street, around 600 metres from Campbelltown Railway Station and the city-centre retail core.

The site already carries a mixed-use residential approval dating to 2016. Doroch Architects has now been engaged on a larger replacement scheme, which is progressing as a State Significant Development Application following a Housing Delivery Authority determination in August 2025.

The apartment mix comprises 39 one-bedroom, 72 two-bedroom and 28 three-bedroom residences. Two-bedroom apartments make up just over half of the project, while three-bedroom homes account for 20 per cent.

<img alt="First look: New 139-apartment plans revive long-stalled Campbelltown city centre site" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="136dd5b9-3791-4da6-9e31-76f533f5b4de" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Campbelltown%20da2.png?VersionId=LgOSy9nwf5u.MGswBBwaGGxuX8QpHSl_" />

Of the 139 apartments, 23 will be delivered as affordable housing under the in-fill affordable housing provisions of the Housing SEPP. The affordable component represents 15 per cent of the residential gross floor area and will be managed by a registered Community Housing Provider.

Doroch has sought to break the scale of the building into two distinct elements, with a masonry podium of around four storeys establishing the street edge before the residential tower steps back above.

The corner position has shaped that approach. Cordeaux Street faces toward the commercial and civic centre, while Moore-Oxley Street leads into the lower-scale residential neighbourhood to the south, and the design verification report describes the site as "bridging the commercial core to the north and established residential areas to the south."

The podium will be expressed predominantly in face brick, while the upper levels shift to brushed and grooved concrete cladding with darker metal detailing. Recessed sections, deep balcony edges and landscaping break down the upper form, with an approximately 11.8-metre setback to the northern boundary addressing the adjoining St Peters Anglican School.

<img alt="First look: New 139-apartment plans revive long-stalled Campbelltown city centre site" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="c8b3d2d3-c561-4bfc-a5d9-a68c0c10dac1" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Campbelltown%20da1.png?VersionId=AeAEyJU02Gk2k5noUj2StziCvdQ7fW4B" />

Campbelltown has been starved of new residential developments in the last decade.

The only other notable development set to come to market this year is ALAND's Queen Square, a mixed-use precinct on over two hectares that will comprise apartments above a vibrant ground-level retail and hospitality dining precinct.

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.

Nova Rêve arrives as Reve Group bets on Castle Hill's next growth phase

Byron Bay

<html><body>
Byron Bay continues to perform well on the back of improving tourist numbers, the relatively compact nature of the CBD and the lack of any large shopping centre facilities, according to the latest Herron Todd White (HTW) commercial report.
The valuation firm took a look at the changing face of the retail sector across the nation in the report. 
"Construction of the new centre at Byron Plaza South is likely to create an additional supply, however the traditional CBD’s proximity to the beach is likely to maintain its strength," the valuer suggested. 
Alternative styles of accommodation for retail uses are being utilised within the industrial area, located approximately three kilometres to the west of the CBD, which are a reflection of affordability and the marrying of unapproved/illegal residential and retail components.
A current listing is a 87 square metre retail space priced at $190,000 (pictured above).
The shop situated at<a href="https://www.realcommercial.com.au/property-retail-nsw-byron+bay-502944882" target="_blank"> 1-3/52 Jonson Street </a>features large shopfront window displays, track lighting throughout and exposure with a constant stream of passing foot traffic. 
<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/2018/10/2/byron%20bay%202.jpg" alt="">
Another 90 square metre retail space located in the Byron Bay Industrial Estate has been listed for lease with the price of $620 per week (pictured above).
Located at <a href="https://www.realcommercial.com.au/property-retail-nsw-byron+bay-502961282" target="_blank">2/1 Banksia Drive</a>, the property consists of lower level open plan with amenities, small storage room, and a good size mezzanine area upstairs with kitchenette and oven.

Byron Bay retail market continues strong performance: HTW

<html><body>
Melbourne-based former Swisse Vitamins owner Stephen Ring has bought the Byron Bay holding of art collector and onetime Skilled Engineering group boss Greg Hargrave.
Hargrave, who is also based in Melbourne, paid $7.55 million for the home when buying from medico David Kirwan, who secured the 800 square metre oceanfront reserve property for $900,000 in 1996. 
The original two bedroom cottage had been on and off the market for seven years before its recent sale through Byron Bay Property agent Vicky Innes.
There were $10 million hopes for the property that came with approval for a luxury six bedroom home designed by Harley Graham Architects.
Ring, who's dad Kevin opened a naturopathics shop in St Kilda in the early 1970s, also spent $7.58 million on the Sorrento cottage Iluka on the Mornington Peninsula in 2016.
In the hinterland, Friday Hut Estate, the luxury estate belonging to the family of Cricket Australia board member Michelle Tredenick, has been listed for sale.
Bangalow Real Estate agent Gary Brazenor is marketing the 2005 built, eight bedroom retreat with 18 metre infinity pool.

Former Swisse Vitamins owner buys Wategos, Byron Bay retreat

<html><body>
Friday Hut Estate, the Byron Bay hinterland retreat, has been listed for sale by the family of Michelle Tredenick, board member of Cricket Australia.
The family paid $2.93 million for the 1.6 hectare property in 2014.
The contemporary 2005 built home, created with timber, marble and aluminium, has five bedrooms, a separate two bedroom cottage, one bedroom studio and an 18 metre infinity edge freshwater swimming pool.
Bangalow Real Estate agent Gary Brazenor is marketing the home.
Tredenick, currently at Insurance Australia Group, joined the CA board in 2015 and has held senior positions at Bank of Queensland, NAB, MLC and Suncorp.
Located on a hilltop with a North-East aspect, the architecturally designed, contemporary main residence sits among 100 year old fig trees.
Selling agent, Gary Brazenor says Friday Hut Estate offers a real sense of peace and privacy.
The estate also includes a charming two bed cottage.
"When we bought the property, I didn’t fully appreciate just how convenient the location is. We are close to town but feel complete peace and privacy at the same time," said Tredenick.
"It’s the perfect combination.
"We have loved the quality of the build and the attention to detail which makes our home so comfortable, such as the under-floor heating in winter.
"When friends and family come to stay it is wonderful to have the accommodation and space to all enjoy our beautiful gardens, location and infinity pool overlooking the hinterland.
"We will be sad to sell."
This main residence was built in 200 by a local builder for his own family.

The Anytime Fitness Australia co-founder Jacinta McDonell has snappily sold her Byron Bay hinterland retreat, as she intends to spend more time on overseas charity projects.
No price reveal, but Helen Huntly-Barrett at First National Byron Bay had a guide of $2.6 million to $2.8 million for the offering which was on the market for less than a month.
The fitness entrepreneur paid $2.1 million in 2015 for the Queenslander home on 9000 square metres at Federal.
Located about 30 minutes drive west of Byron Bay, the classic character Weemala Lane weatherboard is wrapped in verandahs which overlook the 15 metre heated salt water swimming pool. 
The property came with an award-winning contemporary extension.
It was initially renovated around 2001 by architect Sharon Fraser and her builder partner, Steve Esson after the Queenslander had been transported to the property in the 1980s.
McDonell and her brother Justin co-founded Anytime Fitness Australia in 2008, having opened their first gym soon out of graduating from high school in 1992.
McDonell more recently founded W1LL, an online yoga and meditation platform matched to music and visuals.
The mother of three has also founded a not-for-profit foundation, The Human Kind Project, which funds projects in Africa and India.
While she's grateful for her time at Byron, O'Donell intends spending more time overseas for the foundation and in Sydney working on her own residential home project.
Meanwhile down on the beachfront the former Skilled Engineering group boss Greg Hargrave has finally sold at Wategos Beach.
The Marine Parade offering has been on and off the market for the past seven years.
It was bought for $7.55 million in 2009 from the Albury medico David Kirwan, who had secured the oceanfront reserve property for $900,000 in 1996. 
It had been listed for April auction with a reserve of $7.5 million through Byron Bay Property Sales agents Vicky Innes and Jeremy Bennett.
The property on 800 sqm came with approval for a luxury six bedroom home designed by Harley Graham Architects.
Currently on the parcel sits an original two bedroom beach cottage.

Anytime Fitness Australia founder Jacinta McDonell sells Byron Bay hinterland holiday home

<html><body>
Anytime Fitness Australia co-founder Jacinta McDonell is selling her Byron Bay hinterland retreat, as she intends to spend more time on overseas projects.
The fitness entrepreneur paid $2.1 million in 2015 for the Queenslander on 9000 square metres at Federal about 30 minutes drive west of Byron Bay. 
Helen Huntly-Barrett at First National Byron Bay has a guide of $2.6 million to $2.8 million.
Two years ago McDonell, who oversees a gym empire of over 430 clubs across Australia, sold her Balmain trophy home for $3,775,000.
Earlier this year she spent $3.47 million on a duplex-style Federation residence with ocean views in Clovelly, with plans to turn into a family home.
McDonell and her brother Justin co-founded Anytime Fitness Australia in 2008, having opened their first gym soon out of high school in 1992.
McDonell more recently founded W1LL, an online yoga and meditation platform matched to music and visuals.
The mother of three has also founded a not-for-profit foundation, The Human Kind Project, which funds projects in Africa and India.
While she's grateful for her time at Byron, O'Donell intends spending more time overseas for the foundation and in Sydney working on her development.
McDonell says space away from the daily grind was critical to allow for "big-picture thinking".
The classic character Weemala Lane weatherboard is wrapped in verandahs which overlook the 15 metre heated salt water swimming pool. 
The property, with an award-winning contemporary extension, was initially renovated around 2001 by architect Sharon Fraser and her builder partner, Steve Esson after the Queenslander had been transported to the property in the 1980s. 
Since McDonell bought it, the separate studio had just been converted into a health and fitness area with bathroom. 
It comes with a fully equipped stainless-steel kitchen that flows in to the lounge rooms, complete with large glass windows to take in the vistas and a stand alone open fireplace.

The former Casuarina Ocean Health Retreat, which sold for $4.1 million less than two years ago, is back for sale - asking double its last sale price.
The property at <a href="https://www.commercialrealestate.com.au/property/770-casuarina-way-casuarina-nsw-2487-2014552878" target="_blank">770 Casuarina Way</a> was also known as the Cabarita Ocean Health Retreat before it was shut down in 2015 by its then Brisbane family owners.
They decided to develop and 18-lot subdivision on 2.5 hectares behind the retreat. The area included the resort's tennis court and swimming pool.
They listed the property for $6.5 million, with Bruce Williams, the listing agent at the time, saying it was being sold "well below replacement cost". It went on to sell for $4.1 million after sitting idly on the market.
<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/2018/8/29/a6d088b2ebeb43ce87bc94f4997e5f6d.jpg" alt="">
Raine &amp; Horne Byron Bay agent Sophie Christou, the listing agent this time round, said its $8 million to $8.8 million guide is still below replacement value.
The resort dates back to the 1970s when developed by Cabarita identity Ken Hansen. It has passed through the hands of several owners and run as a holistic health spa before ending up with the Brisbane family.
Until a few year ago, guests were paying up to $1045 a day to stay there, indulging in detoxifying therapies, massages, consultations with a naturopath and macrobiotic foods.
The retreat with direct access to Casuarina Beach boasts 12 bohemian inspired ensuited bedrooms, a day spa with six treatment rooms, gym, and a yoga room.
There's approval for a restaurant or cafe open to the public, as well as approval for a 25 metre swimming pool and an extra gym.
A rooftop terrace has views to Mount Warning.

As well as a popular wedding destination for the stars, Coorabella was the setting for the 1992 movie FernGully:The Last Rainforest.

She expects a high level of interest from both national and international buyers.

Offering the latest in sustainable design and technology, Mercato on Byron will be set over <a href="https://www.realcommercial.com.au/property-retail-nsw-byron+bay-502821410" target="_blank">two levels of 7,895 sqm on Jonson St</a>, with open dining spaces and room for outdoor markets, galleries and performances.
It has been designed with natural aesthetics of the surrounding environment in mind.

Mercato on Byron aims to be the first regional one-stop shopping complex aimed at achieving a Five Green Star design rating, with retail, F&amp;B and entertainment all located in one location.
It’s a community-based environment for tourists and locals alike, offering a friendly family-focused entertainment precinct, fresh food, casual dining and a place to meet for a drink or to socialise.
