<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.

A residential development site in Byron Bay has been listed for sale by JLL’s Sales &amp; Investments Team.  
Offers close on the 4,542sqm site in Shirley Street on March 23.
JLL’s Blake Goddard said the property is being offered with a development approval for 17 luxury 3 bedroom apartments facing Byron Bay’s main beach.
The site provides direct beach access and is situated within 300m from Byron Bay’s high street representing a true rarity,” he said.
“Byron Bay has seen significant capital growth in the past few years and is set to continue as the increase in investment from Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne high net worth privates continue.
The plans have been designed by the architectural firm, Hayball, said Elliott O’Shea of JLL.

Market conditions throughout the Ballina Shire remained strong throughout 2016 and there are early signs that the market will remain strong into the first quarter of 2017, according to HTW’s February 2017 update.
The valuation firm says price levels across most market segments are at record levels and stock remains low.
“Given that price levels are at record levels any further increases in value would appear unlikely in the short term however low stock levels, particularly throughout the sought after beachside localities may result in some further growth in prices,” the report says.
“The lack of stock and strong demand resulted in the Byron Shire area having tremendous growth in 2016 and it is predicted to remain this way into 2017.
“If interest rates remain low, it will cause demand in the area to become very high, particularly in the coastal resort towns of Lennox and Byron Bay.”
HTW tips the suburbs that are worth watching this year in the Byron Shire to be Ocean Shores, New Brighton and South Golden Beach.
These have had an entry level pricing point of $500,000 to $1 million for a coastal place for many years and are well sought out on the coast due to proximity to Byron.
But the firm is less keen on Mullumbimby, which it says seems to be a particular suburb to treat with caution.
“This is a suburb that has had a very strong price increase in recent years and the worry is that if interest rates rise, it may not be sustainable,” the report says.
“The overall feel for the Byron Shire is that if interest rates and stock levels remain low there will be a strong demand for the area and the markets in Lennox, Byron and Suffolk will have growth, particularly Lennox Head as buyers choose this suburb as a less expensive alternative to Byron Bay.”

The total land value for the North Coast region has increased over the 12 month period to 1 July 2016 by 8.4 percent from $54.29 billion to $58.84 billion, according to the latest report from the Valuer-General.
The Report on NSW Land Values at 1 July 2016 found that overall land values in the North Coast region showed a moderate increase. Exceptions to this trend were the LGAs of Kyogle (-0.1 percent) and Kempsey (0.4%) where land values were generally steady.
The continuing upgrade of the Pacific Highway along the Mid North Coast is influencing land values, with Port Macquarie (8.2 percent) and Nambucca Heads (5.4 percent) showing moderate increases. The largest increase in land values in the region was for residential properties, with an overall increase of 9.7 percent. The largest increases occurred in Ballina (13.8 percent), Tweed (11.5 percent), Lismore (12.5 percent) and Byron (10.5 percent).
Overall land values for commercial land increased by 6.5 percent. The largest increases occurred in the LGAs of Byron (11.7 percent) and Tweed (9.9 percent).
Total industrial land values for the region increased by 7.3 percent. The highest increases were recorded in Bellingen (17.8 percent), Nambucca (13.7 percent) and Byron (12.6 percent).
Rural land values for the region have shown a moderate increase of 5.2 percent. The largest increases occurred in Ballina (10.4 percent) following strong demand for rural lifestyle properties.

Singer-songwriter Pete Murray has traded in the Byron Bay beaches to return to the hinterland.
He has bought a retreat at Newrybar, a four bedroom home some nine kilometres from his former abode.
Murray, who sold his near beachfront Suffolk Park home, Blue Sky Beach House, for $2,205,000 in July, spent $1,685,000 on hinterland property.
The two level home on its 6,107 sqm lot comprises an open plan kitchen and large outdoor entertaining spaces offer views over the hinterland.
There's also an ornamental vineyard.
The home was marketed by selling agent Scott Harvey at Scott Harvey Real Estate as having plans passed for further renovations that include an infinity pool and a Balinese bathhouse.
Murray, who has recently been performing some acoustic session in the Maldives, previously lived at Eureka, where he and former wife, Amanda Coutts bought Carawatha, the district's original farm house.
His third album, Summer at Eureka, was released in 2008, becoming his third consecutive #1 album on the ARIA charts.
The study in the 1907 property featured on the cover of the album. 
Murray briefly even had his own restaurant in Byron Bay in 2013 called Frankie Brown Cafe, named after his Kelpie dog, Miss Frankie Brown.

The Wategos Beach, Byron Bay holiday home of businessman Mark Rowsthorn, the chief of transport company McAleese, has finally sold at an undisclosed price.
The asking price had remained steadfast at $8.5 million, despite being on the market for nearly two years.
Rowsthorn saw the neighbouring Byron Bay house selling for $9.5 million last year and knocked back several bids.
He paid $6.2 million for the home in 2006 after it traded for $4.5 million the year earlier.

Stand up comedian Jimeoin McKeown has listed his neglected Byron Bay hinterland retreat for sale.
The Melbourne based comedian -  marketing himself as Ireland's Witruvian Man - and wife Catherine Arena paid $1.35 million for the three hectare estate in 2003.
It was briefly up for sale in 2008 at $2.5 million. 
Perched highly on the tightly-held <a href="https://www.realestate.com.au/property-house-nsw-coorabell-124084506" target="_blank">Coolamon Scenic Ridge</a>, the empty Ewingsdale three bedroom home features an outdoor entertaining deck and a saltwater swimming pool.
Byron Bay LJ Hooker agent Liam Annesley is taking offers up to December 17. High in Byron Bays' lush hinterland, it comes with far-reaching valley to ocean views.  "Currently the home is ready for your own touch, while you work on your grand plan to showcase an architecturally designed home of your choice," the marketing says.
Born to Irish parents in England, Jimeoin moved to Australia at the age of 22, gaining work as a gardener after working on building sites in London for four years.
He both starred in and co-wrote two Australian feature film comedies, The Craic (1999) and The Extra (2005).
He had his own comedy television programme, the eponymous Jimeoin, which ran for three seasons.
In 2010 he aired Jimeoin: Over the Top when he was travelling across northern Australia doing stand-up routines recorded at towns along the way.
Jimeoin also hosted SBS's primetime comedy programme The Full Brazilian during the 2014 FIFA World Cup. 
His forthcoming Renonsense Man tour takes him from Cootamundra next weekend to England's Southend-on-Sea next February.
The closest the tour gets to Byron is Ballina in January for the comedian who once described Byron as his favourite place in the world.
"Full of rich people, poor people, and best of all, Swedish backpackers," he said.
He was last spotted earlier this year spending time at Bluesfest.

Another Melburnian, businesswoman Penelope Maclagan has emerged as a prestige Byron Bay buyer.
She's behind the $5.6 million purchase of Seregenti on the exclusive Lighthouse Road.
It was sold by Unique Estates Ruth Gotterson and Nicolette van Wijngaarden in conjunction with Byron Bay McGrath's Ian Daniels and Nick Dunn
She bought the four bedroom home overlooking the ocean in August for the joint biggest sale in coastal suburb this year.
Set on 713 sqm, the luxury home features an abundance of terraces and a salt water swimming pool with poolside accommodation.
Penelope co-founded in software company Computershare, ranked among the 10 richest Australian business woman.
Maclagan has listed her Byron Bay apartment with a price guide of $1.6 million to $1.65 million through Byron Bay McGrath.
Last year spa king Eddie Phillips sold on Lighthouse Road for $6.3 million to Melbourne based businessman Mark Ruff.
The home, Villa Natasha Bonita, has five bedrooms and five bathrooms.
Earlier this year Real Estate of Distinction agent Janis Perkins sold Wattai at Watego's a renovation by Grand Designs host Peter Maddison.
The acclaimed architect spent two years renovating the luxury Byron Bay Beach house, which sold for $5.6 million to a relative local.
It was sold by Melbourne property developer Allan Sinclair, the father of Sydney Swans footballer Callum Sinclair.
The most striking feature of the four bedroom home is the 183 sqm rooftop terrace complete with 10 person spa.
In 2011 Sussan fashion chain executive chairwoman Naomi Milgrom, usually dubbed Victoria's richest woman expanded her Byron Bay holdings. She spent $6.2 million to buy the 1200-square-metre property adjacent to her $4.75 million acquisition in 2007. It took her hillside holding to 2130 square metres.
Milgrom's 2007 purchase was from the Melbourne-based Asciano boss Mark Rowsthorn, who had bought the property in 2002 for $2.825 million from John Weller, the former Melbourne solicitor who made international news when he won the first case of child maintenance for a man in the 1970s.
Rowsthorn upgraded to Marine Parade, Wategos, where he paid $6.2 million in late 2006.
