<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.

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

Cbus

<html><body>
The plans for a new $300 million commercial project in the heart of Adelaide’s CBD have been revealed.
Located on the corner of Pirie Street and Freemasons Lane, on the former Planet Nightclub site, 83 Pirie will introduce approximately 30,000 square metres of A-grade office space.
The building, designed by Woods Bagot and developed by Cbus Property, will span 17 levels of office, as well as a 300 square metre rooftop terrace, an onsite wellbeing lifestyle centre and 365 square metres of ground plane retail.
The project will also have features such as electric car charging stations and of-trip facilities.
<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/2019/2/19/83%20PIRIE_CBUS%20PROPERTY_FACADE51.jpg" alt="">
Cbus Property CEO, Adrian Pozzo, said there is strong market demand for new, A-Grade commercial workspace in Adelaide.
“There is a distinct lack of supply for contiguous new built commercial stock in Adelaide’s city centre,” Pozzo said.
 “This demand is driven by positive employment rates and sustained spending across defence, renewable energy and technology sectors, including the implementation of the 10 Gigabyte Adelaide initiative, which indicates demand will only increase.
“We recognise that the workplace is changing and tenant requirements are evolving so it was an ideal opportunity to create a new benchmark for office design in Adelaide.
“Tenants are not only looking for innovative workspaces that offer flexibility and foster a collaborative and engaging work environment but also leading design incorporating innovative technology, sustainability and wellness initiatives which is exactly what 83 Pirie will deliver.”
<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/2019/2/19/83%20PIRIE_CBUS%20PROPERTY_LANEWAY61.jpg" alt="">
Andrew Beasley, National Director of Office Leasing at Colliers International, said tenants at 83 Pirie will benefit from heightened connectivity throughout Adelaide’s CBD.
“Over the past few years, we have seen an increased appetite from domestic institutional developers and investors in Adelaide, which was once traditionally dominated by private developers,” Beasley said.
“The shift from private to institutional investment has created new standards for building design and architecture and with only two new buildings to be completed this year and new supply for 2020 unlikely, tenant demand is strong.
“This combined with 83 Pirie’s highly efficient 1,750 square metres side core floorplates and exceptional views from the upper floors will appeal to a high calibre of commercial tenants, spanning major corporates and state and federal government.
“Ideally located in the heart of Adelaide, Pirie Street has unrivalled links to culture and lifestyle amenity, including popular eateries, which has seen it become known as the CLD.
“While it has a strong lifestyle offering, Pirie Street still remains an important part of the commercial district with corporate occupiers keen to have proximity to other professional service firms, car parking stations and the nearby retail amenity.”
83 Pirie’s design and architecture was will complement the existing streetscape and nearby heritage buildings, said Thomas Masullo, Director, Woods Bagot.
“83 Pirie’s bold form echoes the low-rise and heritage fabric of the high street architecture,” he said.
“Elevated above the podium, the tower rises to take its place in the city skyline, with repetition of angled glass panels across the façade creating an elegant and sophisticated design aesthetic.
“The tower will make an enormous contribution to the social and economic fabric of the precinct and our great city.”
Construction of 83 Pirie will commence once a pre-commitment is secured and is expected to take around two years to construct.

Plans revealed for new $300 million Adelaide CBD office project

<html><body>
Cbus Property has outlined its upcoming project, The Langston in Epping, in Sydney’s booming north-west.
It is located 100m from Epping Train Station, on the site of the current Westpac office.
There's approval for three towers of 19, 24 and 29 storeys containing 463 apartments. The project will offer a range of one, two and three-bedroom apartments, with prices starting from around $650,000.
Tower Three, to be known as Langston Tower, will be located on the corner of Langston Place and Epping Road.
Tower Two (Langston Central) will be located to the south-west of Tower Three, and Tower One (Langston Parkview) will be located at the corner of Pembroke Street and Chambers Court. 
Designed by architectural firm Architectus, with landscaping by landscape architects, Arcadia, the development will be situated on the highest land point in the suburb.
The Langston will also include a mixed-use precinct comprising 1,681sqm of retail space and 1,921sqm of communal open space, with laneway and pedestrian links to feature throughout the site, connecting The Langston with the existing public library and recreational facilities. 
 <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/2018/5/9/A750_view33_T3_L26_A01_Dining_preview.jpg" alt="">
Works on The Langston are scheduled to commence in January 2019.
According to Adrian Pozzo, Chief Executive Officer at Cbus Property, the project will be a key element of the Epping Town Centre revitalisation.
“The future Epping Town Centre will deliver an increase in housing capacity of around 3,750 new homes within a 10-minute walk of the train station, as well as many new employment opportunities and local services,” he noted.
“There will also be significant road and intersection upgrades, and important major regional transport infrastructure, including the Hills M2 upgrade, and the $8.3 billion Sydney Metro North West, which is due to open next year.
“In addition, Epping is also only five to 10 minutes from existing major regional amenities such as Macquarie University and Macquarie Shopping Centre.”

CBUS set to develop landmark three-tower Epping development

<html><body>
Cbus Property has now leased more than 40% of its $1.25 billion Collins Arch development at 447 Collins Street.
Its latest deal for almost 20,000 square metres including a third tenant for the mixed-use precinct.
Top 10 Australian law firm Gadens has secured 5,000 square metres of NLA commercial space over levels 11-13, equating to just over 10% of the 49,000 square metres available.
More than 40% of the leasing space is now committed, with Gadens joining King &amp; Wood Mallesons (KWM) and HWL Ebsworth.
KWM secured 8300 square metres across levels 23 to 27 in June, with HWL Ebsworth securing 6500 square metres across levels eight to 10 in October.
The commercial space lies in the western tower of Collins Arch.
The development will also house a five-star hotel in the eastern tower with a luxury residential component above crowned by two luxury penthouses and resident amenity linking the dual towers across Melbourne’s first sky bridge.
Taking up the entire city block between Collins Street, Williams Street, it has been designed by Woods Bagot and SHoP Architects.
<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/2016/12/20/Cbus%20Property_Collins%20Arch_view2.jpg" alt="">
Colliers national director of office leasing Andrew Beasley said the 447 Collins St address resonated internationally.
”The view south across Melbourne’s Yarra River and Port Phillip Bay and Collins Street-facing northern vista are just part of what makes Collins Arch a major drawcard,” Beasley said.
Construction has commenced on <a href="https://www.collinsarch.com" target="_blank">Collins Arch</a>, with completion due in 2019.
Expressions of interest are currently being accepted for both commercial leasing and the luxury residential apartments, including two sky bridge penthouses.

Collins Arch, Melbourne signs up third law firm office tenants

<html><body>
Following the construction commencement on Melbourne’s most significant architectural landmark, Collins Arch, developer Cbus Property has secured its second office tenant.
The 447 Collins Street address will now be home HWL Ebsworth Lawyers when the twin tower structure is completed, in addition to inaugural tenant King &amp; Wood Mallesons.
Some 30 percent of Collins Arch’s 49,000 square meters of commercial space is now committed signalling strong market demand for the Cbus Property $1.25 billion flagship development.
Taking up the entire city block between Collins Street, Williams Street, Market Street and Flinders Lane, Collins Arch is positioned in the sweet spot of Melbourne’s legal precinct.
It will be Melbourne’s first WELL rated commercial building when completed in 2019.
“We are delighted to have committed to what we believe will be the most impressive building to be constructed in Melbourne in recent memory, clearly a future landmark,” said Mr Juan Martinez, Managing Partner of HWL Ebsworth Lawyers.
The leasing announcement follows the commitment of Collins Arch’s first tenants, King &amp; Wood Mallesons which secured almost 20 per cent of the precinct’s available office space across five floors in a major global deal.
HWL Ebsworth Lawyers has secured almost 6,500 square metres of NLA commercial space across levels eight to 10.
“This prestige site is easily the most envious location for office space in Melbourne right now, if not Australia,” said Andrew Beasley, national director of office leasing at Colliers International.
Construction has already commenced on Collins Arch, which will also include a five star hotel and luxury residential apartments that are currently accepting expressions of interest.
The development, designed by leading architecture firm Woods Bagot in partnership with internationally acclaimed SHoP Architects, features a west tower for offices and a residential eastern tower, joined by Melbourne’s first sky bridge, to be a standout on the Melbourne skyline.
Collins Arch is one of Australia’s largest mixed-use developments, located on a unique 6000 square metre island site set to feature an unparalleled 3500 square metres of public realm incorporating 1500 square metres of proposed park on Market Street subject to authority approval.
