A wave of investment, renewal and precinct growth continues to shape the northern edge of Macquarie Park, where daily life is supported by a rare combination of university activity, corporate employment, major retail, and expansive green corridors. It’s this convergence of amenity and connectivity underpins the setting for <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/urban-property-group">Urban Property Group</a>’s <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/la-vera-94-talavera-road-macquarie-park-nsw-2113">La Vera</a>, which has now topped out and is tracking toward completion in mid-2026.

Within this pocket of the precinct, residents move easily between the area’s key anchors. Macquarie Centre, home to more than 360 retailers, fresh food offerings, dining and entertainment, sits at the heart of local convenience and functions as a major transport interchange. The Metro, T1 rail line and extensive bus network place much of Sydney within quick reach, while surrounding arterial links support direct access to neighbouring districts.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=134951 project_image_fid=5829]

Green space remains a defining feature of the immediate environment. Lane Cove National Park stretches along the northern boundary of the precinct, offering bushland trails, cycling routes and quiet riverfront pockets. Shrimptons Creek and the campus grounds of Macquarie University extend these recreational networks, softening the urban setting and creating a daily connection to nature that informs the project’s architectural response.

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/cox-architecture">Cox Architecture</a> have shaped La Vera around these contrasts. The building’s northern elevation adopts an organic, curvilinear form that mirrors the natural topography of the national park. Three sculpted forms soften the tower’s profile and encourage a stronger transition between indoor living areas, balconies and the broader landscape.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=134951 project_image_fid=223737]

Cox Director Felipe Miranda says the building’s outlook played a central role in the design process.

“The vision for the project was to conceive a building that adopted an organic and curvilinear form to the northern portion that faces the Lane Cove National Park… The residents that reside in the northern portion of the building benefit by having beautifully crafted curved balconies that speak to the natural context and heighten the relationship of their internal living spaces to the external balconies,” Felipe Miranda of Cox Architecture said.

Toward the city-facing side, the design shifts to a more urban expression. A gridded facade and extensive glazing capture CBD views, creating a dual strategy that blends ecological outlooks with metropolitan orientation.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=134951 project_image_fid=5827]

La Vera delivers 169 residences across one- to four-bedroom layouts, reflecting the needs of young families, downsizers, first-home buyers and investors seeking long-term certainty within a high-amenity location. From the project, residents can walk to Macquarie University, Macquarie Hospital and nearby corporate offices, reach national park trails within minutes, and enjoy retail and dining without relying on a car.

The project is delivered by Urban Property Group, a 4.5-star iCIRT-rated developer-builder with more than three decades of experience. The company has become a leader in adopting 10-Year Latent Defects Insurance (LDI), first introduced on its Parq Bexley development and now embedded into its pipeline.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=134951 project_image_fid=223727]

La Vera is the first development in Macquarie Park approved to offer this 10-year LDI policy, adding another layer of protection for purchasers and reinforcing the transparency of the construction process.

Urban Property Group CEO Patrick Elias says this assurance has become increasingly important for buyers navigating the off-the-plan market.

“Consumers are a lot more weary and a lot more concerned in buying off the plan than they ever have been… Having LDI is a tool to portray the confidence that we have in our product, and a confidence we want buyers to share,” Urban Property Group CEO Patrick Elias said.

Urban Property Group's in-house construction team is forecasting a mid-2026 completion, with <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/project-marketer/home789">HOME789</a> appointed as the project marketer.

La Vera delivers a nature-connected address within Macquarie Park’s core

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/buildings/aura-by-aqualand-north-sydney-168-walker-street-north-sydney-nsw-2060">AURA</a>&nbsp;doesn’t just rise over North Sydney, it redefines it. Now in its final release, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/aqualand-australia">Aqualand</a>’s $1 billion architectural statement is not just complete, but already reshaping the way people live, connect and dine in this rapidly evolving harbourside CBD.

Positioned beside the new Victoria Cross Metro Station and boasting panoramic views across Sydney Harbour, Aura’s 386 residences crown a mixed-use precinct designed with unapologetic ambition. The curvaceous sandstone-inspired form by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/woods-bagot">Woods Bagot</a>, paired with <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/interior-designers/richards-stanisich">Richard Stanisich</a>’s understated interiors, sets a design tone that’s both monumental and intimate.

At its peak, literally, the two penthouses so spectacular they command their own names; La Davina and Il Magnate. The residents are spread across the&nbsp;entire top floor, offering what many consider the most refined residences ever built in North Sydney. Designed by Richard and Kirsten Stanisich, each four-bedroom home is meticulously crafted to evoke calm, space, and permanence.&nbsp;

<iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/VB70993aG-I?si=adRBlXQliYmYvaSz" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe>

The kitchens are fully wrapped in natural stone, with integrated Gaggenau appliances, Sub-Zero fridges, concealed sculleries, and even a zip hydro tap delivering boiling, chilled and sparkling water on demand. A linear stone fireplace anchors the open-plan living space, dividing lounge and dining zones with quiet sophistication.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=30959 project_image_fid=292861]

The master suite, meanwhile, feels more like a private retreat, complete with a custom stone makeup vanity, walk-through dressing area, and spa-inspired ensuite with heated stone floors, a freestanding Villeroy &amp; Boch tub, and timber veneer joinery throughout.

Kirsten Stanisich, Director of Richards Stanisich, said the penthouses offer incredible scale reflective of a single residence.&nbsp;

“We sought inspiration for these remarkable residences from the classic top-floor Parisian apartment," Stanisich said.

"We looked at what made these French apartments so elegant and found it really came down to their scale. It was ultimately this generosity of space that we used for the AURA penthouses, where we’ve designed considered rooms with deep large-scale proportions."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=30959 project_image_fid=310337]

Everyday living at Aura feels no less elevated. A dedicated 24-hour concierge, Technogym fitness centre, sky dining terraces, and a resort-style pool serve a lifestyle designed to rival luxury hotels.

At street level, Aqualand’s own hospitality arm, Etymon Projects, curates a precinct of LA-style bistros, Japanese fine dining, and local wine bars, all seamlessly integrated into the building’s sculptural podium.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=30959 project_image_fid=310337]

This final chapter, aptly dubbed The Finale, is more than a sales phase, it’s an invitation to two of the most exclusive apartments ever to be built in North Sydney.

With limited residences remaining, buyers can access curated incentives including stamp duty rebates, rental guarantees, legal fee coverage, and even $20,000 towards dining within the precinct.

From generous one-bedders to The Icons, two singular penthouses priced well into prestige territory, Aura’s offerings reflect a scale and calibre rarely seen in urban Sydney. And with move-in now immediate, this is no longer a promise of future luxury. It’s happening.

Aqualand unveils penthouse collection at AURA By Aqualand in North Sydney

There’s no sign of the development wave that began several years ago slowing along Old Burleigh Road.

Around 10 new apartment developments are either underway or preparing to launch along the 800-metre strip stretching from the southern edge of Surfers Paradise towards the heart of Broadbeach, collectively adding just shy of 1,000 new apartments to the beachfront corridor.

The latest plans propose a further 30 apartments to replace an original six-unit walk-up on a 658 sqm site at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/20a-old-burleigh-road-surfers-paradise-qld-4217">20A Old Burleigh Road</a>. The 14-storey building has been designed by Ferro Chow Architecture, which recently joined the Elevation Architecture Group.

The developer behind the project is Geoffrey Booth, whose Future Liv In has focused on delivering rental accommodation across regional Australia.

<img alt="Old Burleigh Road" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="99d393e7-d404-43bc-80cb-6255c39b83d6" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-01-05%20at%2012.28.44%E2%80%AFPM.png?VersionId=ZFT8F3mOny4M4ut.kFF3woC9WH9oR5gT" />

The Old Burleigh Road development will comprise 18 two-bedroom apartments, 10 three-bedroom apartments, and a single four-bedroom residence occupying the entirety of level 12. Above, the building will be crowned by a two-storey penthouse with its own private lift, several multi-purpose rooms, and two rooftop terraces — one featuring a puppy lawn and spa, the other offering a private swimming pool, sunset deck, and built-in barbecue.

Resident amenities will be located on the second level and include a pool with adjoining spa, cabana, and pool deck, along with an indoor residents’ lounge featuring a bar and an alfresco barbecue kitchen.

In the architectural statement submitted by Elevation Architecture, the project is referred to as “UMI”, which the firm says has been “inspired by the majestic hinterlands and shaped by the coastal climate”.

“It is an exemplar of how community living can still feel at one with nature, breathable, and deeply connected in place,” the architects noted.

They added that the site benefits from established building separation to adjoining towers, helping to maintain privacy, sunlight, and residential amenity, while still offering direct beach access within an urban setting.

“Drawing inspiration from the Gold Coast hinterlands and the region’s natural landscape, the podium and tower detail highlights the contrasting elements of treetop green and cliff-face peach. The vibrant texture and materiality shaped by time has a richness in depth and character.”

Old Burleigh Road has become a hotspot for developers, with the three-tower Jewel development kickstarting a wave of projects up and down the strip when it was completed in 2020.

Currently under construction and approaching completion is <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/faro-broadbeach-123-old-burleigh-road-broadbeach-qld-4218">FARO Broadbeach</a> by 5Point and Bottega, 21 large-scale half- and full-floor apartments. 5Point is also behind the recently launched <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/lumara-108-old-burleigh-road-broadbeach-qld-4218">Lumara</a>, another 37 apartments to add to the pipeline.

Luxury builder GRAYA is progressing construction on <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/enclave-by-graya-118-old-burleigh-road-broadbeach-qld-4218">Enclave</a>, its first Gold Coast tower, while Polycell remains the most active developer on the street. They are preparing to launch <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/sandpiper-broadbeach-155-old-burleigh-road-broadbeach-qld-4218">Sandpiper</a>, a 50-storey redevelopment of the former Sandpiper Holiday Resort that will deliver around 200 apartments alongside extensive resident amenity. The group also has another 130-apartment project approved nearby, as does <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/news/qld/dvb-approved-for-second-broadbeach-apartment-development">Dean Gallagher’s DVB Projects</a>.

First look: Old Burleigh Road apartment development wave continues

Sunshine Coast developer Habitat Development Group continues to position itself as one of the region’s largest new apartment developers.

Its latest project is in Maroochydore, where it is currently delivering <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/the-millwell-2-millwell-road-east-maroochydore-qld-4558">The Millwell</a>. Adjacent to the new 53-hectare Maroochydore City Centre project, Habitat is planning a further 180 apartments on a 3,468 sqm site at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/132-136-aerodrome-road-maroochydore-qld-4558">132–136 Aerodrome Road</a>. The site was purchased with approval for a smaller 13-storey, 103-unit building.

Habitat will demolish the two existing retail centres, currently home to the Salvation Army Family Store and Neighbours Aid, and replace them with an 18-storey building featuring the significant rooftop amenities that have become a hallmark of Habitat developments in recent years. The rooftop will include both indoor and outdoor spaces, anchored by an infinity swimming pool.

<img alt="Maroochydore" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="ad434d07-666b-4614-b33e-530ad6a2d261" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-01-05%20at%2010.12.33%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=7pyLsPWKQuwv0us3_v.9DmbzEc2VZe9Z" />

There will be a mix of one- to four-bedroom apartments.

The Development Assessment Report, submitted to the Sunshine Coast Council, says the proposal&nbsp;is not speculative, but a response to both zoning intent and demonstrated housing need.

“The proposed development represents an appropriate and logical intensification of the site, consistent with the planning framework and the intended urban outcomes for the locality.”

Across the Sunshine Coast, councils are increasingly scrutinising not just height or yield, but whether new projects genuinely align with the long-term structure plans underpinning growth corridors. The&nbsp;ASTP Planning Report&nbsp;reinforces the approach, noting that the project has been shaped around site responsiveness rather than generic typology.

“The development has been designed to respond to the physical constraints and opportunities of the site, while delivering a high-quality residential outcome that integrates with the existing and emerging urban context.”

<img alt="Habitat" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="3a03fc54-4ca5-4868-88d0-eeced70604e2" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-01-05%20at%2010.12.28%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=1pkK3lJrrZjkghTLBReM2zatcas4Nc4B" />

In mid-2025, Habitat, a developer that also builds its own projects, commenced construction on The Millwell, located just over one kilometre from the new proposal. The Millwell will comprise more than 200 apartments across two eight-storey buildings.

Habitat also has two projects on Lake Kawana in Birtinya: <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/st-clair-birtinya-930-931-waterside-retreat-birtinya-qld-4575">St Clair</a>, a 200-unit, two-building development launched last year and set to welcome buyers this year; and Esperance, a 175-apartment project currently progressing through the development approval process.

John Camilleri, the breeder of legendary racehorse Winx, is set to deliver a landmark two-tower beachfront development that would redefine the Surfers Paradise skyline.

Camilleri, who spent around $100 million acquiring development sites across the Gold Coast in 2025, has lodged plans for two new towers on the dress-circle stretch of Garfield Terrace, just two days before Christmas.

In assembling the site, Camilleri's Celestino Developments has effectively acquired the 71 Garfield project by Iris Capital and AALTO by Weiya Holdings, creating an unrivalled <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/63-79-garfield-terrace-surfers-paradise-qld-4217">4,000 sqm beachfront holding along Garfield Terrace</a>.

The proposal comprises two residential towers of 55 and 48 storeys, linked by a dramatic skybridge which will home “exclusive VIP and wellness amenities.”

In total, the development would deliver 275 two-, three- and four-bedroom apartments across the two towers, rising above a shared landscaped podium that incorporates a central green space and a beachfront swimming pool stretching more than 90 metres.

<img alt="DBI" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="097900f3-6bef-4919-b168-b08f2f762876" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202025-12-30%20at%209.37.58%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=et0SpmcvaPPVrexI_zWi46BVFtZBxAzx" />

Architecture firm DBI, in documents submitted to Gold Coast City Council, said the project at 63–79 Garfield Terrace would “establish a new benchmark for beachfront residential living on the Gold Coast.”

"The project occupies a rare, uninterrupted oceanfront site and has been shaped by a design philosophy that merges architectural elegance with environmental responsiveness and a carefully curated lifestyle experience. Together, the 48-storey North Tower and 55-storey South Tower form a distinctive twin-tower composition whose dynamic silhouette will make a significant contribution to the Surfers Paradise skyline."

DBI said the architectural language draws inspiration from the fluidity and movement of the coastal landscape.

"Each tower is defined by organic, curving forms and continuous balcony ribbons that wrap the buildings, providing deep shading, enhancing environmental performance, and reinforcing the rhythmic, sculptural expression of the façade. These balcony forms also reduce the apparent mass of the towers while maintaining strong visual continuity from podium to summit. Sculpted reflective downturns run along the western spine of both towers, shifting and lifting as they extend upwards to frame service zones and open eastward to maximise ocean views."

<img alt="Garfield" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="a2a00ce3-a0e9-45d6-b4b5-b7baed592ac5" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202025-12-30%20at%209.53.40%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=DnruWV1dhLrtXOeElwekyd7vPq2gw55t" />

The project’s most striking feature is the skybridge at level 45, which will house executive lounges, formal dining spaces, wellness facilities and panoramic ocean-facing views.

“The skybridge enhances the identity of the development, promotes social interaction, and delivers a lifestyle experience not found elsewhere on the Gold Coast,” DBI added.

The podium will host an extensive suite of recreational amenities, including resident lounges, private dining rooms, a large open green lawn, and the signature 90-metre pool stretching along the beachfront. The pool is divided into lap, lounge and children’s zones.

The southern end of the podium will accommodate additional wellness facilities, including a gymnasium, plunge pools, treatment rooms and a dedicated yoga lawn.

<img alt="Garfield" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="ee1b4f25-231f-4804-83b1-a573a1481962" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202025-12-30%20at%209.55.47%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=zObzIA3D5w7EwqPsHjr2pKrA4vbB28zL" />

There will be 127 apartments in the North Tower and 148 in the South Tower, including multiple penthouses, while the Enderley Avenue and Oceanway frontages will be activated by a series of food and beverage tenancies.

Camilleri emerged as the most active site acquirer on the Gold Coast in 2025. He spent just over $30 million acquiring Pacific Point, a 10-level Surfers Paradise apartment block and an adjoining three-level duplex, from fellow racing identity and Aquis billionaire Tony Fung. Plans are now underway for a 93-apartment, 40-storey tower on the 1,682 sqm site.

He also paid $53.65 million for the 1,500 sqm Garfield Terrace site previously marketed as AALTO by Weiya Holdings, before acquiring the adjoining parcel from hotel billionaire Sam Arnaout’s Iris Capital, the developer behind V&amp;A Broadbeach.

Coolangatta

Kirra, the small enclave part of the wider Coolangatta, is one of the most sought-after spots across the whole of the Gold Coast.

There's Kirra Point, the world renowned surf break which will be the focal point of the surf events at the 2032 Summer Olympics.

Development down near the water has generally been boutique in nature over the last few years, with most apartments on Musgrave Street and Marine Parade starting from well over the $2 million mark.

Overlooking it all is Kirra Hill, slightly up the slope but still just 350 metres from the sand.

That's where Immerse Projects have found a gap in the market, bringing a more affordable product to the area which has been starved of entry-level stock since Miles Residences by KTQ sold out in early 2020.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112169 project_image_fid=207550]

Immerse, led by construction industry veteran John Kearney who leads building firm Greyburn, is developing Rhythm Kirra Hill at 30 Garrick Street, a seven-level building with just 40 apartments.

Prices start from $720,000 for the 71 sqm, one-bedroom units. The two-beds are priced under $1 million, and the largest apartments on offer, the three-bedders with a multi-purpose room, are available at $1,355,000.

A short walk from the famous surf, Rhythm is also a stone’s throw from a vibrant café and dining scene, which is just 150 metres away, with an eclectic collection of high-end restaurants, casual eateries and coffee spots, and unique bars.

The Kirra Point Precinct and The Strand Beachfront Shopping Precinct are 600 metres from Rhythm.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112169 project_image_fid=207549]

Kirra and Coolangatta are also home to a collection of beachside boutiques and shopping, while also being just a short drive from national and international retailers at the Gold Coast’s major shopping centre, Pacific Fair.&nbsp;

For those who prefer to get around on public transport, there are several bus routes that service the area, with the main bus terminal located on Griffin Street.

Another popular option is to cycle or walk,&nbsp;with several dedicated paths and trails leading to the beach and other attractions within Coolangatta.&nbsp;

Greyburn kicked off construction on Rhythm in February. They anticipate an 18-month build.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112169 project_image_fid=210208]

Kearney says the company is well positioned to deliver Rhythm, having successfully completed a variety of residential projects across South-East Queensland.

“Demand for premium beachside apartments on the southern Gold Coast is higher than ever, so we are excited to be officially under construction with project certainty to bring this highly-desirable project to life."

Jayde Pezet of Pezet Matheson, who is selling Rhythm Kira Hill alongside Ashwin Property, says construction comes hot off the back of strong enquiry for the project.

“The project has been exceptionally well received and many prospective buyers have been enticed by the project’s close proximity to key lifestyle amenities,” Pezet said.

Rhythm Kirra Hill: How Rhythm apartments take advantage of the Kirra lifestyle

The Rainbow Bay lifestyle is one that focuses on wellbeing.&nbsp;

Known to locals as 'the island' the idyllic stretch of coastline has long been sought after, due to its laid-back and relaxed atmosphere, making it the perfect place to escape the hustle and bustle of city living.&nbsp;

Paul Gedoun's S&amp;S Group have taken the vibe of the suburb and put that into their latest residential development, Esprit, which adds a new addition to the skyline.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=102921 project_image_fid=172174]

Not your typical high-rise apartment complex. Crowning Esprit is Club Esprit, a unique residential rooftop deck that's designed to promote wellbeing and self-care among its residents.&nbsp;

The centrepiece of Club Esprit is its 25 metre magnesium lap pool, which is surrounded by wet daybeds and poolside cabanas, where residents will be able to lounge by the pool, soak up the sun and take in views of the coastline.

There are also multiple barbecue areas, which gives residents the ability to dine alfresco.

Club Esprit also has a yoga and relaxation play lawn where residents can unwind and stretch, with the lush greenery and serene atmosphere transporting any user to a state of zen.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=102921 project_image_fid=172175]

For those who love to entertain, Club Esprit has a private dining room with a kitchen scullery, bar, lounges, and an outdoor terrace, positioned as the perfect setting for a dinner party or special occasion.&nbsp;

Club Esprit also boasts a rooftop wellness centre that's fully equipped with a Technogym, ice bath, infra-red sauna, steam room, thermal room, and treatment room.&nbsp;

The ice bath, infra-red sauna, and steam room provide the perfect recovery after a workout, while the thermal room is a unique feature that combines different types of heat therapy to improve circulation, boost the immune system, and relieve stress.&nbsp;If you're in need of some TLC, the treatment room is the place to be.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=102921 project_image_fid=172173]

Hutchinson Builders are currently construction Esprit, which is slated for completion by mid-2024.

There will be 94 apartments delivered across the dual frontage site at&nbsp;217-227 Boundary Street,&nbsp;with a mix of two and three-bedroom apartments.

Cottee Parker has designed the apartments, with prices starting from just under $900,000 for a two-bed, two-bathroom and one car space apartment. The three-bedders come with two car spaces at Esprit. They range from $1,915,000 to $2,555,000.

Club Esprit: The ultimate rooftop retreat for wellness and self-care

The tightly held Coolangatta pocket, one of the fasting growing area's in the southern Gold Coast, has welcomed its newest apartment project.

Nestled between the idyllic Kirra Beach and Coolangatta is Rhythm Kirra Hill, a collection of 40 coastal-style apartments at 30 Garrick Street.

The development is the first to be launched under newly branded development company Immerse Projects, which benefits from John Kearney’s 20 years of development experience in south-east Queensland.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112169 project_image_fid=207366]

"The architecture, sub-tropical landscaping, and amenity of Rhythm follow our ethos of designing and delivering high-quality projects and we have been able to consider how this project can fit well within the area and suit the lifestyle of its future residents,” said Kearney.

Designed by award-winning firm BDA Architecture, Rhythm Kirra Hill will capture the essence of a modern coastal lifestyle with a selection of two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartments across the seven-level building, with five different floorplans on offer.

“There are to be five different floor plates, all of a unique nature that have been designed to appeal to a wide section of the market," Kearney said.&nbsp;

Apartments range in size from 95sqm to 157sqm with prices starting from $895,000.

“Rhythm Kirra Hill will appeal to a range of buyers through quality designs that we believe create useable living spaces in an ideal coastal location."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112169 project_image_fid=207367]

Over half of the apartments will offer two carparking spaces, while the development will have 31 bike parks for residents in addition to six visitor carparks and eight visitor bike parks. Each apartment will also have its own storage cage in the basement level. These apartments are also future-proofed with provisions for solar panels, electric car charging and parcel delivery lockers.

Rhythm Kirra Hill will also feature a host of tailored amenities framed by sub-tropical landscaping. The rooftop will feature a pool, barbecue area, and sun lounge deck and the ground-level amenity includes a sauna, gym, meeting room, and an outdoor shower.

“Rhythm Kirra Hill has been meticulously designed to suit a wide-range of buyers seeking a high-quality, well-designed apartment that offers a relaxed beachside, walk-to-wherever lifestyle” said Kearney.

“Our design considers a wide sector of the market from downsizers wishing to stay within proximity to their existing detached dwellings to young couples seeking proximity to the beach and employment."

"World-class surf breaks, picturesque walkways, and beloved local cafes and restaurants sit essentially at your doorstep at Rhythm Kirra Hill,” Kearney added.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112169 project_image_fid=207368]

The launch of Rhythm Kirra Hill comes on the heels of the commencement of early works by Greyburn Building Contractors, one of south-east Queensland’s leading building companies with 35 years’ experience in construction - also headed by Kearney.

Construction on Rhythm Kirra Hill is due to commence this month, with completion scheduled for early 2024.

S&amp;S Projects has started construction on their third development transforming Rainbow Bay into one of the Gold Coast’s most sought-after beachfront suburbs.

Hutchinson Builders, one of Queensland’s largest construction companies, has been appointed to deliver the $150 million Esprit project after the luxury apartment development was swamped by an initial $71 million wave of buyers.&nbsp;

Comprising 94 apartments spanning two interconnected buildings, Esprit will take luxury amenities to a new level with the Gold Coast’s first ever residents’ only wellness rooftop and luxurious recreation area, Club Esprit.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=102921 project_image_fid=172129]

The Cottee Parker Architects-designed Esprit features a collection of floorplans, including spacious two and three-bedroom residences spanning the lengths of the 12 and seven-storey buildings.

Jayde Pezet, of Pezet Matheson, said Hutchinson Builders infallible reputation across the construction industry and great balance sheet to back it up offers certainty and peace of mind to buyers.

“As one of Queensland’s largest construction companies, Hutchinson’s are well equipped to ensure the viability of the project and navigate the challenges facing the industry at this time, which provides our buyers with peace of mind,” Pezet said.

Centrally located in the heart of Rainbow Bay’s relaxed beachside community, Esprit will offer café culture and natural amenity at its doorstep, while the rooftop will deliver sweeping views in every direction across the world-famous Snapper Rocks and Rainbow Bay Beachfront.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=102921 project_image_fid=172173]

S&amp;S Projects has announced the final release of apartments at Esprit, priced from $995,000 for the two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartments and from $1.95 million for the three-bedroom residences. Two- bedroom residences offer living spaces from 109 sqm to 128 sqm, while three-bedroom designs span from 151 sqm to 215 sqm.

When completed, Esprit residents will not only secure a well-designed apartment but will also enjoy a lifetime membership to one of the most impressive and exclusive wellness clubs on the Gold Coast.

Club Esprit will deliver&nbsp;a fully equipped gym, yoga lawn, private remedial treatment room, ice bath, infrared sauna, steam rooms, 25-metre infinity edge lap pool and poolside cabanas.

“When you consider the level of amenity residents are buying into, the superb location, and the superiority of design, you genuinely can’t find better value on the coast right now,” said Pezet.

“Residents are essentially securing an immaculately designed home as well as a lifetime membership to one of the most impressive and exclusive wellness clubs to exist on the Coast.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=102921 project_image_fid=172175]

The exercise amenity is balanced by a sprawling residents’ recreational space, including a children’s play lawn complete with modern play equipment, private dining room, private terraces, barbecue areas and an outdoor cinema.

Esprit is expected to be completed in the first half of 2024.

With Esprit now in the construction phase, it brings to three the number of active developments under way by S&amp;S Projects in the coastal hotspot, all of which have hit the spot with lifestyle buyers.

Esprit comes on the heels of the company’s $74 million Flow Residences, hailed as one of Australia’s best-selling beachfront projects, and Awaken Residences, which set a record penthouse sale price of $8.15 million for the Coolangatta area.

Construction of Flow has reached a milestone with the building topping out and edging closer to completion later this year, while construction is progressing at Awaken with the basement completed of the boutique 12-level project starting to take shape on a prime site atop Point Danger.

S&amp;S Project’s Director Paul Gedoun said with the construction of the first two projects having now considerably progressed, it only made sense to begin works on the group’s third Rainbow Bay development.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=102921 project_image_fid=172174]

“Our trilogy of stunning developments has been exceptionally well received by the market and they undoubtedly set a new standard of modern coastal living on the southern Gold Coast,” he said.&nbsp;

“Each of these projects will deliver their own unique interpretation of relaxed beachfront sophistication that we believe has set Rainbow Bay apart as one of the Gold Coast’s most desirable places to live.

“We are excited to have Hutchinson Builders on Esprit with their local Coolangatta team on the job. They are locals and employ locals and that is important to us,” Gedoun added.&nbsp;

Final release of apartments at Esprit, Rainbow Bay, as Hutchies start construction

Gold Coast builder and developer John Kearney, head of the well known local building firm Greyburn, has secured development approval for a seven-storey apartment project in the heart of Coolangatta.

Positioned within the highly sought after and quiet residential Kirra Hill pocket,&nbsp;the project will deliver beachside apartments, within walking distance of some of Coolangatta&rsquo;s most iconic beaches and best amenity on the Gold Coast.

Kearney, who has over 35 years of experience developing in the South-East Queensland region, said they were excited to deliver the project, which will come to a market that is in high demand. &nbsp;

&ldquo;Our team lives and breathes the Gold Coast so we want to position our projects in areas that inspire a great lifestyle,&rdquo; Kearney said.

Located on a prime corner site at 30 Garrick Street, just 350 metres from Coolangatta Beach, the project will deliver 40 two-bedroom apartments with an average size of 105 sqm.

All apartments will feature two bathrooms, in a range of floorplans, with smaller affordable options, to larger more spacious layouts with additional study areas.

High ceilings will provide natural light throughout, while considered interior designs encourage cross-ventilation.

&ldquo;30 Garrick Street is designed to suit a wide-range of buyers seeking a high-quality, well- designed apartment that offers a relaxed beachside, walk-to-wherever lifestyle,&rdquo; Kearney said.

&ldquo;Our plans for the project are founded on providing well designed high, quality residences close to the beach with a focus on highly usable floor plans,&rdquo; Kearney added.

&ldquo;Our design considers a wide sector of the market from downsizers wishing to stay within proximity to their existing detached dwellings to young couples seeking proximity to the beach and employment.

&ldquo;The position enables residents to park their car in the secure basement and walk to everything their lifestyle requires whether it be basking on the beach or walking the ocean way path until they need to stop and enjoy world class coffee and food. Not to forget the daily ritual of immersing in the Pacific Ocean.&rdquo;

Crowning the project will be a rooftop pool and barbecue area, complete with outdoor dining space and relaxation zones, encased in lush tropical greenery.

The ground floor will cater for modern apartment living with a surf shower, a secure parcel room, a function room, as well as work-from-home space.

Kearney&rsquo;s Greyburn has been able to navigate the challenges of the building industry of late, recently stepping up to complete construction of Fraser Property Group&rsquo;s $121 million master-planned community, Minnippi Quarter in Brisbane, following the collapse of Condev Constructions.

Greyburn portfolio includes a spat of successful residential and commercial projects in SEQ, including Palladium, comprising 39 double-storey townhouses at Hope Island, along with the ORO Apartments, which delivered a boutique collection of luxury apartments at Biggera Waters.

Kearney plans to officially launch 30 Garrick Street to the market in the coming months.

[smartcode_project_cta: project_id=112169]

Located on a prime corner site at 30 Garrick Street, just 350 metres from Coolangatta Beach, the project will deliver 40 two-bedroom apartments with a spacious average size of 105 sqm.



Greyburn gains approval for apartment development in the heart of Coolangatta 

The continually successful Mosaic Property Group are approaching a sell-out of their latest Gold Coast apartment project.

Just two apartments remain in the boutique Kirra block Luca, derived from the Latin name Lucas,&nbsp;meaning&nbsp;&ldquo;bringer of light&rdquo;. The three-bedroom apartments are priced from $1.64 million.

Over 90 per cent sold to Mosaic&#39;s VIP waitlist within a month. Around a quarter were repeat Mosaic purchasers, and over half were local owner-occupiers residing in the immediate area. All up over 80 per cent of the apartments sold to local owner-occupiers, a popular trend in Mosaic-developed buildings.

Mosaic Property Founder and&nbsp;Managing Director Brook Monahan says Kirra is a perfect little beach haven that offers residents the peace and tranquillity of a coastal town with the convenience of major city infrastructure.

&quot;It is ideally positioned for easy access to major centres given its proximity to the M1 Motorway via the Tugun Bypass and Gold Coast Highway, while its&nbsp;proximity to the Gold Coast International Airport also makes it attractive location for residents and visitors alike, given direct links to many overseas destinations and numerous daily flights to major Australian cities,&quot; Monahan says.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=111772 project_image_fid=199439]

&quot;Of course there&#39;s also&nbsp;World Heritage Listed National Parks and Byron Bay with its highly coveted natural appeal are also a short drive over the border into northern New South Wales.&quot;

Monahan also noted Kirra&#39;s attraction from&nbsp;an investment standpoint.

Data from PriceFinder showed&nbsp;houses sold during 2021 commanded an 81 per cent, or $693,000 premium above the wider Gold Coast.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=111772 project_image_fid=199442]

&quot;Low residential vacancy rates further underscore the appeal of the area and the comparatively limited amount of housing available to satisfy demand, Monahan added.

The current rental vacancy rate of 0.5% according to RTA, which is so low it can be considered as full occupancy.

On the name Luca, Monahan says they thought the name was apt for the collection of beautiful homes which were designed to maximise the benefits of being located in one of the most spectacular spots on the Coast.

&quot;Residences are spacious and highly considered with elevated ceilings, full-height glazing, and impeccable quality finishes,&quot; Monahan says.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=111772 project_image_fid=199438]

&quot;They have been designed to maximise ocean outlooks, with generous balconies that make the most of the idyllic subtropical living.

As part of Mosaic&rsquo;s ongoing commitment to sustainability, Luca will pursue a UDIA 6 leaf Envirodevelopment certification, with a range of initiatives set to be implemented to ensure a collection of homes that are not only visually appealing but also designed to be friendlier to the environment.

Designed by Gatehouse Architects, Luca will feature a level one recreation area which will include&nbsp;a resort-style pool, sauna, and outdoor kitchen, complete with barbecue facilities and dining areas.

Luca is Mosaic&#39;s second Coolangatta project, following the successful Elan by Mosaic, which sold out in 2019.

Coolangatta's Rainbow Bay area has arguably been the hottest proposition for apartment seekers since the pandemic drove the masses toward the Gold Coast.

Local and interstate buyers were swooping on anything that came on to the market, and even before then, with a number of developers securing sell outs before the general public could even enquire.

Chapter Two,&nbsp;a development group led by Jon Quayle and Oliver Bagheri, in collaboration with Summa Group, identified a gap in the market with their newly approved Eden Avenue project, Holm.

They're offering&nbsp;buyers a chance to secure a spot in the sought-after enclave, without the price tags of some of the more high-end, boutique developments closer to the beach.

Holm, on a generous 1,924 sqm site 44 -50 Eden Ave, will comprise 86 apartments across its 12 levels, with the two-bedroom units starting from in the $800,000's, one of the most affordable products in the area.

They'll offer a rare trifecta of views, with ocean river and Gold Coast hinterland outlooks, including views over Snapper Rocks.

Designed by Plus Architecture, some&nbsp;of the two-bedders will offer additional multi-purpose rooms, the same deal with the three-bedroom apartments.

<a href="/new-apartments/holm-rainbow-bay-44-50-eden-avenue-coolangatta"><img alt="" data-entity-type="" data-entity-uuid="" height="750" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/holm_kitchen.jpg" width="1200" /></a>

There will also be two unique townhouses and a courtyard unit located on ground floor, adding to the diversity of the residential offering.

“In all our developments, we love to showcase built form inspired by the natural beauty that surrounds it.," Jon Quayle, Chapter Two Director said.

"Holm’s flowing curves, lush greenery, natural elements and light filled spaces are timelessly Rainbow Bay."

“Rainbow Bay is recognised as one of Australia’s premier beach destinations, north facing like Noosa and Byron Bay but more accessible and attainable, with stunning lifestyle amenity, natural beauty and some of the coast’s best dining and entertainment.

"Holm has been designed to echo this, providing premium living spaces with superb resident amenities that bring together all the elements that people seek in sophisticated coastal living.”

The development will incorporate a top-floor residents’ club on level 12 that will include an ocean view infinity-edge pool; spa, sauna and steam room; a modern gymnasium and yoga deck; an outdoor dining area with barbecue facilities; and a fire pit space.

<a href="/new-apartments/holm-rainbow-bay-44-50-eden-avenue-coolangatta"><img alt="" data-entity-type="" data-entity-uuid="" height="500" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/holm_pool.jpg" width="1200" /></a>

It will also include a dedicated work-from-home area with private office studios, resident’s library and function room.

The entry has been designed to give residents a luxury welcome, with natural stone features, timber flooring, Italian appliances, full-height glazed windows, and secure resident parking.

Holm is the third project that has seen Chapter Two team up with Summa Group, following Calista, a collection of four townhouses in Palm Beach, and Eden Collection, another boutique collection of just five townhomes which are set to launch in Tugun soon.

Demand for apartments on the southern Gold Coast has never been stronger with the latest Urbis Apartment Essential report revealing the Southern Beaches market, which includes Coolangatta, remains in serious undersupply.

CBRE Gold Coast has been appointed to handle the sales and marketing of Holm as it launches to the market in the coming months.

Chapter Two was formed a little over a year ago by corporate property veterans Jon Quayle and Oliver Bagheri. Since then, the company has secured a pipeline of 13 residential projects across Brisbane and the Gold Coast totalling over $300 million in gross value.

Holm, at 44 -50 Eden Ave, will comprise 86 apartments across its 12 levels, with the two-bedroom units starting from well under $1 million.



Rainbow Bay set for new $110 million apartment development as Holm secures development approval

After a number of back-to-back sell outs up and down the Gold Coast, Marquee Development Partners has been given the greenlight for their next project.

The luxury tower, dubbed Monterey, on one of the last remaining Kirra beachfront sites at 4-6 Musgrave Street, will have 35 apartments across its 14 levels, with just high-end three and four-bedrooms on offer.

It&#39;s been designed by the Brisbane-based Ellivo Architects, and will replace an ageing apartment block of 15 which has been on the 1,163 sqm&nbsp;site for over five decades.

It will be Marquee&#39;s 10th project on the Gold Coast in the last four years.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112210 project_image_fid=198836]

Most recently Marquee secured sell-outs at SOL Kirra Beach, Palm Beach Residences and Northshore, both&nbsp;at Palm Beach, and Cannes Waterfront, One Cannes and Shoreline, all three located between Broadbeach and&nbsp;Surfers Paradise.

Marquee has spent the past two years amalgamating the Kirra site through individual negotiations with 15 apartment owners.

&ldquo;We believe this is the best site available in Kirra today,&rdquo;&nbsp;Marquee Development Partners&rsquo; sales manager Azura Griffen&nbsp;said.

&ldquo;No other remaining site offers this much beach frontage, so it&rsquo;s quite unique and well worth the significant effort from our end to acquire the property.&rdquo;

The site is located along the Kirra beachfront and has around&nbsp;45 metres of north-facing beach frontage, with an aspect that captures vistas of the Gold Coast coastline from north to south.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112210 project_image_fid=198839]

&ldquo;With all apartments enjoying a north-facing aspect, residents will enjoy vistas that capture sunrises over Snapper Rocks and sunsets behind the Gold Coast skyline,&rdquo; Griffin added.

&ldquo;The extra-wide frontage has allowed us to design every apartment with kitchens, living spaces and master bedrooms all facing the beach, providing a deep connection between the interiors and the stunning panoramas that surround.

&ldquo;All this with the natural beauty of Kirra Beach and its world-class surf breaks at your door. Kirra today offers even more with an emerging caf&eacute;, restaurant and entertainment scene that has made this southern Gold Coast gem one of the most sought-after lifestyle destinations for residential buyers over the past 12 months.&rdquo;

Marquee has already started receiving a number of expressions of interest from potential buyers ahead of the official launch of Monterey Kirra Beach in April.

&ldquo;Buyers have been closely monitoring our progress with this project, several of which are familiar with the high quality marquee developments and how quickly they have been selling out.

&ldquo;Monterey is an exceptional site and we&rsquo;ve crafted an equally exceptional development to do it justice, and the market is responding well to our vision.&rdquo;

Coolangatta&#39;s busy beachfront&nbsp;is set for another apartment development.&nbsp;

It&#39;s a second Coolangatta project filed by John Kearney, Managing Director at the construction firm Greyburn and a director at Alvey. He&#39;s&nbsp;submitted plans for an eight-level development&nbsp;at 30 Garrick Street, on the corner of Garrick and the dress circle Musgrave Street.

There will be just 40 apartments, all two-bedders,&nbsp;with five different configurations on offer. One of the two-bed configurations also has a study.&nbsp;

BDA Architecture, who handled the design, noted in their submission to the Gold Coast City Council that the&nbsp;40 units will service a wide sector of the market from downsizers wishing to stay within proximity to their existing detached dwellings to young couples seeking proximity to the beach and employment.

Internal areas of the apartments will range from 82 sqm to 100 sqm, with the total area&#39;s including balconies ranging from 91 sqm to 113 sqm.

<a href="/new-apartments/rhythm-kirra-hill-30-garrick-street-coolangatta-qld-4225"><img alt="" height="856" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/screen_shot_2022-03-03_at_9.01.04_am.png" width="1212" /></a>

Level eight will home the rooftop amenity, with a swimming pool and communal barbecue area.

BDA said the&nbsp;proposed architecture is a contemporary coastal and local vernacular.

&quot;It will offer a layered façade of brick, screening, projections and landscaping that will knit locality together.&quot;

There will be just five apartments per floor.

&quot;An exceptionally located site that provides a unique setting for a medium density residential complex to be set within close proximity to the significant amenity of the Coolangatta centre and the recreational amenity afforded to the Coolangatta beaches,&quot; BDA continued.

<a href="/new-apartments/rhythm-kirra-hill-30-garrick-street-coolangatta-qld-4225"><img alt="" height="858" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/screen_shot_2022-03-03_at_9.01.17_am.png" width="1210" /></a>

BDA said the proposal &quot;knits Garrick and Musgrave Street.&quot;

&quot;The proposal will assist in negotiating a sensitive transition from the centre zone uses and scale of Musgrave Street to the residential spaces of Garrick Street.&quot;

&quot;The concept is to provide a variety of two-bedroom dwellings that mix between smaller affordable floor plans and larger spacious lifestyle layouts.&quot;

In December Greyburn lodged their first Coolangatta project&nbsp;at 39-41 McLean Street, which again will provide&nbsp;more affordable stock than what&#39;s currently on offer in the area.

<a href="/new-apartments/39-41-mclean-street-coolangatta"><img alt="" height="735" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/39_mclean_street_coolangatta_2_0.jpg" width="1200" /></a>

Also designed by BDA Architecture, the&nbsp;19-level building will have&nbsp;63 apartments, made up of 28 two-beds, starting from 85 sqm of internal space, and 35 three-bedroom apartments which start from 110 sqm.

It sits next door to the old Jazzland Dance Palais which Melbourne developer&nbsp;BeckDev are seeking to turn in to apartments.

Crowning the new McLean Street project will be a rooftop pool, gym, lounge and kitchen area, and indoor and outdoor dining spaces. The development will be anchored at street-level by a cafe.

BDA Architecture noted the 40 units will service a wide sector of the market from downsizers wishing to stay within proximity to their existing detached dwellings to young couples seeking proximity to the beach and employment



Greyburn files for second Coolangatta apartment project

The Kir​ra Beach and Rainbow Bay area in Coolangatta, on the south end of the Gold Coast,&nbsp;has emerged as one of the hottest apartment spots not only on the Gold Coast, but arguably across the country, in the last 12 months.

Beloved by locals, the area is famous for its quiet beach, limited tourist activity, and its surf. The latter is so popular that most developers build in surf board racks and storage to their amenity, next to outdoor showers to wash off the sand.

Kirra Beach&nbsp;has been one of the hottest markets on the Gold Coast since December 2020, when Miles Residences, the development by KTQ, was launched. The $450 million project, part of the redevelopment of the iconic&nbsp;Kirra Beach&nbsp;Hotel, snappily sold out stage one, with future stages to be released early next year.

The quick sell-out of&nbsp;Joe Adsett&#39;s Rockpool at Rainbow Bay followed, without any need for marketing. Marquee Developments Partners also didn&#39;t need any marketing to sell out their development SOL in Kirra Beach&nbsp;recently.&nbsp;

Hirsch &amp; Faigen&#39;s luxury Emerson development on Musgrave Street has been in high demand, with the luxury, mostly whole-floor, development now over 60 per cent sold.

And there&#39;s a healthy pipeline of projects for 2022. We&#39;ve wrapped up the developments, pending council approval, will be launching in 2022.

Crowning the new McLean Street project will be a rooftop pool, gym, lounge and kitchen area, and indoor and outdoor dining spaces.

BDA Architecture, who handled the design, said in their submission to the Gold Coast City Council that the attributes of the site suggest that it is an ideal location for affordable residential accommodation. The tower is inspired by the Coolangatta headlands and the surrounding coast and sea.
