<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/jwland-development">JWLand</a>’s De Burgh, the final residential release within the Northbourne Village precinct in Lyneham, is nearing completion just as the Federal Government’s Home Guarantee Scheme prepares for its most significant expansion to date.&nbsp;

From October 2025, the scheme will allow first home buyers to enter the market with just a five per cent deposit and no lenders mortgage insurance (LMI), removing some of the most common barriers to ownership.

With <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/de-burgh-at-northbourne-village-40-de-burgh-street-lyneham-act-2602">De Burgh</a> on track for residents to move in by late spring 2025, the timing creates a strong opportunity for first home buyers seeking brand-new apartments in Canberra’s sought-after Inner North.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=139989 project_image_fid=212888]

The project delivers 350 residences across two buildings, with layouts ranging from compact studios through to one, two, and three-bedroom apartments.

JWLand has tailored the development for long-term liveability, integrating natural light, privacy and outdoor space into each home. Ground-floor residences feature private courtyards, while upper levels benefit from generous balconies.

Kitchens are fitted with Fisher &amp; Paykel appliances, and all apartments include ducted reverse-cycle air conditioning with smartphone app control for lighting and climate.&nbsp;

Shared resident facilities include a rooftop garden, gym, lounge and parcel lockers, alongside landscaped green space within the precinct.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=139989 project_image_fid=267376]

For buyers, the expanded Home Guarantee Scheme removes income caps and introduces unlimited places, making it more accessible than ever. With most De Burgh apartments priced under $1 million, they fall well within the updated eligibility thresholds.

The policy changes provide first home buyers with greater certainty and a smoother path to finance. Combined with the quality and location of De Burgh, the expanded scheme is expected to draw a new wave of buyers to Canberra’s Inner North.

Residents will benefit from the project’s central setting, just 600 metres from the light rail and three kilometres from Canberra’s CBD. The precinct is bordered by the <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/lyneham-act-2602">Lyneham</a> wetlands and sits within easy reach of cafes, restaurants, schools and the ANU.

With completion scheduled for late 2025, De Burgh is set to be among the first major apartment projects to meet the expanded scheme head-on, offering first-time buyers a realistic pathway to ownership in one of Canberra’s most connected neighbourhoods.

A subtropical pair of residential towers are in planning for a key South Brisbane site neighbouring the iconic Expo ’88 Skyneedle, with new documents revealing a vertically layered vision designed to respond to the precinct’s evolving high-density character.

The proposal has been lodged by&nbsp;Darveniza Group, which is also is behind the 400-apartment Station Quarter precinct in Alderley.

Darveniza Group, led by Jane Darveniza, the Brisbane-based investor and Queensland rich-lister and widow of the late property magnate Bojan Darveniza, is seeking approval for a mixed-use project encompassing 204 apartments, ground-level retail, food and drink tenancies, and office space across two architecturally integrated towers at 37–39 Manning Street.

Occupying an 1,822 sqm site, the proposed towers would rise above a sculptural podium base, with a recessed landscaped centre, rooftop communal areas, and a total of 220 car parks and 256 bicycle bays. The apartment mix spans one- to five-bedroom dwellings, with a design emphasis on generous balconies, cross-ventilation, and climate-responsive materials.

<img alt="First look: Twin towers proposed for Manning Street site beside Skyneedle" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="42c1f501-2afd-440b-af49-67c257123ea7" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Manning%20podium.png?VersionId=KFlksfWzmDRD.VIYxd_1q3VAel.nN3TH" />

“The development is conceived as two slender twin buildings that meet at a lushly landscaped central recess,” the Finegrain design report states. “The façade is highly articulated with the plan form stepping back and forth to reduce visual bulk and maximise internal occupants’ access to natural light and air”.

A hallmark of the proposal is its integration of greenery, both visually and functionally. Around 77 per cent of the site’s green plot ratio is delivered through vertical planting spines, a green podium wall, and rooftop amenity. Ground-level deep planting and landscaped communal zones aim to create a shaded, walkable interface along Manning Street.

“The stepped plan form introduces variation in balcony setbacks and enclosed apartment areas, enriching both the façade expression and the resident experience,” the design team notes. “At ground and podium levels, this stepping also enhances permeability, maximising pedestrian view lines to the neighbouring Skyneedle and reinforcing a strong sense of local identity”.

<img alt="First look: Twin towers proposed for Manning Street site beside Skyneedle" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="b3f26dfc-6b93-465c-9ffb-0a2530372a23" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Manning%20site.png?VersionId=JflvKdqDxcaHTFbb9HL5TwoiRgeQ2LqA" />

The site directly adjoins the heritage-listed Skyneedle at 35 Manning Street, an enduring legacy of World Expo ’88. The accompanying heritage impact report by Pendergast Architects contends that the proposal has been carefully conceived to protect the cultural significance and landmark visibility of the structure.

“The design provides setbacks, tower separation and podium articulation to maintain the visibility and landmark role of the adjoining Skyneedle,” the report states. “The significance of the Skyneedle lies principally in its landmark visibility and cultural symbolism, rather than in detailed fabric or architectural setting”.

The proposal sits within the Kurilpa Sustainable Growth Precinct, under Brisbane’s TLPI 02/2023, where revised planning controls support high-density, mixed-use development integrated with subtropical design and increased public realm contributions.

Finegrain’s design reflects this intent, drawing cues from the site's adjacency to Musgrave Park, the subtropical landscape of South Brisbane, and cultural landmarks such as QPAC and South Bank.

A first-of-its-kind culinary precinct is coming to <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/melrose-park-nsw-2114">Melrose Park</a>, inspired by global street-food flavours and best-in-class restaurants and entertainment.

Deicorp’s emerging mid-city precinct, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/melrose-central-melrose-park-33-hope-street-melrose-park-nsw-2114">Melrose Central</a>, will become the go-to precinct within the wider Melrose Park community, and at its heart, a first-of-its-kind culinary precinct that brings the buzz of Asia’s most iconic food streets to life.

Spanning more than 4,700 sqm, Melrose Central street food precinct is inspired by the energy and vibrant flavours of street-food neighbourhoods from Hong Kong and Tokyo to Seoul and Singapore.

This new destination will be over three times the size of existing offerings like Burwood Chinatown or Westfield Chatswood’s Hawker Lane, positioning Melrose Central as a must-visit dining hub for all of Sydney.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=134220 project_image_fid=289878]

Designed by Anthony Ho of Basalt Studio, this street food concept blurs the lines between culinary theatre, art, and entertainment, offering an immersive experience. Neon-lit laneways thread between open kitchens and live grill stations, while murals, interactive displays, and light installations will bring the precinct to life, trading until late, a first for the area.

“We’ve imagined our street food concept as a graduated evolution of everything people love about Burwood Chinatown, East Village and Regent Place, elevated by the immersive artistry creating a city-style dining offer,” said Bilinda Turner, Head of Retail at Deicorp.

“By curating the very best tenants from across Australia, we’re creating a fit-for-purpose town centre for 2025 and beyond. It’s something that people truly haven’t seen before."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=134220 project_image_fid=352610]

Melrose Central is far more than a food precinct. Spanning 30,000 sqm across four levels, the shopping centre will be home to approximately 100 retailers, providing a total lifestyle offering from morning until late evening.

Fresh food offerings span a brand new Coles Supermarket, Local Grocer, Korean Supermarket, Bakery and boutique fresh food, as well as a Dan Murphy's, while health needs are covered from a pharmacy, medical centre and allied health. Fitness and wellbeing take centre stage from a dedicated wellbeing hub that includes pilates, recovery, Infrared saunas and a gym, to name a few.

Variety stores will feature throughout, as well as personal care offerings from nail salons to hairdressers, as well as a dedicated early-learning centre on level 1.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=134220 project_image_fid=289888]

Situated above the retail precinct will be 495 Turner Studio-designed apartments that open onto 6,000 sqm of lush podium gardens and rooftop terraces.

Located just six kilometres east of Parramatta’s CBD and 15km from Sydney CBD, Melrose Central forms the retail and lifestyle heart of Melrose Park, an urban-renewal precinct that is set to deliver more than 11,000 homes, 22,000 new residents, and 50,000 sqm of park and open space.

A dedicated stop on Parramatta Light Rail Stage 2 will arrive at the precinct’s Hope Street entrance, and the forthcoming Parramatta Gateway Bridge will link directly to Sydney Olympic Park and Wentworth Point.&nbsp;

Supported by a 10-minute drive, this growing catchment of 200,000 people, which is projected to grow to 279,000 by 2026, and an average household income above the Greater Sydney average, Melrose Central embodies Deicorp’s vision for transport-oriented, community-focused placemaking.&nbsp;

Melrose Central street food precinct and the wider Melrose Central retail town centre are both slated to open in mid-2026.

Melrose Central: First-of-its-kind culinary precinct coming to Sydney’s West

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/sekisui-house-australia">Sekisui House Australia</a> has unveiled the fifth and final stage of its $1 billion Norwest community, The Orchards.

The final stage, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/zeste-at-the-orchards-norwest-104-fairway-drive-norwest-nsw-2153">Zeste</a>, will deliver 209 apartments across two distinctive buildings, Essence and Eden. The 135 apartments in Essence will be the first to be released to the market, which will bring to an end the decade-long vision to create a&nbsp;neighbourhood defined by design excellence, sustainability, and community engagement.

&nbsp;

&nbsp;

&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=150510 project_image_fid=351878]

David Lee, Sales Manager at Sekisui House Australia said, Zeste's oversized living spaces and diverse apartment mix, which includes the introduction of&nbsp;Breezeway Sky Homes for the first time, deliver a unique lifestyle offering.

Early purchasers will benefit from exclusive VIP pricing as well as the choice of one premium upgrade, which Lee says is a "thank you" for their commitment to the project.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=150510 project_image_fid=351876]

Designed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/rothelowman">Rothelowman</a>, Zeste embodies Sekisui House’s global design philosophy of creating harmony between people, homes and nature. Principal Ben Pomroy explained that Zeste is about living within the landscape.

“With two large courtyards, the lagoon pool precinct for the wider community and a central courtyard with pavilion exclusively for Zeste residents, the architecture frames an experience of living in a park," Pomroy said.

“Over 50 per cent of the site is landscaped, ensuring a deep connection to nature at every stage of daily life. The buildings are designed as a collection of smaller, finer-grain forms, with over 85% of apartments enjoying dual aspects.

“The focus on natural ventilation, generous layouts and communal interaction creates a residential environment that is both sustainable and socially connected.”

&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=150510 project_image_fid=351886]

Natalie Shalala, a member of Rothelowman’s interiors team said they reimagined the former site’s Orchard homestead with a contemporary twist. &nbsp;

“The design draws on the nostalgia of the past orchard – timber floors, the warmth of a fireplace, the rituals of the homestead and reinvents them for modern apartment living,"&nbsp;Shalala said.

“We have created two tonal palettes, one with pale honey undertones and another with a soft blush inspired by nectar. A highlight feature is the cathedral glass light box, a bespoke design element that re-interprets the classic lantern. It is both beautiful and functional, tying kitchen and bathroom spaces together in a way that feels entirely unique."

Shalala said the&nbsp;day-to-day liveability has been carefully considered, with abundant storage solutions, butler’s pantries, bike storage and joinery designed to simplify routines and enhance comfort.

&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=150510 project_image_fid=352090]

Apartments in Zeste start from $715,000 for one-bedrooms and extend through to expansive three-bedroom Sky Homes priced from $2.25 million. Floorplans range from 59 sqm to 144sqm.

The mix in Essence comprises 41 one-bedroom, seven one-bedroom + Max space, 39 two-bedroom, 40 two-bedroom Breezeway Sky Homes (24 of which include additional Max spaces), and eight three-bedroom residences.&nbsp;

Max spaces are integrated into select residences, offering a flexible room that can be tailored to individual needs, ideal as a home office, children’s play area, or additional storage.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=150510 project_image_fid=351881]

Zeste continues Sekisui House Australia’s partnership with Altogether Group, providing sustainable water, power and data services to residents. Passive design strategies include cross-ventilation, deep landscaping and water features that encourage evaporative cooling, aligning with The Orchards long-term environmental goals.&nbsp;

Construction is set to commence on the Zeste buildings in early 2026, with completion anticipated in late 2027 to early 2028.&nbsp;

More than 850 apartments have been sold across the masterplan, contributing to The Orchards community of 1,300 apartments when complete.

Sekisui House Australia launches Zeste, the final stage of its $1 billion Norwest masterplan

A significant addition to the Bella Vista Station Precinct is in the pipeline, with <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/landen-property">Landen</a> formally lodging a State Significant Development Application for a <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/40-memorial-avenue-bella-vista-40-memorial-avenue-nsw-2153">new apartment community on Memorial Avenue</a>.

Positioned beside the Elizabeth Macarthur Creek corridor, the project is among the first major transit-oriented residential proposals within the Metro precinct.

The masterplan, designed by&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/turner-studio">Turner Architects</a>,&nbsp;outlines a four-stage delivery, comprising four buildings between four and fifteen storeys, and includes a mix of one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments, alongside a limited selection of four-bedroom penthouses and terraces.

The project places a strong emphasis on housing diversity and liveability, with apartment sizes ranging from 50 to 180 sqm. The first stage will deliver 213 dwellings, followed by 231 in the second stage. Construction is expected to commence in 2026, pending approvals.

<img alt="Bella Vista Apartments" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="bb3d84b1-d2df-4e26-915a-31b27faf9b1a" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/View02_01-scaled.jpg?VersionId=Gb0AUtZ3VXsLxrqUaw_AwT_vcBwQ_FJu" />

As the first transit-oriented development (TOD) in the precinct, Landen’s Bella Vista community has been designed to align closely with the surrounding Metro infrastructure. The proposal integrates new pedestrian and cycling paths, a new bridge over Elizabeth Macarthur Creek, and direct access to Bella Vista Metro Station.

Lush communal amenities are also central to the design. 'The Grove' and the 'Garden Link' will create landscaped community areas that reflect the area's agricultural heritage and provide direct access to the creekside.&nbsp;

The ‘Garden Patio’ is conceived as a multi-use indoor-outdoor facility offering a gym, study nooks, and communal lounge spaces.&nbsp;Rooftop terraces across the buildings will offer views to the Blue Mountains and Parramatta skyline.

<img alt="Bella Vista Apartments" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="778da409-d5cf-4e7d-9ba9-0c36990bf0b4" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/landen-bella-property-image.jpg?VersionId=ukPpmVcHF71xRc7U3MUT5rtGwOsntMMz" />

Landen’s Head of Property, Shane Harding, said the proposal highlights the developer’s precinct-scale ambition.

“As the first TOD proposal in Bella Vista, it highlights Landen’s ability to pioneer precinct-scale projects, integrate housing with infrastructure, and deliver outcomes that align with government priorities,” Harding told the Daily Telegraph.

The project arrives at a time of rapid growth in Western Sydney, with Bella Vista alone forecast to more than double in population by 2046. The development’s location, between the Bella Vista and Kellyville Metro stations, positions it as a connected lifestyle hub for families, professionals and downsizers seeking access to transport, schools, and employment centres.

Pending approval, the development is slated for completion in 2028.

Coolangatta apartments

Immerse Projects is set to launch their second <a href="/developments/coolangatta-qld-4225">Coolangatta apartment project</a> to the market later this year, having received approval from the Gold Coast City Council.

Veteran builder John Kearney, who heads up renowned developer Greyburn, is behind the 17-level apartment project at 39 McLean Street, adjacent to his <a href="/new-apartments/rhythm-kirra-hill-30-garrick-street-coolangatta-qld-4225">Rhythm Kirra Hill development</a> which is currently on the market.

“We are very pleased with today’s approval of the McLean Street project which is the result of a lot of collaborative work with Council <a href="/news/qld/first-look-latest-kirra-beach-coolangatta-apartment-tower">over past 18 months</a>,” Kearney said.

“This allows us to focus on delivering and finishing construction on our adjacent site being Rhythm Kirra Hill and look forward to moving our teams onto this site towards the end of next year along with a DA submission of another site in Tweed.”

The McLean Street development will deliver 58 new apartments comprising a mix of two-and three-bedroom designs, with the project to be topped by a 240 sqm penthouse.

The development will deliver a range of resident amenities including resort-style rooftop providing a communal lounge room, pool, gymnasium and sauna. The design offers additional communal areas on the ground and first levels that will provide meeting rooms for work-from-home use and parcel delivery lockers for online purchases by residents.

Designed by award-winning firm BDA Architecture, the development will feature a simple slender design with curved edges and a paired back elegant articulation of a timeless architectural style.

Immerse Projects reduced the height of the project from 19 levels following negotiations with the Council over the past 18 months. The site is located within the Coolangatta Centre District which offers higher density allowances under the Gold Coast City Council Town Plan.

<img alt="McLean Street" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="d847f078-058f-469f-8027-90491feaeca8" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202023-07-26%20at%204.49.13%20pm.png?VersionId=8XejfOh44DYRaGUQToteMSU28yoJnCVZ" />

The project is designed to provide a variety of residential products in the established <a href="/developments/coolangatta-qld-4225">coastal neighbourhood of Coolangatta</a>, an area that is growing in popularity with buyers.

Rhythm Kirra Hill, which offers apartment designs that suit a wide section of the market,&nbsp;has proven to be popular among owner occupiers and local downsizers.

“McLean Street, like Rhythm, will cater to that missing middle market where buyers are looking for quality coastal residences with resort-style facilities but without the premium price point,” Kearney added.

“We are big believers in the southern Gold Coast, as the market remains buoyant for this type of product amid an ongoing undersupply of stock.”

Greyburn will start construction on the <a href="/new-apartments/39-41-mclean-street-coolangatta">McLean Street project</a> next year.

Immerse Projects secure approval for second Coolangatta apartment tower

Developer BeckDev has made significant design concessions to its proposed Palais <a href="/developments/coolangatta-qld-4225">Coolangatta development</a>, the most obvious being a large reduction in height and scale.

The group, led by founders Ben and Max Beck, lodged the revised plans with the council this week.

Responding to the latest councils request to reduce the building even further in height, BeckDev further concedes lowering the height of the project to 17 storeys from the 22 storeys originally proposed and the subsequent revised 20-storey design that sat comfortably within the skyline and in close proximity of an existing 24-storey building.

The reduction in floors and the number of apartments planned for Palais will see the height of the project slashed to 58.75 metres from the originally proposed 75.5 metres as BeckDev looks to meet the council’s requests.

Amid an ongoing undersupply and shortfall of apartments available for rent and purchase, Palais will be further reduced to 132 apartments. This is considerably less than the 174 apartments originally planned by BeckDev and the subsequently further proposed reduction to 159 apartments that council rejected.

&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=103143 project_image_fid=216319]

The Palais development application, <a href="/news/qld/beckdev-set-for-palais-coolangatta-apartment-development">which was first lodged in November 2021</a>, is earmarked for a 2,355 sqm site at 31-35 McLean Street. The site is partly occupied by the Jazzland building, a former dance hall that was the heart of the Coolangatta social scene from the 1930's until it was closed in 1951.

BeckDev will retain the heritage building’s façade as part of the development, with the hall and stage of the former Jazzland Dance Palais to be restored to its former glory.

The restoration work which will bring to life a part of Coolangatta’s history that has remained lost for more than 70 years, will incorporate the existing original materials to maintain the authenticity of the dance hall that hosted revellers from the 1930s through to the 1950s.

The Palais project also presents a significant opportunity for local business patronage in the centre of Coolangatta. Unlike the residential-zoned areas of <a href="/developments/coolangatta-qld-4225">Coolangatta</a>, such as Snapper Rocks and Rainbow Bay, which have witnessed considerable development activity in recent years, the Coolangatta centre itself has experienced relatively limited revitalisation efforts over the past decade.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=103143 project_image_fid=216320]

Among the key changes proposed by BeckDev for Palais are increased tower setbacks to the sides and rear of the development, as well as the Jazzland heritage façade, with setbacks ranging from 3.46 metres to 7.026 metres which either meet or exceed council requirements. BeckDev has also reduced the height of the podium and adjusted its setback from the heritage façade.

BeckDev Managing Director Damian Dalgleish said the&nbsp;authentic heritage restoration to the façade and hall provides a unique sense of place that celebrates the cultural heritage use of the Jazzland dance in the hall.

“Our commitment to Jazzland is saving a long forgotten past that retains and restores a heritage cultural use, that has been lost due to successive owners altering the building to suit their retail requirements with no consideration to the previous heritage values of the site," he said.

&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=103143 project_image_fid=216317]

Palais, designed by award-winning architectural firm BDA, will comprise a range of one, two, and three-bedroom residences that will take advantage of the development’s prime coastal location in the heart of Coolangatta and within close proximity to the world renowned surf beach.

The residential development offering incorporates premium residential facilities over two separate levels, including office pods, a pool, gym, theatre, private dining function rooms, kids play area and barbecue breakout areas that offer stunning views across the bay to the Surfers Paradise skyline.

“BeckDev recognises being able to live, relax and work from home with all those facilities at your fingertips is what customers are now looking for,” Dalgleish added.

BeckDev are renowned for delivering quality and landmark developments in <a href="/developments/sydney-nsw">Sydney</a> and <a href="/developments/melbourne-vic">Melbourne</a>, including one of Australia’s most important heritage building restorations at 333 Collins Street in Melbourne.

Beckdev lodge revised plans for Palais Coolangatta apartment development

Gold Coast developer S&amp;S Projects, Paul Gedeoun's development company which&nbsp;is reshaping Rainbow Bay with two striking apartment developments currently under construction and one recently completed, is set to bring a fourth project to the coastal hotspot.

S&amp;S has lodged plans with the <a href="/developments/gold-coast-qld?sort=">Gold Coast</a> City Council for <a href="/new-apartments/radia-rainbow-bay-271-boundary-street-coolangatta-qld-4225">Radia Rainbow Bay</a>, a 13-level tower with just 33 apartments at 271 Boundary Street, toward the eastern end of the sought-after street just a stone's throw from the famous Point Danger headland.

The $140 million development will follow the recently completed&nbsp;$90 million Flow residences, the sold-out $48 million Awaken which is adjacent to the new project, and $140 million <a href="/new-apartments/esprit-217-227-boundary-street-coolangatta">Esprit</a>. The latter of the two projects are currently being built.

“Our confidence in the southern Gold Coast market has never been stronger, especially at Rainbow Bay which epitomises the sophisticated beach lifestyle overlooking the region’s world-famous surf breaks and close to the vibrant heart of Coolangatta,” said Gedoun.

“Our latest project in this highly sought-after precinct is inspired by the success of our previous developments and has been designed to meet the demand we continue to experience for luxury residences in this special part of the Coast.”

<a href="/developers/ss-projects">S&amp;S Projects</a> has enlisted award-winning firm Cottee Parker Architects, the design partner for all of its Rainbow Bay developments, to create a building that responds to its laid-back coastal location, while offering generous views and privacy for residents.

The building will feature a luxury subtropical design achieved through light building materials, deep recesses and vegetation throughout built form.

<img alt="S&amp;S Projects" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="95d7a993-9ce6-41b7-a689-f0239c2c41d0" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202023-06-08%20at%208.48.28%20am.png?VersionId=xmpu.5_JuWgOWvlf4RJpNDKqOqQ.HshM" />

The boutique development will comprise eight two-bedroom apartments and 17 three- bedroom apartments, topped off by eight three-bedroom penthouses and sub-penthouses on the upper levels.

The residences will each offer generous floor plans ranging from 100 sqm to 174 sqm for the two-bedroom apartments, including balconies.

Three-bedroom residences will have living areas from 172 sqm to 255 sqm, including balconies, while sub-penthouses offer expansive spaces of between 333 sqm and 340 sqm.

Levels 11 and 12 of the development will house two sprawling penthouses of 504 sqm and 569 sqm each, including balconies, while offering spectacular coastal views high on the hill at Rainbow Bay.

Residents also will enjoy a host of amenities including a ground-floor recreation area comprising a swimming pool, outdoor dining and barbecue area, communal private dining, kitchen and wine tasting rooms, a business centre meeting room, a wellness centre and gym.

The development is located a short stroll to Rainbow Bay, Greenmount Beach and Coolangatta Beach, home to the southern Gold Coast’s thriving café culture and extensive retail facilities.

Jayde Pezet of Pezet Matheson, which has successfully marketed the three S&amp;S projects, said there was an over-subscription of buyers for luxury product in Rainbow Bay.

“We’ve had interested parties who were not able to get into Paul’s first three projects that are waiting for more quality new product to enter the market,” Pezet said.

“S&amp;S Projects has introduced a quality of product never seen before at Rainbow Bay and there is still very strong interest in luxury end user focussed product in the area.

“On that basis we’re very keen to get this project to the market subject to council approval.”

Pezet says, pending council approvals, they are anticipating an official launch by the end of this year.

Gedeoun's luxury projects, Flow and Awaken, have set a luxury and price benchmark for the southern Gold Coast which has seen affluent buyers flock to what is regarded as one of Australia’s premier north facing beaches overlooking the world famous Snapper Rocks.

Flow apartments achieved an average price record of $3.5 million per apartment while Awaken’s penthouse sold for $9 million and is heading for completion later this year.

S&S Projects has enlisted award-winning firm Cottee Parker Architects, the design partner for all of its Rainbow Bay developments, to create a building that responds to its laid-back coastal location

S&S Projects file for fourth Rainbow Bay apartment project, Radia Rainbow Bay

Marine Parade is one of the most sought-after strips in the Southern Gold Coast.

In recent years there has been the quicktime sell-out of Spyre Group's Cala Dei Residences, the 12-level project replacing the well known Komune Resort, and Joe Adsett's luxury Rockpool Rainbow Bay development.

Now there's set to be a new collection of high-end apartments at 202 Marine Parade, toward the tip of the street near Snapper Rocks and behind Rainbow Bay Surf Club.

Zone Planning Group lodged the plans on behalf of Pacific View, the developer behind Bilinga's luxury apartment project Navini.

The project will have just four apartments across an 11-level building designed by Raunik Design Group Architects.

Each unit will span two levels and feature large voids which create open plan living spaces and allow for maximum natural light. The apartments have been orientated to maximise the unobstructed views, which are on offer from every level given Marine Parade's prime ocean-facing status.

Crowning the development is a communal rooftop with a pool, barbecue area, outdoor dining space, a lounge area, as well as an observation deck that will take in the expansive surrounding views to Snapper Rocks, Rainbow Bay and the Gold Coast skyline, as well as vistas to the Tweed coastline and Hinterland.&nbsp;
