<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.

Favourable conditions in the rural property market continue in Echuca, with multiple transactions of local cropping and grazing holdings (according to a recent report by HTW.
HTW said there has been some increase in activity for horticultural holdings at levels which suggest some return to confidence albeit only for orchards featuring modern varieties which have been well managed.
"Interestingly the dairy industry has shown some activity though there have been relatively few larger scale transactions.
"Recent release of 2017/18 farm gate milk prices are closer to the long term average for most processors and it will be interesting to see what effect this price signal sends to the broader real estate market.

Favourable property market conditions continue in Echuca

<html><body>
Renovation in Echuca is generally done in lower market segments, according to recent Herron Todd White report.
The property investment firm says that most older residences are taken down to make way for new buildings.
“Renovation is generally completed in the lower market segments where the finished product will be at an affordable rate while not competing with new stock.
“Interestingly there has been limited demand for centrally located properties to be renovated with most older residences being demolished to make way for new builds.
“Longer term investors have also been known to renovate (including bathroom, kitchen and a general spruce up) basic dwellings in reasonable locations with a view to achieving a substantially higher rental based on a long term hold.
“This approach has been relatively good based on strong rental demand at the current time.
“Care needs to be taken in many instances not to over capitalise in upper market segments in order not to compete with new housing stock albeit in secondary locations,” the report stated.

Echuca renovations uncommon for higher market segments: HTW

Retail properties in Echuca can be purchased from as low as $200,000, according to a recent report by valuation firm Herron Todd White.
Echuca has stayed at the rising market position for several months now, according to HTW's property clock. 
The property investment firm says that this applies to older buildings with long-term tenants.
“Retail holdings in secondary locations can start as low as $200,000 for basic strip shops in either Echuca or Moama.
“Typically these are for older buildings with few subject to longer term tenancies (three years or less would be the norm).
“Yields ranging between 6% and 8% would be considered reasonable although owner-occupiers able to take advantage of self managed super funds may be active in the market at lower yields.
“Interestingly several development sites have transacted in the past 12 month period which may result in additional supply of rental space,” the report stated.

Echuca investors are looking for yields supplemented by capital growth, according to Herron Todd White’s latest report.
The property data firm says that centrally located residential areas are reporting superior returns.
“Typically investors in anything but central Echuca are looking for yield supplemented by capital growth rather than the other way around in our local markets.
“Changes to tax laws around depreciation have also slightly reduced the amount of items that can be claimed for dwellings in the mortgage belt.
“Nevertheless many centrally located residences are being successfully operated as short term accommodation (AirBnB and established holiday rental management companies along with privately owned and managed residences) with most reporting superior returns above and beyond permanent accommodation,” the report stated.

Echuca sees higher rental returns: HTW

<html><body>
Dryland rural properties around Echuca are set to consolidate recent gains with levels in excess of $2,500 per hectare according to Herron Todd White's rural report for June.
HTW said after a fantastic break for the rural sector, the dryland areas such gains are not uncommon in the Riverina, while grazing properties have also been relatively buoyant.
"The market for dairy properties however has been relatively quiet," he said.
"There is some uncertainty surrounding the industry with broader international market trends and agents reporting relatively limited activity."

Echuca grazing properties relatively buoyant: HTW  

<html><body>
Echuca's residential market continues to remain strong with tight supply, according to Herron Todd White’s (HTW) May report.
The property valuation firm says that the lack of supply is likely to be temporarily alleviated due to additional supply in both Moama and Echuca.
“The local market continues to be relatively strong with generally tight supply on account of limited residential land supply in the past 12 to 18 months, although this is likely to be alleviated in the short term by additional supply in both Moama and more particularly Echuca,” the report said.
“Average pricing has pushed up in recent times with good demand and limited supply in the $350,000 to $450,000 bracket resulting in an upward shift in demand for properties priced in excess of $400,000 for mortgage belt type properties.
“Melbourne buyers continue to underpin the higher end of the market with several off river sales in excess of $800,000, particularly in Moama for custom built and well finished properties.
“The buoyant agricultural sector has also been a positive for the local economy.
“A slow down in the market in Melbourne or closure of a significant factory would likely affect the higher market segments and mortgage belt segments respectively, although there is likely to be significant cushioning from any metropolitan softening because the local market has not charged ahead at the same rate, with local prices more likely to plateau.”

Echuca residential market remains strong: HTW

<html><body>
Strong demand for house and land packages in Echuca is pushing the average price for these products up, according to HTW’s Month in Review: March 2017. 
The valuation firm says there are opportunities for first time buyers in the $300,000 to $400,000 price bracket around Echuca, however the average house and land package is pushing closer to $400,000.
“Alternatives at the lower end of the market are units and town houses which are available for between $180,000 to $220,000 for basic units through to $300,000 to $375,000 for relatively modern three bedroom, two bathroom townhouses.,” the report says.
“It is worth considering the demand for rentals and potential gains from depreciation for first home buyers who may look to retain their first properties as an investment, if and when they are ready to move on.”

Prices for Echuca house and land packages rising: HTW

<html><body>
There is currently good inquiry for larger scale irrigation properties for investment entities looking at assets in excess of $10 million in Echuca, according to Herron Todd White’s latest report.
The property valuation firm says that this demand has been underpinned by the strong 2016 seasonal conditions and the good water resource position and reduced allocation water markets.
It will be interesting to see how the market responds coming out of the 2016/17 season with significantly improved balance sheets relative to 2015/16 despite disappointing grain prices.
Agents report that because of the reduced listings in south west Victoria through the latter part of 2016, the rural property market for 2017 commenced with less than usual stock of property put to the market and this has contributed to a slower than usual kick off for 2017.
There is no denying confidence continues at an all time high, particularly for beef and sheep producers.
Even the dairy industry is continuing to show signs of improving which should translate to the property market. Watch this space.
The limited market activity has been primarily either farmers over the fence expanding and investors seeking scale and quality.

Former heritage Echuca fire station for sale

<html><body>
Most agents are reporting a distinct lack of stock across the board in Echuca, but particularly in the standard $300,000 to $400,000 price bracket, according to Herron Todd White’s (HTW) latest monthly market report.
The property advisory firm said that this is having some interesting impacts on the market, including an increasing number of off market transactions as agents have buyers ready. Upward pressure on pricing and, in some instances, some increased pricing for rural residential properties in close proximity to town is also impacting the market.
One example would be a three bedroom home at <a href="https://www.realestate.com.au/property-house-vic-echuca-123670822" target="_blank">56 Simmie Street</a> (pictured above) that is for sale for $335,000.
The tighter supply conditions has been seen through most market segments with several significant larger sales which appear to have been buoyed by lower interest rates and an expectation that they will remain low in the short term.
These include several sales in excess of $1.2 million in recent times and another property which has allegedly just gone under contract for $2.75 million.
In the Sale and general Wellington areas, the $250,000 to $350,000 continues to perform consistently, according to HTW.
First home buyers and young families generally dominate this market segment, purchasing circa 1970 to 1990, three to four bedroom brick veneer properties in established locations.
The higher end properties, generally being those with asking prices over $650,000, tend to experience longer selling periods, with few buyers active in this market segment. Slowing activity in offshore and onshore gas and oil operations based in nearby Longford tends to impact this market segment.
