Lewis Land's latest apartment release within its <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/harbour-shores-biggera-waters-564-oxley-drive-biggera-waters-qld-4216">Harbour Shores</a> masterplan is targeting one of the Gold Coast's fastest-growing buyer groups, with almost a third of apartments at Solis priced below $1 million.

The seven-storey building at Biggera Waters will comprise 91 apartments, including 24 one-bedroom residences starting from $778,000, a price point Lewis Land says is aimed squarely at first home buyers struggling to enter the Gold Coast market.

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/lewis-land-group">Lewis Land</a> Head of Development Michael Long said the developer deliberately allocated a significant proportion of the project to more affordable apartment types.

"First home buyers have been priced out of many parts of the Gold Coast, and we saw a clear opportunity to address this and play our part in a longer-term housing solution," Long said.

"That's why 24 of the 91 apartments being delivered at Solis have been designed and priced for the city's next generation of homeowners, quality one-bedroom apartments, half of which include an additional multipurpose room to maximise space and flexibility.

"This approach places 30 per cent of apartments in Solis under $1 million, and with close proximity to Harbour Town's future light rail extension connecting residents to the city's major employment and knowledge hubs, it's a win for buyers looking to secure their first property."

<img alt="Sores" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="550526d3-73ba-4710-9739-c5f4294a30ef" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-07-08%20at%209.09.29%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=cQQdXHt9wS0UXwZEm5Py5bH_3kAmzyhu" />

Designed by BDA Architecture, Solis will deliver a mix of one, two and three-bedroom apartments, with residences ranging up to 232 sqm. Apartments feature generous balconies and contemporary finishes, while residents will have access to Harbour Shores' lagoon pool, clubhouse, tennis court, gym, yoga studio and sauna.

The focus on first home buyers resonated with purchaser Holly Humphreys, who said she and her boyfriend spent more than a year searching for their first property before shifting their attention from houses to apartments.

"We fell in love with the first house we bid on and got our hopes up, but after repeated knockbacks we learned not to get too attached," Humphreys said.

"We offered at the high end of price guides, but sales kept going even higher. That's where we really struggled and we needed to re-evaluate our budget and our expectations. Standalone houses were off the table, and we pivoted to apartments and townhouses."

Humphreys said it was encouraging to see developers recognising the growing demand from first home buyers.

"There's a growing number of young buyers looking to enter the market earlier because they understand that getting in now can make a real difference as prices continue to rise," she said.

"It's fantastic to see a developer recognise this and then actively take measures to deliver an apartment with us in mind."

Solis is the first development planned within the second stage of the Harbour Shores masterplan, with early works expected to commence in September 2026.

Lewis Land targets first home buyers at latest Harbour Shores release, Solis

Luxury apartment developer Abadeen has recorded $19.25 million in apartment sales across two of its Lower North Shore developments in the lead-up to the end of the financial year, headlined by the sale of a $6.75 million penthouse at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/buildings/koyo-crows-nest-5-rodborough-avenue-crows-nest-nsw-2065">KOYO in Crows Nest.</a>

The transactions also included the sale of a newly completed three-bedroom apartment at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/buildings/park-residences-cremorne-2-sutherland-street-cremorne-nsw-2090">Park Residences in Cremorne</a> for $6.35 million, with the residence selling shortly after the project's first public inspections following completion.

The sales come as completed, owner-occupier-focused apartments continue to attract strong demand across Sydney's Lower North Shore, particularly from buyers looking for certainty and immediate occupancy.

The penthouse at KOYO spans 491 sqm across a single level and was designed by architect Koichi Takada. The development is one of Abadeen's flagship boutique projects in Crows Nest.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108800 project_image_fid=370093]

Abadeen Executive Chairman and Founder Justin Brown said buyer activity lifted noticeably in the lead-up to the end of the financial year.

"We saw a clear increase in enquiry levels, inspection numbers and buyer engagement across our completed projects leading into the end of the financial year," Brown said.

"Buyers have become far more decisive over the past six months. The combination of improving confidence, limited supply and the ability to physically inspect completed residences is creating strong competition for premium apartments in the best locations."

Brown says the&nbsp;response to Park Residences following completion has been particularly strong.

"Buyers want certainty and are responding positively to the opportunity to walk through a finished product, inspect the quality firsthand and move in immediately," Brown suggested.

"Projects such as Park Residences and KOYO demonstrate that when the product is exceptional and the location is irreplaceable, buyers are prepared to act quickly."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=114246 project_image_fid=370116]

Abadeen CEO Joe Tack said quality continued to differentiate projects in the current market.

"Today's buyers are incredibly discerning," Tack said.

"They are seeking larger floorplans, premium finishes, walkability, lifestyle amenity and confidence in the developer delivering the project. Well-designed boutique developments continue to outperform because they offer something genuinely difficult to replace.

"The enquiry we are seeing across our completed and recently completed Lower North Shore portfolio is very encouraging, and we expect this momentum to continue into spring."

The sales follow increased enquiry across Abadeen's Lower North Shore portfolio which also includes <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/buildings/northcote-collective-naremburn-2-northcote-street-naremburn-nsw-2065">Northcote Collective in Naremburn</a> which also completed recently.

The City of Sydney has approved plans for <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/billbergia">Billbergia Group</a> and Metrics Credit Partners’ $3.5 billion Castlereagh Place project in the heart of the Sydney CBD

The towers will be among the tallest in <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/sydney-nsw-2000">Sydney</a>'s CBD, with more floors than any other residential tower in the city.&nbsp;

The 6,000 sqm site was acquired by the joint venture partners in 2024. It is the largest amalgamated land parcel in the Sydney CBD and comprises eight individual sites fronting Castlereagh, Pitt and Liverpool Streets.&nbsp;

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/castlereagh-place-sydney-324-348-pitt-street-sydney-nsw-2000">Castlereagh Place</a> will transform an underutilised city block into a landmark mixed-use destination, anchored by two 82-storey towers comprising 607 luxury residences above an 8-level podium housing a 209-room luxury hotel. A 1,000 square metre civic park on ground level features a curated mix of food, beverage and retail.

The plans have been refined over the past year to rebalance the residential and hotel offering, and reconfigure the retail footprint to create a stronger, more dynamic dining experience.

A three-level flagship building on the prominent corner of Pitt and Liverpool Streets will be the gateway to the Castlereagh Place lifestyle precinct. Set to become a Sydney icon, the building is capable of housing multiple hospitality venues.

“Castlereagh Place is designed to be the City's next great urban oasis - an energetic mixed-use precinct that pulses with life, day and night,"&nbsp;said Joseph Kinsella, Group Director of Billbergia.

"It will bring the vibrancy of places like Barangaroo and Darling Quarter into a more accessible, central destination at the very heart of Sydney."

Kinsella said the project will build on&nbsp;Sydney’s growing laneway culture with the City’s largest network of new activated lanes - an expanded, next-generation take on precincts like Angel Place, Palings Lane and Ash Street in Wynyard.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=134477 project_image_fid=374401]

Castlereagh Place has been designed by architects <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/fjc-studio">fjcstudio</a> in collaboration with Trias Studio, Aileen Sage and Polly Harbison Design, joint winners of an international design competition in 2018.&nbsp;

Signature design elements from the original scheme remain unchanged, while the public domain has been significantly enhanced, delivering 60 per cent more open-to-sky space.

Pedestrian access will also be enhanced through new laneways linking Pitt, Liverpool and Castlereagh Streets, drawing people into a new civic park with outdoor seating, landscaping and integrated public art.

With activated laneways supported by strong hospitality offerings, Castlereagh Place is tipped to become a vibrant new dining destination in the heart of Sydney’s CBD.

It marks the largest undertaking to date for the Billbergia and Metrics Credit Partners partnership. Together they are developing other underutilised Sydney sites into mixed-use precincts, including the $2.2 billion Concord Central and the $1.3 billion Chatswood Grand Residences.

Metrics Managing Partner and Group CEO Andrew Lockhart said Castlereagh Place is a landmark project that will redefine Sydney’s skyline.

"As the tallest residential high-rise development, the revitalised site will offer panoramic views across the CBD and surrounds. We are excited to partner with Billbergia to reinvigorate an underutilised site and create a sophisticated and contemporary mixed-use offering situated in the heart of Sydney.”

Total apartments within the towers have increased to 607 dwellings, with a focus on larger floorplans. Aligned to growing market demand, Castlereagh Place now comprises 299 three-plus-bedroom apartments, 198 two-bedroom units and 110 one-bedroom configurations.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=134477 project_image_fid=374402]

Resident amenities will include an exclusive residents club containing a gym, rooftop pool, dining rooms, co-working spaces, library, golf simulator, games room, cinema room, and access to an exclusive concierge service. There will be around 500 basement car spaces below the towers.

The development will also include a state-of-the-art wellness centre, set to feature a bathhouse with magnesium pools, hot/cold plunge pools and premium amenities.

&nbsp;

According to fjcstudio, the towers will feature distinctive yet elegant architectural design reflecting Sydney’s geometry and urban character, with a network of through-site links and intimate public spaces activating the streetscape.

"Castlereagh Place is a city-making project of significant scale and ambition," said Richard Francis-Jones, Design Director at fjcstudio.

"It will create a rich urban complex of public open spaces, landscaped gardens, and vibrant laneways. Defining these new public spaces and the important streetscape of Castlereagh Street is a sequence of fine-grained, diverse retail and hotel architecture designed in collaboration with Aileen Sage, Polly Harbison Design and Trias.

“Rising above the tree-lined, human-scale streetscape are two slender residential towers that will transform the city skyline and look towards the Harbour, Hyde Park, and the Royal Botanic Garden.”

Demolition and early construction works have commenced onsite at Castlereagh Place.

Billbergia, Metrics, approved for $3.5 billion Sydney skyscrapers

International developer&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/spg-land">SPG Land</a> is preparing to re-launch its long-awaited $1.5 billion <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/paradiso-place-surfers-paradise-103-ferny-avenue-surfers-paradise-qld-4217">Paradiso Place</a> development at Budds Beach, bringing a new price point to the Surfers Paradise apartment market.

The developer will release one-bedroom apartments from $825,000 and two-bedroom apartments from $1.24 million in the three-tower development.

According to Urbis, the starting price for the two-bedroom apartments is more than $400,000 below the weighted average sale price for comparable two-bedroom apartments in Surfers Paradise during 2025, which was pinned at $1.7 million.

&nbsp;

Urbis reported quarterly average sale prices for new two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartments ranged from around $1.2 million to $1.7 million throughout 2025, peaking in the December quarter.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=106566 project_image_fid=185853]

Paradiso Place is now moving into its formal sales campaign, with a limited early-release opportunity available ahead of the public launch.

The development will comprise 845 apartments across three towers rising 40, 41 and 44 storeys from a 1.15-hectare site spanning an entire city block. The towers will sit above a new retail precinct.

"Paradiso Place represents a rare opportunity in today's market, offering premium apartments at a price point that is significantly more competitive than anything else currently available," SPG Land Sales Director Brad McMahon said.

"When you look at comparable new developments across Surfers Paradise, Main Beach and the Southern Beaches precinct, buyers are typically paying hundreds of thousands more for a similar product.

"The scale of this project and the developer-builder construction model allows us to unlock efficiencies that smaller developments simply cannot achieve. We are passing those benefits directly to buyers, while still delivering a five-star residential experience with an unmatched lifestyle."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=106566 project_image_fid=374280]

Each of the three towers designed by Rothelowman will have its own podium, connected by an elevated skybridge network to create a beachside village for residents. The resident amenity has been designed to rival a five-star hotel, with private dining rooms, resident lounges and entertainment spaces.

McMahon said the pricing strategy was a deliberate response to the current market.

"What Paradiso Place offers is a unique balance, genuine value within a premium market. Buyers are not compromising on quality, design or amenity, they are gaining access to it at a more competitive price point at a time when prices across the Gold Coast continue to reach new highs."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=106566 project_image_fid=362498]

Located around 100 metres from the beach and within walking distance of the Surfers Paradise North light rail station, Paradiso Place occupies one of the Gold Coast's most tightly held beachfront precincts.

Construction is continuing to progress, with eight of the project's 112 foundation piles now complete. Excavation has also commenced on the first diaphragm wall panel, with the first concrete poured on 15 June, marking a key milestone in the project's early works program.

SPG Land launches $1.5 billion Paradiso Place at attractive price point

Luxury developer-builder <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/lowe-living">Lowe Living</a> has achieved a new Victorian benchmark for an off-the-plan apartment, with the sale of two penthouses at its ultra-exclusive Maison Savoy development in Brighton.

The two penthouses achieved a combined sale rate of $49,926 per sqm. Both transactions eclipsed the previous identified Victorian off-the-plan price-per-square-metre benchmark, set by the 449 sqm apartment at Como Toorak, which sold at $46,659 per sqm.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=140818 project_image_fid=366473]

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/maison-savoy-brighton-150-esplanade-brighton-vic-3186">Maison Savoy</a>, Lowe Living's redevelopment of the former Brighton Savoy Hotel on absolute beachfront land at 150 The Esplanade, Brighton, has gained significant momentum since launching just eight weeks ago. Around 30 per cent of the project's 19 residences have already been secured, generating approximately $45 million in sales.

"Securing two of the three penthouse sales at this stage, within eight weeks of launching to market speaks to the confidence our clients place in Lowe Living," Lowe Living co-founder Emma Lowe said.

"They know we'll be with them through every stage of the journey, and that assurance is something we've worked hard to earn and never take for granted."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=140818 project_image_fid=366474]

Lowe said Maison Savoy was conceived as a genuine alternative to a prestige Brighton home, combining house-scale proportions with the convenience, security and lock-up-and-leave appeal of apartment living.

Lowe Living co-founder Tim Lowe said the early sales success demonstrated the resilience of Melbourne's prestige market and highlighted the growing demand for house-sized apartments among ultra-high-net-worth buyers.

"The Melbourne market has definitely been tested in recent years, with interest rates and global economic factors all creating a period of uncertainty across the real estate sector. The sales success at Maison Savoy however demonstrates that confidence remains exceptionally strong at the top end of the market.

"The prestige market is being driven by long-term lifestyle decisions rather than short-term market sentiment, which continues to create a level of certainty that befits an absolute beachfront property in a blue-chip location like Brighton.

"Brighton's fundamentals remain among the strongest in Melbourne, with limited new supply, enduring demand from an overwhelmingly local owner-occupier market, and a rare combination of beachfront amenity and proximity to the CBD."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=140818 project_image_fid=374378]

According to Cotality, Brighton remains one of Melbourne's most tightly held prestige suburbs, with an average ownership tenure of 15.3 years for houses and 12.3 years for units, while more than 73 per cent of homes are owner-occupied.

Tim Lowe said selling two of the project's three penthouses so early in the campaign was an uncommon result.

"This sales result is a reflection of quality and understanding the local market. It's incredibly rare to transact the penthouses so early in a sales campaign in any project so to have sold two of the three penthouses at Maison Savoy so soon after launch, all in-house without any external sales agency appointed, is reflective of our careful consideration of our buyers' needs and lifestyle.

"This is knowledge that is accumulated not just from data and demographic analysis, but via a deeply embedded understanding of how this type of buyer wants to live and feel in their home. We pride ourselves on getting to know our clients personally, and over the last 10 years we have been able to refine our product offering by talking one-on-one with our clients about their design and floorplan preferences.

"Being a fully integrated developer-builder with an in-house design and sales team allows us to lead every part of the process and ensure the highest quality of product and service at every touchpoint. It's a really important part of our DNA and the recent sales success at Maison Savoy indicates that our clients and purchasers are resonating with this point of difference.

"It reinforces that demand remains strong for thoughtfully designed residences that offer rarity, lifestyle and long-term value in tightly held locations, which ultimately validates Maison Savoy's positioning as creating a new benchmark for house-scale, wellness-led apartment living on Brighton's beachfront."

&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=140818 project_image_fid=366480]

The residences at Maison Savoy start from 295 sqm, with most enjoying uninterrupted views across Port Phillip Bay. The project sits moments from the Brighton Bathing Boxes, Royal Brighton Yacht Club, Middle Brighton Baths and Church Street's retail and dining precinct.

A key feature of the development is its private residents-only bathhouse, curated by the founder of Aurora Spa &amp; Bathhouse and modelled on traditional European bathing rituals and the award-winning Sorrento bathhouse.

The wellness offering includes a hydrotherapy pool, salt room, sauna, steam room, cold plunge pool, foot activation zone and a Vichy rainfall bed, one of only a handful in Australia. Residents will also have access to a Technogym studio, lounge spaces and a dedicated concierge service offering everything from morning coffee delivery and restaurant bookings to dry cleaning and home coordination.

"Wellness-led design has become a defining factor for luxury buyers," Emma Lowe said.

"Purchasers increasingly value homes that enhance wellbeing through thoughtful design, private amenity, privacy and liveability."

The penthouse purchasers are now undertaking a bespoke customisation process curated personally by architect Pete Kennon and the Lowe Living team, one of the developer's signature service offerings.

Construction on the $160 million transformation of the former Brighton Savoy Hotel site commenced last month, with completion expected in early 2028. The project has secured funding from NAB alongside development partner Monark.

Just one penthouse remains available, along with a limited number of two and three-bedroom residences starting from $3.75 million.

Lowe Living currently has eight projects on the market across Melbourne and recently celebrated its 10th anniversary, having grown a $1 billion development pipeline alongside a $350 million construction pipeline.

Lowe Living set new Melbourne off the plan apartment record

Gold Coast off the plan apartments

Gold Coast development partners Tim Gordon and Bruce Mathieson have revealed their latest project, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/elle-on-jefferson-palm-beach-62-64-jefferson-lane-palm-beach-qld-4221">Elle on Jefferson</a>, and at the same time announced the start of construction of the coastal project.

Early works are underway at the prime Jefferson Lane site that will host 58 apartments across an 11-storey building when completed in mid-2027.. The apartments&nbsp;will be released to the market in stages as the building rises just metres from the beachfront and the neighbouring Pavilions Palm Beach retail precinct.

Elle on Jefferson follows the development duo’s success at The Spit, where their $400 million ultra-luxe The Mantaray Marina &amp; Residences, celebrated its topping out in August.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=147111 project_image_fid=351540]

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/gordon-corp">Gordon Corp</a> Director Tim Gordon said the local Palm Beach market was ‘very in tune’ with the opportunity.

“Jefferson Lane is a prized location because of its proximity to the beachfront, dining and retail,” Gordon said.

“What we’re delivering with Elle on Jefferson is a complete lifestyle offering, combining one of the Coast’s most tightly held addresses with the confidence that construction is already underway. That certainty is what gives buyers assurance, and it’s why demand has been so strong."

Gordon said luxury isn’t just about location, it’s in the detail.

"We’ve partnered with Cottee Parker to deliver a design outcome that prioritises wellness and liveability, ensuring Elle reflects the elevated approach our buyers expect."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=147111 project_image_fid=350658]

Bruce Mathieson Jnr. said the growing waitlist for the first release of apartments was a strong endorsement of the project’s exceptional location, design and early commencement of construction.

“Our family’s partnership with Tim Gordon has always been about backing A-grade projects on the Gold Coast,” Mathieson said.

“Elle brings confidence to the market by combining quality design with the certainty of delivery that comes with an expert construction team. It’s exactly the kind of project the city needs as it grows, and we’re proud to support it.”

Gordon Corp Sales and Marketing Director, Lara Dimond, said the strong level of enquiries were dominated by local owner-occupiers.

“Buyers have been telling us they want apartments that feel like real homes, not generic offerings. That’s why we’ve refined every detail with our interiors team, led by Sue Hiscox, to offer spacious master suites, generous robes and ensuites, and kitchens and living areas that maximise the ocean views."

Dimond says this approach extends through the two and three-bedroom floor plans and into the resident amenities, which include a 15-metre lap pool, sauna and steam rooms, hot and cold plunge pools, and a high-end gymnasium.

“The architecture has been carefully considered to deliver both privacy and a sense of retreat, within a vibrant coastal precinct. It has been curated for those ready to downsize without compromise.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=147111 project_image_fid=350659]

Elle on Jefferson is being delivered by the group’s own construction arm, Gordon Corp Construction, drawing on trusted partnerships that have been in place for more than 30 years.

“Gordon Corp Construction is built on decades of trusted relationships,” Gordon said.

“We’ve combined our development expertise with an exceptional network of long-term partners, ensuring our projects meet the highest standards of quality and integrity.”

Recent data shows that Gold Coast is now the most expensive place in southeast Queensland to build high-rise developments, largely due to increasing construction prices driven by labour shortages and the cost of building materials.

Two-bedroom apartments at Elle on Jefferson are priced from $1.75 million. Three-bedroom residences start from $3.1 million.

Joint venture partners&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/amalgamated-property-group">Amalgamated Property Group</a>&nbsp;(APG)&nbsp;and&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/base-developments">Base Developments</a>&nbsp;have kicked off construction&nbsp;on its second Gold Coast apartment tower, Affinity Broadbeach, which is due for completion in early 2028.

More than 50 per cent of the 180 two- and three-bedroom apartments have sold, with buyers particularly impressed by&nbsp;the spacious and functional floor plans, close proximity to the beach, premium inclusions, and expansive resort-style amenities.

APG has just released a new limited collection of three-bedroom skyhomes with three living rooms and four bathrooms.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=107690 project_image_fid=323744]

Graham Potts, Principal and Founding Director Amalgamated Property Group, said the strong demand for <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/affinity-broadbeach-40-46-chelsea-avenue-broadbeach-qld-4218">Affinity Broadbeach</a> highlights a genuine need for affordable luxury residential developments on the Gold Coast.&nbsp;

“It’s exciting to see construction kick off on this sought-after project which is set to create a new benchmark in luxe coastal living on the Gold Coast," Potts said.

"Buyers are attracted by the seamless blend of convenience and elegance that Affinity offers, together with the knowledge that our 20-years of industry experience ensures we continue to deliver homes to the same high standards our reputation has been built on."

Capital Construction Queensland, the inhouse construction arm of APG, is handling the building. Potts says having the internal build capability provides buyers with confidence in delivering a high-quality building, referencing Amaya Broadbeach which is nearing completion nearby.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=107690 project_image_fid=323199]

Carly Cottam, CEO of <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/project-marketer/motiv">MOTIV</a> Group which is selling Affinity, says there's a clear undersupply of property across Southeast Queensland and an even greater shortage of well-designed, spacious residences.

"That’s why Affinity has attracted such strong demand," Cottam says.

"Every detail, from the intricate finishes to the intelligent spatial planning, has been crafted for the discerning owner-occupier. Beyond the residences, the amenity is designed as a true extension of the home."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=107690 project_image_fid=6678]

Affinity’s superior amenities are resonating with buyers who are impressed by the range on offer, from the expansive outdoor heated pool, to the state-of-the-art gym, steam and sauna facilities, outdoor entertaining terraces, and a business centre.

"The offering reflects exactly what buyers are seeking when right-sizing or upgrading - spacious residences complemented by curated residential amenity, all within moments of the beach and vibrant retail and dining precincts,” Cottam added.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=107690 project_image_fid=6676]

Dennis Milin, Principal of Base Developments and Milin Builders, and Director of Capital Constructions Queensland, said the team is excited to deliver another collection of premium homes in the heart of Broadbeach.

"With more than three decades of proven success in construction and development, our award-winning portfolio across the ACT and NSW speaks for itself, now further demonstrated by the strong progress at Amaya Broadbeach on First Avenue in Queensland,"&nbsp;Milin said.

“In partnership with a highly regarded team of designers, engineers and trades, and supported by our experienced Gold Coast construction professionals, we remain committed to delivering projects defined by quality, timeless design and uncompromising standards."

Early works at Affinity are already advancing, with guide walls for shoring and bulk excavation underway.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=107690 project_image_fid=323196]

With a proven track record in large premium projects, APG has been developing residential and commercial property across Australia for more than 20 years. APG and Base Developments are the same duo behind the successful Amaya Broadbeach, currently under construction on First Avenue and due for completion in early 2026, as well as a number of other successful joint developments in Canberra, including Botanical in Turner, Kiara in Narrabundah, Ivy in Woden, and the three-tower Oaks precinct in Phillip.

APG is currently building <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/the-eastbourne-on-commonwealth-park-62-constitution-avenue-parkes-act-2600">The Eastbourne</a>, 349 homes, a premium office building, and a retail and dining precinct at ANZAC Park East.

Amalgamated Property Group and Base kick off construction at Affinity Broadbeach

The small southern Gold Coast suburb of Bilinga rarely sees new apartment developments.

The last launch was Pipis in late 2023 — a boutique project of just 19 half- and full-floor beachfront apartments. Opportunities to buy into a development with more affordable configurations are few and far between.

Enter <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/bilinga-house-107-golden-four-drive-bilinga-qld-4225">Bilinga House</a> — 47 two- and three-bedroom apartments priced from just under $1.2 million.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=150037 project_image_fid=5336]

Developed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/centa-property-group">Centa Property Group</a>, Bilinga House is located on Golden Four Drive, just 200 metres from Bilinga Beach.

Designed by renowned architecture firm <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/rothelowman">Rothelowman</a>, the five-storey building embraces a soft, neutral palette to maximise natural light and capture sea breezes. Floorplans feature generous built-in storage, contemporary kitchens, and master suites with ensuites.

Residents will enjoy access to a pool, gym, and sauna, along with professional onsite management. Each apartment includes at least one secure basement car space.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=150037 project_image_fid=5335]

Location is one of Bilinga House’s biggest drawcards. The fact that it’s not absolute beachfront means pricing is considerably more affordable. Many apartments still offer beach and ocean views, and the sand is just a short 200-metre stroll away.

Another bonus for off the plan buyers is the proposed Stage 4 extension of the Gold Coast Light Rail, which will run along Golden Four Drive to Coolangatta and Kirra — arguably the most transformed pocket of the southern Gold Coast over the past five years. Bilinga House is also just a short walk from the North Kirra Surf Life Saving Club.

The line will also connect to Broadbeach, Surfers Paradise, Main Beach, and as far north as Helensvale, where there’s a train link to Brisbane.

Construction will be undertaken by renowned builder <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/builders/greyburn">Greyburn</a>, with completion targeted for late 2027.

Bilinga House launches in booming southern Gold Coast pocket

The surge in affordability-led developments in Palm Beach is continuing with the recent launch of Corallo, where prices start from just over $800,000.

International developer&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/changfa-group">Changfa</a>&nbsp;has tapped into a pocket of relative affordability to the west of the Gold Coast Highway, where apartments can be sold at considerably lower price points than on the eastern side of the Gold Coast Highway.

Coralla, at 5 Palm Beach Avenue, just 130 metres to the beach, will rise 21 storeys and home 105 one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments, as well as four exclusive penthouses. Several of the one and two-beds offer an additional study.

&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112194 project_image_fid=808]

Designed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/plus-architecture">Plus Architecture</a>, Corallo brings together soft coastal materials and sculptural forms to deliver a distinctly contemporary interpretation of beachside living.&nbsp;

Interiors are anchored by a refined natural palette, with fluted stone island benches, engineered timber flooring, and brushed copper finishes.&nbsp;Buyers can select from two interior schemes, each designed to suit both owner-occupier preferences and long-term coastal durability.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112194 project_image_fid=799]

The four penthouses each span two levels and offer nearly 330 sqm of indoor and outdoor living. They feature rooftop terraces with private plunge pools,&nbsp;outdoor kitchens, and fire pit areas.

&nbsp;

The resident amenity is being positioned on level two, looking across to the beach opposite. That will feature a&nbsp;wet-edge pool, cold plunge, gym, sauna, steam room, yoga deck, fire pit and day beds.&nbsp;

A residents lounge and work-from-home zones are located on Level 3, while five commercial tenancies at podium level introduce retail and dining options to the corner of Palm Beach Avenue and the Gold Coast Highway.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112194 project_image_fid=814]

Corallo enters the <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/palm-beach-qld-4221">Palm Beach</a> market at a time of renewed focus on owner-occupier-driven design and lifestyle amenity. The suburb has seen increasing demand from downsizers and local buyers seeking proximity to the beach, walkable dining, and low-maintenance living without compromising on space.

The development’s location places residents within walking distance of Tallebudgera Creek, Burleigh Heads village, Currumbin Alley and Palm Beach Currumbin High School. The Gold Coast Airport is under 10 minutes away, enhancing appeal for both owner-occupiers and short-stay users.

Brisbane-based developer and builder, Gardner Vaughan Group, is expanding its foothold across South East Queensland.

Already one of the most established builder-developers in both Brisbane and the Sunshine Coast, Gardner Vaughan is now making its move into the Gold Coast.&nbsp;

They've secured a site on Mawarra Street on Chevron Island, and will soon submit plans for <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/bronze-on-chevron-8-mawarra-street-surfers-paradise-qld-4217">Bronze on Chevron</a>,&nbsp;119 apartments tailored for the modern coastal lifestyle.

The project, due to launch in early 2026, includes a curated selection of one-, two-, three-, and four-bedroom apartments.&nbsp;Two ground-floor retail tenancies will complement the vibrant village atmosphere of Chevron Island.

Designed with downsizers in mind, Bronze on Chevron&nbsp;will reflect GVG’s signature focus on quality, livability, and enduring design, principles that have earned the company a loyal following throughout the Sunshine Coast, Brisbane and Moreton Bay regions.

“Our entry into the Gold Coast is both a strategic and natural evolution of our business,” said Simon Betteridge, Chief Executive Officer of GVG.

“We’ve long admired the Gold Coast’s lifestyle offering, cultural vibrancy and strong demand for thoughtfully designed homes. We’re excited to bring our approach to development into this dynamic market.”

GVG’s move into the Gold Coast builds on the success of a series of landmark developments across South East Queensland including Zinc in Bokarina, Renovaré in Yeronga, Estilo on the Park in Chermside, and Stonebrook in Stones Corner.

With a fully integrated in-house model - managing everything from site acquisition through to construction and sales - GVG has built a reputation for reliability and proudly maintains a 100% project completion rate.

“We’re not just entering a new postcode - we’re becoming part of a new neighbourhood,” added Betteridge.

“Our goal is to create places people are proud to call home, and we’re looking forward to working closely with local stakeholders to deliver on that promise.”

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/bassar-group">Bassar Group</a> has been given the green light by the Gold Coast City Council for Avva Broadbeach, a 33-level tower that will introduce 56 half and full-floor apartments to one of the area’s most in-demand coastal precincts.

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/avva-19-anne-avenue-broadbeach-qld-4218">Avva</a> marks the developer’s next move in Broadbeach following the success of Infinity, which sold out before construction completed in 2023.

Designed again by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/bda-architecture">BDA Architecture</a>, Avva will deliver two expansive 166 sqm apartments per floor, each offering three bedrooms, catering to the growing owner-occupier segment seeking generous layouts in prime beachside locations.

Sales will kick off early next year, after construction has commenced.

<img alt="First look: Bassar Group plot next Broadbeach tower" data-entity-type="" data-entity-uuid="" src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/f_auto,c_limit,w_1440,q_auto/https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/field/image/Screenshot%202025-02-28%20at%202.05.20%E2%80%AFPM.png?VersionId=dV3x91xH8xvn3Arl5LktpKnCVHjNQlQH" />

Bassar Group Director Leo Sarris announced the approval, expressing pride in adding to the suburb he calls home. “These 56x3 bedroom, 2 per floor apartments will be a wonderful addition to an otherwise amazing suburb I'm so proud to call home,” Sarris said.

Avva’s design language embraces a modernist approach, featuring angular expressions and a striking tower form intended to resonate with the coastal context. BDA Architecture describes the building’s silhouette as “visually interesting angles to passers-by,” creating movement and depth on the streetscape.

Residents will have access to a range of lifestyle amenities integrated across the podium levels. Plans include a lap pool with day beds, a wellness area with gym, yoga deck, hot and cold plunge pools, as well as sauna and steam room facilities.

Replacing the 1970s MaxMar apartment block at 19 Anne Avenue, the project site was amalgamated by GV Property Group’s Luke Reaby, who brought together eight individual owners across a 1,032 sqm parcel.

Sarris previously told Apartments.com.au that the goal was to offer large, functional apartments without overcomplicating the product, helping to keep prices competitive amid a more cautious market environment.

With demand from southern state buyers now tapering compared to the COVID-era surge, Avva is expected to attract predominantly local interest, aligning with current shifts toward owner-occupier-led apartment living on the Gold Coast.

In a record-breaking deal that underscores the strength of the Gold Coast luxury market, Queensland developer <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/sherpa-property-group">Sherpa Property Group</a> has shattered the Chevron Island price record with the $10 million-plus off the plan sale of a penthouse at its <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/perspective-helm-107-stanhill-drive-chevron-island-qld-4217">Perspective Helm</a> development.&nbsp;

With Penthouse 10 now sold, only Penthouse 9 remains available in the boutique block of 10.

The record-breaking sale surpasses the previous <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/chevron-island-qld-4217">Chevron Island</a> high of $9 million, achieved by the Chevron One penthouse in 2022.&nbsp;

The buyers of Penthouse 10 are private residents from Brisbane.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=143018 project_image_fid=313578]

Sherpa’s founder Christie Leet said the sale reinforces the scale, exclusivity, and prestige of Perspective Helm, located in one of the Gold Coast’s most tightly held waterfront precincts.

“We’ve seen strong momentum for sales at Perspective Helm, with 90% of residences now sold, and to have secured a contract on one of the penthouses is a significant milestone,” said Leet.

“This result not only reflects the extraordinary calibre of Perspective Helm but also demonstrates ongoing buyer confidence and the robust demand for premium property across the Gold Coast.”

Leet said releasing Penthouse 9 to the market represents a rare chance to secure one of the most significant residences ever delivered on Chevron Island.&nbsp;

“It’s the last opportunity to own a residence of this calibre in what is arguably one of the most coveted waterfront addresses on the Gold Coast,” said Leet.&nbsp;

“We don’t expect Penthouse 9 to remain available for long; there is nothing comparable on the market right now.”&nbsp;

&nbsp;

Penthouse 9, priced at $9.99 million,&nbsp;spans 793 sqm across two levels. It will have four bedrooms and four bathrooms, as well as a powder room, a cinema, a multipurpose room, and a four-car lock-up garage. There is also a 60-foot private Marina Berth included.&nbsp;

Designed for upscale entertaining, the penthouses boast indoor and outdoor living spaces, featuring a fully equipped outdoor kitchen, barbecue, private pool, pizza oven, and fire pit.

&nbsp;

“Every detail of these penthouses has been meticulously crafted to offer an indulgent lifestyle, where effortless luxury meets serene sophistication,” Leet added. &nbsp;

Perspective Helm is currently under construction and is scheduled to be completed in October 2025.

One of the Gold Coast’s most significant master-planned projects has been given the green light to proceed, with the Gold Coast Turf Club, in partnership with Aquis Australia, forging ahead with its billion-dollar lifestyle precinct following a positive resolution with community stakeholders.&nbsp; 
&nbsp; 
Originally <a href="/news/qld/gold-coast-turf-club-redevelopment-given-the-all-clear">approved by Council in August 2024</a>, the development, delivered under the Sunlight Lifestyle Precinct banner, is a joint venture between the Gold Coast Turf Club and Aquis.&nbsp; 
&nbsp; 
Sunlight Lifestyle Precinct will transform approximately two hectares of land adjacent to the Turf Club into a <a href="/new-apartments/lots-3-4-racecourse-drive-2-ascot-court-bundall">vibrant mixed-use destination</a> featuring residential, retail and elevated entertainment offerings.&nbsp;

<img alt="Turf Club" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="1188b053-7065-4922-830a-f56e728f535e" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202025-07-02%20at%209.54.41%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=gaPO3LFzIpKlhs1kLrBIW4vWkYWry1z_" /> 
&nbsp; 
The announcement marks a new and exciting phase for the Turf Club, following a series of recent infrastructure upgrades, including a major track redevelopment and the introduction of night racing, setting the stage for the next evolution of the entertainment precinct.&nbsp; 
&nbsp; 
“This is a fantastic outcome for the Gold Coast,” said Steve Lines, CEO of the Gold Coast Turf Club.&nbsp; 
&nbsp; 
“We’ve taken a careful, considered approach from day one, and the outcome reflects that.&nbsp; 
&nbsp; 
“This has never been about moving fast. It’s about doing it properly, and with the community beside us. To have that support, and the backing of Gold Coast City Council and the State Government, gives us the confidence to now take the next step.”

<img alt="Steve Lines &amp; John Fung" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="71ff5879-6a64-469a-81ef-7809209980d1" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Steve%20Lines%20%26%20John%20Fung.png?VersionId=0vHUYvhKsVz2wliQFR0V7S.fqlfvGRQ5" />

The masterplan – designed in collaboration with international and local experts, including Woods Bagot – will include short-stay accommodation, apartments, wellness and fitness spaces, market-style food and retail, rooftop pools, sky gardens, and immersive tropical gardens. &nbsp; 
&nbsp; 
The precinct is designed to complement the Turf Club’s vision to create a world-class entertainment precinct in the cultural heart of the city.&nbsp; 
&nbsp; 
The project is being led by John Fung, son of Aquis founder Mr Tony Fung, who will now oversee the delivery of Sunlight&nbsp; 
&nbsp; 
“We’re incredibly proud to be part of such a transformative vision,” Mr Fung.&nbsp; 
&nbsp; 
“Sunlight will be more than a precinct; it’s a chance to create a lasting destination that captures the spirit of the Gold Coast. Our team is energised and working closely with the Turf Club to take the project to market.”

&nbsp; 
The Turf Club extended a special thanks to the City of Gold Coast and the Queensland Government for their continued support throughout the appeal process. &nbsp; 
&nbsp; 
“We’re proud to have resolved matters in a way that satisfies our local stakeholders and allows us to move forward with certainty,” Lines added.&nbsp; 
&nbsp; 
“The support from the community has been excellent. Everyone’s aligned, the wheels are now turning, and we are looking forward to delivering a truly world-class community asset that will generate hundreds of millions of dollars for the Gold Coast.”&nbsp; 
&nbsp; 
With key approvals now in place and only minor planning refinements remaining, preparations are progressing for a formal public launch of the project.&nbsp; 
&nbsp; 
“Sunlight will be a place to live, stay, visit and play – and it’s unlike anything currently on offer in this part of the Gold Coast,” said Fung.&nbsp; 
&nbsp; 
“We look forward to revealing more soon.”

Community stakeholder resolution paves way for new multi-billion dollar Gold Coast Turf Club precinct

The first Queensland budget under the Crisafulli Government places a strong emphasis on housing, with several major policies aimed at shifting from short-term fixes to long-term structural reform.

Treasurer David Janetzki described the housing package as part of a “fresh start,” focused on restoring affordability, boosting supply, and promoting economic security through increased home ownership.

Among the headline initiatives is the $165 million “Boost to Buy” scheme, a shared equity program that will provide up to 30 per cent equity for new homes (and 25 per cent for existing homes) valued up to $1 million. The scheme is open to households earning up to $225,000 and is designed to reduce the deposit burden for first home buyers. Registrations of interest open from 1 July 2025.

This initiative complements the extension of the $30,000 First Home Owner Grant until June 2026, applicable to new builds, and comes alongside the abolition of stamp duty for first home buyers purchasing a new home.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=109146 project_image_fid=1015]

REIQ CEO Antonia Mercorella said broadening the ‘Boost to Buy’ scheme was a smart, timely step to match market conditions and help more Queenslanders take their first step into home ownership.

“We called for expanded access to shared equity because we know high deposit hurdles are keeping aspiring buyers from getting onto the property ladder,” Mercorella said.

“With suitable income eligibility thresholds of $225,000 for couples and $150,000 for singles and a statewide property value cap of $1&nbsp;million, the scheme reflects modern property prices across Queensland and makes it the most attractive in the nation."

In Greater Brisbane, the annual median house price is $895,000, and in the Brisbane LGA it's $1.21 million. Even for units, annual median unit prices are $770,000 and $735,000 for the Gold Coast and Sunshine Coast respectively.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=113271 project_image_fid=290045]

“The generous cap ensures the scheme is relevant in all corners of our state including high-demand areas like Brisbane, the Gold Coast, and Sunshine Coast, where the median house price now sits above $1 million. Without this adjustment, the scheme risked being out of touch with the reality faced by many first home buyers today.

“With limited placements and a strict focus on first home buyers, this is a measured and proportionate support mechanism. It represents a small share of overall market activity, is unlikely to distort demand, and may assist in rebalancing housing pressure by helping some renters transition into ownership."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=136432 project_image_fid=604]

Property Investment Professionals of Australia (PIPA) Chair Nicola McDougall praised the package as a market-aware and practical approach.

“Helping Queenslanders achieve property ownership was front and centre in the 2025–26 State Budget,” McDougall said.

“The Boost to Buy scheme and enhanced grants are pragmatic and market-aligned initiatives. The property price and income thresholds are more in line with market and economic realities, clearly indicating that the Queensland Government is serious about addressing the housing crisis and helping more young people achieve property ownership.”

Beyond direct buyer support, the Budget commits $2 billion to the Residential Activation Fund, with $1 billion allocated in the first year. This fund is aimed at fast-tracking trunk infrastructure, like water, power, and transport connections, for shovel-ready housing developments in both infill and greenfield areas.

The government has also earmarked $5.6 billion for new social and community housing, with a target of 53,500 new homes by 2044, and is investing $31.3 million in 13 new Regional Plans to support projected population growth and urban planning coordination.

McDougall highlighted the importance of long-term investor participation in underpinning Queensland’s rental housing supply.

“PIPA welcomes the opportunity to discuss policies that will not only encourage more property investors into the market but also motivate them to stay for the long-term,” she said.

“Removing stamp duty disparities between owner-occupiers and investors, and updating land tax thresholds to match today’s values, would be simple but powerful next steps.”

Boost to Buy: Queensland Budget targets first home buyers in high-price market

Builder-developer 5Point has received an unprecedented uplift at its under-construction luxury new Palm Beach apartment development, Ophira Palm Beach.

The significant planning approval allows 5Point to increase the building height and add another two full-floor apartments to the exclusive development on the Jefferson Lane beachfront, enhancing what was already one of the most anticipated absolute beachfront apartment offerings on the southern Gold Coast with sales prices averaging in excess of $7 million.

When first launched last year, five of the then-eight apartments were snapped up within just a few months, by local downsizers.

Only one of the full-floor apartments remains for sale, with the two-level penthouse currently under negotiation.

<img alt="web living" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="abc1eef9-cde1-4b56-af4d-b3e43403ab60" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/WEB_type_b_living___dining_ophira_option_1_3D_render_by_VV.jpg?VersionId=WHQyVek5KPIeBIyCyJ1oD51ovuSM_mKR" />

5Point Projects Managing Director Damian Dove said the uplift was a major milestone for Ophira and 5Point, demonstrating that when the Gold Coast City Council’s strategic planning guidelines have been met, there is an acceptance for this type of development along the coastline.

“We had gone for low density, low occupancy in the original scheme,” Dove says, adding that it was their plan to go for the uplift to 12 levels.

“We were confident that if the building was designed for the downsizer in the luxury market space we would be able to meet city plan’s framework objective.”

Dove believes the approval will sit as a benchmark for what the local council and community will accept for future development along the beach.

“I am hopeful that Palm Beach will benefit as a result whereby great design and planning will continue to enhance the beachfront landscape.”

<img alt="Ophira" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="b135701f-aa1e-467d-a666-f5ec112f8010" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202025-06-18%20at%203.06.03%E2%80%AFPM.png?VersionId=QtvRNlHySLdvGnnV0Y8hhbi91gU8zvWW" />

Each full-floor residence will offer between 294 sqm to 322 sqm of internal and external living space, including balconies with uninterrupted ocean views. They will have three ensuited bedrooms, display wine storage, and a scullery off the kitchen.

Ophira’s two-level penthouse will deliver 516 sqm of internal and external living space, comprising four bedrooms, four-and-a-half bathrooms, and its own private lift, bar and outdoor entertainment area featuring a pool, sauna, and sundeck.

Dove says the strong sales received to date is a testament to the design by BDA, the clever configurations of the floorplans to hero the beachfront setting, and the timeless luxury architectural fixtures and finishes.

“As with each of our projects, we wanted to create something that differentiated itself from the market," Dove said.

“We are passionate about creating spaces that resonate with the unique essence of Palm Beach while meeting the evolving needs of modern living."

<img alt="Superman" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="519e4360-f8a1-420d-a776-fd9e5293b617" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/WEB_superman_ophira_3D_render_by_VV.jpg?VersionId=9Www51ROXAiqgI.oDQuELXRjdko6AtmP" />

Since bringing development in-house to their already well-established construction business, 5Point has a proven capability and success. They have over $160 million of apartments under contract on Jefferson Lane alone.

Their second Jefferson Lane development, Palm Shores, just 400 metres up the road from Ophira, sold eight of its 16 residences in just four weeks. Now 12 have sold, leaving just four remaining, including a unique four-bedroom two-level beach home that offers direct beach access.
