Around 400 additional homes could be built at Southwark Grounds on Port Road, lifting total site capacity from 1300 to around 1700 dwellings.

A recently approved code amendment would allow apartment towers of up to 14 storeys in some areas of Renewal SA’s redevelopment of the former West End Brewery.

Renewal SA Acting Chief Executive Shane Wingard said he welcomed the code amendment, with the increase in heights and homes making a positive impact on the supply of high-quality, well-connected housing close to the city.

“By going higher across some parts of Southwark Grounds, we are adding a substantial number of very well-located homes with little impact on project delivery time or planned open space,” Mr Wingard said.

Since the project officially launched in 2025, Mr Wingard said more than 12,000 enquiries had been received about living at Southwark Grounds.

“The very strong early interest we’ve seen since homes were first released in the precinct reinforces our plans to create more housing opportunities,” he said.

The Southwark Grounds code amendment was launched in December last year, with community engagement undertaken over five weeks from January.

It proposed increasing maximum building heights from eight to 14 storeys on the eastern section of Southwark Grounds, and to 12 storeys across the remainder of the site, with minimum building heights ranging from two to four storeys.

The code amendment was implemented through an Early Commencement policy in late January, allowing developers to quickly explore the viability of increased height and housing yield while other planning processes continue.

One of the first developers delivering apartment sites have already finalised redesigns to increase the number of apartments following the code amendment.

Samaras’ development adjacent to the future Colonel Light Park is now planning to deliver 125 apartments across 11 storeys, significantly greater than original plans of around 50 apartments across four storeys.

The developer is also exploring the potential for additional affordable housing outcomes.

Most of the apartments at Southwark Grounds will be delivered within a master-planned precinct on a large parcel of land on the eastern portion of the site, covering around two-thirds of its 8.4 hectares.

Wingard said detailed precinct planning over the coming months may identify further opportunities to increase yield further that could see total apartment numbers at Southwark Grounds, exceed this number.

Affordable homes at Southwark Grounds will also see a net increase, with Renewal SA maintaining its commitment to a minimum of 20 per cent affordable housing across the development.

&nbsp;

&nbsp;

Civil works have begun across the site, with construction under way on the first new roads surrounding a townhouse precinct in the south‑west corner of Southwark Grounds. This includes Renewal SA’s 17 Founder’s Row homes, which are on track for completion by Christmas.

“We expect to have people living at Southwark Grounds by the end of the year, so delivering roads and public spaces for those residents is among our highest priorities.”

Construction of 40 townhouses off Anderson Street, known as West Village and being delivered by Contour, is forecast to begin in mid‑2026. Kolabb’s Anderson Lane development will follow shortly after, delivering a further 26 townhouses.

Southwark Grounds is a state government‑led urban renewal project now set to deliver around 1,700 homes over the next decade.

Homes will be supported by a supermarket, a range of retail and hospitality offerings anchored by a revitalised Walkerville Brew Tower, a childcare centre, car parking and well‑connected public spaces.

400 new homes planned for Adelaide's former West End Brewery site

Brisbane developer&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/cavcorp">Cavcorp</a> has lodged plans for a new mixed-use residential development at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/55-wyandra-street-teneriffe-qld-4005">55 Wyandra Street</a>, Teneriffe, anchored by an 85-metre public laneway designed to reconnect the suburb’s riverfront with the Gasworks precinct.

The buildings, known as Teneriffe House and Teneriffe Lane, would replace the existing Queensland Cotton head office site with a 15-storey residential tower transitioning to eight storeys toward Helen Street. The project has been designed by Plazibat Architects and lodged as a code assessable development application for 93 apartments across a 3,401 sqm mixed-use site within the Newstead and Teneriffe Waterfront neighbourhood plan.

Central to the scheme is the transformation of an existing service easement into a publicly accessible cross-block connection linking Wyandra and Helen Streets. Cavcorp says the new laneway will act as both a pedestrian shortcut and a landscaped civic space between the Teneriffe Riverwalk, ferry terminal, and Gasworks precinct.

<img alt="First Look: Cavcorp unveils Teneriffe House and Teneriffe Lane plans for landmark wellness tower in Teneriffe" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="26e7f058-b065-4de8-b13d-a2b8cb64dfcc" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/bldg.png?VersionId=sELS0ZKYi361oYipUa1BIKfe_.DLZoFV" />

“The revised proposal delivers a legacy public-realm cross-block link, permanently secured for community use, transforming an existing private easement into a safe, high-quality pedestrian connection between the Teneriffe heritage riverwalk and the Gasworks–Long Island precinct,” the planning report states.

The laneway will sit beneath a large subtropical loggia integrated into the podium levels of the development. The design incorporates deep landscaping, water gardens, lobby spaces, business lounges, and ground-floor apartments to create what Cavcorp describes as a climate-responsive “urban verandah.”

The tower itself has been designed as a slender form with recessed floorplates and curved translucent corners inspired by contemporary Japanese architecture. The building height aligns with the Commercial Road precinct controls, which permit towers up to 15 storeys within proximity to Longland Street.

The project will comprise a mix of larger-format apartments aimed at owner-occupiers, downsizers, and families. The proposed apartment mix includes 11 loggia apartments across the lower levels, 50 four-bedroom Sky-Terrace apartments from levels three to seven, and 32 Sky-Pool Homes occupying the upper tower levels. The Sky-Pool Homes will feature private thermal plunge pools integrated into oversized balconies.

According to the application, the apartments are intended to reinterpret the scale and character of Teneriffe’s woolstore conversions and Queensland homes within a vertical residential format.

“The sky-pool homes build on Cavcorp’s previous projects and introduce a distinct apartment typology to Teneriffe, informed by both local and international precedent and responding to an identified market demand for enhanced safety, space and amenity,” the planning submission notes.

A major focus of the proposal is its five-level wellness and lifestyle offering, extending from the basement through to the rooftop.

Amenities proposed include a rooftop Swim &amp; Racquet Club with a 25-metre Olympic lap pool and tennis court, coworking spaces and libraries, golf simulators, wine storage, concierge facilities, business lounges, pet wash areas, and rooftop longevity-focused wellness spaces with spas, outdoor fitness zones, and landscaped terraces.

All parking will be concealed within basement levels accessed from Wyandra and Helen Streets. Cavcorp says the deep-basement engineering approach allows the entire ground plane to prioritise landscaping, pedestrian movement, and active frontage rather than vehicle infrastructure.

The development continues Cavcorp’s concentration in Newstead and Teneriffe, where the Brisbane developer has delivered a number of apartment projects including Lucent, Le Bain, and Luminare, as well as the Long Island Wellness Precinct nearby. Several of those projects have received national design and architecture awards, including recognition under Brisbane’s “Buildings that Breathe” program.

Focus Group Investments has lodged plans for a new apartment development at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/64-70-hanover-street-fitzroy-vic-3065">64–70 Hanover Street</a> in Fitzroy, seeking to utilise the Victorian Government’s recently introduced Great Design Fast Track pathway to accelerate approvals for the project.

The proposal is among the latest developments to emerge through the state-led initiative, which was established to fast-track well-designed residential projects in activity centres and transport-connected inner-city locations. The pathway allows qualifying developments that meet elevated design and housing benchmarks to bypass traditional council planning timeframes and instead be assessed directly by the Department of Transport and Planning.

Designed by SJB, the development will comprise a mix of apartments above activated lower levels, with a strong focus on architectural articulation, landscaping, and communal amenity. The design response seeks to balance the industrial character of Richmond’s former warehouse precincts with a more contemporary residential form.

<img alt="First look: Focus Group Investments taps Victoria’s Great Design Fast Track for Richmond apartments" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="abea51cc-d85b-479e-9aef-a589f3b37ca7" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/ground.png?VersionId=e1Kf8EyPWwyiVumtqQ4rM5S4GpOR3CCz" />

Proposed are 63 new dwellings, a wide ranging mix of studio, one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments, and townhouses and duplexes. They will be spread across a part-three, part-eight storey building.

The Planning and Urban Context Report by Tract says the development is of an "exemplary architectural standard" and has been carefully crafted by SJB Architects.

"Dwellings&nbsp;will benefit from excellent access to natural light, cross-ventilation opportunities and extensive communal space," the report noted.

The architectural material highlights the project’s integration of landscaped elements and communal spaces throughout the building. The proposal also incorporates sustainability initiatives aligned with the Victorian Government’s push for higher-performing apartment developments under the fast-track program.

The Great Design Fast Track was unveiled by the Victorian Government in 2024 as part of a broader housing supply strategy aimed at accelerating the delivery of new homes. Projects assessed through the pathway must demonstrate high-quality architecture, sustainability outcomes, and housing diversity while being located close to public transport and existing infrastructure.

Focus Group, founder and led by Paul De Lutiis, is increasingly active across Melbourne’s inner suburbs, targeting well-connected urban renewal locations suited to medium and higher-density residential development. The Fitzroy proposal continues that strategy, leveraging the area’s strong transport links, established retail amenity, and proximity to the CBD.

Fitzroy has been one of the most popular spots for developers and buyers in recent years. The likes of PACE Development Group, SMA Projects, Crema Group and Chapter Group, currently selling projects in the suburb.

The Gold Coast Planning Committee has supported the preliminary approval for the Benowa Gardens Urban Village project following an extensive community consultation and assessment process.

The proposal will now proceed to a full council vote on June 2.

The application sought approval for a masterplanned urban village on the existing Benowa Gardens Shopping Centre site, combining new housing, retail, dining, health and lifestyle amenities within a walkable, integrated precinct.&nbsp;

The proposed redevelopment includes around 413 apartments integrated above a revitalised mixed-use centre featuring a full-line supermarket of 4,000 sqm, 6,000 sqm of specialty retail and dining space across around 30 retailers, a 7,000 sqm health and wellness precinct, and roughly 9,630 sqm of office and medical suites.&nbsp;

<img alt="$1b Benowa Gardens Urban Village moves to Full Council following Planning Committee support" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="fb36ae47-80bc-45f0-9914-31b0c7b6007d" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/PR26576%20Ashmore%20Road%20C4%201121%20FI.jpg?VersionId=6mRKk2uU4r67TmTt39DKGUlvFRbTVqWa" />

The broader masterplan also includes very significant traffic and transport improvements, wide pedestrian walkways, upgraded pedestrian and cycle connections, and enhanced public areas designed to create a more connected and walkable community environment.&nbsp;

Centre owner Patrick Lu said the milestone reflected months of detailed planning, technical assessment and ongoing communication with local residents, businesses, schools and stakeholders.

“We appreciate the time, consideration and care Council officers and the Planning Committee have given this proposal throughout the assessment process,” Lu said.

“We also sincerely thank the local community for engaging with us, sharing feedback and participating in the consultation process over many months.

<img alt="$1b Benowa Gardens Urban Village moves to Full Council following Planning Committee support" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="32fd1fc3-d0e6-485f-ac57-9916c9bcb818" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/PR26576%20Ashmore%20Road%20C5%201121%20FI_2.jpg?VersionId=fz8qQKDBLQ7MyFRc856Zccfbh9nFwLOe" />

“We understand projects of this scale bring questions and concerns, which is why we have worked hard to listen carefully, provide information transparently and continue refining elements of the proposal where possible.

“Our vision has always been to create a well-designed, community-focused urban village that responds to the changing needs of the Gold Coast, while delivering improved amenity, housing diversity, healthcare access and local lifestyle benefits.

“This proposal is about creating a genuine live-work-play environment where residents can access everyday services, schools, healthcare, dining, shopping and green space within walking distance, while also supporting local jobs and economic activity.”

<img alt="$1b Benowa Gardens Urban Village moves to Full Council following Planning Committee support" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="50dfbd04-590e-4fc6-983b-766880947867" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Dining%20Day%20Time%20-%20High%20Resolution.jpg?VersionId=BP7ZoKJ0DdL_8iRkkC8VVx99moICV6kg" />

Lu said the proposal had evolved significantly through consultation and technical review, particularly around traffic, pedestrian and student safety and neighbourhood connectivity.&nbsp;

Melissa Griffin, Director at Urbis, said the recommendation recognised the strategic importance of delivering more housing and services within established urban areas already supported by infrastructure.

“This proposal represents the type of thoughtful, integrated growth that planning frameworks across South-East Queensland are encouraging,” Ms Griffin said.

“The project seeks to place housing, retail, healthcare and employment opportunities together in a highly accessible location close to schools, transport and existing services.

“Importantly, the process has involved significant technical assessment and community engagement to ensure local issues and feedback were properly considered throughout the planning pathway.”

Surfers Paradise is officially set for its first new residential development with a 45-storey skybridge connecting the two towers.

John Camilleri’s Celestino Developments has been given the green light by the Gold Coast City Council to develop its major beachfront precinct across its huge 4,000 sqm oceanfront site at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/63-79-garfield-terrace-surfers-paradise-qld-4217">63–79 Garfield Terrace</a>, just five months after its <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/news/qld/first-look-exclusive-billionaire-winx-breeder-s-bold-two-tower-surfers-paradise-play-with-45th-storey-skybridge">submission in late 2025</a>.

The approved scheme will deliver two towers rising 55 and 48 storeys, connected by a skybridge positioned on level 45 that will house a range of resident-only wellness and entertainment spaces.

In its notice of approval, the Gold Coast City Council said the&nbsp;proposed overall built form has been designed to complement the scale, intensity and protect the adjacent amenity and surrounding streets through the use of varied setbacks, site cover and architectural elements.

<img alt="First look exclusive: Billionaire Winx breeder’s bold two-tower Surfers Paradise play with 45th-storey skybridge" data-entity-type="" data-entity-uuid="" src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/f_auto,c_limit,w_1440,q_75/https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/field/image/Screenshot%202025-12-30%20at%209.53.48%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=ADyPJ_TFbJvSU9wZFOiCBnlPtgF7VWqW" />

Designed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/dbi">DBI</a>, the development will comprise 275 apartments across the two towers, including a mix of two-, three-, and four-bedroom residences, as well as several penthouses. The apartments will sit above a landscaped podium featuring more than 90 metres of beachfront pool frontage, private resident lawns, lounges, and wellness spaces.

DBI said the design draws heavily from the movement and form of the coastal environment, with curving balcony lines and sculpted façades intended to soften the scale of the towers while maximising ocean outlooks and passive shading outcomes.

“The project occupies a rare, uninterrupted oceanfront site and has been shaped by a design philosophy that merges architectural elegance with environmental responsiveness and a carefully curated lifestyle experience,” DBI said in planning documents submitted to the Gold Coast City Council.

The most distinctive element of the approved project is the skybridge linking the two towers at level 45. The elevated communal space is planned to include executive lounges, formal dining areas, wellness facilities, and panoramic ocean-facing outlooks.

“The skybridge enhances the identity of the development, promotes social interaction, and delivers a lifestyle experience not found elsewhere on the Gold Coast,” DBI said.

At podium level, residents will have access to a suite of resort-style amenities, including resident lounges, private dining rooms, a yoga lawn, gymnasium, plunge pools, and treatment spaces. The beachfront pool has been designed with separate lap, lounge, and children’s areas extending across the width of the site.

The project will also introduce new food and beverage offerings along the Enderley Avenue and Oceanway frontages, contributing additional activation to the beachfront precinct.

Gold Coast off the plan apartments

Downsizers and rightsizers have dominated the new and off the plan apartment market in 2024.

The two camps, downsizers in particular, are the least impacted by the continued high interest rates compared to a first home buyer or investor, positioning them as a key target for developers. Most of the new apartment developments that have come to the market in 2024 have been large apartments that suit the size and budgets of a downsizer.

Many downsizers have built significant equity in their family homes over the years and are now looking to move into more manageable living spaces, while also securing funds for retirement.

But where are downsizers and rightsizers looking to buy?&nbsp;

In this article, we've looked at the most popular suburbs in the <a href="/developments/gold-coast-qld">Gold Coast</a> for both buyer demographics, highlighting some of the most popular developments in those areas.

<h2>Broadbeach</h2>

<a href="/developments/broadbeach-qld-4218">Broadbeach</a> continues to be one of the most popular suburbs on the Gold Coast for every buyer demographic.

Broadbeach offers high-density projects, which lend themselves to the first home buyer and investors as well as the downsizer who wants a sky-high apartment with significant amenity options within the building, as well as full-floor luxury, which tends to be the most popular downsizer option.

It's a walk to the beach, its has its own bowls club, several parks, and primary school, as well as Pacific Fair, the second largest shopping centre in Queensland, and the revamped Star Casino precinct.

It's been the largest towers that have been targeted by next home buyers.

Crest Broadbeach, by <a href="/developers/morris-property-group">Morris Property Group</a>, and <a href="/new-apartments/victoria-albert-broadbeach-20-albert-avenue-broadbeach">Victoria &amp; Albert</a>&nbsp;by <a href="/developers/iris-capital">Iris Capital</a>, the landmark two-tower development on the former Niecon Plaza site.

The Albert Tower in V&amp;A has been more designed for downsizers, with larger apartments starting from $1.8 million.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=107928 project_image_fid=234103]

Victoria &amp; Albert will comprise around 400 apartments, as well as a&nbsp;subtropical recreational podium with a lap pool, gym, and extensive landscaped areas.

The apartments will sit above a $200 million retail precinct which will have hand-picked retailers and hospitality venues.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=107928 project_image_fid=234095]

<a href="/new-apartments/crest-broadbeach-13-armrick-avenue-broadbeach">Crest</a> has also proven popular with the next home buyer demographic.

So far only the first tower has been released to the market, 184 two and three-bedroom apartments. The second tower, with slightly few apartments, will be released in the new year.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112024 project_image_fid=241133]

Crest will sit on&nbsp;Armrick Avenue, one of three streets that face the 4.2-hectare Broadbeach Park, a sought-after spot given it means protected south and eastern views toward the beach and the ocean.

On top of the view lines, Broadbeach Park is a drawcard by itself. Broadbeach Park is home to Broadbeach Bowls Club, which has stood as the focal point of Broadbeach since the mid-1950s, as well as Nikiforides Family Park, Broadbeach Croquet Club, and the Broadbeach Life Saving Club.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112024 project_image_fid=241132]

Morris is underway in construction of both the Crest towers, which will be completed in mid-2027.

<h2>Chevron Island</h2>

For the last three years, there's been a wide variety of options for local downsizers and rightsizers on&nbsp;<a href="/developments/chevron-island-qld-4217">Chevron Island</a>.

The island has been popular with those from New South Wales and Victoria who are looking to move to the Gold Coast.

Much like Broadbeach, Chevron Island residents get close proximity to Surfers, but its own different lifestyle, like the retail strip of Thomas Street and the thriving Home of The Arts precinct.

<a href="/developers/siera">SIERA</a>&nbsp;chose Chevron Island for its debut Gold Coast apartment development, <a href="/new-apartments/tapestry-chevron-island-39-darrambal-street-chevron-island">Tapestry</a>, currently under construction through SIERA's inhouse construction arm.

<a href="/new-apartments/tapestry-chevron-island-39-darrambal-street-chevron-island">Tapestry</a>, designed by <a href="/architects/bda-architecture">BDA</a>, will have 113 apartments across a 22-level building which is to be crowned by an amenity-fuelled rooftop with&nbsp;an infinity pool, private dining areas, and a gym.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108641 project_image_fid=192961]

<a href="/developers/aniko-group">Aniko Group</a> also recently started construction of its first Chevron Island apartment development <a href="/new-apartments/orama-chevron-island-12-16-weemala-street-chevron-island">Orama</a>, which is comfortably over 80 per cent sold of the 102 apartments.

Also under construction through its own in-house building arm, Orama will rise 21 levels and will also feature significant rooftop amenity.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=111898 project_image_fid=209597]

Aniko Group Managing Director, George Mastrocostas, said the sales success of Orama reaffirms that downsizers are the primary market driving the Gold Coast’s appetite for premium living experiences.

Peter Malady, sales and marketing director of Aniko Group, said their strategic pricing and emphasis on luxury amenities have resonated particularly well with local downsizers, who don’t just seek a residence, but a lifestyle tailored to their needs and desires.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=143018 project_image_fid=289068]

<a href="/developers/sherpa-property-group">Sherpa Property Group</a>&nbsp;is also tapping into the downsizer with one of its&nbsp;newest developments,&nbsp;<a href="/new-apartments/perspective-helm">Perspective Helm</a>.

Eight of the 10 residences have sold, with prices starting from $3.7 million. Each apartment has three to four bedrooms, a multi-purpose room, and garaging for three to four cars.

The rising price per square metre in Chevron Island—averaging $11,000 for two-bedroom apartments in 2024—reflects the suburb's growing demand.

<h2>Palm Beach</h2>

Palm Beach has been in a boom for years, with demand mainly coming from downsizers and rightsizers. This is due to the area's significant price growth and the types of apartments being developed.

Palmie dethorned Palm Beach as the Gold Coast's most popular suburb in November, with <a href="/news/qld/enquiry-for-new-apartments-in-palm-beach-hits-18-month-high">enquiry reaching an 18-month high</a>.

Hitting different demographics, with different budgets, is Sherpa. Their&nbsp;<a href="/new-apartments/perspective-nexus">Perspective Nexus</a>&nbsp;projects, its 12th development on the Gold Coast, comprises 35 two, three and four-bedroom apartments.

“We created <a href="/new-apartments/perspective-nexus">Perspective Nexus</a> to deliver luxury, and comfort residences and revolutionise beach living for local downsizers," Sherpa General Manager, Daniel Clarke, said.

“Our goal with Perspective Nexus is to transform beachfront living with state-of-the-art amenities and innovative design."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108324 project_image_fid=250147]

Sherpa is catering for downsizers and rightsizers, in a different way, at its recently launched <a href="/new-apartments/flourish-on-sixth-ave-6-12-sixth-avenue-palm-beach">Flourish on Sixth</a>.

Flourish on Sixth is the first in Sherpa's new Flourish brand which is trying to cater for a wider buyer pool than just luxury apartments on or near the beach.

Over 60 per cent of the one, two and three-bedroom apartments have been snapped up. The one-bedroom apartments were being offered for under $600,000, and a large number of the two's under $1 million.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=146527 project_image_fid=311566]

The rooftop will have a lap pool, plunge pools, a gym, sauna, and a private kitchen and dining space.

LDS is set to build Flourish on Sixth, and will start construction in March.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=146527 project_image_fid=306037]

<a href="/developers/marquee">Marquee Development Partners</a> is also seeing success at La Belle Palm Beach, one project targeting that affluent downsizer.

“Palm Beach has emerged as one of the Gold Coast’s most sought-after markets and <a href="/new-apartments/la-belle-palm-beach-332-the-esplanade-palm-beach">La Belle</a> is a world-class project that we have designed to meet sustained demand for premium residences on the southern Gold Coast,” Marquee Development Partners Director, Jacques Winterburn, said.

La Belle comprises 75 residences, including five two-level beach houses with nearly 400 sqm of living space.

Just two weeks after its official public launch earlier this year, over $100 million worth of sales were snapped up, with sales prices ranging from $2.5 million to $7 million.

<a href="/developments/palm-beach-qld-4221">Palm Beach</a> is expected to see demand continue into 2025 with several new projects earmarked to launch early in the year.

<h2>Biggera Waters</h2>

<a href="/developments/biggera-waters-qld-4216">Biggera Waters</a>&nbsp;wasn't on the radar for Gold Coast off the plan apartments until Lewis Land put it on the map with its suburb-shaping new development,&nbsp;<a href="/new-apartments/harbour-shores-biggera-waters-564-oxley-drive-biggera-waters">Harbour Shores</a>.

Harbour Shores, to be one of the most sustainable masterplans on the Gold Coast having received a 6 Star Green Star Communities rating from the&nbsp;<a href="/news/a-greener-future-green-building-council-australia-discuss-climate-change">Green Building Council</a>&nbsp;of Australia, has proven popular with the downsizer/rightsizer given the size of the apartments and houses. Its location near Harbour Town and the Broadwater Parklands have been two major drawcards.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=113271 project_image_fid=290022]

<a href="/developers/lewis-land-group">Lewis Land</a>&nbsp;Chief Executive Officer Brett Draffen said the vacant 16-hectare site, which has been held by the group for more than 40 years, would be transformed into a vibrant ‘village of villages’ that will ultimately be home to more than 4,000 people.&nbsp;

“<a href="/new-apartments/harbour-shores-biggera-waters-564-oxley-drive-biggera-waters">Harbour Shores</a>&nbsp;represents the largest and most dynamic community development in&nbsp;<a href="/developers/lewis-land-group" target="">Lewis Land</a>’s 65-year history, delivering architectural homes and apartments immersed in nature and world-class amenities,” Draffen said.&nbsp;

“From the outset, we assembled a first-class team of architects, landscape designers, planners and placemaking experts and set an ambitious sustainability goal for&nbsp;<a href="/new-apartments/harbour-shores-biggera-waters-564-oxley-drive-biggera-waters">Harbour Shores</a>&nbsp;to become the group’s first completely fossil-fuel-free development."

<h2>Burleigh Heads</h2>

<a href="/developments/burleigh-heads-qld-4220">Burleigh Heads</a> remains a hotspot for affluent downsizers, as the suburb continues to look more like Bondi than a quiet coastal Gold Coast suburb.

Several major hospitality venues have opened up, none more popular than Rick Shores, while The Mondrian, the Gold Coast's first Mondrian Hotel and branded residences, is soon to open to much fan-fare.

With beachfront developments offering large, luxurious apartments starting upward of $5 million, Burleigh Heads caters to a more mature demographic.&nbsp;

<a href="/buildings/burleigh-beach-houses-2-banksia-broadway-burleigh-heads">Burleigh Beach Houses</a>, the recently completed townhouses by&nbsp;<a href="/developers/21-property-group">21 Property Group</a>, have been most popular with downsizers and rightsizers.

The townhouses have four bedrooms, private lifts, outdoor entertaining areas, and plunge pools, near the beach and Burleigh's vibrant dining and shopping precinct.

The ambitious development will consist of four towers, blending apartments, high-end office spaces, a fine dining precinct, and an internationally branded upper-luxury hotel.

“We are incredibly excited to bring The Landmark to life in <a href="/developments/mermaid-beach-qld-4218">Mermaid Beach</a>,” said George Mastrocostas, Founder and Managing Director of Aniko Group.&nbsp;

“This project reflects our dedication to creating iconic spaces that not only redefine residential living but also enrich the surrounding community.

“We are encouraging those interested to register early, as The Landmark promises to be a highly sought-after address for those looking to experience a premium coastal lifestyle.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=134338 project_image_fid=311026]

Landmark’s two and three-bedroom apartments have been designed to maximize views of the beach, city, and river.

Designed in collaboration with renowned architects at Plus and the expert team at Aniko Group, The Landmark merges contemporary coastal architecture with luxurious amenities that enhance the lifestyle experience.&nbsp;

Aniko Group brings a proven track record of delivering exceptional large-scale projects on schedule and with a commitment to quality.

Southport is about to witness the arrival of some of its most expansive apartments ever, with the launch of Brighton on The Park, a prestigious new development by Sixty Sticks.

Positioned on the park-facing Brighton Boulevard, <a href="/new-apartments/brighton-on-the-park-southport-28-brighton-parade-southport">Brighton on the Park</a> offers unparalleled, never-to-be-built-out views over the adjacent parklands, Nerang River, and extensive views toward the Main Beach skyline and Surfers Paradise. The exclusive development will feature just 12 luxurious apartments, with sizes starting from a generous 247 sqm.

The three-bedroom, half-floor residences offer spacious living, with the largest apartments reaching 300 sqm.

Designed with a focus on lifestyle and leisure, Brighton on The Park boasts an array of high-end amenities, including a rooftop pool with sun-drenched day beds, a fully equipped gym, and multiple lounge areas.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=138113 project_image_fid=209672]

Sixty Sticks, led by Andrew Gilbert, has owned the 1,000 sqm-plus site since 2018, well before COVID-19 caused land prices on the Gold Coast to soar to record highs.

Preliminary works are booked in and ready to ensure the project launches by early 2025.

Demolition of the existing house on the property will begin shortly, with construction expected to start in Q1/Q2 2025. The build is anticipated to take around 14 months, as the project will not require excavation for basement parking, which typically adds significant time to the timeline.

With construction on track, buyers can expect to move in by mid-2026.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=138113 project_image_fid=209672]

Gilbert explains that the majority of buyer interest so far has come from local suburbs, particularly downsizers looking for spacious apartments that can accommodate visits from kids and grandkids.

"These buyers are drawn to the convenience of apartment living, with all the comforts of a home—like a rooftop pool and an entertainer’s balcony—without the upkeep," Gilbert says.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=138113 project_image_fid=209308]

Each apartment features a generous balcony with a full outdoor kitchen, offering views over James Overell Park and the Gold Coast skyline.

The heart of each residence is the kitchen, designed to offer the feel of a house with a large butler’s pantry and a floating island that doubles as both a dining and entertaining area.

Each apartment also includes two side-by-side parking spaces, complete with an EV charging station.

Brighton on the Park to offer Southport's largest apartments

Three years after submitting a planning application, and two and a half years since it was approved, Iris Capital has revealed to buyers what it plans to create on its prime Garfield Terrace site.

The development, 71 Garfield, will feature just 52 apartments, ranging from two-bedroom units with multi-purpose rooms to a $25.5 million penthouse. Designed by <a href="/architects/dbi">DBI</a>, the architecture firm behind Iris Capital’s debut Gold Coast project, V&amp;A Broadbeach, 71 Garfield is set to offer a new level of luxury in the area.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=110713 project_image_fid=317231]

The majority of the apartments, with spacious layouts and premium finishes, are oriented to take advantage of the beachside position. The building will offer direct access to the sand.

There are two, three and four-bedrooms, a three-level penthouse with its own private rooftop terrace on offer, as well as a rare, two-level beachfront house with four bedrooms, two living areas, and a private pool.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=110713 project_image_fid=317233]

Residents of 71 Garfield will benefit from several luxury facilities, also oriented to capture the views. The swimming pool and gym looking directly across the water, as does the yoga deck.

On the submission to the Gold Coast City Council, DBI said 71 Garfield is "designed exclusively for the coastal environment, moving away from smaller unit types and white upstands to embrace the increasing demand for large apartments and a new level of coastal sophistication."

"Iris Capital is set to deliver a new breed of building, combining subtropical principles, fashion inspired design and a sky living experience."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=110713 project_image_fid=317232]

71 Garfield is one of just a handful of projects active in the market on what is known as the Surfers Paradise Glitter Strip.

Garfield Terrace, on Northcliffe Beach, was mooted to go through a huge transformation several years ago, but several developments haven't gone ahead and have traded hands in recent years.

AALTO, by Weiya Holdings just next door to 71 Garfield, is now in the <a href="/news/qld/first-look-exclusive-winx-breeder-john-camilleri-continues-gold-coast-apartment-development-site-spree">hands of Winx breeder John Camilleri</a>, while prominent developer KTQ also sold its <a href="/news/qld/first-look-ktq-sell-garfield-terrace-site-for-56-million-as-demand-soars-for-gold-coast-beachfront-sites">Garfield Terrace site for $56 million</a>.

Broadbeach has been dethroned as the most popular suburb on the Gold Coast.

Data from MatterFact, the data partner of Apartments.com.au, revealed that&nbsp;<a href="/developments/palm-beach-qld-4221">Palm Beach</a> was the most enquired-on suburb in November, overtaking <a href="/developments/broadbeach-qld-4218">Broadbeach</a>, which had held the top spot every month in 2024—except for May, when Palm Beach last claimed the title.

Interest in the Gold Coast tends to surge in November, December, and January, particularly from people based in southern states and Brisbane who are planning to holiday in the region.

Palm Beach has been the <a href="/news/qld/palm-beach-the-most-indemand-off-the-plan-apartment-market-on-the-gold-coast">most searched suburb on the Gold Coast</a> for the past four quarters on Apartments.com.au, but the scarcity of new projects had left much of that demand unmet.

The last project to come to market in Palm Beach was La Belle&nbsp;Marquee Development Partners, 74 premium beachfront apartments.

The newest development in Palm Beach, just the second to launch in 2024, is tapping into that unmet demand, a segment of the market which has been overlooked in recent years.

Developer <a href="/developers/sherpa-property-group">Sherpa Property Group</a> has created a new brand, Flourish, to cater to the likes of first home buyers and rightsizers, not just affluent downsizers or holidaymakers.

The brand's debut project,&nbsp;Flourish on Sixth, offers a range of one, two, and three-bedroom apartments, with one-bedroom units starting from under $600,000. These apartments have been quickly snapped up, and while many of the two-bedroom units are also sold, there are still some available around the $1 million mark—an unprecedented price in today’s Gold Coast apartment market.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=146527 project_image_fid=306036]

With amenities including an 800 sqm rooftop featuring a heated lap pool, private cabanas, and a wellness centre, the project delivers high-end communal spaces while maintaining affordability.&nbsp;

The inclusion of shared electric vehicle services and other sustainable features adds further appeal for buyers seeking modern, environmentally conscious living.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=146527 project_image_fid=306037]

Demand is set to continue into 2025. Next year the local market will welcome back <a href="/new-apartments/villea-palm-beach-26-mawarra-street-palm-beach-qld-4221">Villea Palm Beach</a>, by Sydney and Melbourne developer <a href="/developers/abadeen-group">Abadeen</a>.

Gordon Corp is teaming up again with the Mathieson family to launch their Jefferson Lane project which will bring another&nbsp;47 two and three-bedroom apartments to the undersupplied market.

Enquiry for new apartments in Palm Beach hits 18-month high

Gold Coast developer <a href="/developers/sherpa-property-group">Sherpa Property Group</a> is doing things a little differently at its newest apartment development in <a href="/developments/palm-beach-qld-4221">Palm Beach</a>.

After focusing primarily on the high-end market with its popular Perspective series, which has garnered attention from Palm Beach to <a href="/developments/chevron-island-qld-4217">Chevron Island</a>, Sherpa is now targeting a broader buyer demographic with its latest project.

Introducing Flourish, a fresh brand aimed at making homeownership more accessible for first home buyers and rightsizers, particularly those with smaller budgets in areas where they would typically be priced out.

The first project under the Flourish brand, <a href="/new-apartments/flourish-on-sixth-ave-6-12-sixth-avenue-palm-beach">Flourish on Sixth</a> in Palm Beach, has already been a success, with more than half of the apartments in the building already snapped up.

One-bedroom apartments were priced under $600,000, while two-bedroom apartments are still around the $1 million mark—prices that are uncommon in the Palm Beach and Burleigh Heads areas

[smartcode_project:default project_id=146527 project_image_fid=311566]

"We believe there's no better location for the Flourish brand of beachside living," Sherpa General Manager, Daniel Clarke, says on Sherpa's fifth development in the suburb.

"Research tells us the average difference in price between beachfront and one block from the beach is about 30 per cent especially in places like Sydney. However, the difference in Palm Beach is more like 100 per cent, meaning greater buyer value just once block from the ocean.

"That's more value we've secured to pass onto the buyer, creating a deal of a lifetime."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=146527 project_image_fid=311562]

True to Sherpa's commitment to delivering high-quality resident amenity in every project they produce, Flourish on Sixth will feature an 800 sqm, north-east facing rooftop with a heated 15-metre lap pool, private cabanas, and communal barbecue area complete with a pizza oven.

Also on the roof will be a&nbsp;wellness centre with a gym, sauna, steam room, and both hot and cold plunge pools. A private kitchen and dining area will also be located on the roof, as will work-from-home facilities and a bookable boardroom.

Flourish will feature a shared electric vehicle service, a car wash station, and electric car charging points.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=146527 project_image_fid=311565]

Sherpa is bringing its trusted development partners to Flourish, including <a href="/builders/lps-group">LPS Group</a>, the builder behind some of their high-end projects. LPS is currently constructing Perspective Nexus in Palm Beach, where two-bedroom apartments start from $1.745 million, and Perspective Helm on Chevron Island, with prices starting at $3.7 million.

LPS will begin construction on Flourish on Sixth early next year, with completion expected by late 2026 or early 2027.

Local developer Sherpa Property Group looks set to break the <a href="/developments/chevron-island-qld-4217">Chevron Island</a> apartment record at its newly released luxury development, Perspective Helm.

The 10 apartments, including four river residences and two two-level penthouses, ranging in price from $3.7 million to $10 million. A sale close to $10 million would surpass the island record, set in Chevon One where a penthouse sold for $9 million. That too set a record $25,000 per sqm.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=143018 project_image_fid=289075]

It is the Eastern Penthouse which is listed for just shy of $10 million. Spanning 917 sqm across two levels, the penthouse features four bedrooms, four bathrooms, a cinema, and an additional multipurpose room. There will also be a wine display cellar and a private rooftop with an outdoor kitchen, pool, pizza oven and firepit, as well as panoramic views of Surfers Paradise.

Eight of the 10 apartments in <a href="/new-apartments/perspective-helm">Perspective Helm</a> have already been snapped up by local and oversees buyers.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=143018 project_image_fid=289077]

<a href="/developers/sherpa-property-group">Sherpa</a> General Manager Daniel Clarke says the swift uptake of Perspective Helm underscores the project’s exceptional design and prime location.

“Our commitment to delivering high-calibre projects in prime locations is clearly resonating with buyers," Clarke says.

"Perspective Helm sets a new benchmark for luxury living.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=143018 project_image_fid=313575]

Perspective Helm, on a prime 1,711 sqm north-facing, riverfront site at 107 Stanhill Drive, has been designed in collaboration with HAL Architects and MAS Architectural Studio.

There are a handful of private marina berths with vessels up to 18 metres.

Local builder <a href="/builders/lps-group">LPS Group</a> is in charge of the build. Excavation is underway and the project is expected to complete by late 2025.

Elsewhere on the Gold Coast, Sherpa is currently delivering <a href="/new-apartments/perspective-nexus">Perspective Nexus</a>, another boutique apartment development in Palm Beach, and <a href="/new-apartments/flourish-on-sixth-ave-6-12-sixth-avenue-palm-beach">Flourish on Sixth</a>, part of their new brand to offer more affordable apartments to the local market.

Sherpa’s Perspective Helm to challenge Chevron Island apartment record

Malaysian-Australian developer&nbsp;<a href="/developers/mrcb">MRCB</a>&nbsp;has won PropertyGuru's Best Apartment Architectural Design and the inaugural Sustainable Design Award for its 26 Vista apartment development in Surfers Paradise.

The accolades were announced during the 7th PropertyGuru Asia Property Awards (Australia) ceremony held at the Grand Hyatt Melbourne, celebrating achievements in real estate across the country.

Located on Vista Street just one row back from the beach, <a href="/new-apartments/vista-surfers-paradise-26-vista-street-surfers-paradise">26 Vista</a> will rise 51 levels and home 280 apartments. 70 per cent have already sold, before construction commencement.

&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112730 project_image_fid=211252]

MRCB International CEO, Ravi Krishnan, said they believe 26 Vista will be the greenest tower on the Gold Coast.

"In designing 26 Vista, our aim was to mirror the dedication we bring to all our projects, carefully crafting a sustainable yet prestigious living experience for both current and future residents of <a href="/developments/surfers-paradise-qld-4217">Surfers Paradise</a>," Krishnan, said.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112730 project_image_fid=211248]

MRCB has also employed a number of other green initiatives for 26 Vista, including adopting an all-electric solution and eliminating gas via SUPA Energy, Australia’s most progressive energy solution.

These initiatives align with the developer's emphasis on sustainable construction practices, supported by its proprietary MRCB Building System (MBS).&nbsp;

This modular construction technology allows for up to 85 per cent of the building process to be completed off-site, significantly reducing energy consumption, carbon emissions, and waste while enhancing overall build quality.

&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112730 project_image_fid=208885]

26 Vista will also offer EV car-sharing options in partnership with mobility company Outbound, making it one of the first residential buildings on the Gold Coast to provide this service.

"The project is a real showcase of what’s possible when developers prioritise convenience, luxury, and sustainability for the benefit of their residents," Outbound CEO Luke Rust said.

"Electric car sharing is an accelerating trend in buildings around the world and we’re excited to be pioneering the concept in Queensland.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112730 project_image_fid=221706]

Since launching to market in early 2023, over 70 per cent of the apartments at 26 Vista have sold.

26 Vista will also offer residents lush private rooftop gardens and sky-high residents' lounges, providing 360-degree views of South East Queensland, along with offering a hotel-styled wellness precinct featuring a state-of-the-art gym, outdoor yoga space, outdoor pool and spa, sauna, and a steam room.

MRCB clinch Sustainable Design Award and Best Apartment Architectural Design for 26 Vista, Surfers Paradise apartments

The luxury Gold Coast tower La Mer at Main Beach is set to relaunch, with a new developer and builder driving the project forward, offering rare full-floor beachside apartments on Main Beach Parade.

Developer ODUS is teaming up with builder Nazero to deliver the $140 million, 27-level development at 3580 Main Beach Parade. They started the build of the tower in July, and are expecting the tower to complete in late 2026.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=95606 project_image_fid=316687]

Designed by Plus Architecture, <a href="/new-apartments/la-mer-main-beach-3580-main-beach-parade-main-beach">La Mer</a> will feature 22 premium three-bedroom plus multipurpose room apartments, each spanning 300 sqm and taking in views of the beach, Broadwater, and <a href="/developments/gold-coast-qld">Gold Coast</a> skyline.

The two-level penthouse will have four bedrooms across 600 sqm.

Residents will have exclusive access to a resort-style pool, spa, gym, sauna, barbeque facilities, private sun lounges, yoga lawn, and an outdoor beach shower.

Prices will start from $3.9 million.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=95606 project_image_fid=316688]&nbsp;

The release comes after new research by Colliers which revealed a 30 per cent supply gap for ultra-luxury apartments on the Gold Coast.

ODUS Director Byron Sakha said La Mer was the latest evolution of the exclusive, laid-back <a href="/developments/main-beach-qld-4217">Main Beach</a> village, one of the Gold Coast’s most highly sought-after addresses.

“Every apartment in La Mer has house-sized proportions and incredible views—not to mention a location in one of the city’s best postcodes,” Sakha said. 
 
“Demand continues to outstrip supply for ultra-luxury apartments on the Gold Coast, and the rare full-floor design will make these residences particularly prized."

Sakha said the team has "elevated every aspect of the development", reconfiguring layouts to make better use of the panoramic views and upgrading the finishes with&nbsp;natural stone and premium Gaggenau appliances.

“Additionally, we've reimagined the resident amenities, introducing a spa, sauna, an expanded gym, and a larger recreation deck, ensuring a level of sophistication and comfort that sets a new benchmark for coastal living."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=95606 project_image_fid=316691]

Sakha said the partnership was quick to secure the site when the opportunity presented and had already secured funding, meaning construction is powering ahead.

Developer <a href="/developers/odus">ODUS</a> is directed by Sakha—who also runs one of Australasia's largest coaching institutes, Jarrod Younan and Sebastian Younan. The Younans also head builder Nazero.

Together, the trio have a track record of delivering more than $500 million of boutique apartments and luxury homes over two decades.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=95606 project_image_fid=316690]

OTP Group Director James Elliott, who is managing the project’s sales, said La Mer would appeal to buyers from across the Eastern seaboard.

“We’re anticipating interest from Gold Coasters rightsizing from a large family home to an expansive, low maintenance apartment for the lifestyle—in easy reach of cafes, restaurants, the beach, Broadwater, and entertainment,” Elliot said said.

“We also see holidaymakers from <a href="/developments/brisbane-qld">Brisbane</a>, <a href="/developments/sydney-nsw">Sydney</a>, and Melbourne, who are seeking a permanent Gold Coast residence, and lifestyle purchasers buying now to relocate in future, among prospective buyers.”
