S&amp;S Projects is boosting its investment at Rainbow Bay to more than $1 billion after the prolific Gold Coast developer acquired a new site for $20.25 million and immediately laid plans for a new luxury apartment project in the sought-after precinct.

The site, which is the company’s fifth acquisition at Rainbow Bay in the past four years, will be home to the company’s largest project to date after delivering 3 sold-out projects and construction progresses on Radia worth a combined $215m. 
S&amp;S Projects is currently finalising plans for its latest strategic acquisition, a 1,518 sqm site located 209-213 Boundary Street in Coolangatta, with a development application expected to be lodged within weeks.

The luxury residential development will build on the company’s highly successful projects at Rainbow Bay, comprising Flow, Awaken, Esprit and Radia, with Radia currently under construction by Hutchinson Builders.

“We have been unflinching in our commitment to Rainbow Bay and the transformation we have helped drive in this incredible part of the Gold Coast, which is among the city’s most desirable residential locations,” said S&amp;S Projects founder and director Paul Gedoun.

“Our fifth project will reflect the best of what we have done so far to create a lifestyle precinct that is second to none.”

The latest development, which has yet to be named, is proposed to accommodate 88 luxury apartments in a design that will immerse residents in a unique wellness lifestyle that expands on the legacy of S&amp;S Project’s earlier developments at Rainbow Bay.

The development will feature an expansive rooftop garden and wellness centre with a resort- style pool, among a host of lifestyle amenities planned for residents.

“Rainbow Bay, with its beautiful, protected beach and alongside one of the world’s best surf breaks at Snapper Rocks, is the natural wellness heartland of the Gold Coast,” said Gedoun.

“We are taking every advantage to create a truly unique rooftop wellness experience with a natural feel for residents, offering stone features throughout and an underlying theme that emulates a botanical garden.”

The latest acquisition comes as S&amp;S Projects is at the completion of Esprit and construction continues on Radia, which are part of their significant portfolio undertaken by the company at Rainbow Bay since 2022.

The $215 million Radia, which comprises 38 apartments, is currently the flagship development by S&amp;S Projects at Rainbow Bay which is expected to be completed in 2027.

Jayde Pezet, of Pezet Matheson, which has managed sales and marketing for S&amp;S Projects across their Gold Coast portfolio, emphasised the developer’s commitment to continuous improvement and excellence.

“S&amp;S Projects continue to elevate the benchmark of luxury with each development," Pezet said.

“We have worked with S&amp;amp;S on their 4 other projects in Rainbow Bay and their approach reflects a team that is constantly learning, refining, and pushing the standard higher.

“Their hyper-local knowledge and deep expertise within the luxury property sector are what truly set them apart, allowing them to deliver projects that feel both globally sophisticated and authentically connected to their coastal environment”

S&amp;S Projects plans to officially launch its latest project at Rainbow Bay in the second half of this year.

“As we embark on our largest project yet, we have pulled out all stops to create another landmark development that truly reflects the relaxed southern Gold Coast lifestyle,” Gedoun added.

S&S buys $20m Rainbow Bay site for fifth beachside apartment project

Japandi, an emerging design trend that combines Scandinavian functionality with Japanese rustic minimalism, remains relatively untested in Australia’s residential development market.

As developers look to differentiate their projects and offer something distinct to buyers, Brisbane-based developer Lantona has embraced the hybrid style for its recently launched Toowong apartment project, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/koya-residences-6-josling-street-toowong-qld-4066">Koya Residences</a>, with early response to the design proving positive.

Lantona entrusted Red Door Architecture and interiors practice Luma Design Co with delivering the Japandi brief. The approach blends Japanese minimalism with Scandinavian functionality, emphasising warm, restrained interiors, natural materials and clean lines. Drawing on the Japanese concept of wabi-sabi (beauty in imperfection) and the Scandinavian principle of hygge (comfort and cosiness), it creates serene, uncluttered and sustainable living environments.

These design principles are expressed throughout the Josling Street development, both in its exterior form and across the 40 one-, two- and three-bedroom residences within.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=150787 project_image_fid=366229]

Koya reflects a deliberately scaled approach, with the five-storey form designed to align with the surrounding residential streetscape rather than dominate it.

“Koya is conceived as a building that sits comfortably within its surroundings. Every decision, from material selection to spatial planning, has been guided by long-term liveability and enduring relevance,” the developer said.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=150787 project_image_fid=366243]

Positioned within an established inner-west neighbourhood, the development sits near riverfront parklands and the Bicentennial Bikeway, while remaining within walking distance of Toowong Village and multiple public transport options connecting to the CBD, St Lucia and West End.

Lantona said the location was central to the project’s conception, pointing to Toowong’s balance of green space, transport access and proximity to major education institutions.

“<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/toowong-qld-4066">Toowong</a> combines river access, walkability, immediate CBD connection and a strong educational presence. That balance made it the obvious setting for Koya.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=150787 project_image_fid=366230]

Communal amenity is concentrated on the rooftop, where a shared retreat will include a pool, dining areas and outdoor spaces oriented towards neighbourhood and city views. The design allows for both private use and small gatherings, extending the living environment beyond individual apartments.

Koya enters the market at a time when smaller-scale developments are becoming less common in established suburbs, with many recent projects in the suburb shooting for the sky.

In a nod of confidence,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/builders/brisbane-builders">Brisbane Builders</a>&nbsp;has already commenced construction on the building, which is slated for completion in early 2027. Keenan &amp; Byrne is marketing Koya.

A completed Castle Hill apartment development is returning to market with an uncommon level of financial backing, positioning it as one of the more secure options for buyers in Sydney’s north-west.

Skyview in Castle Hill, originally developed by Top Place and now overseen by capital partner <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/equitifund-group">Equitifund</a>, is being relaunched following a full remediation process. Central to its repositioning is a substantial financial reserve designed to provide ongoing protection and reduce uncertainty for incoming purchasers.

At the core of this offering is an $11 million bond secured during the project’s remediation phase, negotiated by former NSW Building Commissioner David Chandler. With less than $4 million required to complete the works, approximately $7.2 million remains in reserve, with around 15 years left on the term.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=147685 project_image_fid=359134]

Rather than a typical insurance-backed structure, the remaining funds are held as cash, creating a readily accessible financial buffer should any future building issues arise. The structure is intended to provide buyers with an added layer of certainty, differentiating the development from more conventional apartment offerings.

Equitifund Executive Chairman Greg Huxley said the structure provides a level of security not typically seen in apartment developments.

“The $11 million bond established for the Skyview Castle Hill development represents exceptional value, providing genuine financial security for purchasers,” Huxley said.

“Unlike a standard insurance policy, this bond consists of real funds held in trust for the Owners Corporation, offering a tangible layer of protection and added peace of mind.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=147685 project_image_fid=359135]

The remediation process has now been completed in full, with no active rectification orders or outstanding directives linked to the project on NSW Government registers. This outcome reflects the broader tightening of building oversight across the state, while also highlighting the project’s transition into a completed, compliant asset.

In a market where many buyers remain cautious about apartment quality, initiatives like this are designed to restore confidence, giving purchasers greater certainty and a stronger sense of security in their investment.

Equitifund has since acquired the remaining apartments and is managing their reintroduction to the market. With the works finalised and a significant financial reserve in place, the project now presents with a markedly different risk profile compared to its initial release.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=147685 project_image_fid=359137]

Beyond the added security, the development is positioned in one of Castle Hill’s more established pockets. The Gay Street address places it within close proximity to Castle Towers, one of the country’s largest retail centres, as well as Castle Hill Metro Station, which now connects directly to the broader Sydney Metro network.

Equitifund National Sales Director Ben Hamblett said buyer demand in the area continues to be driven by access to transport and amenity.

“Interest from both owner-occupiers and investors in Castle Hill remains exceptionally strong, with buyers consistently prioritising developments in close proximity to the Metro station and Castle Towers Shopping Centre,” Hamblett said.

“There is a clear trend in the market, with purchasers seeking convenient access to transport and lifestyle amenities that support a seamless, low-maintenance way of living.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=147685 project_image_fid=359145]

The apartments also enter the market at a relatively accessible price point for the area, with two-bedroom configurations starting from $995,000 and rental demand for similar stock reaching around $900 per week. This combination of pricing, connectivity, and completed status is expected to appeal to both owner-occupiers and investors seeking lower-risk entry into the Hills District apartment market.

For eligible buyers, a limited 3.50 per cent p.a. two-year fixed interest rate is currently available through Equitifund’s lending partners, providing an additional layer of affordability.

EquitiCredit Pty Ltd ACN 676 363 769 holds ACL 559289 and provides credit assistance. Finance is arranged through EquitiCredit and funded by its lending partners. Interest rates are subject to change and eligibility criteria apply. Terms, conditions, fees and charges may apply. This is not financial advice and should not be relied upon as such.

A State-Assessed Rezoning Proposal for the Kurnell Peninsula is now on public exhibition, setting out a plan to deliver up to 4,300 homes alongside new retail, tourism and public open space on a 210-hectare coastal site.

The proposal, backed by the Minns Labor Government, would transform a former sand mining area along Captain Cook Drive into a mixed-use precinct delivered over approximately 20 years.

In addition to housing, the plan includes more than 7,000 sqm of retail and commercial space, new community facilities and approximately 116 hectares of open space, equating to more than half the site.

<h2 data-end="902" data-section-id="ony3l3" data-start="851">Rezoning framework enables mixed-use development</h2>

The rezoning application seeks to amend planning controls under the State Environmental Planning Policy (Precincts—Central River City) and the Sutherland Shire Local Environmental Plan 2015.

Its primary objective is to enable a broader range of land uses across the site, including residential, employment, tourism and community uses, while also formalising environmental protections and land management outcomes .

The proposal has progressed through the state-led rezoning pathway after being identified as a project of regional significance, supported by several years of technical studies and agency consultation .

Development would occur in stages, aligned with the progressive closure and remediation of the existing sand mine.

<h2 data-end="1768" data-section-id="krwii9" data-start="1720">Master plan structured around three precincts</h2>

The accompanying urban design report outlines an indicative master plan that divides the site into three primary precincts, anchored by a town centre in the western portion of the site.

The town centre is planned as the first stage of development, located on land that has already been remediated. It is intended to accommodate higher-density housing, retail, and community uses.

Sydney's newest beachfront city: NSW Gov to unlock 4,300 new homes on Kurnell peninsula

A long-awaited transformation of a former industrial site in Holroyd has been given the green light, with the NSW Government approving the $1.2 billion Crescent Parklands masterplan that will deliver more than 1,200 new homes just south of Parramatta.

The State Significant Development approval clears the way for a large-scale mixed-use precinct at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/1-crescent-street-holroyd-nsw-2142">1 Crescent Street</a>, replacing an underutilised site with a coordinated residential community anchored by new open space, retail, and commercial uses.

Designed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/woods-bagot">Woods Bagot</a> for WA-based developer Tiberius, the approved scheme comprises seven buildings arranged across two precincts. In total, the development will deliver 1,227 apartments, including 201 allocated as affordable housing, alongside approximately 2,500 sqm of retail and 5,000 sqm of commercial space within a mixed-use podium.

<img alt="Tiberius’ Crescent Parklands to deliver 1,200+ homes in major Holroyd transformation" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="1cc82dd2-8184-4b86-8665-90653147820d" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Crescent%20buildings.png?VersionId=2ZmVDc_Rfc4AzQ6ShzZJlvdZnACLerVM" />

The project is structured as a masterplanned precinct rather than a standalone tower. Buildings 1 to 4 will rise from a shared podium with shop-top housing, while Buildings 5 to 7 are positioned closer to the northern park interface as residential flat buildings. The built form has been carefully modulated to balance density with amenity, with the design resolving building separation, solar access, and wind impacts at a precinct scale.

A significant focus of the design is the activation of Crescent Street and the integration of public domain. The submission notes that “individual townhouses [were] removed for community based functions to Crescent Street to increase activation and surveillance,” reinforcing a more urban and publicly engaged street edge. Retail, commercial tenancies, and resident amenity spaces are concentrated along this frontage and within the podium to support day-to-day activity.

The landscape strategy underpins the project’s identity, with a network of pedestrian connections, landscaped corridors, and open spaces linking the site internally and to its surroundings. The design prioritises permeability, delivering “increased uninterrupted flow between spaces for pedestrian access” and improved connections through to the adjoining parklands.

<img alt="Tiberius’ Crescent Parklands to deliver 1,200+ homes in major Holroyd transformation" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="19282454-ab2f-4e2c-866f-4b35cf4283d4" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Crescent%20masterplan.png?VersionId=JQdWGYI5B5R1lzmK4omYOp_8KLPkT4Bv" />

Buildings within the western precinct are oriented toward the park, shaping a residential offering defined by proximity to open space. The design describes this approach as creating apartments “immersed in nature with apartments facing the park,” positioning the landscape as a central organising element of the masterplan.

The broader architectural response addresses both infrastructure and context, with taller elements capturing long-range views toward Parramatta while setbacks and separation distances mitigate impacts on surrounding residential areas. Sustainability initiatives, including solar optimisation, cross-ventilation, and integrated landscape systems, are embedded across the scheme.

Located approximately one kilometre south of Parramatta CBD, the 3.6-hectare site is bounded by Crescent Street, Woodville Road, and Holroyd Sportsground. It benefits from strong access to public transport, including nearby bus routes and train stations, and sits within a rapidly evolving corridor earmarked for increased residential density. The design also strengthens connections between surrounding green spaces, including Holroyd Sportsground and Parramatta Parklands.

The approval follows several years of planning, including a rezoning process that enabled significant uplift in height and density across the site. With determination now secured, Crescent Parklands is positioned to play a major role in delivering new housing supply within Greater Parramatta’s growth area.

Gold Coast off the plan townhouses

South East Queensland Developers Keylin and Kinstone Group have captured the attention of homebuyers on the northern end of the Gold Coast with their standout waterside masterplan, Lakeside Serenity 4212.

The joint venture partners had a vision for <a href="/new-townhouses/serenity-lakeside-villas-helensvale-6-lake-serenity-boulevard-helensvale-qld-4212">Lakeside Serenity 4212</a>, a 65-hectare masterplan on the shores of Coombabah Lake, to become one of the best waterfront communities in the Gold Coast.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=149142 project_image_fid=324627]

Since the first launch of homes in 2020, there have been consistent stage sellouts, as well as a 2023 UDIA Queensland Award for Excellence in Boutique Development.

Tony Ashwin has been selling the homes in the masterplan since its inception. He says the masterplan fills a void where there is a real scarcity of waterfront land.

“The northern suburbs of the Gold Coast are in extremely high demand,” Ashwin says, highlighting that Helensvale is central to this growth.

“It’s the only Gold Coast suburb with both heavy and light rail connections, offering residents easy access to Brisbane and the rest of the Gold Coast.”

Having sold out the Serenity Waters waterfront lots and the Serenity Green townhouse community, Keylin and Kinstone Group have now released the next stage of development.

The latest offering, Lakeside Serenity 4212 Waterfront Villas, includes just 16 exclusive, absolute waterfront villas. Each villa faces north, providing direct access to the water and a private pontoon, with the Lake Serenity lock system offering direct access to the Broadwater.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=149142 project_image_fid=324629]

Designed by MAS Architecture, the villas feature open-plan living spaces, soaring ceilings, floating staircases, and strategically placed windows that enhance the sense of space while maximizing natural light and uninterrupted lake views.

Each villa has four bedrooms, two living areas, and a double garage. The kitchens serve as the centerpiece, with premium natural stone benchtops, large island benches, butler’s pantries, and integrated Smeg appliances. The master suites feature walk-in robes, freestanding bathtubs, and private balconies overlooking the lake.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=149142 project_image_fid=324623]

Ashwin points out that the Gold Coast’s medium to low-rise market is currently undersupplied, making Lakeside Serenity 4212 Waterfront Villas particularly appealing.

“Serenity meets the demand for high-quality, medium to low-rise homes,” Ashwin says.

There has been significant interest from both local downsizers and Brisbane residents looking for a second home. They are drawn to the excellent connection to Brisbane while wanting to spend the majority of their time on the Coast.

“The link between Brisbane and Helensvale is unrivaled, and it’s a connection that no other suburb can beat,” Ashwin adds.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=149142 project_image_fid=324625]

Additionally, the upcoming Coomera Connector will improve access between the northern suburbs and Broadbeach. The Cross River Rail Project, which will add a new train station in Helensvale (just 8 kilometers from Serenity), will further improve regional accessibility.

Ashwin notes that supply in the northern Gold Coast suburbs will remain tight.

“The Queensland Government’s build program for the 2032 Brisbane Summer Olympics will limit residential supply, especially in the medium to low-rise markets,” he explains.

Lakeside Serenity 4212 is already an established community with additional developments in the pipeline including a premium, low-rise apartment offering and future retail precinct.&nbsp;

Resort Homes, one of the most reputable builders in the northern Gold Coast, has begun construction on the Lakeside Serenity 4212 Waterfront Villas and expects to complete the project in Q3 this year.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=139511 project_image_fid=324090]

Offering something different to the new development market on the Gold Coast, Capri Villas offer low maintenance living while retaining that feeling of living in a house.

The three and four-bedroom villas are spread across a 12,000 sqm community behind a secure gate only accessible by residents and its guests. Once inside the gates, it feels like an American country club, with private roads leading to the villas.

Central to the development, inkeeping with the country club vibe, is a resort-style swimming pools set in extensively landscaped gardens, underneath towering palms. The pool has submerged lounges in the wate and a sundeck.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=139511 project_image_fid=324093]

Accompanying the central pool will be an outdoor dining terrace with a barbecue pavilion and an indoor residents' lounge, equipped with a built-in bar and kitchen.&nbsp;

The way the homes have been designed, and the level of facilities which were included to foster a sense of community, has seen local downsizer make up the majority of purchases.

The villas feature&nbsp;spacious, open-plan layouts that integrate indoor and outdoor living with high-end finishes such as natural stone benchtops and Gaggenau appliances. &nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=139511 project_image_fid=324097]

Capri Villas are strategically located just&nbsp;800 metres from the dining and retail precinct of Capri on Via Roma.

The first residents are expected to move into Capri Villas in mid-2025.

Final release at Capri Villas as construction speeds toward mid-2025 completion

Leading Gold Coast-based developer <a href="/developers/aniko-group">Aniko Group</a> has reached a significant milestone in its $500 million transformation of Hope Island with the completion of its premium townhouse development, 35 Grant Avenue.

All 58 townhouses have sold.

George Mastrocostas, Managing Director of Aniko Group, said the project’s success reflects a strong market appetite for luxury housing in <a href="/developments/hope-island-qld-4212">Hope Island</a>.&nbsp;

“The sell-out of <a href="/buildings/no-35-grant-residences-35-grant-avenue-hope-island">35 Grant Avenue</a> highlights the continued demand for sophisticated and functional homes in sought-after locations like Hope Island”, Mastrocostas said.

“This waterfront development is part of our broader vision to enhance the quality of life for residents and contribute to the ongoing revitalisation of the area.”&nbsp;

35 Grant Avenue comprises architecturally designed two-level townhouses offering spacious three-bedroom layouts set within a secure, private gated community.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=95316 project_image_fid=201428]

Each townhouse features outdoor private courtyards with paved terraces and generous-sized balconies on the upper-level.

The interiors boast high-quality finishes, including Herringbone engineered timber flooring throughout the ground-level living area and ducted air conditioning throughout the main living area and bedrooms.

35 Grant Avenue features fully equipped kitchens designed for modern living, with under-bench wine fridges, electric cooktops, and quality stainless steel appliances.

The development also offers residents first-class amenities designed to enhance waterfront living, including a luxurious resort-style pool, waterfront boardwalk and private marina berths.&nbsp;

Providing residents with a peaceful, luxurious lifestyle while fostering a sense of community, 35 Grant Avenue also includes lush green landscaping, an outdoor BBQ and dining area, and an outdoor firepit and lounge area. &nbsp;

“35 Grant Avenue has been designed to promote community while offering residents quality living and the opportunity to indulge in the peaceful waterfront life,"&nbsp;Mastrocostas added.

"This focus on quality and connection has deeply resonated with our buyers."

The project’s strategic location further adds to its appeal, with direct access to the Hope Island Marketplace and proximity to the Gold Coast’s major shopping centres, dining precincts, and recreational areas.&nbsp;

“The completion and sell-out of this project highlights the strong demand for quality homes in this area.

“It reinforces our commitment to delivering developments that are not only well-designed but also meet the evolving needs of residents looking for both lifestyle and convenience.”

Aniko Group, known for delivering exceptional large-scale projects, has now completed four projects on Hope Island comprising 630 residences and is on track to complete $145 million Orama in Chevron Island, reinforcing its reputation as a reliable and trusted developer that delivers high-quality products.&nbsp;

Following the completion of 35 Grant Avenue, Aniko Group is setting its sights on the Gold Coast’s biggest project in two decades, The Landmark in Mermaid Beach, which is due to start construction in early 2025.

Having already launched a ‘Register Your Interest’ campaign for the first stage, <a href="/new-apartments/the-landmark-mermaid-beach-14-seaview-avenue-mermaid-beach-qld-4218">The Landmark</a> is primed to become one of the Gold Coast’s most iconic developments, featuring four towers and an internationally branded hotel yet to be announced.&nbsp;

“We are pleased with the momentum we’ve built with 35 Grant Avenue, and we look forward to bringing our focus to delivering The Landmark in Mermaid Beach, which is set to be a game changer for the Gold Coast on an international scale”, Mastrocostas concluded.

Splitting time between <a href="/developments/sydney-nsw">Sydney</a> and the <a href="/developments/gold-coast-qld">Gold Coast</a> has never been so popular.

While a long-favoured destination for Sydney families seeking a summer getaway, the Gold Coast is growing in popularity among retirees who are making it their second home, and sometimes, their primary residence.

Of course there are also who already have the beachside lifestyle in Sydney, but are looking for something else.

That was the case for David and Antoniette Richards, who have been Mosman locals for several decades. They recently secured a <a href="/new-townhouses/capri-villas-81-salerno-street-isle-of-capri">villa in Capri</a>, the gated community currently being delivered by <a href="/developers/monaco-property-group">Monaco Property Group</a> on the <a href="/developments/isle-of-capri-qld-4217">Isle of Capri</a>, across a bridge from <a href="/developments/surfers-paradise-qld-4217">Surfers Paradise</a> and all of the connectivity that comes with it.

&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=139511 project_image_fid=324087]

The couple had been exploring their options and how they want to downsize. Looking at the local Mosman market, and the $5 million-plus prices that were being commanded for two and three-bedroom apartments, they decided to look north.

“We’ve been holidaying on the Gold Coast for the last four decades, and as we approach retirement, we wanted to spend more time here,” says David, a former journalist and media executive. “The decision to move north was an easy one. The question for us was where.”

For David and Antoniette, it wasn’t necessarily to make a sea change.

“Initially, we looked at places like <a href="/developments/broadbeach-qld-4218">Broadbeach</a> and <a href="/developments/main-beach-qld-4217">Main Beach</a>, but we didn’t feel the need to be right on the beach,” says David, whose home overlooks Balmoral Beach in Mosman. “What really appealed to us was the size of the properties and the type of community we could become part of.”

When they discovered the <a href="/new-townhouses/capri-villas-81-salerno-street-isle-of-capri">Capri</a> development, everything clicked. “When we saw what Monaco Property Group was offering, we knew it was the right fit for us,” David recalls.

&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=139511 project_image_fid=324095]

The Richards secured a three-level, four-bedroom townhouse in the villa community of 48 residences, paying a fraction of what they would have paid for something similar in Sydney. “It’s incredible value for money,” David says. “You couldn’t get anything like this in a desirable Sydney suburb.”

Beyond the financial benefits, the location of <a href="/new-townhouses/capri-villas-81-salerno-street-isle-of-capri">Capri</a> was a major draw. The development is nestled near golf clubs, cafes like Via Roma, and is far enough from the Gold Coast’s major tourist zones to offer a more tranquil lifestyle. “It’s the best of both worlds,” David adds. “We’re close to everything, but not caught up in the noise.”

&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=139511 project_image_fid=324091]

Antoinette, a seasoned interior designer, was particularly excited about the possibilities the new space presented. The couple has built and designed several homes together in Sydney, and Antoinette knew exactly what to look for when it came to both the layout and finishes of their new home.&nbsp;

“NPA Projects took us through the specifications, and Plus Architecture and BDA designed a floorplan that suited our needs perfectly,” David says. “The multi-generational layouts, private lift, and high-end appliances really sold us on the place.”

The central amenities at <a href="/new-townhouses/capri-villas-81-salerno-street-isle-of-capri">Capri</a> were also key to their decision.&nbsp;

“The smaller downsizer buildings in Sydney didn’t offer the level of amenities we wanted. We wanted a real sense of community, where we could interact with neighbours and see familiar faces at the pool, rather than constantly encountering short-term renters and holidaymakers.”

&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=139511 project_image_fid=324094]

While the housing type, design, specifications, location and price boxes were all ticked, a purchase wouldn’t have happened without confidence in the team delivering <a href="/new-townhouses/capri-villas-81-salerno-street-isle-of-capri">Capri</a>.

“I was impressed with the developer and his passion for the project,” David said.

“We were told he was a local <a href="/developments/isle-of-capri-qld-4217">Isle of Capri</a> resident, and that helped in our understanding of what the project meant to him.”&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=139511 project_image_fid=298831]

David said nowadays, you really have to do your research.&nbsp;

“Buildings from the 70s through to the 2000s were built to last, and there wasn’t much to worry about when it came to researching the developers behind them. But now, buyers have to be more diligent. You really need to understand who is behind a project before committing,” he says.

Adding to the confidence of the developer was the build partner, Greyburn, who has delivered a string of projects up and down the Gold Coast for over 20 years.

Greyburn is a solid builder in South East Queensland, and it’s easy to see they deliver what they promise. We feel confident in their ability to complete the project to the highest standard.”

Construction of <a href="/new-townhouses/capri-villas-81-salerno-street-isle-of-capri">Capri</a> is set to complete in mid-2025. A handful of villas remain for sale.

David and Antoniette took part in Urban's Buyer Q&amp;A series which focuses on the driving factors behind&nbsp;<a href="https://expert-insights/buying/the-top-eight-considerations-when-buying-off-the-plan" target="">buying off the plan</a>&nbsp;property in Australia.

From Mosman to Isle of Capri: Why Sydney buyers are heading to the Gold Coast

The Gold Coast new development space hasn't seen a project like <a href="/new-townhouses/capri-villas-81-salerno-street-isle-of-capri">Capri</a> in years.

While most developers are building upwards in response to the evolving <a href="/developments/gold-coast-qld">Gold Coast</a> skyline, <a href="/developers/monaco-property-group">Monaco Property Group</a> has taken a different approach, opting to create a private, gated community featuring 48 villa-like townhouses.

What makes <a href="/">Capri</a> so rare is the land and the location. Indeed <a href="/new-townhouses/capri-villas-81-salerno-street-isle-of-capri">Capri</a> represents the first major-scale development on the <a href="/developments/isle-of-capri-qld-4217">Isle of Capri</a> in three decades.

While tower developers can typically build on plots of 1,000 sqm or less, <a href="/new-townhouses/capri-villas-81-salerno-street-isle-of-capri">Capri</a> spans around 12,000 sqm, an exceptionally rare landholding in the Gold Coast property market, especially in such a prime location near the best parts of the coast.

We recently spoke with the team delivering <a href="/new-townhouses/capri-villas-81-salerno-street-isle-of-capri">Capri</a> to find out more.

“<a href="/developments/isle-of-capri-qld-4217">Isle of Capri</a> is extremely well located on the Gold Coast,” Monaco Property Group Managing Director, Jonathan Grasso, says.

“It offers all the benefits of connectivity but also has very good access points, whether heading to Surfers Paradise or the Bundall precinct.”&nbsp;

The gated community has been carefully designed with downsizers in mind, offering three-bedroom villas just 800 metres from the cafes, restaurants and shops at <a href="/new-townhouses/capri-villas-81-salerno-street-isle-of-capri">Capri</a> on Via Roma.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=139511 project_image_fid=298829]

<a href="/project-marketer/new-property-agent-qld-npa">NPA Projects</a>&nbsp;Director Andrew Erwin&nbsp;highlighted the community-centric amenities of <a href="/new-townhouses/capri-villas-81-salerno-street-isle-of-capri">Capri</a>, cleverly positioned at the heart of the community. The facilities will comprise a resort-style swimming pool,&nbsp;sun deck, covered entertaining area and BBQ pavilion and residents' lounge complete with built-in bar and fully equipped kitchen.

"Capri will have a strong community focus, whether it's through shared travel, local activities, or simply connecting with neighbors who share common interests," Erwin said.

“It suits people looking for a little bit more variation in their lifestyle."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=139511 project_image_fid=298830]

<a href="/new-townhouses/capri-villas-81-salerno-street-isle-of-capri">Capri</a> is currently under construction under the watchful eye of reputable Gold Coast builder <a href="/builders/greyburn">Greyburn</a>.

Managing Director John Kearney said everything about the development is best in class.

“There wasn’t going to be one stone left unturned on this project,” Kearney said.

“From the best trades to the best supplies and supervision, every detail has been meticulously considered.”

<a href="/new-townhouses/capri-villas-81-salerno-street-isle-of-capri">Capri</a> is set to be completed in four stages, with the first residents expected to move in by mid-2025.

Gold Coast builder developer <a href="/builders/alroe-constructions">Alroe</a> has announced the official launch of its boutique apartment development The Finn, situated in the coveted Mermaid Beach enclave.&nbsp;

The $31 million The Finn follows the highly successful debut of <a href="/new-apartments/lune-main-beach-19-21-rankin-parade-main-beach-qld-4217">Lune</a>, another of Alroe’s premier projects, which has quickly attracted significant interest due to its distinctive appeal and high demand in <a href="/developments/main-beach-qld-4217">Main Beach</a>.

Alroe is leveraging a critical market opportunity by delivering ultra-luxury boutique residences along the Gold Coast, a niche market that is currently dramatically undersupplied.&nbsp;

This focused approach presents a distinct alternative to larger high-rise developments, which have faced increasing hurdles in reaching fruition, Alroe CEO Tye Aloe says.&nbsp;

<img alt="The Finn" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="e5144fa1-b93a-4000-84ee-d9cc478cd45d" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202024-10-23%20at%208.39.32%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=jcpcOTgVwPePGZYiPM9rFw.096TCIkNj" />

“We’re proud to publicly release the remaining apartments of The Finn, a testament to our commitment to delivering premium boutique residences that cater to a niche market,” Alroe said.

“Our initial success highlights a strong demand for luxury downsizing options in prime locations like Mermaid Beach and affirms the exceptional quality of our offerings.&nbsp;

“We have tapped into a significant market for luxury downsizers who don’t necessarily want to move into large high-rise projects but want to relocate from homes into luxury, well-appointed residences in central locations like Main Beach and Mermaid Beach.”&nbsp;

<img alt="Alroe" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="1acdfb61-d750-45d5-9faa-17e2a150b55b" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202024-10-23%20at%208.39.42%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=EcEWZ.PCacmg9ediYpPIAamk4ks8Ze9t" />

The Finn features eight luxury villas with a range of floor plans from 220 sqm to 390 sqm, with each villa offering three bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms, and a dedicated home office space.&nbsp;

These layouts are designed to cater to contemporary lifestyles with a focus on both functionality and elegance.&nbsp;

The design of The Finn emphasises a deep connection to its coastal setting. The use Venetian render and travertine stone not only reflects the natural beauty of Mermaid Beach but also a timeless quality to the residences.&nbsp;

Each villa features private pools and courtyards, while the two penthouses offer exclusive rooftop terraces with pools and spas.

Prices start at $3,465,000.

“Following the success of our initial launch, we are confident that The Finn will continue to meet the market’s demand for outstanding residential offerings,” Alroe added.&nbsp;

“This strategic release aligns with our goal to offer sophisticated residential solutions, setting us apart from larger high-rise developments that face increasing challenges.”

Sherpa to develop three luxury homes on former Labrador tennis court

Local developer 21 Property Group is approaching construction completion at Burleigh Beach Houses, a luxury collection of just six villas just two streets back from the beach.

Only two of the six townhouses remain, the final two to&nbsp;

<a href="/buildings/burleigh-beach-houses-2-banksia-broadway-burleigh-heads">Burleigh Beach Houses</a> present almost as three duplexes, with each pair of townhouses having their own architectural style.

The last two townhouses, on the end of the road on Banksia Way, feature a sculpted, curved facade which immediately capture the eye.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=141528 project_image_fid=264406]

They have four bedrooms across three levels and have 330 sqm of internal and external living space which includes a north-facing rear garden with outdoor kitchen, alfresco area, and a plunge pool. An internal lift services all levels, futureproofing the home for generations.

The other four townhouses have been snapped up pre-completion by a mix of buyers. One was bought by an investor from Sydney, one went to a Melburnian who is set to relocate to the Gold Coast, and another was picked up by a local who sold their family home nearby.

One of the builders from <a href="/developers/carmichael-build">Carmichael Build</a> has purchased a townhouse, which often boosts confidence among other prospective buyers when a builder invests in a development they've built.

Burleigh Beach Houses is strategically positioned just outside of the centre of <a href="/developments/burleigh-heads-qld-4220">Burleigh Heads</a>, a short walk to James Street and the Burleigh Pavilion.&nbsp;

Burleigh Heads has been a popular spot on the beachfront, with luxury apartments being developed all the way up The Esplanade, but townhouse developments with the craftmanship of Burleigh Beach Houses have been few and far between.

Renowned Gold Coast construction firm Greyburn is making significant headway on the luxury Isle of Capri villa development, Capri.

Greyburn poured the initial concrete slabs for the villas this week, a major milestone in the build of the 48 villas that make up the 1.12-hectare gated community being delivered by&nbsp;<a href="/developers/monaco-property-group">Monaco Property Group</a>.

Over the next six weeks, work will focus on developing the internal roads and constructing the external walls of the villas which are part of the first&nbsp;major residential project on the <a href="/developments/isle-of-capri-qld-4217">Isle of Capri</a> in over 30 years.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=139511 project_image_fid=280882]

Designed by <a href="/architects/plus-architecture">Plus Architecture</a> and <a href="/architects/bda-architecture">BDA Architecture</a>, Capri offers two and three-level villas centred around resort-style amenity including a pool with submerged lounge chairs, a sundeck, an outdoor dining terrace, a covered barbecue area, and a lounge equipped with a kitchen, bar, TV, lounge, and fireplace.

The gated community is strategically located, providing residents convenient access to Southport’s private schools, Broadbeach’s dining and entertainment precinct, Bundall’s commercial centre, and the HOTA arts precinct.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=139511 project_image_fid=213450]

It is also within 800 metres of the cafes, restaurants, and shops at Capri on Via Roma, including Harris Farm Markets.

Capri has proven particularly attractive to empty nesters, with most sales to date made to downsizers from nearby suburbs.&nbsp;

Construction of Capri is track for completion in late 2025.

Construction advances at luxury Isle of Capri villas

Gold Coast downsizers are seeking quality alternatives to traditional housing and apartment options with leading agents claiming the lifestyle demographic is prioritising dwellings with larger floor plans, privacy, and increased security in prime locations.&nbsp;

The multi-award-winning villas at <a href="/developments/isle-of-capri-qld-4217">Isle of Capri</a>’s newest community, <a href="/new-townhouses/capri-villas-81-salerno-street-isle-of-capri">Capri</a>, currently under construction, are hitting the mark with empty nesters, with the majority of sales to date made to downsizers from the surrounding suburbs.

Construction is on schedule for a late 2025 completion, with the first pour of internal roads complete and the first slabs being poured this week.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=139511 project_image_fid=216115]

Local downsizers Chris and Julie Kelaart were quick to secure a three-bedroom villa at <a href="/new-townhouses/capri-villas-81-salerno-street-isle-of-capri">Capri</a> after the <a href="/new-townhouses/gold-coast-qld">Gold Coast</a> couple decided they wanted to elevate their lifestyle while minimising the upkeep and maintenance required by their family home.

“We have lived on the Gold Coast for almost 14 years and with all of our children married it was time to sell the 17-acre family property and downsize to a home that reflects the lifestyle we want for the next stage of our lives,” Mr Kelaart said.

“When we started looking for our next home, we were set on purchasing a new property and we were prepared to buy off the plan.

“With <a href="/new-townhouses/capri-villas-81-salerno-street-isle-of-capri">Capri</a> under construction, we are just so excited because it’s all good and well to look at plans and designs but to see it coming out of the ground is amazing.”

<a href="/new-townhouses/capri-villas-81-salerno-street-isle-of-capri">Capri</a>, developed by Gold Coast-based <a href="/developers/monaco-property-group">Monaco Property Group (MPG)</a> and being built by <a href="/builders/greyburn">Greyburn Building Contractors</a>, is a landmark project representing the largest residential project in the suburb in more than three decades. <a href="/new-townhouses/capri-villas-81-salerno-street-isle-of-capri">Capri</a> occupies a prime 1.2-hectare site set to house 48 architecturally designed luxury villas.

Coming from a large family home, Mrs Kelaart said she was drawn to Capri because she didn’t feel she was compromising on space and liveability yet she gained a new level of luxury with an architecturally-designed villa that felt like a separate dwelling.&nbsp; 
&nbsp; 
“We chose a villa at <a href="/new-townhouses/capri-villas-81-salerno-street-isle-of-capri">Capri</a> because of the exceptional high-quality workmanship and the beautiful design,” says Mrs Kelaart.&nbsp;

“The generous floorplans made us feel like we weren’t resizing our whole lives to fit into a downsizing option and we still have plenty of room to comfortably accommodate our family and friends when they visit with the extra bedrooms and bathrooms.

“The resident facilities are top notch too so the days of Chris sitting on the mower for hours on end are long gone and having someone else to look after the pool will be fantastic.”

Designed by global practice <a href="/architects/plus-architecture">Plus Architecture</a> and award-winning local firm <a href="/architects/bda-architecture">BDA Architecture</a>, the project offers two and three-level villas ranging in size from 241 sqm to 370 sqm with three and four-bedroom options available along with multi-purpose rooms and secure double garages.

NPA Director Andrew Erwin says a villa at <a href="/new-townhouses/capri-villas-81-salerno-street-isle-of-capri">Capri</a> is the “ultimate rightsizer”, offering house-size dimensions in a blue-chip location within a secure, gated community.

“Downsizing is often considered a compromise as it implies you are sacrificing or giving up something but many people in this age bracket do not want to compromise on space and liveability in their new home, instead they want to upscale their lifestyle to suit the next stage of their lives,” Erwin says.

“<a href="/new-townhouses/capri-villas-81-salerno-street-isle-of-capri">Capri</a> offers a villa lifestyle where you don’t have to compromise on space or privacy, yet you have the added benefits of extra security, access to resort-style amenities that you don’t have to maintain, and a prime location close to all the Gold Coast has to offer.

“With construction now full steam ahead and the first residents expected to be welcomed next year, Capri is the perfect option for buyers who want to embrace a lifestyle change within the foreseeable future.”

<a href="/new-townhouses/capri-villas-81-salerno-street-isle-of-capri">Capri</a> offers an exclusive gated community surrounded by world-class resort-style, resident-only amenities including a pool with submerged lounge chairs, a sundeck, an outdoor dining terrace, a covered barbeque area, and a residents lounge complete with kitchen, bar, TV, lounge, and fireplace.

<a href="/new-townhouses/capri-villas-81-salerno-street-isle-of-capri">Capri</a> is more than 60 per cent sold.
