First Look: Sherlock Construction pitches apartments for low-rise Deception Bay

Queensland builder-developer MAYD has revealed the first look at its major North Kirra beachfront development, lodging amended plans that reduce the number of apartments and increase the proportion of larger residences.

The project is planned across a substantial 4,742 sqm amalgamated site spanning seven lots at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/2-6-pacific-parade-bilinga-qld-4225">2-6 Pacific Parade</a> and 27-33 Golden Four Drive in Bilin​ga, directly opposite Nor​th Kirra Beach.

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/mayd-group">MAYD</a> secured the site for $32.5 million in 2025, in what was one of the Gold Coast's largest property transactions of the year.

The development will be delivered across two stages, with the first stage carrying an estimated gross realisation value of around $360 million.

The latest amendments seek to reduce the overall apartment count and shift the project further toward the owner-occupier market, with larger residences designed for buyers wanting considerably more space than traditionally offered in a beachfront apartment.

The residential mix will include townhomes, oversized two-bedroom apartments, substantial three-bedroom residences and four-bedroom homes.

MAYD has appointed Cera Stribley to lead the architecture and interiors, with the Melbourne-based design practice drawing on the beachfront setting through a series of ocean-facing terraces and heavily landscaped balconies.

Strong horizontal forms and curved balconies will define the exterior, with subtropical landscaping integrated throughout the building to soften the built form and increase the connection between the residences and the beachfront.

The project will also include an extensive collection of resident wellness and lifestyle facilities, continuing the broader shift across the Gold Coast's luxury apartment market toward larger homes supported by resort-style amenity.

MAYD Founder Todd Mould said North Kirra was increasingly appealing to buyers attracted to the more established, lower-density character of the southern Gold Coast.

"North Kirra presents one of the most compelling luxury residential opportunities currently emerging in Australia, combining absolute beachfront with the character and authenticity that buyers are increasingly seeking, and the same sense of tight-knit community that defined Burleigh and Currumbin perhaps 10 or 15 years ago," Mould said.

"With Gold Coast Airport on its doorstep, it also offers a level of accessibility that broadens its appeal across almost every market demographic."

The project comes as the southern Gold Coast continues to attract an increasing share of high-end apartment development and buyer activity.

Kirra in particular has emerged as one of the region's more tightly held beachfront markets, with its relatively low-density character, established surf and hospitality scene and proximity to Gold Coast Airport differentiating it from the higher-density markets further north.

Mould said those characteristics had informed the approach MAYD and Cera Stribley had taken to the project.

"We've worked closely with Cera Stribley to create a vision that is deeply connected to its surroundings," he said.

"Inspired by the coastline itself, the architecture has been shaped around space, privacy and resort-style living, creating a collection of homes that reflects the next generation of luxury on the southern Gold Coast."

MOTIV Managing Director Carly Cottam, who has been appointed to market the project, said buyer attention had continued to move south along the Gold Coast.

"Purchasers who may once have defaulted to Broadbeach, Main Beach or Surfers Paradise are increasingly recognising the value of a genuine beachfront location that offers lower density, strong amenity and a more established sense of community," Cottam said.

"Kirra has a powerful combination of growing demand and genuine scarcity. Beachfront supply is inherently constrained, the area remains relatively low density, and buyers are increasingly placing a premium on locations that feel established, uncrowded and authentic rather than heavily developed."

Cottam said the proximity to Gold Coast Airport was also proving increasingly important for interstate and second-home buyers.

"Being minutes from Gold Coast Airport makes it particularly compelling for interstate buyers, frequent travellers and second-home purchasers who can access an authentic coastal lifestyle almost immediately after stepping off a flight."

The acquisition takes MAYD's active development portfolio to more than $500 million, with the North Kirra project representing one of its largest undertakings to date.

MAYD is targeting an early 2027 launch.

First look at MAYD's North Kirra mixed-use precinct

<main data-perf-region="main">
Castle Hill, the longtime hub of the Hills District, has been one of the major beneficiaries of Sydney's Metro expansion, with improved connectivity helping drive continued population growth, development and buyer demand across the Hills District.

But despite that growth, the suburb has seen relatively few major new apartment projects brought to market over the past 18 months.

Hills District developer Reve Group is looking to fill that gap with <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/nova-r-ve-castle-hill-2-garthowen-crescent-castle-hill-nsw-2154">Nova Rêve</a>, a major new mixed-use precinct on the corner of Garthowen Crescent and Old Castle Hill Road, a short walk from Castle Hill Metro Station and Castle Towers.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=152737 project_image_fid=377679]

The project will comprise three residential towers alongside a hotel, restaurants, cafes and a skybar, more than 1,600 sqm of ground-floor retail and almost an acre of landscaped gardens.

It represents the largest project undertaken by Reve Group, the development arm of the Kassis family, which has been building across the Hills District for more than 30 years through Kassis Homes.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=152737 project_image_fid=377675]

Nova Rêve also represents a significant step up from the family's first apartment development, Grand Rêve, which was delivered nearby on Garthowen Crescent.

Grand Rêve introduced larger, house-like apartment layouts and premium inclusions including Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances to the Castle Hill market.

Nova Rêve takes that approach to a precinct scale, combining the residential component with hospitality, retail and substantial public and resident landscaping.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=152737 project_image_fid=377685]

Reve Group Managing Director Sam Kassis said the project reflected the family's three decades of building in the Hills, which has evolved from trophy homes on quarter-acre blocks to larger-scale apartment development.

"Grand Rêve was our first apartment project here and it showed us what this pocket of Castle Hill could be. Nova Rêve is the refinement of that idea: not just apartments, but a place the whole suburb can use," Kassis said.

A key part of that approach is the hotel, which has been designed to operate as an amenity for the wider Castle Hill community rather than solely hotel guests.

It will include restaurants, cafes, skybars and all-day dining, alongside conference and event facilities catering to business functions, community groups and private events.

At ground level, more than 1,600 sqm of shops and cafes will open onto the surrounding streets and landscaped areas.

Almost an acre of gardens designed by Land and Form Studios will run through the precinct, incorporating pathways, seating, barbecue areas and children's play spaces.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=152737 project_image_fid=377680]

Reve Group's Romio Georges said creating an active ground plane had been central to the planning of Nova Rêve.

"There are gardens with pathways, barbecues, seating and play areas, shops and cafes opening onto the street, and a hotel with restaurants and a skybar that anyone in Castle Hill can walk into," Georges said.

The project's elevated position on one of Sydney's highest ridgelines will also provide apartments with outlooks toward the Sydney skyline, surrounding parkland and the Blue Mountains.

More than 80 per cent of the apartments will occupy corner positions, with Turner responsible for both the architecture and interiors.

Nova Rêve arrives as Reve Group bets on Castle Hill's next growth phase

A collection of just 25 large-format apartments and penthouses overlooking Goodwin Park is entering the Coolangatta market, with <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/marea-residences-coolangatta-27-27a-dixon-street-coolangatta-qld-4225">Maréa Residences</a> combining a low-density, residential-only approach with uninterrupted park and Pacific Ocean outlooks.

Located at 27 Dixon Street, Maréa comprises three and four-bedroom residences alongside a limited number of dual-level penthouses, with the project positioned between Goodwin Park and <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/coolangatta-qld-4225">Coolangatta</a>’s coastal precinct.

Construction has commenced, with completion currently estimated for late 2027. Three-bedroom residences are priced from $1.8 million.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=150999 project_image_fid=374005]

The project has been designed around its northern outlook across the park, with the building’s architecture, landscaping and material palette intended to establish a connection with the neighbouring green space. The residences have been configured to maximise natural light and views across Goodwin Park towards the ocean.

Inside, the material palette incorporates timber, stone and brushed brass, complemented by curved detailing and ambient lighting. Kitchens and bathrooms carry the same natural material approach, while residences also include basement parking, storage and lift access.

Maréa’s penthouses are arranged over two levels and include private pools, adding another layer to the project’s focus on larger-format apartment living. Across the development, residences are configured with three or four bedrooms rather than the broader mix of smaller apartment types commonly found in larger projects.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=150999 project_image_fid=374010]

Resident amenity is concentrated at rooftop level, where landscaped entertaining terraces and pools take advantage of elevated views across Coolangatta and the Pacific Ocean.

The project has so far been particularly well received by local owner-occupiers and downsizers, according to Urban Activation Property Sales and Marketing Director Matt George, with the residential-only format, construction quality and northern park outlook among the features resonating with purchasers.

“The uninterrupted northern aspect overlooking Goodwin Park has been a key point of difference, with buyers attracted to the sense of serenity and open space the park provides, while still enjoying easy access to the ocean and being within walking distance of the lifestyle and amenities Coolangatta has to offer,” George said.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=150999 project_image_fid=374002]

“The combination of high-quality construction, a residential-only building, park outlook and proximity to the beach has resonated strongly with the local downsizer market.”

The Dixon Street address is within walking distance of Coolangatta Beach and the broader southern Gold Coast coastline, including the surf breaks at Snapper Rocks and Kirra. Coolangatta’s cafés, restaurants and retail are nearby, while Gold Coast Airport is also within close proximity.

Maréa Residences brings parkside apartments to Coolangatta

Melbourne developer PDG has secured Victorian Government approval for its $1.5 billion Southbank development <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/the-one-1-queens-bridge-street-southbank-vic-3006">The One</a>, clearing the way for the long-dormant riverfront site opposite Crown to finally be developed.

The Minister for Planning has approved the project at 1-29 Queens Bridge Street, with the Department of Transport and Planning issuing the planning permit following its assessment.

The approval will allow PDG to develop the prominent 5,059 sqm site with a major mixed-use tower comprising premium apartments, including branded residences, a luxury hotel and boutique office space.

PDG acquired the site in late 2024, with its position directly opposite Crown's main entrance and near Melbourne's Arts Precinct making it one of Southbank's most significant remaining development opportunities.

<img alt="PDG" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="3933013e-6332-4386-b9be-089df05caf17" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-08-27%20at%209.29.22%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=sITIgBqDL0N3VNSMwWEmF5UA.uvcsRyu" />

Designed by COX in collaboration with ODO and PDG, the tower's architecture draws on the movement of the Yarra River, with six vertical pleats running the height of the sculpted facade.

The project will also see the heritage-listed Queens Bridge Hotel restored and incorporated into the development&nbsp;with new hospitality and public uses, including a rooftop venue.

A significant component of The One will be its residential amenity.

More than 5,000 sqm of resident facilities will be delivered across a single level, making it one of the largest consolidated residential amenity offerings proposed in an Australian apartment development.

The planning approval also incorporates a major upgrade of Queensbridge Square, which PDG will deliver in partnership with the City of Melbourne.

<img alt="PDG" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="73167fcd-1031-4b6f-a408-a064cfe45ed1" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-08-27%20at%209.29.17%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=Pf1AEWxw6SNmBqR0zQW5lyEze.MtxgFp" />

The existing square will be revitalised as a new civic and pedestrian space along the Yarra River, strengthening the connection between the project, Southbank and the riverfront.

PDG Founder and Managing Director Vince Giuliano said the approval represented a major milestone for a site which has remained largely underutilised for more than 15 years.

“This is the most significant Planning Permit approval Melbourne has seen in recent years,” Giuliano said.

“For more than 15 years, this site has remained underutilised. This approval enables us to deliver a project that will contribute meaningfully to the revitalisation of Southbank, restore and reactivate an important heritage building, and create a new civic and hospitality destination for Melbourne.”

The latest approval follows an earlier planning permit issued by the City of Melbourne covering demolition works across part of the site at 9-29 Queens Bridge Street. Those demolition and early works are already underway.

PDG has also started generating early interest in the residential component from owner-occupiers ahead of a planned public launch in early 2027.

PDG secures approval for $1.5bn Southbank apartment development, The One

Maroubra

Sydney’s popular eastern suburbs beachside spot Maroubra is set to welcome a rare new apartment development on its beachfront strip.&nbsp; 
&nbsp;

Leading personal injury lawyer Gerard Malouf and his wife Dana has lodged plans for a boutique development at 116-118 Marine Parade.

MHNDU has designed the four-level building which will home just 10 apartments.

The residences will sit atop a stone clad basement level, which has been designed to appear as a landscaped podium.&nbsp;

The project will deliver a mix of apartment types; two one-bedroom, two two-bedroom, and six three-bedroom apartments, with three apartments to be dedicated to affordable housing.&nbsp;

The site is located in an area that is currently underdeveloped, but is zoned for higher density residential buildings in the future, with the desired future character of Marine Parade evident in the more recently constructed buildings further to the south of the site.&nbsp;

The combination of contemporary materials, colour palette and landscaping will provide a well-designed and high quality finish to the public domain and surrounding development, setting a precedent for contemporary development in the area.

The ground floor level will comprise two three-bedroom residences, each containing an open plan living, dining and kitchen area, a powder room, a laundry, three ensuites, a walk-in-robe and outdoor private open space wrapping around the apartment.

The first floor will include two one-bedroom units, again with an open-plan design, a bathroom, a laundry and private open space. The floor also has two two-bedroom apartments, each with a bathroom, a laundry, an ensuite and a walk-in-robe.

On the second floor, two three-bedroom ensuited apartments will be included, each with a powder room, a laundry and a walk-in-robe, with the third floor set to home the additional two three-bedroom apartments, each with ensuites, powder room, a laundry and a walk-in-robe.&nbsp;

All of the apartments will adjoin to private open spaces, in the form of balconies or courtyards, and while no communal open space has been proposed, the site benefits from its location near to Maroubra Beach, and a reserve directly across the road, which provides additional public recreation space.&nbsp;

The development will also include a total of 483 sqm of landscaped greenery at the front, rear and sides of the site, with the designs handled by Wyer &amp; Co. Landscape Design.&nbsp;

Maroubra set for rare new luxury apartment development

<html><body>
Test cricketer David Warner and wife Candice Falzon have sold one of their many Maroubra ­investment apartments.
The bullish off-market sale secured around $1.25 million for the two-bedroom unit.
Their $1.023 million acquisition in 2017 saw it become a $700-a-week rental, reflecting a 3.5 per cent yield for the top floor 94sqm apartment.
So pleased with the “seamless sale” Warner did a social media video yesterday praising the ­estate agent Josh Ellison of Ellison Zulian ­Property. It was a record price in the Hereward Street block of eight.
No doubt the funds will go towards their dream home which is taking shape at Lurline Bay, with interiors by Alexandra Kidd.
The couple bought their 900sqm oceanfront building block — set to be their forever home — in late 2015 for $3.9 million.
Warner’s first home purchase, ­another two-bedroom Maroubra apartment, came in 2009 costing $562,000. It was sold in 2014 at $650,000 by the duo who retain an expansive property portfolio.
“You can’t go wrong on bricks and mortar,” the former Matraville Public School student once told The Daily Telegraph.

New Channel 9 Today sports presenter Alex Cullen is offloading his Maroubra investment unit.
Cullen, who spent nearly a decade as a senior correspondent on Channel 7’s flagship Sunday Night, called the two-bedroom apartment home when it was purchased in 2013.
But he and his producer wife Bonnie Campbell, with twins in tow, have been ­renting as they look to buy together.
The couple, who wed in 2017, welcomed daughters Audrie and Evie just over a year ago.
Recently Campbell revealed their struggle in buying a property on her Instagram account.
“Yes everyone, we’ve done it! We’ve scrimped and saved and forfeited enough smashed avocado to buy our very first house in Sydney,” Campbell captioned with a photo ­facetiously showing Alex and the twins in a children’s playground cubby house.
Cullen paid $602,500 seven years ago for the Maroubra apartment when he moved from Coogee.
One street back from Maroubra Beach, the second-level apartment is on the northeastern corner of a 1970s block.
Ellison Zulian Property agent Josh Ellison gave a $900,000 guide to the 16 buyer groups at yesterday’s first open.
The median two-bedroom Maroubra apartment price sits at $832,500, according to realestate.com.au.
It reports, based on five years of sales, Maroubra has seen an annual compound growth rate of 3 per cent.
Cullen grew up on a cattle farm in northern NSW, completed a journalism degree at Charles Sturt University and got his first big break in 2003 when he was hired at Prime News in Wagga Wagga

<div class="tg-tlc-storybody_intro">
Despite the new real estate marketing challenges, Channel 9 Today sports presenter Alex Cullen has secured the sale of his 1970s Maroubra investment unit.
</div>
It fetched a healthy $950,000.
There were two weeks of open for inspections, but its intending owner-occupier buyer emerged during its third week of marketing when only inspections by appointment were permissible.
The daughter of the buyer physically inspected the Hereward St apartment with Ellison Julian Property agent Josh Ellison. They provided FaceTime viewing to the mother, who was in isolation having returned recently from overseas.
Ellison had been quoting a $900,000 guide. Cullen paid $602,500 for the two-bedroom apartment back in 2013.
Now with one-year-old twins, he and his producer wife Bonnie Campbell are looking to buy something that will fit the family.

NRL legend Jim Dymock has secured the pre-auction sale of the longtime Maroubra home he shares with wife Leah.
They’re now set to relocate to the Gold Coast, where Dymock has been tasked with fixing the Titans’ leaky defence.
The Titans finished bottom of the ladder last season with the worst defence, conceding an average 27 points per game.
Dymock bought the coastal 1980s home for $720,000 in 1998 when he was playing with Parramatta Eels, where he spent most of his career.
He also had stints with the Western Suburbs and then the Canterbury Bulldogs.
He finished his on-field career in the UK at the London Broncos.
The four-bedroom 1980s-built home, updated over his ownership, spans two levels on its 230 square metre block. 
It had a pre-auction guide of $2 million through PRD agent Corrinne Oslen, meaning it is priced slightly under the suburb median for a four-bedroom home, which realestate.com.au puts at $2.2 million.
It did sell for an “outstanding price”.
Dymock has been travelling back and forth since his Titans appointment, having previously been assistant coach at Cronulla.
They will initially lease on the Gold Coast rather than buy.

NRL legend Jim Dymock secures pre-auction Maroubra sale

<html><body>
Rugby league legend Jim Dymock has listed in Maroubra­, given his move to take up coaching duties at the Gold Coast Titans.
Dymock, who played six State of Origins from 1996 to 1998, bought the Fitzgerald Avenue four-bedroom house for $720,000 in 1998 when playing with Parramatta Eels.
The 1980s-built home, updated over Dymock’s ownership, spans two levels on its 230 square metre block.
The ground level is dedicated to entertaining, with the kitchen, living and dining space opening to an entertaining terrace and pool.
PRD agent Corrinne Oslen, who has scheduled a December 7 auction, is marketing it as “beautifully appointed throughout with the finest of contemporary finishes and intuitively crafted to maximise the flow of natural light and space”.
Buyers are gleaning it ought to sell under the suburb median which realestate.com.au puts, for a four-bedroom home, at $2.2 million.
Dymock has been travelling back and forth since his appointment as Titans­ senior assistant coach. He was previously assistant coach at Cronulla.
He and wife Leah will initially lease on the Gold Coast rather than buy.
“I am really excited about joining the Titans,” Dymock told Titan fans earlier this month in a club update.
“Everyone knows the Gold Coast is a great city and a great place to live. But I am not going up there for the weather.”
Dymock’s role next season has been jestingly defined as the “Minister of Defence”.
The Titans had the worst defence in the NRL, conceding 27 points per game this year.

Matt Lahood, the chief executive of the ASX-listed real estate network, The Agency, and his wife Connie put their Maroubra home to auction yesterday.
But the downsizing couple had no joy. It was passed in on a $3 million vendor bid from the struggling auctioneer, who had just one registered bidder amid many longtime neighbours.
The Lahoods have owned the four-bedroom 1970s family home for eight years, bought when he was a McGrath Estate Agents executive. It cost $2.26 million in 2011 after its 2010 refurbishment.
The initial auction price guide was $3.2 million, which was revised to $3 million given his listing agent Tony Laing gauged buyer interest during the marketing campaign.

Rugby legend John Maxwell, who won 10 first grade premierships over his near two decade career, has listed his long held Maroubra home.
The former Australian captain, who played a club record 323 first grade games at Randwick Rugby across three decades, bought the family home for $775,000 in 1996 with wife Jennifer.
Set on an elevated 670 square metre block with ocean views, the coastal home has five bedrooms and two living areas.
An alfresco deck with pond overlooks the private gardens.
Phillips Pantzer Donnelley agent Jason Pantzer is selling the home with a guide of $2.8 million to $3 million.

Sydney Swan rookie Jordan Foote hasn't strayed far from his hometown when buying his first apartment.
The 22 year old midfielder snapped up a two bedroom unit in Maroubra for $877,500 after it spent just 15 days on the market.
It looks like a savvy purchase by Foote, after it had a guide of $895,000.
Foote's 68 sqm apartment features a granite kitchen with breakfast bar and a bathroom with walk-in rain water shower.
He secured a $650 a week tenant, reflecting a near four percent rental yield.
McGrath Edgecliff agents Eitan Rubinstein and Melissa McCormack sold the apartment.
The Maroubra local, who grew up playing AFL for the Maroubra Saints, was drafted by the Swans in the 2015 rookie draft.
Another two other apartments in the 1970s boutique block of nine have sold this year for $905,000 and $910,000.
Foote was drafted by the Swans in the 2015 rookie draft, making his debut the following year.
He hasn’t played a game for the Swans in 2018, battling a toe injury and has played six games in the NEAFL. 
Foote joins the likes of fellow Swans Isaac Heeney and Heath Grundy who call the suburb home.
Luke Parker has recently sold his investment townhouse in Maroubra, the first property he bought when he was xxxx in 2013.
It was the year he stepped up from the subs bench to become a regular starter.
He paid $915,000 for the townhouse in 2013 and just finished a renovation before he listed through Belle Property Randwick agents Brooke Marshall and Lucas McKay.
