Designed by global architecture practice <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/woods-bagot">Woods Bagot</a>, long-term collaborators of the Coronation team, the project draws inspiration from the Sydney Blue Gum High Forest and the leafy character of the South Chatswood Heritage Conservation Area.

“This is an important project for us and our first entry into the North Shore,” said Joe Nahas, Managing Director of &nbsp;Coronation Property.&nbsp;

Aras Labutis, Head of Urban Transformation at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/coronation-property">Coronation Property</a>, said the project reflects a disciplined, collaborative approach to city shaping.&nbsp;

“Chatswood sits at an important junction between high-density commercial activity and established residential &nbsp;neighbourhoods," Labutis said.

"Our focus for Archer &amp; Albert was to manage that transition carefully, respecting what’s already there &nbsp;while contributing something new that feels deliberate and enduring."

Coronation receives green light for Archer & Albert apartments in Chatswood

Leading Sydney developer <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/deicorp">Deicorp</a>, in partnership with Metrics Credit Partners, has officially broken ground on its landmark $1.8 billion Kings Bay Village project in <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/five-dock-nsw-2046">Five Dock</a>, marking the beginning of construction on one of the most significant urban renewal precincts within the Parramatta Road Corridor.

A sod-turning ceremony was held at the project site on Parramatta Road, with NSW Premier Chris Minns and NSW Planning Minister Paul Scully joining Deicorp Chairman Fouad Deiri OAM and Metrics CEO and Managing Partner Andrew Lockhart, to mark the significant milestone.

Located at 129-154 Parramatta Road, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/kings-bay-village-five-dock-53-75-queens-road-five-dock-nsw-2046">Kings Bay Village</a> will transform more than three hectares of underutilised land into a highly connected new neighbourhood comprising 1,185 homes, including 218 affordable dwellings for essential workers, alongside new retail, commercial, and community spaces.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=146120 project_image_fid=356895]

Designed by award-winning architects <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/turner-studio">TURNER</a>, the precinct blends crafted brick architecture with a pedestrian-focused urban layout across six buildings of varying scale. The project will deliver 14,700sqm of retail and commercial space, 6,500sqm of public open space, and a new 2,290sqm landscaped park and civic plaza that will form the social heart of the community.

Kings Bay Village is positioned minutes from the future Five Dock Metro Station, supporting the NSW Government and City of Canada Bay Council’s shared ambition for a more connected, liveable and revitalised Parramatta Road Corridor. Deicorp will also contribute more than $80 million towards new and upgraded local infrastructure, including pedestrian laneways, an activated streetscape and significant public domain works.

Fouad Deiri OAM, Chairman of Deicorp, said Kings Bay Village represents a defining opportunity for Sydney’s Inner West.

&nbsp;“Today marks the beginning of a precinct that will deliver lasting benefits for the Five Dock community - new homes, new open spaces, and a vibrant mixed-use environment that brings people closer to transport, services and amenities,"&nbsp;Deiri says.

“We are proud to be delivering much-needed housing, including affordable homes for essential workers, in partnership with the NSW Government and the City of Canada Bay. Kings Bay Village is urban renewal at its best - thoughtful, connected and community-focused.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=146120 project_image_fid=356894]

Metrics CEO and Managing Partner Andrew Lockhart said the company is proud to support more housing and infrastructure in a key Sydney corridor. 
&nbsp; 
“Metrics and Deicorp share a proven track record of delivering high-impact projects that align closely with the NSW Government’s housing and infrastructure priorities. Kings Bay Village marks our most significant Sydney development to date, offering quality homes, essential infrastructure, and dynamic public spaces.” 
&nbsp; 
“This project reflects our ongoing commitment to creating value by supporting economic growth, job creation, and delivering excellent outcomes for our investors,” he said.

With Kings Bay Village now underway, Deicorp’s pipeline of apartments under construction across Sydney has increased to 5,102. Kings Bay Village is scheduled for completion in Q2 of 2029.

When Antoinette Chan and her architect husband, Peter began casually searching for an investment property, they weren’t expecting it to evolve into a life-changing family decision.

But one visit to the display suite of <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/abadeen-group">Abadeen</a>’s <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/buildings/koyo-crows-nest-1-11-rodborough-avenue-crows-nest-nsw-2065">KOYO</a> development in Crows Nest changed everything, and sparked a remarkable story of three generations choosing to live side by side in one of the suburb's most architecturally-striking new developments.

Antoinette, her mother Janet Khoo, and her sister, who is currently living in Singapore, each purchased an apartment in the same building, creating a rare and meaningful multi-generational living arrangement underpinned by modern design, community values, and premium convenience.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108800 project_image_fid=356083]

“It wasn’t planned,” says Antoinette, who purchased a three-bedroom garden apartment with her husband and teenage daughter. “Peter came across KOYO and encouraged me to visit because he had a lot of respect for Abadeen’s previous work. As soon as we saw it, we knew it wasn’t just an investment, this was a home.”

Shortly after, Antoinette suggested her mother, Janet Khoo, take a look at the same development. A long-time inner-city resident who had recently sold her property in The Rocks, Janet had experienced some health setbacks and was contemplating a move closer to her daughter.

“I walked into the display apartment, and it just felt right,” says Janet. “I didn’t look anywhere else. The space, the simplicity of the design, the light, everything gave me a sense of peace. It’s a new beginning, but it also feels like home.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108800 project_image_fid=356093]

In a stroke of serendipity, Janet selected the two-bedroom apartment next door to her daughter, completely unaware of Antoinette’s purchase. Around the same time, Antoinette’s sister, who resides in Singapore, viewed the property via a virtual tour and chose to buy the apartment directly above Janet’s.

“We were all drawn to KOYO individually, and it just happened that our homes ended up vertically stacked, ground, first, and second floor,” Antoinette laughs. “It was a coincidence, but also a sign. This is where we’re meant to be.”

Designed by celebrated architect <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/koichi-takada-architects">Koichi Takada</a>, KOYO delivered on all fronts for the Chan-Khoo family.

“Our garden apartment gives us the feel of a standalone home but with none of the maintenance,” says Antoinette. “All three bedrooms open onto a generous private garden, which is perfect for our dog Archie, and for entertaining. The open-plan layout and high ceilings make it feel airy, calm and luxurious.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108800 project_image_fid=356092]

For Janet, security and accessibility were top priorities, and KOYO offered the ideal balance.

“At my age, I didn’t want to be climbing stairs,” she explains. “The first-floor apartment opens directly to the garden, and the building is small, which gives it a more personal, village-like feel. Yet I’m just steps away from my daughter and granddaughter. That gives me so much peace of mind.”

The family also appreciated the thoughtful amenities that avoided the excesses of some larger developments.

“We didn’t want a complex with too many facilities we wouldn’t use,” explains Antoinette. “KOYO has everything we need, generous storage, secure parking, beautifully landscaped walkways, and a stunning rooftop terrace with BBQ facilities that feels serene rather than busy.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108800 project_image_fid=355428]

The location was another critical factor in the family’s decision. Though they had always lived closer to Sydney’s eastern suburbs, Antoinette says the transformation of Crows Nest was a revelation.

“When we returned from living overseas, we discovered Crows Nest had become this vibrant, walkable hub,” she says. “We love being able to stroll to cafés, restaurants, and shops on Willoughby Road. The new Metro makes the commute into the CBD effortless, and our daughter can walk to her school, it’s just next door."

Janet agree. “I was worried about giving up my inner-city lifestyle, but I’ve fallen in love with this area. It has everything I need, supermarkets, quiet streets, friendly faces, and it’s all a short walk away. I feel safe, independent, and connected.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108800 project_image_fid=356085]

While design and location were important, the family also credits their decision to Abadeen’s reputation and responsiveness. With decades of experience delivering high-quality residential projects, Abadeen’s track record helped build trust during a volatile market period.

“The waiting game was tough, especially after selling my old apartment,” says Janet. “But the Abadeen team kept me updated every step of the way. They were professional, courteous, and transparent.”

Antoinette said Peter works in property and had already heard of Abadeen. "The quality of their work really impressed us, and as the project neared completion, they went above and beyond to keep us informed and supported. That level of communication is rare.”

Only a handful of three-bedroom residences remain for sale, priced from $3.5 million.

Sydney-based developer Gold Partners Australia is making its move on the Gold Coast, launching what is one of the most affordable towers to the booming Broadbeach market.

Its <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/harmony-on-broadbeach-2797-gold-coast-highway-broadbeach-qld-4218">Harmony on Broadbeach</a> project, just 400m from the beach, has prices starting from $975,000 for its two-bedroom apartments that measure nearly 90 sqm internally.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=113098 project_image_fid=355607]

There will be 113 two- and three-bedroom apartments spread out across the 33-storey tower on the 1,201 sqm site that will front First Avenue. Gold Partners Australia, which has delivered several major projects in Sydney's Norwest and has an active pipeline with projects in Hornsby and Carlingford, secured the block vacant, and want to start preliminary site works early next year through their in-house construction capability.

DBI Architects designed the tower with a four-level podium which will have an open-air swimming pool, sun deck, outdoor lounges, alfresco dining spaces, and a gym with adjoining yoga lawn. A hospitality venue will anchor the building at street level.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=113098 project_image_fid=355611]

Olympus Property Group is selling Harmony on Broadbeach on behalf of Gold Partners Australia. Olympus Director Deanna Lockett says the project is resonating with everyone from locals, investors, those moving from interstate, and second home buyers from Brisbane.

"There's been nothing new come to the market in Broadbeach at this price point for nearly a year," Lockett recalls. "It hits the sweet spot of affordability, good sized apartments, in a great location."

Construction will commence in Q2 2026, and wrap up, all going well, by the end of 2028.

Display apartments play a crucial role in helping buyers imagine how a space will look and feel once complete.

At <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/the-albertine-by-mirvac-melbourne-31-queens-lane-melbourne-vic-3004">The Albertine</a> in Melbourne, development giant Mirvac has partnered with furniture maker and retailer MCM House to create a fully furnished, full-scale prototype that showcases the proportions, finishes, and design intent of the project’s three-bedroom residences.

As an added incentive, purchasers of any two- or three-bedroom apartment can receive up to $50,000 worth of MCM House furniture, allowing them to curate their new home with the same craftsmanship, contemporary design, and aesthetic showcased in the display apartment.

<a data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="ae2e947b-2d51-4288-88fa-a35638e3be0f" href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/the-albertine-by-mirvac-melbourne-31-queens-lane-melbourne-vic-3004"><img alt="Albertine" data-entity-type="" data-entity-uuid="" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202025-11-25%20at%209.27.26%E2%80%AFAM_1.png?VersionId=T5uSwgtTFwd1m5EdQF1inB.tBDgxqbtZ" /></a>

Oversized sofas, solid timber dining tables, and relaxed, low-profile seating demonstrate how the space accommodates real furniture, helping buyers clearly visualise how their new apartment could look, complete with pieces that genuinely suit the scale and design of the home.

The styling is simple but deliberate, with materials that pick up on the apartment’s natural light and neutral tones, creating cohesion without crowding the space.

Mirvac is now welcoming buyers through the display at The Albertine. Quietly yet conveniently positioned just off St Kilda Road on Queens Road, the development has attracted strong interest from inner-Melbourne and Bayside downsizers, professional couples seeking luxurious low-maintenance living, and design-focused buyers who want proximity to the CBD.

Apartments have been designed by Mirvac's inhouse design team with owner-occupiers at the forefront.&nbsp;The living and dining areas open directly onto a balcony, reinforcing the project’s emphasis on indoor-outdoor flow, while kitchens feature integrated appliances and soft-curve cabinetry which mirror the larger architectural themes at play throughout the building.

Palm Beach apartments

Buyers have made a rush at the only new off-the-plan beachfront apartment project to arrive in Palm Beach, with 5Point Projects’ Ophira selling over half of its units following its launch late last year.

Capitalising on the absence of ultra-luxury apartments in the Gold Coast's newly established millionaire's row on Jefferson Lane, the $60 million <a href="/new-apartments/ophira-105-107-jefferson-lane-palm-beach">Ophira Palm Beach</a> has successfully sold five of its entire floor residences, each fetching over $7 million.

5Point Director, Damian Dove, says it’s been a phenomenon driven by local buyers enticed by the level of luxury and space offered in Ophira coupled with the fact it is the only absolute beachfront project in Palm Beach and currently in market.

“I think the locality of buyers we’ve welcomed is a huge testament to Ophira’s appeal to discerning locals who have a deep appreciation and understanding of the projects positioning as one of the coasts’ most coveted residential addresses.” Dove said.

"Ophira is the only absolute off the plan beachfront project currently in market situated in the highly sought after Jefferson Lane precinct. Our expectations for the project were high and they have been not only met but exceeded."

Ophira <a href="/new-apartments/palm-beach-qld-4221">Palm Beac</a>h comprises just seven full-floor apartments and a sprawling two-level penthouse.

Each full-floor residence will span between 290 sqm to 317 sqm, including balconies with uninterrupted ocean views. They will have three ensuited bedrooms, display wine storage, and a scullery off the kitchen.

Ophira’s two-level penthouse will deliver 637 sqm of internal and external living space, comprising four bedrooms, five bathrooms and its own private outdoor entertainment area featuring a pool, spa, sauna, sundeck, with teppanyaki bar, a sunken lounge and fire pit.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=138441 project_image_fid=221553]

“As with each of our projects, we wanted to create something that differentiated itself from the market," Dove added.

"I think the sales we’ve achieved to date are a strong indication that our aptitude for quality design and remarkable architecture are resonating with buyers.

“Given the rate with which apartments have been purchased to date, we expect the remaining apartments to sell out fast.”

Construction is officially underway on the project. Prices start from&nbsp;$6.55 million.

Luxury Palm Beach apartment development Ophira races to 50% sold

Sherpa has launched its latest apartment development in their sought-after Perspective series, and another in the equally <a href="/developments/palm-beach-qld-4221">sought-after Palm Beach</a>.

They've already sold half of&nbsp;<a href="/new-apartments/perspective-nexus">Perspective Nexus</a> – a collection of 32 apartments on the prized eastern side of the Gold Coast Highway which allows the project to take in sweeping views over the sand and out across the ocean.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108324 project_image_fid=232460]

Originally envisioned as a 14-level project, an appeal in August led to a strategic shift in approaching the project with an emphasis on enhanced liveability for owners over quantity.

Read more:&nbsp;<a href="/news/qld/sherpa-revise-plans-for-perspective-nexus-palm-beach-apartments">Sherpa revise plans for Perspective Nexus Palm Beach apartments</a>

The revised plans for <a href="/new-apartments/perspective-nexus">Perspective Nexus</a> now comprises one two-bedroom apartment, 21 three-bed apartments each with a multi-purpose room, and five four-bedroom apartments. Also on offer are two penthouses and three two-level skyhomes with private rooftops.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108324 project_image_fid=231829]

Perspective Nexus marks Sherpa's third venture in <a href="/developments/palm-beach-qld-4221">Palm Beach</a>, following the highly successful Perspective 488 project, which sold out within three months, and its fast-tracked sibling, Perspective Two Sea. Together, these projects achieved a combined sales total exceeding $70 million.

Designed by Hayes Anderson Lynch Architects, every apartment at Perspective Nexus has a spacious living area and home office to address the growing need for work-from-home requirements.&nbsp;

Upper-level apartments with private northeast balconies provide ample solar access and views extending from Currumbin Alley to the Pacific Ocean.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108324 project_image_fid=232526]

The new plans also reveal a host of adjustments, including adding more than 70 car parks to the site for both residents and visitors – exceeding requirements to ensure owners and their guests have access to ample onsite parking.

<a href="/new-apartments/perspective-nexus">Perspective Nexu</a>s will home an array of luxurious communal amenities, including a dedicated wellness space featuring a magnesium spa, outdoor kitchen, sauna, hot and cold pools, a steam room, and a wellness garden for residents to enjoy the beachside ambience.&nbsp;

Additional amenities and features will include an electric car charging station, individual apartment storage, a car wash bay, a dog wash, and parcel delivery storage, including a cold store.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108324 project_image_fid=231830]

Sherpa's expansion of the Perspective collection also extends to the north with the sold-out Perspective Broadwater, a development overlooking the esplanade and waterfront of Biggera Waters.&nbsp;

Perspective on Albatross, another one in Sherpa's Perspective collection, is nearing completion in Mermaid Beach.

Construction is planned to start in the first quarter of 2024 and be completed in the third quarter of 2025.

Sherpa launch Perspective Nexus, Palm Beach apartments

Builder developer 5Point Projects is aiming to set a new benchmark of luxury living on the Palm Beach beachfront with the reveal of their $60 million project, Ophira Palm Beach.

Ophira Palm Beach, just seven full-floor apartments and a two-level penthouse, is the only off the plan beachfront apartment development in market on Jefferson Lane, which has become the southern Gold Coast's millionaire's row in recent years.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=138441 project_image_fid=221546]

Each full-floor apartment will offer between 290 sqm to 317 sqm of internal and outdoor living space. The living areas have been designed to take in as much of the ocean views as possible, through the floor-to-ceiling windows and the full-width balconies that open from the living space.

The apartments have three bedrooms, each with an ensuite, as well as a study and a multi-purpose room. The kitchens feature stone benchtops, a tucked away scullery, and wine storage.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=138441 project_image_fid=221548]

Ophira’s two-level penthouse will deliver an expansive 637 sqm of living space with four bedrooms, four bathrooms and its own private outdoor entertainment area featuring a pool, spa, sundeck with teppanyaki bar, and a sunken lounge with a fire pit.

Ophira Palm Beach residents will enjoy a sanctuary of calm with shared amenities on level one including an exclusive plunge pool and sun deck plus a communal garden which will be a focal point for relaxation and wellbeing.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=138441 project_image_fid=221545]

5Point have a long track record of constructing some of the most premium projects in Palm Beach.

“We are salivating over delivering Ophira to the market because of its sublime absolute beachfront location over two blocks at a time when there just aren’t any beachfront sites in the market,” said 5Point director Damian Dove.

“There is also incredible demand in Palm Beach for luxury apartment living but just not the stock or the capacity to build.

“We are fortunate that we are in a position to build immediately and the inquiries for Ophira despite having little marketing attention until now has been quite remarkable.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=138441 project_image_fid=221553]

Dove says Ophira has been highly anticipated by the local market, close to the cosmopolitan heart of Palm Beach, combined with its spacious living and the supreme privacy.

Jamie Bourke and Dylan Molloy of ARC Project Marketing said Ophira presents a unique opportunity for downsizers looking for high-end product where there are very limited opportunities.

"Not only is there nothing like this in the market, but we have gone to extraordinary lengths to create a project that will be an absolute icon for the southern Gold Coast,”&nbsp;Molloy said.

“5Point have infused Ophira with lavish coastal elegance, taking the best of beachfront living back to its roots with each of these residences offering the ultimate in privacy where homeowners can truly immerse themselves in this beautiful part of the Gold Coast.”

Prices start from $6.35 million.

Lacey Group complete The Monroe, Palm Beach apartment development

Gold Coast developer Sherpa Property Group has lodged a new development application for its <a href="/new-apartments/perspective-nexus">Perspective Nexus development in Palm Beach</a>.

The code-assessable project on a 1,583sqm site at <a href="/new-apartments/perspective-nexus">949-953 Gold Coast Highway</a>, will rise nine storeys and deliver just 32 apartments, including two half-floor penthouses and three skyhomes with their own private rooftops.

Sherpa’s latest development is the company’s 12th for the Gold Coast region and comes on the heels of a reimagination of the site which is located adjacent to Dune Café and overlooks the Palm Beach Parklands.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108324 project_image_fid=232526]

The proposed development is the product of a detailed design process led by HAL Architects that has taken into account the requirements of the Gold Coast city plan and the expectations of the local community.

Council's approval for the original development application was overturned by an appeal in August, an outcome that Sherpa Founder Christie Leet took as an opportunity rather than a setback.

We are excited to launch our new development in the coming months which has been carefully designed to be the best code assessable project in this world-class location,” said&nbsp;Leet.

"It's a superb site, next to the beach, Currumbin Creek, and the Pirate Park, so our mission was to make beach living even better.

"The Gold Coast, especially this Palm Beach location, can deliver a lifestyle that is the envy of the world so we wanted to facilitate and enhance that lifestyle."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108324 project_image_fid=231830]

Sherpa had initially sought a 14-level project, but they've gone back to the drawing board with its latest proposal.

“After taking onboard community feedback from the original design, we are now submitting an entirely new proposal that has been scaled back to nine levels to ensure it is a code assessable development,”&nbsp; Leet added.

“We are deeply committed to delivering a landmark residential project that provides the best beachside living at Palm Beach and we are looking forward to progressing the project once approvals have been granted.”

Buyers who previously signed up for apartments in Nexus will be given the first opportunity to purchase residences in the new development, which Sherpa expects to account for a large number of pre-sales.

“Many of our earlier buyers have shown faith in our vision for the site and, as a result, we are expecting a number of sales to be secured straight out of the gate prior to market launch,”&nbsp;Leet said.

“We will be working with the original buyers first, before releasing the project to the public in the coming weeks.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108324 project_image_fid=232452]

The development will deliver a suite of luxury two, three and four-bedroom apartments, ranging from 112 sqm to 661 sqm. The apartments on the upper levels will offer views of Currumbin Alley 
and beyond to the Pacific Ocean.

The luxury development is primed for owner occupiers and downsizers who will enjoy unrivalled residents’ recreational and work-from home amenities.

“Our aim is to create a development that offers spacious designs with the best floorplans available on the Gold Coast,”&nbsp; Leet said.

“The plans are in line with community feedback and deliver a more boutique look with enhanced design elements such as increased planting and greenery to ensure effortless integration with the suburb's surrounds.”

Perspective Nexus will introduce a wide range of luxurious communal amenities for residents, including a dedicated wellness space with features such as a magnesium spa, outdoor kitchen, sauna, hot and cold pools and steam room along with a wellness garden for residents to embrace the beachside surrounds.

The new plans reveal a host of adjustments, including the addition of more than 70 car parks to the site for both residents and visitors – exceeding requirements to ensure owners and their guests have access to ample onsite parking.

Additional amenities and features of Perspective Nexus will include an electric car charging station, individual apartment storage, car wash bay and a parcel delivery storage including a cold store.

In view of the project being code assessable, the company anticipates development approval will be granted by February.

Construction is planned to start in the first quarter of 2024 for completion in the third quarter of 2025.

Palm Beach is renowned for its pristine beaches, vibrant dining scene, and natural beauty. Set to be nestled in the heart of the coastal community is Eva Tenth Avenue, a small boutique development that weaves together the tapestry of the evolving story of the area.

EVA Tenth Avenue: Where coastal living meets lasting roots

Palm Beach's dress circle Jefferson Lane is set to receive an injection of more luxury apartments.

The beachfront strip in the south of the Gold Coast has been busy in the last few years, with the likes of Graya, Lacey Group, and Daascon all developing on the exclusive strip.

The latest plans are by the Brisbane-based Green Leaves childcare boss Michael Hovey, who spent $6.35 million on the home on 597 sqm in December. Hovey also owns next door, which was bought for $3.5 million in 2017, making the amalgamated lot 1,194 sqm.

He's proposing just 10 apartments across a 12-level building, which would see it climb 42.9 metres, well above the building height allowance of 29 metres.

<img alt="71 Jefferson Lane" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="dc4855e2-9b30-4850-8f4f-56aa2ee040a8" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202023-05-19%20at%203.25.13%20pm.png?VersionId=rYWh6MB0QTjPBvh4RcMlW7QaaDc.PdRv" />

Town planner UPS argue however that, because the project is&nbsp;located in an ‘Urban neighbourhood’, the City Plan sets out provisions for an increase in height if development can demonstrate achievement of a number of architectural and contextual principles set out within the strategic framework.

Local architecture firm Plus were engaged to design the project, which they write in their documents filed to the Gold Coast City Council, "offers luxurious and thoughtfully designed living with breathtaking panoramic ocean views."

"The architecture of the building is designed to mimic the sculptural forms of sand shaped by water, with car ved elements providing relief and protection to the apartments, while also grounding the building into to the earth. The apartments are oriented towards the north-eastern aspect, with the sculptural forms peeling away to provide uninterrupted coastal views.

<img alt="71 Jefferson Lane" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="83810233-449e-4ae6-8f91-e2846c70a1ca" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202023-05-19%20at%203.25.19%20pm.png?VersionId=6Hy86rvoCWzQv6UpbaDr4PCVohws_AB0" />

"The building is visually divided into three horizontal sections, the lower levels reflecting the solidity of rocky shores and solid earth, while the typical apartment levels reflect the fluidity and delicacy of sand."

Each apartment spans a whole floor, apart from the split-level penthouse which spreads across levels 11 and 12.

The ground floor apartment has 304 sqm of internal area and a 47 sqm balcony, while the floorplate for apartments across levels one to nine is 347 sqm of internal living space and a 41 sqm balcony.

Each will have four bedrooms, one a master suite with walk in wardrobe and ensuite. There's a multi-purpose room, wine storage, and a butler's pantry in the kitchen.

<img alt="71 Jefferson Lane" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="4345c74e-eedd-4c87-97f4-71362957a4a1" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202023-05-19%20at%203.25.09%20pm.png?VersionId=nnf_dB5mJAVaqqynFdDAi8GMB5U6q9Dy" />

The sprawling penthouse has four bedrooms on the first level, a gym and a library. A spiral staircase leads to the second level where there's the main kitchen living and dining area, a fifth bedroom, a study, a mutli-purpose room, and a wine room. Both levels have balconies.

The upper ground floor will home the resident amenity which will include a&nbsp;swimming pool with spa and wet deck, a gym, steam room and sauna, dining pods, outdoor shower, surf rack storage, and a fire pit area.

"Overall, the twelve storey residence at Palm Beach along Jefferson Lane is a stunning example of luxury architecture and design, offering residents a sense of exclusivity and privacy, as well as stunning coastal views and easy beach access," Plus wrote.

There's been plenty happening on Jefferson Lane in recent years.&nbsp;Homebuilder turned luxury apartment developer Graya <a href="/news/qld/graya-unveil-second-gold-coast-apartment-project">are set to launch Kloud</a>&nbsp;which they are expecting to be approved imminently.

The Lacey Group are currently building The Monroe, after its sell-out by Pezet Matheson. The Lacey Group has previously developed The Jefferson on the strip before.

Aurelia is currently on the market by Samy Saad's Daascon. Prices start from $6.35 million for their whole-floor apartments.

Seven Group media heir Ryan Stokes secured approval for a <a href="/news/qld/seven-boss-ryan-stokes-lodges-plans-for-palm-beach-apartment-development-akuna">boutique project Akuna</a> at 39-41 Jefferson Lane, but no sign of a project launch there.
