<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/chermside-qld-4032">Chermside</a> is better known for bus interchanges and Westfield than for high-end apartment towers. Kabbalah, on Playfield Street, is a deliberate push against that reputation.

Developed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/playfield-developments">Playfield Developments</a>, the building holds 64 apartments, all three and four bedrooms, across its 13 storeys. The apartments are generous by any measure: lower-floor three-bedrooms start at 164 sqm, each with a multi-purpose room and private balcony, while the north-facing penthouse stretches to 382 sqm. Every residence comes with two car spaces.

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/ana-architects">ANA Architects</a>, the Brisbane firm behind the 25-storey Willahra Tower on Queen Street and the 45-storey Mantra on Mary in the CBD, shaped the building around curved forms drawn from the natural landscape. Balcony gardens run throughout, with planter boxes worked into the private outdoor spaces of each apartment, giving residents greenery at the threshold rather than just at the rooftop.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=149578 project_image_fid=354319]

That rooftop carries its own weight: a pool, landscaped gardens, and outdoor entertaining areas sit above the city, designed as much for quiet evenings as for hosting. The wellness offering continues at ground level, where a centre with pool, sauna, and communal lounge zones anchors the building's other end. Together they give the building a rhythm, somewhere to arrive at the top and somewhere to retreat to below.

The site itself is part of the pitch. "One of the last available sites to develop in an established precinct," is how Playfield Developments describes the Playfield Street address, and the surrounding context backs that up. Westfield Chermside, the second largest Westfield in Australia, is within a few minutes on foot, along with its dining precinct and cinema complex.&nbsp;

The Chermside bus interchange connects directly to the Brisbane CBD and across the northern suburbs via more than 20 Translink routes, with the CBD roughly 15 minutes away by road. The Prince Charles Hospital, one of Queensland's major teaching hospitals and the state's leading cardiac centre, is roughly a kilometre up the road on Rode Road.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=149578 project_image_fid=354321]

Place Projects is handling sales, bringing a track record across some of Queensland's largest residential developments. Early buyer response has centred on the finishes and scale, "buyers consistently comment on the high-quality finishes throughout the apartments," the sales team notes, pointing to craftsmanship and considered design as the recurring draw.&nbsp;

"They're looking for generously sized apartments that offer both space and functionality, combined with a strong lifestyle offering," Place Projects says.

Construction has been awarded to Clearcon, with completion slated for late 2027. Pricing runs from $1.5 million for a lower-floor three-bedroom up to $3.65 million for the penthouse.

Playfield Developments brings 64 apartments to Chermside with Kabbalah

More than 3,000 dwellings are currently selling or gearing up to launch across Surfers Paradise, the suburb’s most concentrated apartment pipeline in years. At least eight projects are already in market, with more moving through registration and presale, creating a meaningful wave of new supply.

This isn’t happening in a vacuum. Strong interstate migration into Queensland, particularly the Gold Coast, continues to underpin demand, with the local population expected to push past 800,000 in the early 2030s.

We’re also seeing solid early-stage buyer activity. As usual, the earliest phases tend to offer the best mix of pricing and choice, before the more popular layouts get snapped up.

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/exhale-surfers-paradise-8-enderley-avenue-surfers-paradise-qld-4217">Exhale</a> is the newest apartment development to launch in Surfers Paradise.

Exhale, being developed by SIERA, comprises just 54 apartments, a density not often seen in Surfers. It sits on the corner of Enderley Avenue and Garfield Terrace, just off Northcliffe Beach. SIERA Founder and Managing Director Brent Thompson spent over a year trying to secure the rare beachside site.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112661 project_image_fid=359603]

SIERA engaged BDA Architecture to design the building, with a striking glass curtain wall&nbsp;façade.

Offering two-, three-, and four-bedroom apartments, Exhale will also offer its residents a two-level wellness podium with a heated magnesium pool, spa, sauna, Nordic&nbsp;cold shower, and biophilic designed landscaped gardens.

There's also a dedicated Pilates and yoga studio, library and reading retreat, cinema lounge, and private dining room with a private bar and wine cellar.

Paradiso Place is the largest project currently in market in Surfers Paradise. Developer SPG Land recently begun construction on its 845-unit development they are bringing to 103 Ferny Avenue.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=106566 project_image_fid=185858]

At this scale, it’s effectively its own sub-market, offering a wide mix of configurations across multiple price points, from entry-level investor stock through to larger owner-occupier product. Amenities include a pool, gym, and outdoor spaces.

With projects of this size, early buyers typically benefit most from the broader selection before key layouts are taken up.

26 Vista has benefitted from the boom in Surfers Paradise over the last few years. Over 70 per cent of the 280 apartments have sold, with the remaining priced from $1.86 million.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112730 project_image_fid=365605]

26 Vista, being developed by MRCB, is scheduled to complete in late 2030 and has attracted strong interest from locals and interstate buyers, Matt George, from project marketer Urban Activation, says.

“The diverse mix of buyers we’ve seen investing in this development stands as a testament to the superior product that is being offered. 26 Vista is truly the gold standard for coastal living, with its thoughtfully considered design and its commitment to providing residents with five-star luxury in sub-tropical surrounds.”

Away from the beach and closer to the Budds Beach area of Surfers Paradise is Homecorp's new tower, Florence Residences.

<h2 data-end="5234" data-section-id="1kp72fk" data-start="5187">What Buyers Should Weigh Up Before Enquiring</h2>

Where a project sits in the development cycle matters just as much, if not more than, the price.

An off-the-plan apartment at registration stage may offer the lowest entry point, but it typically comes with a 24–36 month settlement timeline.

Later-stage projects trade some of that upside for greater certainty, so the right choice ultimately depends on your timeframe, risk appetite, and what you’re prioritising: price, selection, or delivery.

The 3,000 apartments to reshape Surfers Paradise skyline

An $8 million penthouse has sold at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/pomeroy-pacific-quattro-corp">PQD</a>’s <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/kooyongkoot-hawthorn-1-kooyongkoot-road-hawthorn-vic-3122">Kooyongkoot</a> development in Hawthorn, marking one of the highest apartment sales ever recorded in the suburb and across the wider City of Boroondara.&nbsp;

The three-bedroom penthouse, featuring two living areas, a study and expansive outdoor living across two levels, including a rooftop pool, spans 577 sqm, with nearly 300 sqm of internal living space and a further 281 sqm externally.

The penthouse was purchased by a Melbourne-based CEO, who is downsizing from a large family home nearby, and will move into the apartment with his two adult children.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=102717 project_image_fid=355297]

“Our family is entering a new phase, and apartment living offered an opportunity to embrace a different lifestyle while still having the space we’re used to,” the buyer said.&nbsp;

“Kooyongkoot immediately gave us confidence in the developer. Every detail feels deliberate, from the overall design down to the smallest touches. The level of quality and refinement is exceptional, but what really sold it was how liveable it felt. My wife and I loved features like the dog wash, oversized storage rooms and private garages because they showed genuine thought for everyday life. It felt like a place where everything had been considered, not just a luxury building.”&nbsp;

Designed by award-winning architecture studio <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/cera-stribley-architects">Cera Stribley</a>, Kooyongkoot comprises just 18 luxury residences within <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/hawthorn-vic-3122">Hawthorn</a>’s tightly held Scotch Hill precinct.&nbsp;

The development incorporates a curated suite of lifestyle amenities, including a private wellness centre featuring infrared and traditional saunas, massage and therapy rooms, a yoga and pilates studio, a gymnasium and cold therapy shower, alongside a residents’ retreat, a golf simulator and other convenience features.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=102717 project_image_fid=355303]

The buyer said the penthouse’s scale and design were key factors in the decision.&nbsp;

“The layout offers the same core living spaces you would expect in a large family home, which makes multi-generational living comfortable, but without the ongoing maintenance of a freestanding house.

“The wellness facilities and rooftop space were also compelling. They’re rare in a building of this size and add another dimension to the lifestyle the development offers,” he said.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=102717 project_image_fid=355262]

Mark Pomeroy, Director of PDQ, said the purchase reflects a broader shift in Melbourne’s prestige apartment market, where downsizers are increasingly seeking larger residences that allow adult children to remain at home longer while maintaining independence.&nbsp;

“We’re seeing more families choose apartment living without sacrificing space. For many downsizers, the reality is that adult children are staying at home longer, so buyers are looking for large apartments that allow everyone to live comfortably.”&nbsp;

Research conducted by the University of Melbourne in 2024 found that just over half of young men (54%) and 47% of young women aged 18 to 29 years old are still living under the same roof as their parents.&nbsp;

The penthouse sale places the transaction among the highest apartment sales ever recorded in the City of Boroondara, with only a handful of comparable penthouse deals including Victoria Hill in Camberwell (around $15 million) and Rondure House in Kew (around $6.5 million).&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=102717 project_image_fid=355304]

Located on prestigious Kooyongkoot Road in Hawthorn, the development sits within walking distance of parklands, private schools, Auburn Village and Camberwell Junction, and offers direct tram access to Melbourne’s CBD. Kooyongkoot’s main building structure was completed in March 2026, with residents expected to move in from November 2026.&nbsp;

A limited selection of residences remains available, offering penthouse scale living without traditional penthouse pricing. Options range from oversized two-bedroom apartments to corner three-bedroom residences with private three-car garages and generous storage. Pricing starts from $1.9m, rising to the mid-to-high $4 million range. The final penthouse is available for private viewing upon request.&nbsp;

Kooyongkoot is being delivered by PQD (Pomeroy Quattro Developments), a Melbourne-based development partnership focused on creating boutique, design-led residential projects in premium locations across the city.&nbsp;

Kooyongkoot records $8m penthouse sale as multi-gen leads the way

Excited buyers in <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/abadeen">Abadeen</a>'s debut Gold Coast apartment development, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/villea-palm-beach-26-mawarra-street-palm-beach-qld-4221">Villea</a> at Palm Beach, are almost ready to walk through their brand new apartments.

The Mawarra Street project is entering its final construction phase, with interiors now taking shape ahead of completion in the coming months. The 69-residence development, located just 400 metres from the beachfront, introduces a mix of two and three-bedroom apartments to a part of the Gold Coast where demand has steadily shifted toward larger, owner-occupier-focused layouts.

Abadeen, alongside selling agents <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/project-marketer/srq-projects">SRQ Projects</a>, has held back a selection of its most premium residences until the final release. The remaining three-bedroom apartments, each spanning more than 150 sqm of combined internal and outdoor space, are positioned toward the upper levels of the low-rise building.

Corner positioning is a defining feature in many of the three-bedroom residences, particularly those with north-east orientation. This brings natural light throughout the day and enables cross-ventilation across the main living spaces. Full-height glazing reinforces the connection between indoors and outdoors, with the living zone and adjoining balcony functioning as a continuous space.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=106840 project_image_fid=336449]

The kitchen is integrated into the central living area, anchored by stone benchtops, European appliances, and bespoke joinery. Engineered oak flooring runs throughout the main living spaces, creating a consistent material palette.

Bedrooms are arranged to separate the primary suite from the secondary rooms. The master typically includes a walk-in robe and ensuite with double vanity, while the additional bedrooms are positioned for privacy from the main living areas. Several layouts also incorporate a dedicated study zone, reflecting the increasing need for flexible work-from-home arrangements.

Outdoor space has been treated as an extension of the apartment rather than an afterthought. Balconies are proportioned to accommodate both dining and seating, allowing for everyday use rather than occasional entertaining. In upper-level residences, these spaces also capture broader coastal views, including sightlines toward Burleigh Headland and Snapper Rocks.

SRQ Projects Director Nick Clydsdale said the ability for buyers to soon walk through the apartments and experience their scale and aspect firsthand is expected to drive strong final demand.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=106840 project_image_fid=336450]

Abadeen’s approach to Villea reflects a deliberate focus on owner-occupiers, particularly downsizers and local buyers seeking larger homes near the beach. Founder Justin Brown said the project aligns with the group’s emphasis on “design-led living, premium quality, and the convenience we are bringing for residents to feel part of a perfect beachside community.”

"It is a particularly special project for us, being our first with spectacular ocean views, just metres from the water and with the addition of ground-floor retail."

[smartcode_project_cta:default project_id=106840]

Inside the three-bedroom apartments at Villea Palm Beach

For more than 170 years, the Buckingham Arms Hotel stood as a cornerstone of Gilberton’s social life. First opened in 1849, the hotel quickly became a gathering place for locals, evolving alongside the suburb as Adelaide expanded north of the CBD.

Generations of families passed through its doors, with the Simpson family stewarding the venue for decades before the Matthews family introduced its famous smorgasbord in 1955, an offering that became a local institution.

When the hotel closed in 2022, it marked the end of a remarkable chapter in Gilberton’s history while setting the stage for a new era at the site.

Local builder-developer Citify secured the property and plans to fully restore the hospitality venue, returning it to its former grandeur. The project will also expand the broader precinct, incorporating a new apartment building designed to complement the heritage character of the longstanding pub.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=149055 project_image_fid=363676]

Citify Founder and Managing Director Joel Wilkinson says the opportunity to acquire such a unique site was a no-brainer.

“Gilberton is among the top five blue-chip suburbs in Adelaide,” Wilkinson says. “It’s incredibly desirable, and very few opportunities exist to develop in such a small, prestige suburb.”

Only 22 houses in the suburb sold last year, and 2021 Census data shows just over 130 apartments in the area, making it difficult to enter the tightly held property market. “It’s incredibly competitive to get into Gilberton,” Wilkinson adds.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=149055 project_image_fid=363677]

The Buckingham will almost double the number of apartments in the suburb. It will comprise 173 new one, two, and three-bedroom apartments, which are already proving popular with a mix of young professionals, local rightsizers, and downsizers. The development will also include 13 expansive two-storey homes with private courtyard gardens.

Future residents at The Buckingham will have private access to a significant amount of amenity, including a swimming pool, accompanied by a full pool deck with day beds and alfresco spaces, as well as a gym and sauna.

Construction has commenced, with completion expected in 2028.

Poll Of The Day

<html><body>
Landlords, do you think that dog owners are better tenants?
RE/MAX WA managing director Geoff Baldwin believes that opting for tenants with dogs and pets may actually be a better option.
“The general feeling is that a dog may in some way damage the property however as an experienced manager of large rent rolls I have found this to be far from the truth and in many ways quite the opposite applies,” said Baldwin.
“Considering, or even welcoming applications from dog owners has two major advantages for the landlord in that these tenants will usually pay a premium rent and they are much less likely to move because it’s harder for them to find another pet friendly property owner,” he said.
He says that while it “may sound brutal” often more damage can be done by young children than by a dog, yet no one considers banning families with children from applying.
“Of course it is important to take into account the size of the dog, whether or not it is a breed that sheds fur, its age, whether it’s an inside or outside dog and any other information that can be gleaned before making a final decision,” he said.
He also suggests seeking feedback from previous landlords. In Western Australia, the property owner does have the ability to legally ask for an additional ‘pet bond’ – a luxury not necessarily available in the other states and territories.
“In a more competitive rental market as is predicted for 2015, owners should be looking at ways to make their property more attractive and actually inviting tenants with dogs to apply is a huge point of difference,” he said.

When you’re listing a residential property, there’s usually plenty to run with.
A beautiful front façade image in the dim light with all the porch lights on? Gorgeous.
An outdoors verandah near the pool where you can place a, debatably effective, bottle of wine? It has been done.
But what do the experts opt for when it’s just a simple block of land? We decided to have a look.
This first offering – <a href="https://www.realestate.com.au/property-lifestyle-nsw-inverell-7687479" target="_blank">Monatana in New South Wales’ Inverell</a> – is a series of blocks offered through Landmark Harcourts. They’ve done a great job at the opening photo (below), with an evocative picture of a boat on the river, and use their gallery to show off the features of the land blocks. Dams, scrub and even a tent feature in the images.

The land, priced from $105,000 to $115,000 for over 500 square metre offerings, can also be bought together but advertise themselves to first home buyers.

The rate of price growth in the housing market has peaked, with prices to grow modestly over the fourth quarter and beyond, according to LJ Hooker’s Buyers’/Sellers’ Market Index.
Sellers were in favour over the third quarter, but now it’s buyers that may be given the upper hand.
In New South Wales, Victoria and Queensland, the third quarter recorded the ninth of favourable selling conditions. This is indicated by statistics that show sales outstrip listings.
Meanwhile, in Western Australia and the ACT the markets remain balanced, while Tasmania has been in favour of buyers.
While sellers were still in favour in the third quarter, LJ Hooker national research manager Matthew Tiller said that it was important to note that the index was a record result for sellers and may have reached its peak.
“According to the ABS [Australian Bureau of Statistics], the rate of growth of finance commitments peaked in the second quarter after considerable growth over the last three years,” said Tiller.
“As price growth returns to a more sustainable level and listings come on to the market for the spring and summer selling seasons, we forecast a gradual shift back towards a buyers’ market,” he said.
Western Australia, Tasmania and ACT offer immediate future and opportunities for house growth, according to LJ Hooker head of real estate Christopher Mourd.
“LJ Hooker’s network of offices are commonly reporting that many owners are viewing the low interest rate environment as an opportunity to upgrade,’’ said Mourd.
“However, many won’t commit to listing their home until they’ve found their next home. This preference has created a shortage in supply, and heavily weighted the index in favour of sellers going to market now,” he said.

The Channel 7 House Rules resident design expert Carolyn Burns-McCrave recently shared her top 10 tips for any renovation. 
<ol>
<li>Honestly and clearly identify your needs, wants and motivation for renovating.</li>
<li>Create a master plan so that you do things in the most efficient order.</li>
<li>Hire a design professional.</li>
<li>Design it better, not bigger. It's not how much space you have but how well it functions for you and your family. </li>
<li>Design and document everything down to the last detail so that pricing by builders is accurate. It's vital that quotes are comparing apples with apples and there's minimal guess work.</li>
<li>Work a contingency into your budget and your time frame. It will take longer and it will cost more!</li>
<li>Be patient. Wait for the right builder for you to be available. A good builder is a busy builder.</li>
<li>Communicate with everyone involved in your project. It's a full time job to constantly be in the loop but it promotes a good working relationship that will stand you in good stead when challenges arise. </li>
<li>Keep the faith. Don't start cutting corners at the end of your project because you just want it to be over. Be as focused on what you want at the end as you were in the beginning, because all those finishing touches are what you will see when it's all done.</li>
<li>Enjoy the ride. It's important to embrace the journey of renovating by staying positive and enthusiastic - it is always worth it in the end.</li>

Is there a glass ceiling for women in real estate? Some will say yes, others will say no. We encourage you to have your say in the comments section and in the poll at the bottom of this post.
Just Think Real Estate’s Edwin Almeida took this question to Gai Waterhouse, legendary horse trainer and businesswoman, and <a href="/news/gai-waterhouse-springs-into-melbourne-apartment-high-society-title-tattle">purchaser of a Spring Street, Melbourne apartment</a>.
“It is perhaps only when you stand next to celebrated women, iconic celebrities, if I can put it this way, that you truly understand how tenacious and well-grounded such individuals are in their knowledge of the industry,” Almeida explains.
“The question asked of Gai Waterhouse was; is there a glass ceiling that sits above professional women, particularly in regards to the real estate industry?”
The simple answer she provided was that yes, for professional women there is a glass ceiling.
“However, women that want to make it in any industry and be the leaders breaking new grounds, need to approach this obstacle with determination to be the best and to continually chip away until you break through. Notably, Waterhouse’s insights is grounded in experience and as I said, her expert knowledge within the racing industry,” said Almeida.
He explained that observing Waterhouse quickly identified some of the skills behind her successes.
With Waterhouse engaging every guest that visited at the Sunday charity event, including the children, Almeida noted that real estate agents could learn a lot – particularly for their approach at an open home.
She gave this advice: “Know your market, know your product, know your industry,” Almeida explains.

Transcript:
ALMEIDA: Welcome, my name is Edwin from Oz Real Estate TV and I am delighted to have Gai Waterhouse with us today. Thank you.
WATERHOUSE: Lovely to be with you. I’m very excited.
ALMEIDA: Gai has made a huge contribution to our inaugural competition to raise funds for Westmead medical research foundation. Gai, your prize on the night raised just over $3,000. Thank you.
WATERHOUSE: I’m glad you’ve come out today as it’s very important, firstly to raise money for charity. It’s such a worthwhile charity that you’ve personally had so much involvement with.
ALMEIDA: Gai, there’s a perception out in the real estate world that there’s a glass ceiling for female real estate professionals. I’m sure you have a lot to say about that. Is there a glass ceiling for any female professional?
WATERHOUSE: There is a glass ceiling, and I just say you keep on chipping away and you crack it and you make sure you get to the top. You’ve got to be very focused, you’ve got to be very determined in life and you’ve got to know what you’re doing and do it well. Every Sunday at the stables I open the yard for my owners and friends and people from charities, like you Edwin, to be here and to see exactly what we do behind the shutter door here on Kensington Street in Bowral, Sydney.
ALMEIDA: So, you’ve heard it from Gai, there’s the perception that there is a glass ceiling but you’ve got to chip away at it. Gai, I’ve written a couple of articles about the real estate industry being poised for female agents to take over the industry. The platform, the springboard is there, I’ve seen you do it in the racing industry, and I’m hoping that somebody of your calibre actually takes that platform on and takes on John McGrath.
WATERHOUSE: [Laughs] Well, John is a personal friend of mine. All I know is that if you know your product, you know it well and, importantly, you have the right product to sell – you’ve got to have the credibility, you’ve got to have the determination not to allow the sale to walk out the door. That’s the most important thing.
ALMEIDA: And the question I’m sure all the viewers are waiting for me to ask – what’s your tip for the weekend?
WATERHOUSE: My tip for the weekend… well, horses you should follow is a horse called Access Knowledge, which is a horse bought in England by Bruce Slade, a very exciting horse. I also like a horse called Almaha, he races in Queensland. He’s really exciting. A filly called Bay Rock runs at Randwick, she’s delightful and the cutest horse called PJ, we call it PJ like Pyjamas, Pajero, who runs on Monday over the long weekend – a very nice horse.
ALMEIDA: Well, I’m putting my money on PJ. Gai, thank you very much for your time. Thank you once again for your charitable heart and you’re an absolutely gorgeous woman. Thank you very much.

Gai Waterhouse answers the question of the day: Is there a glass ceiling in real estate?

A vacant land block in Port Adelaide was up for sale through eBay. The 105 square metre block, <a href="https://www.realestate.com.au/property-residential+land-sa-port+adelaide-200904771" target="_blank">Lot 14 Mercantile Dock, Port Adelaide</a>, was discovered by a new Ray White agent when he was browsing on eBay.
It is now going to auction on 28 June, with a price expectation of $350,000. The eBay price asked for $360,000.
Ray White Norwood’s Murray Pope said that he approached the owners to ask if they wanted help selling the land.
“It turned out the owners were based in Queensland and they were very happy with the idea of a local agent auctioning the land,” Murray explained.
This will be Murray’s first auction, having just joined Ray White Norwood in early-2014.
It is one of the smallest blocks, but it isn’t expected to put off buyers, he said, noting that much of the land around is of a similar size.
“Good sized and functional homes are still easily constructed by building a tri-level home with a rooftop garden. We have the plans drawn up of a home that would suit this land,” he said.

He said that it will suit families and developers. The eBay listing noted council rates at $278 per quarter.
