<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/draycon">Draycon Building</a> is nearing completion of Boutique Chevron Island, a 42-apartment development on the northern end of Chevron Island at 17–19 Parneno Street, with a limited-time offer of fully furnished apartments available.

Now more than 90 per cent complete, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/buildings/boutique-chevron-island-17-19-parneno-chevron-island-qld-4217">Boutique</a> has been shaped by one of the Gold Coast’s most tightly held island addresses, where riverfront outlooks and walkable access to Surfers Paradise converge.

For Draycon Building Managing Director Howard Dabit, the appeal of the site was immediate.

“I knew it was a good site as soon as I saw it,” Dabit said.

“The position and location on the north end of <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/chevron-island-qld-4217">Chevron Island</a>, the way the river swirls around the site basically from the north to the east, it feels like the site is surrounded by the water. The height that we’ve got and the aspect looking north is beautiful. Eighty per cent of the apartments are looking north so they get that drenching sunlight coming in.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=89709 project_image_fid=360922]

That northern orientation places the development within a stretch of Chevron Island defined by open river aspects and skyline views, while remaining embedded in the suburb’s established village setting.

Chevron Island has increasingly drawn owner-occupiers seeking centrality without the intensity of high-rise beachfront living. Positioned at the geographical centre of the Gold Coast, the island offers direct access to both the beach and key cultural infrastructure while retaining a neighbourhood-scale character.

Connected by bridge to Surfers Paradise, Chevron Island offers walkable access to beaches, riverfront parklands and a revitalised foreshore boulevard animated by walkers and cyclists throughout the day. The Pacific Ocean is only minutes away, reinforcing the suburb’s dual river-and-surf identity.

At the same time, Thomas Drive forms the spine of the island’s village life, delivering cafés, wine bars, casual dining and everyday services within easy reach. Independent grocers, wellness operators and neighbourhood retailers contribute to a community atmosphere that remains distinct from the vertical scale of the beachfront.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=89709 project_image_fid=360915]

In the opposite direction, the Green Bridge links directly to HOTA – Home of the Arts – placing galleries, performance venues and parklands within walking distance. Weekly markets and major exhibitions draw visitors from across the region, while residents return to a quieter residential pocket at day’s end.

Public transport, including nearby bus routes and the G:link light rail corridor along the coastal spine, strengthens connectivity north and south. Griffith University, the Gold Coast University Hospital precinct and established private schools such as The Southport School are all within a short drive.

Ongoing investment across Surfers Paradise, HOTA and the broader Southport corridor has elevated amenity while preserving Chevron Island’s comparatively low-rise residential character. It is this balance, walkable village atmosphere paired with metropolitan-scale infrastructure, that continues to differentiate the suburb from higher-density beachfront precincts.

Boutique comprises just 42 residences, designed to maximise river and skyline outlooks within this tightly held island setting.

Boutique Chevron Island is slated for completion in April 2026, with prices starting from $1,220,000.

Sydney developer <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/deicorp">Deicorp</a> has secured planning approval for a $300 million residential development in Lindfield, marking the company’s second project on Sydney’s North Shore and its first on the Upper North Shore.

Located on Beaconsfield Parade and designed by DKO Architecture, the state significant development comprises three buildings of up to 10 storeys and will include 399 residences, including 59 affordable homes and 40 adaptable homes.

Residences will range in size from one, two and three bedrooms, with two-bedroom apartments accounting for over 60 per cent of the product make-up. Residents will have access to a broad suite of amenities, including a wellness area, indoor and outdoor recreational spaces, a pool, a gym, a community room and a golf simulator.

In line with Deicorp’s long-standing focus on creating transit-oriented communities, the project is located just 260 metres from the Lindfield Train Station, reinforcing its role in delivering well-connected housing close to established infrastructure, retail and local services.

The inclusion of affordable and adaptable housing supports greater diversity within the local market, while the mix of apartment types responds to demand from downsizers, young professionals and families seeking access to the Upper North Shore.

Deicorp Founder Fouad Deiri OAM said the approval represents an important milestone for both the company and the suburb

“This approval allows us to deliver well-designed homes in a location that is already supported by strong transport and community infrastructure," Deiri said.

"Our focus is on creating places that integrate into their surroundings and provide long-term value for residents, and the broader Lindfield community. Being within walking distance of the station ensures this project supports sustainable growth in the right locations."

Across its portfolio, Deicorp currently has 4,703 apartments under construction, playing a leading role in shaping connected, liveable communities across Sydney.

Its expanding portfolio of Metro-linked developments includes Tallawong Village, <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> in Five Dock, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/hyde-metropolitan-sydney-133-141-liverpool-street-sydney-nsw-2000">Hyde Metropolitan</a> in Sydney CBD, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/falcon-alexander-crows-nest-8-alexander-street-crows-nest-nsw-2065">Falcon &amp; Alexander</a> in Crows Nest and Showground Village, Castle Hill.

Deicorp purchased the Beaconsfield Paradise site last year. Construction is scheduled to commence in Q2 of 2026 and will be completed in 2029.

In a joint venture with The Trump Organization, Australia developer Altus Property Group has announced plans to bring a Trump International Hotel &amp; Tower to the Gold Coast, marking the first Trump-branded project in Australia.

"Trump International Hotel &amp; Tower, Gold Coast is our first official project in Australia and reflects our unwavering commitment to delivering world-class luxury experiences in iconic locations around the world," Eric Trump, Executive Vice President of The Trump Organization, said.

"This development exemplifies the Trump brand’s dedication to quality, sophistication, and unmatched service, and we are thrilled to bring this vision to the vibrant Gold Coast community."

The 91-storey building, which will become the tallest in Australia at 335 metres, will feature a&nbsp;285-room luxury hotel bearing the trademark Trump logo. It will also include 272 luxury residential apartments, a three-level podium with an exclusive Beach Club, and over 3,400 sqm of premium commercial, retail, and dining space, revitalizing the central Surfers Paradise precinct.

“Trump International Hotel &amp; Tower, Gold Coast will be a truly unique offering in the Australian market, bringing the prestige and allure of a world-class luxury brand,"&nbsp;Altus founder and chief executive David Young said.

"Altus Property Group is proud of its track record in delivering landmark developments across Australia, and our expertise ensures this project will be an outstanding success."

Trump Hotel heads for the Gold Coast to become Australia's tallest building

More than a century after the Corrimal Coke Works first opened in 1912, the industrial landmark that helped shape the suburb is being reinterpreted as a walkable residential neighbourhood, with Stage One of <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/the-works-stage-one-27-railway-street-corrimal-nsw-2518">The Works</a> now underway at 27 Railway Street.

For 102 years, the site was central to <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/corrimal-nsw-2518">Corrimal</a>’s economic and social identity before operations ceased in 2014. Rather than erasing that legacy, developer Legacy Property has embedded it into the masterplan, retaining and reinterpreting elements such as the iconic 1912 brick chimney and sections of the original C1 Coke Oven Battery, alongside the adaptive reuse of the former powerhouse building.

Stage One will introduce 181 apartments across low-rise buildings, offering predominantly two and three-bedroom residences with completion targeted for mid-2027. The scale and configuration reflect a deliberate focus on owner-occupiers, targeting those seeking a lower-maintenance home in a prime location within the northern suburbs of Wollongong.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=143415 project_image_fid=359833]

Apartments have been designed to maximise natural light and cross-ventilation, with floor-to-ceiling glazing extending living areas onto generous balconies. Engineered timber flooring, induction cooktops and 900mm ovens in larger residences support everyday functionality, while two interior palettes allow buyers to tailor finishes to their preferences. The material selection draws on a restrained coastal language, intended to connect homes to their surroundings rather than compete with them.

The Works forms part of a broader 18-hectare masterplan that will ultimately deliver around 550 dwellings, new parks, and a heritage precinct celebrating the site’s past. More than seven hectares are dedicated to open space, including Southern Park and a Village Green with community gardens and recreation areas. The creek corridor is being rehabilitated with 150,000 native plantings, restoring biodiversity to the site and softening landscape.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=143415 project_image_fid=359841]

Positioned adjacent to Corrimal Station and within walking distance of Corrimal Town Centre, the precinct places daily essentials, rail connections and local retail within easy reach. Wollongong CBD, including the hospital, university and entertainment venues, sits approximately 6.5 kilometres to the south.

For buyers more familiar with North Wollongong, Corrimal offers a different proposition: a well-established coastal suburb framed by beaches to the east and the escarpment to the west, with a strong sense of local identity shaped in part by the former Coke Works. The Works seeks to reinforce that identity by creating a connected, walkable neighbourhood between coast and escarpment, rather than a standalone apartment complex.

Sustainability underpins the development approach. The Works is targeting Wollongong’s first 5-Star Green Star-rated community, with water-sensitive urban design, recycled materials and energy-efficient buildings integrated across the masterplan. For residents, these measures provide not only environmental benefits but also reduced operational costs and future resilience.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=143415 project_image_fid=359842]

With construction commenced and display materials available to view, prospective buyers can now engage more directly with the project’s vision, reviewing floorplans, material selections and the broader masterplan in detail. For many local homeowners weighing a move, the opportunity to experience how heritage, landscape and contemporary design intersect may help bridge the gap between familiarity and the next chapter.

As Stage One progresses toward its mid-2027 completion, The Works represents a significant chapter in Corrimal’s evolution, transforming a site that once powered local industry into a walkable residential precinct designed for its next generation of residents.

When it comes to developing in Melb​ourne's Bayside region, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/lowe-living">Lowe Living</a> knows exactly what buyers want.

With a longstanding presence in the area and a string of sell-out projects, Lowe Living consistently delivers developments that are as sought-after as their predecessors.

Their latest instalment is in <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/hampton-vic-3188">Hampton</a><a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/hampton-east-vic-3188">&nbsp;East,</a> the same postcode where they have previously delivered Hampton Hill and Oceano. The developer-builder recently commenced construction on its newest project,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/marella-hampton-31-35-alicia-street-hampton-east-vic-3188">Marella</a>, a collection of 32 apartments just five minutes from the beach.

Site acquisition is paramount to success. Lowe Living rarely brings a building to market that isn’t within walking distance of essential amenities, whether it be the beach, a prominent retail strip, or a train station. Marella is no exception, located at its Alicia Street address, less than a kilometre from the retail heart of Hampton Street and Hampton Station.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=146197 project_image_fid=358495]

Equally important to Lowe Living is the architecture.

For Marella, they appointed <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/cera-stribley-architects">Cera Stribley</a>, who explains that the architectural vision was to create a contemporary reinterpretation of the Californian bungalow, a style that’s iconic to Hampton’s heritage.

"By borrowing, abstracting, and reinterpreting elements of this quintessential style, such as strong datum lines, articulated columns, exposed structures, and roof tiles, our design strikes a balance between modernity and familiarity," says Cera Stribley.

"This approach ensures that the development is not only visually appealing but also contextually sensitive, resonating with Hampton's existing architectural landscape."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=146197 project_image_fid=358499]

The building features terracotta brick, soft cream masonry, and exposed metal detailing, giving it a tactile presence that is intended to weather gently over time.

Internally, the focus on lasting quality continues, with two and three-bedroom residences anchored by sculptural stone kitchen islands, natural light, and clearly defined transitions between living, dining, and outdoor spaces.

The layouts have been carefully designed. Open-plan zones extend to private balconies, with light-filled interiors and generous kitchen proportions, supported by Miele wall ovens, induction cooktops, and integrated fridge-freezers. These are not small apartments rebranded as luxury; they have been designed at scale, with ample storage, hotel-style entry access, and secure basement parking provided as standard.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=146197 project_image_fid=358492]

At the uppermost level, Marella’s Signature Collection penthouses offer city or bay views, large entertaining terraces (some with outdoor spas), and elevated finishes, including fully wrapped stone kitchen benches and a Liebherr wine fridge.

Flexible room arrangements allow for a fourth bedroom or secondary living space, sought-after by both empty nesters who want the space when family visits and families with older children.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=146197 project_image_fid=358498]

A residents’ lounge on the ground floor reinforces the project’s small-community feel. With a fireplace, private dining area, and adjoining terrace, it’s one of several shared spaces that balance amenity with privacy and scale.

Construction has commenced, with completion expected in early 2027.

Nothing breeds confidence in the off the plan property market like firm construction timelines.

Completion dates can be the overarching factor in a prospective buyer's decision to purchase or not.

In the off the plan purchasing journey, most buyers have an idea when they want their new property to be ready, and will base the timelines of their current living situation around that.

A number of projects on the Gold Coast are at development application stage, and there are a number which are approved but are waiting for two factors; market conditions to change to become slightly more favourable based on their product mix, and build costs to come down a little further before announcing they're on the market.

We've wrapped up the top apartment projects currently aiming for a 2024 completion date.

<h2>Project: Orama 
Location:&nbsp;Chevron Island&nbsp; 
Developer: Aniko Group</h2>

[smartcode_project:default project_id=111898 project_image_fid=209175]

The site is also located on the sought-after eastern side of Chevron Island, which makes it just a short 950 metre walk over the bridge to the heart of Surfers Paradise.

102 apartments will be constructed within the tower, which Aniko is tipping to be completed by late 2024.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=111898 project_image_fid=209594]

Six residences will take up a spot across each floor, with the lower levels comprising two-bed, two-bath configurations, while the higher levels will feature three-bedroom skyhomes and two penthouses.&nbsp;

Plus Architecture has designed the tower, which will feature a sprawling rooftop recreation area overlooking Surfers Paradise.&nbsp;

The entire 21st level will house a lap pool and spa with 180 degree views across the ocean, a gym with a sauna and a yoga space, and a business lounge with private offices, booths, and a boardroom.

Top five Gold Coast apartment developments completing construction in 2024

Gold Coast developer Andrews Projects has seen huge success at it's recently launched Robina residential community, Cascade.

The family-owned Andrews Projects, led by prominent developer Danny Andrews, has secured $125 million in pre-sales at the $250 million project at 116 Lavar Drive, in the heart of Robina.

Andrews Projects Sales Manager, Sarah Andrews, said Cascade is a landmark project for the group, in both scale and opportunity.&nbsp;

“It was important for us to continue to offer the level of quality our buildings are known for, while expanding our commitment to the future of living on the Gold Coast,” Andrews said.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=135618 project_image_fid=208704]

Andrews Projects secured the 1.17-hectare site back in 2021, lodging plans to construct two boutique 15-storey towers across it earlier this year.&nbsp;

“Located just metres from ‘Greenheart’, a council initiative to invigorate 17-hectares of parkland at Stadium Drive, Cascade will undoubtedly play an important role in the future of residential development in Robina," Andrews added.

Offering a mix of two, three and four-bedroom apartments, Cascade has been designed for the owner occupier, with buyers set to experience a collection of world-class amenity as well.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=135618 project_image_fid=208703]

A 25-metre magnesium pool, gym, spa pool and sauna form part of the state-of-the-art wellness centre, while generous landscaping complements the lush communal areas which include an amphitheatre and private poolside cabanas.

Focussing on a sense of community and connectivity, the apartments in Cascade will boast signature Andrews Projects design features, including large open plan kitchens, living and dining spaces, along with full-height double glazed windows, Miele appliance, Caesarstone benchtops and fully ducted air-conditioning.&nbsp;

The development, which is due to commence in early 2023, is now selling the second tower apartments.

Queensland-based, Greyburn has started construction on their Robina Grand Residences.&nbsp;

The building company with over 35 years’ experience achieved strong sales in the early stages of planning, with the development notching over the 90 per cent sold mark, accruing $45 million in sales to date.&nbsp;

Sitting just a stone’s throw from one of the Gold Coast’s premier shopping outlets, Robina Town Centre, Robina Grand Residences will comprise 69 apartments and four townhouses across its eight levels, offering a mix of two and three-bedroom apartments, along with the four-bedder townhouses.&nbsp;

Strong sales for the project have been attributed to the project’s cornering of the middle market, offering buyers luxurious living spaces for affordable prices.

<img alt="Image of construction commencing on Robina Grand Residences" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="e76cbfea-b01b-49c1-a52e-340eb3d87006" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/2022-08-05%2007.36.02.jpg?VersionId=fxOWtEoc7FH6vpO0e8N7pFCJzlCwSarE" />

Approaching a near sell out, Greyburn’s Co-Director, Aaron Hook, said the company was well positioned to deliver Robina Grand Residences, having delivered a variety of projects in the past, with construction costs of between $2 million and $30 million.

“Given that demand on the southern Gold Coast is higher than ever, we are excited to be commencing construction to bring this collection of ultra-desirable homes to life,” he said.

“Greyburn are well placed to navigate any issues facing the industry that may arise during our construction period, after we recently stepped in to complete construction on Minnippi Quarter following the collapse of Condev,” Hook added.&nbsp;

Taking its place at 1 Waterfront Place, Robina Grand Residences are also set to feature a suite of resort-style facilities, including a swimming pool and outdoor area with dining space and seating, set amongst sculptured landscaped gardens, with views to the Gold Coast skyline, hinterlands and iconic coastline.&nbsp;&nbsp;

The development will also include a fully-equipped gym and exercise health centre, featuring a pilates and yoga room, along with separate lounge areas, and retreat and games rooms.&nbsp;

Having built up an extensive portfolio in south-east Queensland, Robina Grand Residences joins a long list of successful residential projects under Greyburns belt, including the luxury apartments ORO in Biggera Waters, and Palladium in Hope Island.&nbsp;

Completion for Robina Grand residences is scheduled for late September 2023.

&quot;This is a&nbsp;rare opportunity to secure a shovel ready development site in a prime central location of Robina targeting a large spread of buyers who desire apartment living at an affordable price point.&quot; Mercuri says.

&quot;The current owners of the site worked closely with top consultants to deliver a very efficient and desirable project suitable for this Robina location.&quot;

The future buyer is expected to go through with the development approved plans created by BDA which&nbsp;is for a seven level building with 100 apartments, rooftop and ground level amenity, and over 400 sqm of commercial space.&nbsp;

The expansive 4,719 sqm site has 75 metre frontage to Scottsdale Drive, a prime location next to Robina&#39;s central business hub.

GV Property Group have expressions of interest until July 28.

Pezet Matheson&#39;s Todd Matheson, who has been working the vendors, John and &nbsp;Fu-Mei Hutchins who are well known for their horse breeding facility Element Hill Stud in Running Creek, believes the project will fill a gap in the Gold Coast market.

&quot;We have been working alongside the current owners of this project through the design phase to assist in providing the best type of product for the current market and the perspective purchasers for it,&quot; Matheson says.

&quot;We are confident the project will fill a gap in the Gold Coast market, delivering a product at affordable price points.&quot;

Matheson says the site is in a highly desirable location, allowing an emphasis of walkability and accessibility to the highway, along with beautiful hinterland views.

The end value of the project, depending on finishes and the timing of the launch, could be north of $77.5 million, Matheson estimated.

New developer to take on Robina apartment development

Local and interstate buyers have snapped up the final stage of SPG Land&#39;s $162 million Cambridge Residences apartment development in Robina.

The $44.5 million sell-out of Brooke Residences was&nbsp;the final stage of Cambridge, which all up has over&nbsp;400 apartments.

Project marketer Colliers said the final stage, comprising 95 apartments, proved a hit with local and interstate buyers who were drawn by the value proposition of the development.

&ldquo;This final stage of Cambridge Residences demonstrated a quantum shift in the buyer profile from investors to owner-occupiers,&rdquo; said David Higgins, Director Residential for Colliers Gold Coast.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=6746 project_image_fid=56849]

&ldquo;An overwhelming majority of buyers in the final stage, 74 per cent, were owner occupiers which is a massive turnaround from the previous three stages where 80 per cent of sales went to investors.&rdquo;

Higgins said the development benefitted from a spill of buyers who have been priced out of projects in beachside locations. Apartments in the final stage sold at an average price of well under $500,000 each.

&ldquo;Not everyone can afford the beachfront, but Cambridge Residences proves that great projects in prime locations that are well priced and with great amenities are selling well,&rdquo; he said.

&ldquo;Our team received excellent local enquiry, as well as a number of value-seeking interstate buyers who flew up specifically to purchase off the plan.&rdquo;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=6746 project_image_fid=56851]

Almost a quarter of buyers in the final stage were from interstate, while four apartments were sold to international buyers. Of the 74 per cent of sales to owner occupiers, almost 50 per cent were first-home buyers.

A large number of sales were secured by downsizers who had sold larger homes to take up residence in Robina&rsquo;s urban hub, while the 26 per cent of investors who bought into the final stage were all local Gold Coast buyers.

&ldquo;Cambridge Residences was a niche market offering that combined a fringe location with a high level of residential amenity,&rdquo;&nbsp;Higgins added.

&ldquo;The quick sell-out of this final stage was an outstanding vote of confidence in Robina and for price-pointed stock targeting the missing middle.&rdquo;

Following the sell-out of Cambridge Residences, SPG Land is now gearing up for an $800 million three-tower development in Surfers Paradise that will deliver an innovative design and create one of the largest residential resort projects ever undertaken on the Gold Coast.

Brooke Residences, the final tower in the four tower residential development Cambridge Residences in the Gold Coast&#39;s Robina, have clocked up 50 per cent of sales.

Construction recently commenced&nbsp;on Brooke Residences, the last tower in the development by the China-backed SPG Land Australia, who are developing the project in partnership with&nbsp;Eastview Australia.

TVS Architects have designed the 95 apartment building, which homes a collection of one, two and three bedroom apartments, as well as a communal rooftop swimming pool.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=6746]

Investor buyers&nbsp;have benefited from strong rental returns at the already constructed apartments in Cambridge Residences, with one bedroom apartments renting for up to $425 a week and two bedders up to $520.

One bedroom apartments in Brooke Residences are priced from $370,000, two beds from $465,000 and three bedrooms from $720,000.

Colliers agent Courtney Simmons says there&#39;s been a mix of buyers across Cambridge Residences.

&ldquo;Buyers have predominantly been local first home buyers, with some downsizers hoping to stay in the Robina area,&rdquo; Simmons says. 
 
&ldquo;We have also had a lot of interest from interstate buyers looking to relocate to the Gold Coast &ndash; most likely due to the pandemic, as Queensland has remained largely unaffected.&rdquo;

Cambridge Residences have seen over 50 apartments sell in the last five months, as demand for apartments on the Gold Coast continues to surge to record highs.

Robina Group is preparing for a busy start to the year, with its Vue Terrace Homes posting $8 million of sales in just eight weeks to wrap up 2020, marking one of the biggest sales periods in the community’s history.

Located on Vue Boulevard in the heart of Robina on the Gold Coast, Vue Terrace Homes is also catching the eye of local and interstate investors, with the community boasting zero rental vacancy and a waiting list of tenants.

Robina Group recently put the finishing touches on the final stage in Vue, meaning all three bedroom plus multi-purpose room terraces in the gated community are now complete and ready to move into.

First home buyer, Sam Grima, was among the latest purchasers to secure his place at Vue and said he had found the ‘perfect location’ to call home. The 27-year-old engineer, a born and bred Gold Coaster, said rather than renting he had been living with his parents and saving for his dream home

“Vue is the perfect location and, as a structural engineer, I also love its architectural design," Mr Grima said

Robina Group development manager Darrell Irwinsaid local downsizers and upsizers had been leading the charge with recent sales, but noted there had also been strong interest from first home buyers in Robina.

“Vue is one of the few communities with completed homes on offer anywhere on the Gold Coast –and the central suburb of Robina is particularly sought-after –so that has been driving significant interest from those wanting to move straight into anew home,” he said.

Mr Irwin said across the board, purchasers were attracted to the architectural design, with all details including orientation, natural lighting, views, breezes and privacy considered.

<a href="/buildings/vue-terrace-homes-1-east-lane-robina" target="_blank"><img alt="" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/vue_terrace_homes_2.jpg"></a>

The three bedroom homes each feature generous living spaces, 2.5 bathrooms, dedicated study and media space, storage, a spacious and secure courtyard, high-speed internet connectivity and access to a resort-style pool and recreation deck.

On top of that, they offer a place in Robina, close to major public transport, hospitals, schools, universities and shops and at the doorstep of the expansive new Robina City Parklands, set to become the city’s central park.

Vue Terrace Homes are priced from $629,000.

The last piece of the Lakehouse Robina development has been placed on the market for the first time. 
The 3828 sqm development site with 68-metre water frontage is the remaining undeveloped parcel in the Lakehouse mixed use precinct, adjoining Robina Tavern and Robina Shopping Village precinct.  
It is owned by an unlisted property trust managed by Gold Coast-based Clarence Property Group. 
Zoned neighbourhood centre reflecting its central proximity, the flexible zoning allows for multiple potential uses including aged care, retirement, residential or commercial office. 
Clarence’s managing director Peter Fahey said the group was ready to complete the syndicate by selling the final piece of the Lakehouse Corporate Space project, following sellout of stage one and a positive response to the Lakehouse stage two release.  
“We are focussing on larger development projects we have in the portfolio at Casuarina Beach, Epiq Lennox Head and Yamba Quays, and it is timely for the investors in this syndicate to sell this waterfront site,” Mr Fahey said. 
Knight Frank Gold Coast’s Head of Commercial Sales James Branch and Colliers International Healthcare and Retirement’s broker Chris O’Driscoll have been appointed to handle the Expressions of Interest campaign closing 27 March.  
Mr Branch confirmed his expectation that strong demand would continue for Robina development sites, particularly with so few opportunities remaining. 
“The site fronts Robina’s tightly held prestige lakefront market and includes boardwalk access to the adjacent retail precinct,” he said. 
“A key driver for the success of this location is not only the waterfront outlook, but the multitude of amenities within one minutes’ drive ranging from Robina Shopping Village, Bond University, Robina Town Centre and Robina Train Station.” 
Colliers’ Chris O’Driscoll confirmed that with suitable zoning, a strong median house price point, an extensive population catchment and complimentary surrounding infrastructure, the Lakefront property is expected to attract interest nationally.

A long held tree nursery has hit the market in response to high demand for approved boutique commercial sites in CBD Robina.
The nursery, which sits on a 6,763 square metre parcel of land at 299 Scottsdale Drive, has been used by Robina master developer, Robina Group, to cultivate trees for the group’s residential developments for more than 20 years.
The original parcel is in the process of being subdivided into two sites, with the largest - Lot 1 - now available. 
Lot 1 measures 3,874 square metre, features 80 metres of street frontage to key arterial road Scottsdale Drive and is pre-approved for a wide range of commercial uses.
Robina Group Development Manager Darrell Irwin said the decision to subdivide and release the nursery site followed more than $17 million in sales of development-ready parcels in CBD Robina over the past year. 
The arterial road location is set to appeal to commercial developers.
It would be suitable for everything from a service station or showroom to a fast food outlet or commercial offices. 
Colliers International’s Geoff Lamb and Samuel Biggins will be handling the sale of the site under an offers to purchase campaign ending on November 22. 
The site is just a few minutes’ drive to Robina Town Centre.

Robina Group has secured the $2.9 million sale of a 2,621 sqm site purchased by M-Space QLD.
They have plans to deliver a new office and medical facility in CBD Robina.
The site, located at 18 Campus Crescent, was sold by Colliers International’s Special Projects Director Geoff Lamb to Brisbane-based developer M-Space QLD.
M-Space envisage a strata-titled commercial project offering 3,037 sqm of net lettable area over three floors with internal lift access to all floors, 106 onsite car parks and a basement.
He said the building, to be called Vicinity Robina, is due to be completed in the second quarter of 2020.
"The site was appealing because it is surrounded by Robina Public Hospital, Robina Private Hospital, and a variety of specialist medical amenities, so it's really an ideal fit," said Mr Jackson.
“Plans are for this to be a very versatile strata space and the building will have varied uses with space for showrooms and large or small offices.
“We have already had a very strong level of interest from owner-occupiers of various sizes from 65 sqm offices to 1200 sqm users who would take up an entire floor,” he added.
Robina Group’s Development Manager Darrell Irwin said CBD Robina had now established itself as a medical and health epicenter on the Gold Coast.
“This sale is yet another piece in the Robina masterplan adding to the CBD Robina health and medical precinct,” he said.
"The site is adjacent to Queensland Health’s Robina Health Precinct and Primary Health Care recently opened its flagship multi-disciplinary Primary Medical Centre, just 100 metres away.
The project will be available for lease and strata sale, and comprises five ground floor units suitable for office or medical purposes, along with a café opportunity, and a second and third floor, with suites from 65sqm to 225sqm.
The building design incorporates a high percentage of suites in the sub 100sqm size range to capture the active small to medium business enterprises in the Gold Coast market who prefer to be owner-occupiers to manage their occupancy costs.
