Construction is now underway at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-townhouses/cumulus-grand-villas-carrara-17-baltimore-court-carrara-qld-4211">Cumulus Grand Villas</a> in Carrara, with all stages fully funded as <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/venturecrowd-property-projects">VentureCrowd</a> progresses its 59-residence gated community on an elevated ridgeline overlooking 100 hectares of natural savanna.

The commencement marks a key milestone for the Gold Coast project, designed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/bda-architecture">BDA Architecture</a> and being delivered by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/builders/devcon">Devcon Property Group</a>, at a time when buyers are placing greater emphasis on delivery certainty and builder track record.

With Devcon active in South East Queensland since 1993 and having delivered more than 1,000 homes, the team is positioning Cumulus as a fully financed, under-construction offering in a market where risk mitigation has become a central consideration for off-the-plan purchasers.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=135663 project_image_fid=360496]

Located at 17 Baltimore Court, Cumulus Grand Villas comprises 59 three- and four-bedroom villas across four collections, Skyline, Canopy, Savanna and Broadview. Pricing starts from $1,455,000, with completion of the first stage targeted for Q4 2026.

Across the four collections, each design represents an expansive and thoughtfully considered offering. The Broadview provides additional flexibility within its floorplan, incorporating a multipurpose room or optional additional bedroom, and is priced from $1,895,000.&nbsp;

Configured across two levels, the four-bedroom villas feature two master bedrooms with private ensuites, as well as a multipurpose room (MPR), supporting intergenerational living, guest accommodation, or the creation of a dedicated retreat space.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=135663 project_image_fid=360497]

The main living areas are positioned on the ground floor, while the bedrooms are located upstairs, a configuration that promotes both family separation and connected living. All villas include a second master suite on the ground floor, reinforcing the project’s focus on flexibility and long-term adaptability.

That adaptability was central to BDA Architecture’s design approach. The team sought to create a sophisticated, low-maintenance product that makes the most of the site’s elevation and outlook while responding to evolving household needs. Expansive glazing, open-plan interiors and private outdoor areas draw in natural light and frame views towards the savanna, hinterland and Broadbeach skyline.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=135663 project_image_fid=360470]

VentureCrowd Director of Property David Whitting said the project responds to a growing group of buyers reassessing what premium living on the Gold Coast looks like.

Flexible floorplans have proven particularly relevant for purchasers aged between 40 and 65, including next home buyers, downsizers and investors. The inclusion of dual master suites in the Broadview design, along with options for a downstairs MPR or guest bedroom, allows homes to adapt as family dynamics shift, whether accommodating older parents, adult children, or extended stays.

Across the community, villas are specified with European appliances and premium fixtures and fittings, alongside double garages and landscaped private areas. The gated enclave includes number plate recognition entry, reinforcing a focus on security and exclusivity.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=135663 project_image_fid=360474]

Lifestyle amenity is anchored by the Infinity Terrace, an elevated communal space incorporating a 20m heated pool, alfresco zones and barbecue facilities, designed as a shared retreat within the neighbourhood. A two-acre private nature reserve with walking trails and rehabilitated bushland further integrates the development with its savanna-edge setting, reflecting a broader masterplan initiative to restore native vegetation and habitat corridors.

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/carrara-qld-4211">Carrara</a>’s positioning continues to attract attention from prestige buyers seeking proximity to the coast without beachfront pricing. The suburb offers access to major retail centres including Pacific Fair and Robina Town Centre, is around 15 minutes from Broadbeach, and benefits from connectivity via the M1 to Brisbane and the Gold Coast Airport.

VentureCrowd’s Cumulus Grand Villas in Carrara advances with construction underway

Joint venture partners <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/abadeen">Abadeen</a> and <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/perifa">PERIFA</a> are officially launching the third and final residential stage at their landmark $350 million harbourfront precinct, Putney Wharf, with The Residences representing the final opportunity to secure a new home within this rare waterfront destination.

Strong demand has already been established across the earlier stages of <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/putney-wharf-residences-20-waterview-street-putney-nsw-2112">Putney Wharf</a>, with more than 50 per cent sold ahead of this final release. The Residences will introduce a selection of the precinct’s most premium apartments, many of which were deliberately reserved for this concluding stage.

Located at 20 Waterview Street, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/putney-nsw-2112">Putney</a> NSW, the completed precinct will comprise 67 residences, including 18 terraces and 49 apartments, alongside five retail tenancies and a 36-berth marina.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=13962 project_image_fid=1338]

Developed alongside partners Phoenix Property Investors and Mitsubishi Estate Asia, Putney Wharf occupies a prized 300-metre stretch of absolute waterfront and incorporates the historic former Halvorsen’s Boatshed. The precinct connects directly to surrounding parklands via a landscaped foreshore walkway and a large, landscaped podium linking both sides of the development to the adjoining foreshore parklands.

The Residences comprise two newly built, three-storey apartment buildings delivering a boutique collection of 30 generously proportioned waterfront apartments. Designed to capture harbour outlooks, natural light and cooling breezes, The Residences balance architectural refinement with relaxed, low-maintenance living.

Architecturally designed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/sjb-architects">SJB</a>, the apartments continue the cohesive design language seen across the broader precinct. A refined palette of light and dark materials, softer-toned stone and neutral, earthy finishes reflect the surrounding landscape and harbour setting. Interiors feature painted timber veneers, tactile joinery, timber flooring to living spaces and 100 per cent natural wool carpets in bedrooms, creating warm and sophisticated homes.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=13962 project_image_fid=362525]

Justin Brown, Executive Chairman and Founder of Abadeen, said the release of the final residential stage marks an important milestone for the project.

“Putney Wharf brings together everything we’ve learned over more than 25 years of development,” Mr Brown said. “It respects the site’s extraordinary maritime history while delivering contemporary homes that connect people directly to the harbour.

The Residences offer the rare combination of low-maintenance apartment living, waterfront outlooks with beautiful sunset views, and the convenience of retail and amenity at your doorstep. For boating enthusiasts, the opportunity to secure a private marina berth completes a truly unique Sydney harbourfront lifestyle.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=13962 project_image_fid=291197]

PERIFA Managing Director and Co-Founder Fabrizio Perilli added that the diversity of housing across the precinct has been central to the project’s success.

“Whether it’s the heritage Halvorsen’s apartments, the Waterview Terraces or now The Residences, Putney Wharf offers a range of homes that respond to different lifestyles, all united by an unrivalled harbourfront setting,” Perilli said. “This is a precinct that will add lasting value to the Putney community.”

Managing project marketing and sales, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/project-marketer/srm-residential">SRM Residential</a> Partner Tim Rees said the final release has already attracted strong demand reflecting the project’s unique harbourfront position and the success of earlier stages.

“Following the strong response to both the Halvorsen’s Boatshed residences and the Waterview Terraces, The Residences represent the final chance to secure a new home within this tightly held waterfront precinct,” Rees said. “Buyers are drawn to the rare combination of absolute harbour frontage, parkside living and genuine architectural quality.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=13962 project_image_fid=362240]

Putney Wharf is a one-of-a-kind mixed-use destination, delivering an exclusive residential offering alongside waterfront dining, retail and a 36-berth marina designed to the latest Australian Standards, accommodating vessels up to 18 metres and helping address Sydney Harbour’s ongoing marina shortage.

The precinct will include five retail tenancies and a prominent waterfront jetty area fronting the retail village, creating an activated harbourfront destination for residents and visitors alike.

Residents will enjoy direct access to lush harbourfront parklands, a public foreshore walkway and landscaped podium gardens connecting the development to the surrounding waterfront reserve. Construction across the Putney Wharf precinct is expected to be completed by Q2 2027.

Sales of The Residences officially launch this weekend, with the display suite open Saturday and Sunday from 10am to 12pm at Putney Wharf. Visitors are invited to enjoy a complimentary coffee while touring The Residences and experiencing the Putney Wharf lifestyle firsthand.

Final Harbourfront release in Putney Wharf launches this weekend

<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.

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.

All Blacks coach Steve Hansen, and his wife Tash, have listed their five-bedroom property in Canterbury, outside of Christchurch. 
The property, at 42 Hamptons Road, won the 2016 New Zealand Master Builder of the Year Gold Award for excellence in workmanship, creativity and innovation for a new home over $2 million.
It has five bedrooms, a media room with sound system, bar area, built-in fridge and dishwasher.
Solar panels operate the individually zoned underfloor heating, while upstairs is a ducted heat-pump ensuring the stunning master suite remains ambient.
There are multiple outdoor living zones, including a pool and spa area, and an alfresco lounge with a kitchen that can be closed off when needed.
There is also a large five-bay shed with one fully enclosed bay for a gym or hobby room.
“We’ve loved everything about our beautiful home over the last four years, however, we’re now preparing for the next phase of our lives after rugby. It’s as simple as that,” the two-time world cup winning coach said.
In 2018, Hansen announced his intention to stand down from the top job after this year’s world cup in Japan.
The property is set for auction November 1.

Rugby Union boss lists Brisbane home

<html><body>
Rugby union brothers Anthony and Saia Fainga'a have offloaded a Brisbane land parcel.
The near 700 square metre Windsor block on Wilston Hill with views to the city fetched $1.58 million.
The brothers bought the property for $1,031,000 and <a href="https://www.realestate.com.au/sold/property-house-qld-windsor-111865231" target="_blank">demolished the old two bedroom home</a> (above) to create the level block.
Ray White New Farm agent Meaghan Bakker sold the land which came with architect designed plans for two three level homes. It was sold to a local builder.
It's the second piece of Brisbane real estate the brothers have sold in the last year.
The pair built then sold a five bedroom Seven Hills home for $1.17 million mid-last year, having paid $432,500 for the 415 square metre block in 2014.
Saia, who is playing for UK-based club London Irish, says he want to focus on property full-time when his career ends.
Anthony is turning out for Brumbies in Canberra where the brothers are investing in the development of 19 townhouses.

Having bought a land parcel to build their forever home nearby, Brisbane Bronco Matt Gillett and wife Skye have listed their former home in Albany Creek.
The modern family home, some 17 kilometres north of the Suncorp Stadium, has five bedrooms and two bathrooms on its 915 square metre block.
The couple bought it for $670,000 in 2014, the same price it traded for in 2011.
They're asking for $719,000 through Re/Max Northern Realty agent Karyn Neil.   
They are not moving any closer to Gillett's stomping ground, in fact they're moving further away.
Their 6,000 square metre land parcel that cost them $800,000 sits in the next suburb north in Warner.
Gillett, the hard hitting forward who was described by Broncos legend Gordon Tallis as 'the best forward in the world', turned down lucrative offers last year to stay at Red Hill for the rest of his career.
He made his debut for the Broncos in 2010, scoring a try in a narrow win over the Sydney Roosters. 
He played a key part in the Kangaroo's World Cup triumph late last year.

Cronulla Sharks star James Maloney is selling his former home near Lake Macquarie, as speculation persists on an end of season switch to the Penrith Panthers.
Maloney lived in the home at Pelican for a few years after paying $295,000 in 2007 before he became a professional NRL footballer.
The stand-out five-eighth bought the home when he was 21 and playing for Parramatta Eels reserve grade.
Maloney failed to break into the first team, prompting his move to Melbourne where he kicked off at the Melbourne Storm.
Then, there was his two year stint in New Zealand with the Warriors.
It has been a consistent rental through the year, first renting at $330 a week, and since increasing to $350 a week.
The two bedroom home, set two streets back from the crystal clear Swansea Channel waters, comes with a covered rear deck that looks over the level back yard with a self-contained cabin.
Andrew McGrath at First National Real Estate Blacksmiths is seeking offers between $490,000 and $538,000.
Maloney won the 2016 Premiership in his first season at the Sharks and also owns another house nearby which cost $440,000.
Maloney's Instagram suggests he will be busy in the off-season.
He's taken on a treehouse project at his coastal eastern suburbs abode that he shares with his three children and wife Jessica.
Fellow Cronulla Shark Chris Heighington is also selling an investment property.
Heighington is now considering an offer on his Upper North Shore investment property.
The Waitara apartment cost the Shark veteran $300,000 in 2005 when it was new.
Set in the North Tower of the Eden Apartments, the 76 square metre courtyard apartment has one bedroom and was offered leased at $410 a week.
It had a $504,000 listing price.
Heighington is yet to decide on his NRL future having spent the last four years with The Sharks.
The 34 year old won his first Premiership with the Wests Tigers in 2005.

The fearless NSW Origin debutant Nathan Peats is selling his Sydney investment pad. 
The Gold Coast Titan has decided to list redundant Rosebery investment unit.
Amassing 53 tackles in a memorable performance, Peats, who covered 8.1 kilometres in the mid-week game, the most ground ever recorded in Origin, paid $595,000 in 2012 for the two bedroom, two bathroom apartment.
It was during his two year stint with South Sydney where he started his career.
The apartment near Green Square has been listed by new NG Farah real estate recruit agent Beau Champion, who is a former Rabbitohs team mate.
The pair both played at the Bunnies together for a brief period before Peats moved to the Eels.
Peats initially put the apartment as a $670 a week rental once he signed with the Titans in 2014.
Its 2015 tenancy was sought at around $650 a week for the apartment with an open plan living area that opens to a large tiled private courtyard.
Peats left the Eels for the Gold Coast in 2014 following the much publicised salary cap breach.
His property portfolio's most recent addition was when he paid $518,000 for a three bedroom timber home in Lota (pictured below) outside of Brisbane last year.
<img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/c_scale,w_580,q_auto:good/https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/po.images/2017/04/01/lot-two.jpg" alt="">
It was advertised as having potential for developers due to its 800 square metre parcel.
Peats retains a three bedroom Central Coast home in Wyoming (pictured below) that cost $420,000 in 2015.
<img src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/c_scale,w_580,q_auto:good/https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/po.images/2017/04/01/lot-three.jpg" alt="">
Last month the Daily Telegraph reported that Parramatta chief executive Bernie Gurr said he will consider luring Peats back to the club.
His former teammates Beau Champion recently joined the N G Farah sales team having played over 100 first-grade games for South Sydney Rabbitohs.
Even as an accomplished professional footballer, Beau was always passionate about property especially around the south eastern suburbs of Sydney which Beau considered his backyard.

West Tigers coach Ivan Cleary can have a smile on his face away from the field as he sold his former Collaroy home in just 15 days.
There's not been much to smile about on the field for Cleary, who has won only two of his first six games in charge of the Tigers, including a 36-0 drubbing by the Broncos recently.
Star players Mitchell Moses, Aaron Woods and James Tedesco have signed elsewhere and the club sit second bottom of the latter and four points off eight placed Canberra.
The former Sea Eagle will be pleased however with the quick sale of his first property purchase, although he's not heading in to Tigers heartland.
Cleary has said he will be staying by the beaches after selling the home with a price guide of $2.2 million through Paul Franks at Ray White Mona Vale.
Cleary paid $332,500 for the home in 1995 during the season he spent as a fullback at the North Sydney Bears.
It was the same year he married wife Rebecca, the sister of former Bears forward forward Josh Stuart.
The couple lived in the home when Cleary left the Bears to play for the Roosters for the next three seasons.
The Hay Street home on nearly 700 square metres has three bedrooms, a timber kitchen and a backyard with detached studio and undercover entertaining deck.
They rented out the home while they were in New Zealand during Cleary's stint with the Warriors and moved to a larger home when they came back.
Cleary spent two separate stint with the Warriors. He spent two years as a player from 2000 and then five years as the head coach from 
He led the team to finals footy in four of his six seasons in charge.
It was tougher task when he took over the out of form Penrith Panthers in 2012.
The Panthers only made the finals once in his three years in charge before he was sacked in October 2015.
In April, Cleary took over from Jason Taylor at the helm of the West Tigers.
Ivan and Rebecca have four children including NRL rookie Nathan who plays for the Panthers.

Having moved to Sydney's eastern suburbs, Sydney Rooster Mitchell Pearce has now listed both of his Cremorne apartments.
Having listed his three bedroom apartment for $1,200 a week, he's now put another two bedroom apartment up for $685 a week.
Located on the top floor, the art deco apartment looks like its been touched up slightly by Pearce since his $681,000 purchase in 2011.

The former NRL star Ben Barba has sought tenants for his Caringbah South home after moving to France.
Barba, who was pivotal in the Cronulla Sharks Premiership winning team last season, now plays for rugby union side Toulon after signing a lucrative two and a half year deal.
The recently vacated two bedroom home with upstairs loft cost Barba $1.18 million in 2014 following his move from Brisbane.
It was first listed in early April at $1,100 per week through Century 21 Cronulla agent Ashlee Dorant, who has now amended the asking rent to $1000 a week. 
The listing photos were taken in the dreary weather we've had over the last few weeks.
The images show a completely bare home, with the outdoor entertaining area looking out onto a rain soaked decking.
His four bedroom Everton Park home just outside of Brisbane continues to be a rental after he left Queensland for the Shire.
It cost him $769,000 in 2013.
Barba has made his French rugby union debut for Toulon last month, coming on late in the Top 14 club's loss to Brive.
The former Cronulla NRL full-back, who left Australia amid uncertainty over his NRL future after a second positive illicit drugs test, made two tackles in the match.
Barba has four daughters with his girlfriend Ainslie Currie.
