<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/broadbeach-qld-4218">Broadbeach</a> offers plenty of reasons to live vertically, but moving from a substantial family home into an apartment can expose the compromises of high-density living. Privacy, room for guests and usable living space tend to matter more when an apartment is intended as a permanent home rather than an occasional coastal base.

A typical residential floor at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/the-eveleigh-broadbeach-7-9-surf-parade-broadbeach-qld-4218">The Eveleigh</a>, on Surf Parade,&nbsp;contains just four apartments. The 94-residence development by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/hirsch-faigen">Hirsch &amp; Faigen</a> is predominantly made up of expansive three-bedroom homes, with a limited collection of half-floor penthouses above.

Across the apartment floors, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/rothelowman">Rothelowman</a> has used the relatively limited number of residences to give each home greater access to natural light and outlook. Living spaces extend towards full-height glazing, while a series of bay windows frame selected views across the Pacific Ocean, city and hinterland rather than treating the building edge as a continuous wall of glass.

&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=149670 project_image_fid=360965]

“The apartment floors deliver a collection of homes that embrace controlled outlook via a series of bay windows deliberately framing moments of view,” Rothelowman Director Kim Lowman said.

From outside, those projecting forms contribute to the tower’s faceted profile. Strong horizontal and vertical elements establish its proportions, while the changing position of the sun alters the light, shadow and reflection across the façade throughout the day.

The same attention moves inside the apartments, where the material palette combines warm timber, natural stone, metallic detailing and softer curved forms. Kitchens sit within the main living zone, with stone island benches, integrated joinery and European appliances, before the living areas extend towards the glazing and the outlook.

&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=149670 project_image_fid=360981]

Three genuine bedrooms provide room to accommodate family and guests, while two secure car spaces and storage address some of the practical considerations that can become more noticeable when moving from a larger home. Feedback from the display suite has centred on the warmth and restraint of the interiors, with buyers commenting that the residences feel like homes rather than conventional coastal apartments.

A limited collection of half-floor penthouses occupies the upper levels, increasing the scale of the living spaces and adding private balconies and elevated finishes. From this position, the outlook extends between the ocean and hinterland.

Outside the private residences, The Eveleigh separates its shared spaces between the podium and rooftop. The podium is centred on wellness, with subtropical landscaping surrounding a swimming pool and pool terrace, yoga garden, private gymnasium, sauna and hot and cold plunge facilities. Landscaped retreats and pavilions provide additional places to sit away from the main recreation areas.

&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=149670 project_image_fid=360966]

Higher in the building, a rooftop pavilion and private dining suite sit alongside resident lounge, barbecue and outdoor dining areas, opening towards panoramic views across the ocean, city and hinterland.

“Buyers are no longer just looking for an apartment, but a lifestyle where they can relax, reset, and enjoy a balanced way of living,” Hirsch &amp; Faigen Director of Sales Matt George said.

Interest to date has come from established owner-occupiers and interstate lifestyle purchasers, including buyers planning a future move to the Gold Coast. Many are coming from larger homes and want to reduce ongoing maintenance without giving up space for family and guests, privacy, two car spaces or the ability to entertain at home.

&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=149670 project_image_fid=360969]

Much of that daily life can also take place beyond the building without requiring a drive. Kurrawa Beach and Pratten Park are an easy walk from Surf Parade, while Pacific Fair, Oracle Boulevard, The Oasis, restaurants, cafés, entertainment and public transport are also within walking distance.

The Eveleigh is Hirsch &amp; Faigen's fourth Gold Coast development since entering the market in 2021, following The Hemingway at Palm Beach, The Emerson at Kirra and Yves at Mermaid Beach. Each of the preceding projects sold out before completion.

“Broadbeach had been on our radar throughout our time operating on the Gold Coast,” the developer said. “Following our projects in Palm Beach, Kirra and Mermaid Beach, Broadbeach represented the natural next step for the business.”

The Surf Parade site brought together proximity to the beach, protected coastal outlooks and walkability to dining, shopping and recreation. Hirsch &amp; Faigen also identified the street as an emerging premium residential address, with enough separation from Broadbeach's busier destinations to retain a quieter environment at home.

The Eveleigh is now under construction by Maxcon, with completion forecast for mid-2028. Three-bedroom residences are currently available from $2.87 million.

The Eveleigh brings house-like apartments to Broadbeach

A long-stalled Campbelltown development site is back in play, with new plans for 139 apartments set to supersede a mixed-use scheme approved almost a decade ago but never built.

The new proposal for 28 Cordeaux Street would deliver 116 market and 23 affordable apartments in a part 14-storey building, bringing a substantial new project into a Campbelltown market where new apartment supply remains limited.

Plans have been filed over the 3,092 sqm corner site at Moore-Oxley Street, around 600 metres from Campbelltown Railway Station and the city-centre retail core.

The site already carries a mixed-use residential approval dating to 2016. Doroch Architects has now been engaged on a larger replacement scheme, which is progressing as a State Significant Development Application following a Housing Delivery Authority determination in August 2025.

The apartment mix comprises 39 one-bedroom, 72 two-bedroom and 28 three-bedroom residences. Two-bedroom apartments make up just over half of the project, while three-bedroom homes account for 20 per cent.

<img alt="First look: New 139-apartment plans revive long-stalled Campbelltown city centre site" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="136dd5b9-3791-4da6-9e31-76f533f5b4de" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Campbelltown%20da2.png?VersionId=LgOSy9nwf5u.MGswBBwaGGxuX8QpHSl_" />

Of the 139 apartments, 23 will be delivered as affordable housing under the in-fill affordable housing provisions of the Housing SEPP. The affordable component represents 15 per cent of the residential gross floor area and will be managed by a registered Community Housing Provider.

Doroch has sought to break the scale of the building into two distinct elements, with a masonry podium of around four storeys establishing the street edge before the residential tower steps back above.

The corner position has shaped that approach. Cordeaux Street faces toward the commercial and civic centre, while Moore-Oxley Street leads into the lower-scale residential neighbourhood to the south, and the design verification report describes the site as "bridging the commercial core to the north and established residential areas to the south."

The podium will be expressed predominantly in face brick, while the upper levels shift to brushed and grooved concrete cladding with darker metal detailing. Recessed sections, deep balcony edges and landscaping break down the upper form, with an approximately 11.8-metre setback to the northern boundary addressing the adjoining St Peters Anglican School.

<img alt="First look: New 139-apartment plans revive long-stalled Campbelltown city centre site" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="c8b3d2d3-c561-4bfc-a5d9-a68c0c10dac1" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Campbelltown%20da1.png?VersionId=AeAEyJU02Gk2k5noUj2StziCvdQ7fW4B" />

Campbelltown has been starved of new residential developments in the last decade.

The only other notable development set to come to market this year is ALAND's Queen Square, a mixed-use precinct on over two hectares that will comprise apartments above a vibrant ground-level retail and hospitality dining precinct.

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

Queensland builder-developer MAYD has revealed the first look at its major North Kirra beachfront development, lodging amended plans that reduce the number of apartments and increase the proportion of larger residences.

The project is planned across a substantial 4,742 sqm amalgamated site spanning seven lots at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/2-6-pacific-parade-bilinga-qld-4225">2-6 Pacific Parade</a> and 27-33 Golden Four Drive in Bilin​ga, directly opposite Nor​th Kirra Beach.

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/mayd-group">MAYD</a> secured the site for $32.5 million in 2025, in what was one of the Gold Coast's largest property transactions of the year.

The development will be delivered across two stages, with the first stage carrying an estimated gross realisation value of around $360 million.

The latest amendments seek to reduce the overall apartment count and shift the project further toward the owner-occupier market, with larger residences designed for buyers wanting considerably more space than traditionally offered in a beachfront apartment.

The residential mix will include townhomes, oversized two-bedroom apartments, substantial three-bedroom residences and four-bedroom homes.

MAYD has appointed Cera Stribley to lead the architecture and interiors, with the Melbourne-based design practice drawing on the beachfront setting through a series of ocean-facing terraces and heavily landscaped balconies.

Strong horizontal forms and curved balconies will define the exterior, with subtropical landscaping integrated throughout the building to soften the built form and increase the connection between the residences and the beachfront.

The project will also include an extensive collection of resident wellness and lifestyle facilities, continuing the broader shift across the Gold Coast's luxury apartment market toward larger homes supported by resort-style amenity.

<img alt="MAYD" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="d1bcbb05-e659-4b47-8bd4-1e595315e2ad" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-08-27%20at%202.05.03%E2%80%AFPM.png?VersionId=jj0XEud1X1DuLt7_KyElhjMdZGOXmLHP" />

MAYD Founder Todd Mould said North Kirra was increasingly appealing to buyers attracted to the more established, lower-density character of the southern Gold Coast.

"North Kirra presents one of the most compelling luxury residential opportunities currently emerging in Australia, combining absolute beachfront with the character and authenticity that buyers are increasingly seeking, and the same sense of tight-knit community that defined Burleigh and Currumbin perhaps 10 or 15 years ago," Mould said.

"With Gold Coast Airport on its doorstep, it also offers a level of accessibility that broadens its appeal across almost every market demographic."

The project comes as the southern Gold Coast continues to attract an increasing share of high-end apartment development and buyer activity.

Kirra in particular has emerged as one of the region's more tightly held beachfront markets, with its relatively low-density character, established surf and hospitality scene and proximity to Gold Coast Airport differentiating it from the higher-density markets further north.

Mould said those characteristics had informed the approach MAYD and Cera Stribley had taken to the project.

"We've worked closely with Cera Stribley to create a vision that is deeply connected to its surroundings," he said.

"Inspired by the coastline itself, the architecture has been shaped around space, privacy and resort-style living, creating a collection of homes that reflects the next generation of luxury on the southern Gold Coast."

MOTIV Managing Director Carly Cottam, who has been appointed to market the project, said buyer attention had continued to move south along the Gold Coast.

"Purchasers who may once have defaulted to Broadbeach, Main Beach or Surfers Paradise are increasingly recognising the value of a genuine beachfront location that offers lower density, strong amenity and a more established sense of community," Cottam said.

"Kirra has a powerful combination of growing demand and genuine scarcity. Beachfront supply is inherently constrained, the area remains relatively low density, and buyers are increasingly placing a premium on locations that feel established, uncrowded and authentic rather than heavily developed."

Cottam said the proximity to Gold Coast Airport was also proving increasingly important for interstate and second-home buyers.

"Being minutes from Gold Coast Airport makes it particularly compelling for interstate buyers, frequent travellers and second-home purchasers who can access an authentic coastal lifestyle almost immediately after stepping off a flight."

The acquisition takes MAYD's active development portfolio to more than $500 million, with the North Kirra project representing one of its largest undertakings to date.

MAYD is targeting an early 2027 launch.

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

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

Queensland Sotheby's International Realty agent Dominique Vasers Williams will be championing the Sotheby's brand in the NSW Northern Rivers area, which will include Byron Bay and the Tweed.
She intends building the business from scratch.
"Clientele on the east coast will be familiar with the Sotheby's International Realty brand.
"The Northern Rivers is such a beautiful lifestyle area and has such a diversity of property."
Ms Williams anticipates Sotheby's International Realty will thrive in the lifestyle location.
"Sotheby's International Realty has always been city-centric, with the exception of Port Douglas, so it's going to be really nice to see it established in this coastal and hinterland lifestyle," said Ms Williams.
Ms Williams said her first task will be to pull together a portfolio of properties to present to a growing client database who are wanting to buy in the Northern Rivers market.
Paul Arthur, CEO of Queensland Sotheby's International Realty secured getting Ms Williams on board "as the next piece of the Sotheby’s International Realty puzzle."
"It further compliments and builds on our business plan to establish ourselves in key lifestyle locations.
"We have done that in Port Douglas, the Gold Coast and the Whitsundays and look forward to offering our services to the greater Byron area."
Dominique Vasers Williams is the daughter of Rick Vasers, who was owner-operator of Pacific Palms Real Estate on the NSW Mid North Coast in Forster.
She bought the business from him and grew it to three offices with 30 staff.
Two years ago Ms Williams sold her business and then bought the management rights to Cabaret Lake Apartments.

Sotheby's International expands into Byron Bay

Sotheby’s International have listed part of one of Hunters Hill’s largest estates, The Haven.
The waterfront building block has been listed by the out of area estate agent James McCowan.
Offers close May 15 for the 858 square metre McBride Avenue riverfront holding that was long ago subdivided off by the late regional newspaper magnate John Armati and his widow Kate.
Armati had bought the 1859-built residence that sat on 5800 square metres for $7.25 million in 1997.
The 858 square metre block was transferred into the family’s investment company Macquarie Publications following its purchase.
Armati lived at The Haven until he died in 2017 when the main home was left to Kate.
Domain reports Kate "is not overly enthusiastic with the company’s decision to sell the waterfront block."
It added that the company was majority owned by Armati’s three daughters from his first marriage – Elizabeth Poate, Sally Armati and Katie Armati.
It further advised a "local source" indicated buyers are being told more than $4 million.

Sotheby’s has appointed a new head to its operation in the Whitsundays.
<a href="https://queenslandsothebysrealty.com/team/wayne-singleton" target="_blank">Hamilton Island Realty principal Wayne Singleton</a> has been recruited.
Singleton has represented buyers and sellers of property in Hamilton Island since 2002 having transacted over 350 property sales on Hamilton Island totalling $300 million in property sales on Hamilton Island alone.
He has personally bought and sold five properties on the island.
“I’m really excited to bring Sotheby’s International Realty to the Whitsundays,” he said.
“The global network will provide un-precedented international exposure for the region’s lifestyle and real estate – putting us on the world stage.
“Couple this with our local expertise and knowledge and we are now able to provide a service to our clients like no other.”
Queensland Sotheby’s International Realty CEO Paul Arthur said the Whitsunday region had always featured in the company’s growth plans.
“Our own Carol Carter has done an amazing job servicing the high end from our Gold Coast office, but in addition we always wanted a physical presence and that takes the right person,” Arthur said.
“We believe we have that with Wayne who brings his immense experience to the region, and specifically Hamilton Island.”
Arthur said the company had achieved numerous significant sales in the past 12 months, including including <a href="https://queenslandsothebysrealty.com/1P0009/383-mandalay-road-whitsundays" target="_blank">Mandalay House</a>, <a href="https://queenslandsothebysrealty.com/19498662/4-383-mandalay-road-whitsundays" target="_blank">Aqua</a> and <a href="https://queenslandsothebysrealty.com/1P1063/119b-botanica-drive-woodwark" target="_blank">Botanica</a>.
“Our ability to attract buyers to the region is unsurpassed, pulling from our private clients across our offices in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, New Zealand, and our 970 offices across the globe,” Arthur said.
“We bring a different value proposition and capability to the region. Our expansion into the Whitsunday region complements our office in Port Douglas which has enjoyed great success since opening.”
It follows the recent opening of the company’s Port Douglas office.

Sanctuary Cove has gained a global market reach through Queensland Sotheby’s International Realty.
Long-term Sanctuary Cove residents and real estate agents, John and Marie Manning have joined Queensland Sotheby’s International Realty (pictured above) heading the new Sanctuary Cove, Hope Island office.
For over a decade, the couple have operated Manning Real Estate as Sanctuary Cove specialists.
<img src="https://www.urban.com.au/images/2018/7/6/SC%20cove%203.JPG" alt="">
Sanctuary Cove (pictured above) is a self-contained gated community situated on 474 hectares and located on Hope Island, Queensland.
Within the waterfront development, there are diverse land, apartment, villa and house offerings.
Community amenities include two 18-hole championship golf courses, a 293-berth marina with superyacht facilities, vibrant shopping and dining precincts, country club facilities, 24-hour land and water security, and the five-star InterContinental Resort Hotel.
<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/2018/7/6/SC%20cove%202.jpg" alt="">
Sanctuary Cove is exempt from Foreign Investment Review Board (FIRB) approval and all restrictions allowing non-Australian citizens to buy residential property, meaning foreign investors and buyers do not need approval and reserve the right to sell to anyone.
Sanctuary Cove recently received the Urban Development Institute of Australia (UDIA), 2018 National Award of Excellence as well as the award for the best Master Planned Development. 
“Once you move to Sanctuary Cove, you will never want to leave," Marie Manning said.
Sotheby’s International Realty also opened a Port Douglas office led by <a href="/news/sothebys-appoints-barbara-wolveridge-as-director-in-tropical-north-queensland">Barbara Wolveridge</a> earlier this year.

Queensland Sotheby’s International Realty has secured the services of auctioneer Gavin Croft, who has 17 years of real estate experience, conducting more than 7000 auctions across Australia and New Zealand as both a licensed sales agent and/or auctioneer.
Queensland Sotheby’s CEO Paul Arthur said Croft will strengthen the synergy between the company’s auctioneers and agents.
“We offer a complete package of real estate services, including delivering premium auction events for our clients,” Mr Arthur said.
Croft, a two-time New South Wales Auctioneer of the Year, said it was a privilege to assist a commanding global brand in the representation of the most unique and distinguished properties.
“We’re starting to see a rise in the sophistication of Brisbane’s auction culture and I think there’s a real demand for both auctioneers and agents to understand how to execute a high-performance auction."
Croft, now Brisbane-based, has been with BresicWhitney with whom he still conducts auctions.

Queensland Sotheby’s International Realty has recruited elite sales executives former franchise owners of Explore Property in Ashgrove, Kelly Qualtrough and Sean Wallis.
The duo are the latest top agents to join the company, following in the footsteps of Port Douglas’ Barbara Wolveridge and North Gold Coast’s Lisa Halpin.
“We are thrilled to have Kelly and Sean as part of our rapidly growing team, both of whom are committed to excellence and have values aligning superbly with the Queensland Sotheby’s International brand,” CEO Paul Arthur said.
“They are known through-out Brisbane’s North west. They are a welcome addition to our Paddington (Brisbane) team.”
In 2017, Qualtrough and Wallis were responsible for the transactions of more than 100 properties while also successfully operating a strong property management business.
“It was a difficult decision for us to close the doors on our own agency – we are dedicated to our clients and knew we had to align ourselves with people we respect and a brand that can help us make a difference” Qualtrough said.
The pair’s extensive rent roll is merging with that of Queensland Sotheby’s International Realty’s property management division, which is headed up by director Blake Farquhar.

Lisa Halpin has been appointed by Queensland Sotheby’s International Realty to head up its new North Gold Coast office.
Ms Halpin started working within the Gold Coast real estate industry just five years ago.
Her strong sales have garnered more than $130 million in recent residential property deals.
Having formerly worked with other prestigious firms, McGrath estate agents and Savills, Ms Halpin started with Queensland Sotheby’s International Realty at the Main Beach office.
The North Gold Coast office, of which she will be Director and Principal, is due to open in Spring.
“I knew the Sotheby’s brand well from England, where I’m originally from, and also in Dubai where I lived for 12 years and owned and managed my own real estate business," she said.
Queensland Sotheby’s International Realty CEO, Paul Arthur, says the office will service Mount Tamborine, Hope Island, Sanctuary Cove, Sovereign Island and south along the Broadwater to Runaway Bay, with everything from prestigious country estates to luxurious waterfront mansions and FIRB-approved residences in Sanctuary Cove and Hope Island Resort.  
Her appointment comes off the back of the opening of a new Tropical North Queensland office headed up by Barbara Wolveridge.

Queensland Sotheby's International Realty has appointed Barbara Wolveridge, considered of Queensland’s most respected real estate agents. 
Wolveridge has been appointed to the position of director of Queensland Sotheby’s International Realty – Tropical North Queensland, based out of a new Port Douglas office.
“I am honoured to be bringing the reputable luxury brand of Sotheby’s International Realty to Port Douglas and its surrounds,” Wolveridge said.
“Sotheby’s International Realty’s global reach of 930 offices, combined with my team’s comprehensive local knowledge, means we can now truly represent sellers and buyers in ways never before seen in this area. 
“It places the region on the world stage again, which is so important.” 
Since entering the real estate industry in 1984, Wolveridge has had enormous success managing the transactions of million-dollar properties. 
Queensland Sotheby’s International Realty CEO Paul Arthur said the joining of Barbara Wolveridge was very welcomed. 
“Barbara is arguably one of the highest profile agents in the region with a rich real estate history and a track record of significant sales,” Mr Arthur said. 
“We feel Barbara’s expertise, integrity and impeccable reputation is the perfect fit for Queensland Sotheby’s International Realty and the remarkable real estate experience we are renowned for delivering.”
The launch of the Port Douglas office will be Queensland Sotheby’s International Realty’s fourth office opening in 12 months, in addition to the creation of a rapidly expanding Projects and Developments division.
Queensland Sotheby’s International Realty is already an established presence in North Queensland following its association with the notable sales of Mandalay House and Tanamera. 
“Many of the property owners in the region are existing Sotheby’s International Realty clients, so it made logical sense for us to open an office in Port Douglas and support them with their varied needs,” Mr Arthur said. 
“The Tropical North Queensland office’s region will extend from Port Douglas to Mission Beach, and west to include the Atherton Tablelands so it’s quite a significant footprint.
“We’re excited by the market as a whole and we’re buoyed by the level of recent investment in the area.”

Real estate agency New Zealand Sotheby’s International Realty (NZSIR) is rolling out a nationwide expansion plan.
The new offices at Waiheke Island and Kerikeri take the total to 15 offices, including new-look offices in Matakana and Blenheim.
There is also a major expansion of its head office in Queenstown launching this month and a new Auckland flagship office in Parnell scheduled for later this year.
An office in Takapuna is due to open in November.
It all comes as the specialist agency celebrates 10 years in business, after co-owners Mark Harris and Julian Brown bought the NZ rights to the prestigious global brand and launched it from Queenstown in 2005.
Back then, Harris and Brown were the only agents for NZSIR.
The duo have facilitated some of NZ’s most high-profile property sales, such as Eagles Nest in the Bay of Islands for over $20 million, Matakauri Lodge in Queenstown and individually hold residential sales records in the Southern Lakes region.
There are now more than 100 licensed NZSIR agents and employees.
NZSIR currently has more than $500m worth of property listed and is on track to complete $750m in sales this financial year. The national average sale price is $1.5 million.
