<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.

Tech billionaire Mike Cannon-Brookes is whispered to have secured a very grand Southern Highlands country estate.
The Atlassian founder is tipped to emerge as the $5.35 million buyer of <a href="https://www.realestate.com.au/sold/property-acreage+semi-rural-nsw-kangaloon-127430818" target="_blank">Rosehill Farm, the 45 hectare property in Kangaloon.</a>
Complete with Richard Rowe-designed homestead, Rosehill Farm features a designer country farmhouse, complete with interiors styled by Coco Republic. It sits in gardens by landscaped architect Michael Bligh.
The English style walled garden areas feature an orchard, veggie gardens, croquet lawns and outdoor alfresco spaces under wisteria covered pergola complete with fireplace and pizza oven.
The 2005-built Australian homestead with a wrap-around verandah, incorporated elements of New England architecture.

AFL Swans legend Tony “Plugger” Lockett and his wife Vicki have sold their Moss Vale property, Roscoe Park, after having $4.6 million hopes.
The Swans specialist coach, who calls himself a hobby farmer, advised the listing was with a tinge of sadness. 
But he advised it was time for change, somewhere down the coast. 
The AFL’s all-time greatest goalkicker moved to the Highlands in 2000 with his wife and then young daughters.
He took up cattle farming along with greyhound racing.
The couple bought the 40-hectare property for $1.2 million after he initially retired from the Swans.
Renovations and extensions plus an indoor pool complex have been undertaken at the property which now has a six-bedroom house.
Duncan Hill, of Duncan Hill Property sold it Michelle Cameron, wife of Suncorp chief executive Michael Cameron.

Radio host Kyle Sandilands has settled on a Southern Highlands home.
He's bought Twin Creeks Farm, aka Taballa, an 1890s Federation style farmhouse on 61 hectares in Robertson which he will share with partner Imogen Anthony, who grew up near the area.
The residence has been partially renovated and remodelled since it last traded for $2.31 million in 2007. It has three bedrooms, three bathrooms and a guest house with a self-contained bedsit.
An orchard has apples and citrus trees, as well as blackberries, blueberries and strawberries.
There are stone lined creek beds with mini waterfalls which result in a large pond with goldfish and platypus.
It cost Sandilands $2,982,500. Sandilands recently said on the air that he earned over $3 million a year, just from the radio.
<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/2018/1/17/twin1.jpg" alt="">
The property lends itself to farming interests, coming complete with 16 fenced paddocks which will host up to 150 head of cattle.
There's a four bay garage with machinery shed, a large hay storage facility and a cattle crush.
The listing through R J Mackey Real Estate said the property could lend itself to either a farmstay, wedding venue or bed and breakfast.
Judging by Sandilands' partner Imogen Anthony however, it looks like it will be a place for the couple to raise their future children.
<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/2018/1/17/sandilands.jpg" alt="">

The Agency has created a strategic link between the Southern Highlands and Sydney markets with the appointment of Ben Olofsen to the team.
The Southern Highlands has experienced extraordinary price growth over the last five years, mainly due to interest from Sydney buyers looking for a change in lifestyle, investment or holiday home.
National director of sales at The Agency Thomas McGlynn says it was an important step to take.
“Ben Olofsen joining The Agency creates a significant connection between our Sydney and Southern Highlands clients.
"There is enormous interest between these two markets and we can now service this demand,”
“Ben’s impressive track record in the area and his genuine care for his clients, means he is the perfect fit for The Agency and the agent we needed on board.”
The premium market in the Southern Highlands has risen by 76% over the last five years with a median house price of $1 million in the Wingecarribee Shire.
Over the last decade, the property values in the Southern Highlands have increased by 70.4% as of October this year.
Olofsen holds an impressive footprint across the Southern Highlands region and services a diverse range of properties.
For example, on the 1st of this month Ben sold three properties, a $700,000 house in Sutton Forest, a $1.15 million home in Mittagong and a $3.25 million house in Bowral.
Olofsen said he is client focused and people come first.
"Transparency, honesty and my local knowledge allow me to service the Southern Highlands community to the highest standards,” Olofsen says.
“This is not just a transaction for me, it is a commitment to achieving the best possible results for my clients.
“Having grown up in Bowral and now living locally with my family, I am truly passionate about the local community. With my four children I am heavily involved in the local sporting groups and a committee member for the BDCU Children’s Foundation.”
It is this authentic connection to the Southern Highlands that drove Ben Olofsen’s decision to move forward with The Agency.
“When I was approached by The Agency, it was clear that the brand provided me with the perfect platform to provide my clients with the highest level of professionalism and commitment, whilst accessing the databases of the highest performing agents in Sydney,” Ben Olofsen explains.
“The Agency model allows me flexibility to tailor the most effective sales strategies specific to each client’s property and their individual needs.”

The family of World Rugby chief medical officer Martin Raftery has bought a Southern Highlands retreat.
With wife Catherine and sons Simon and Matthew, they've spent $2.83 million on <a href="https://www.realestate.com.au/sold/property-house-nsw-robertson-124938394" target="_blank">Windrush</a>, a 51 hectare garden estate in Robertson.
The single storey home has five bedrooms, three bathrooms, two studies, a formal living and dining area and a wine cellar.
A wisteria covered outdoor entertaining area looks out to the landscaped gardens originally designed by James Pfeiffer and more recently updated by Catherine Lewis.
A swimming pool, tennis court and ornamental lake also sit on the parcel.
<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/2017/11/1/WIND2.jpg" alt="">
The retreat was advertised as a pastured improved former dairy country, capable of carrying up to 80 head of cattle.
Chopping and changing agency's, the home spent over two years on the market before being sold by Sydney Sotheby's agents Tony Barron and Stuart Davies, who had a guide of $3.2 million.
It was initially priced at $3.8 million in April 2015.
Raftery was a handy Cronulla junior himself. He was the team physician at St George Illawarra Dragons for 18 years.
During this time he was the team physician at the Wallabies for six years. He was made chief medical officer for the ARU in 2004.
In 2011 he took over as the CMO at World Rugby.
While on tour to New Zealand with a combined Sydney side in 1976, Raftery talked opposing Auckland forward Kurt Sorensen into joining the Sharks.

Windrush, Robertson garden estate sold

<html><body>
The Southern Highlands weekender Wattle Ridge owned by publisher Matt Handbury and Clare Strang has been sold for $8.25 million.
It was listed with $10 million hopes when first put up for sale back in September last year.
The Hill Top estate is on the eastern lip of the Southern Highlands, bounded on three sides by the Nattai National Park.
About half the estate retains its natural vegetation with trails through the bush to the escarpment.

AFL Swans legend Tony “Plugger” Lockett and his wife Vicki have listed their Southern Highlands property, Roscoe Park at $4.6 million.
The Swans specialist coach, who told the Sunday Telegraph last weekend he calls himself a hobby farmer, is listing with a tinge of sadness. 
“Yeah, it’s time for change, somewhere back down the coast I reckon.
"This place has ticked all the boxes.
"It’s been good for the family, the kids have loved growing up here,” he said. 
The AFL’s all-time greatest goalkicker moved to the Highlands in 2000 with his wife and then young daughters.
He took up cattle farming along with greyhound racing.
The couple bought the 40-hectare property for $1.2 million after he initially retired from the Swans.
Renovations and extensions plus an indoor pool complex have been undertaken at the property which now has a six-bedroom house.
Duncan Hill, of Duncan Hill Property, has a $4.6 million asking price.
The downsizers are likely to remain in the Southern Highlands, where two of their daughters are at school.
