Designed by global architecture practice <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/woods-bagot">Woods Bagot</a>, long-term collaborators of the Coronation team, the project draws inspiration from the Sydney Blue Gum High Forest and the leafy character of the South Chatswood Heritage Conservation Area.

“This is an important project for us and our first entry into the North Shore,” said Joe Nahas, Managing Director of &nbsp;Coronation Property.&nbsp;

Aras Labutis, Head of Urban Transformation at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/coronation-property">Coronation Property</a>, said the project reflects a disciplined, collaborative approach to city shaping.&nbsp;

“Chatswood sits at an important junction between high-density commercial activity and established residential &nbsp;neighbourhoods," Labutis said.

"Our focus for Archer &amp; Albert was to manage that transition carefully, respecting what’s already there &nbsp;while contributing something new that feels deliberate and enduring."

Coronation receives green light for Archer & Albert apartments in Chatswood

Leading Sydney developer <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/deicorp">Deicorp</a>, in partnership with Metrics Credit Partners, has officially broken ground on its landmark $1.8 billion Kings Bay Village project in <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/five-dock-nsw-2046">Five Dock</a>, marking the beginning of construction on one of the most significant urban renewal precincts within the Parramatta Road Corridor.

A sod-turning ceremony was held at the project site on Parramatta Road, with NSW Premier Chris Minns and NSW Planning Minister Paul Scully joining Deicorp Chairman Fouad Deiri OAM and Metrics CEO and Managing Partner Andrew Lockhart, to mark the significant milestone.

Located at 129-154 Parramatta Road, <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> will transform more than three hectares of underutilised land into a highly connected new neighbourhood comprising 1,185 homes, including 218 affordable dwellings for essential workers, alongside new retail, commercial, and community spaces.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=146120 project_image_fid=356895]

Designed by award-winning architects <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/turner-studio">TURNER</a>, the precinct blends crafted brick architecture with a pedestrian-focused urban layout across six buildings of varying scale. The project will deliver 14,700sqm of retail and commercial space, 6,500sqm of public open space, and a new 2,290sqm landscaped park and civic plaza that will form the social heart of the community.

Kings Bay Village is positioned minutes from the future Five Dock Metro Station, supporting the NSW Government and City of Canada Bay Council’s shared ambition for a more connected, liveable and revitalised Parramatta Road Corridor. Deicorp will also contribute more than $80 million towards new and upgraded local infrastructure, including pedestrian laneways, an activated streetscape and significant public domain works.

Fouad Deiri OAM, Chairman of Deicorp, said Kings Bay Village represents a defining opportunity for Sydney’s Inner West.

&nbsp;“Today marks the beginning of a precinct that will deliver lasting benefits for the Five Dock community - new homes, new open spaces, and a vibrant mixed-use environment that brings people closer to transport, services and amenities,"&nbsp;Deiri says.

“We are proud to be delivering much-needed housing, including affordable homes for essential workers, in partnership with the NSW Government and the City of Canada Bay. Kings Bay Village is urban renewal at its best - thoughtful, connected and community-focused.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=146120 project_image_fid=356894]

Metrics CEO and Managing Partner Andrew Lockhart said the company is proud to support more housing and infrastructure in a key Sydney corridor. 
&nbsp; 
“Metrics and Deicorp share a proven track record of delivering high-impact projects that align closely with the NSW Government’s housing and infrastructure priorities. Kings Bay Village marks our most significant Sydney development to date, offering quality homes, essential infrastructure, and dynamic public spaces.” 
&nbsp; 
“This project reflects our ongoing commitment to creating value by supporting economic growth, job creation, and delivering excellent outcomes for our investors,” he said.

With Kings Bay Village now underway, Deicorp’s pipeline of apartments under construction across Sydney has increased to 5,102. Kings Bay Village is scheduled for completion in Q2 of 2029.

When Antoinette Chan and her architect husband, Peter began casually searching for an investment property, they weren’t expecting it to evolve into a life-changing family decision.

But one visit to the display suite of <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/abadeen-group">Abadeen</a>’s <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/buildings/koyo-crows-nest-1-11-rodborough-avenue-crows-nest-nsw-2065">KOYO</a> development in Crows Nest changed everything, and sparked a remarkable story of three generations choosing to live side by side in one of the suburb's most architecturally-striking new developments.

Antoinette, her mother Janet Khoo, and her sister, who is currently living in Singapore, each purchased an apartment in the same building, creating a rare and meaningful multi-generational living arrangement underpinned by modern design, community values, and premium convenience.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108800 project_image_fid=356083]

“It wasn’t planned,” says Antoinette, who purchased a three-bedroom garden apartment with her husband and teenage daughter. “Peter came across KOYO and encouraged me to visit because he had a lot of respect for Abadeen’s previous work. As soon as we saw it, we knew it wasn’t just an investment, this was a home.”

Shortly after, Antoinette suggested her mother, Janet Khoo, take a look at the same development. A long-time inner-city resident who had recently sold her property in The Rocks, Janet had experienced some health setbacks and was contemplating a move closer to her daughter.

“I walked into the display apartment, and it just felt right,” says Janet. “I didn’t look anywhere else. The space, the simplicity of the design, the light, everything gave me a sense of peace. It’s a new beginning, but it also feels like home.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108800 project_image_fid=356093]

In a stroke of serendipity, Janet selected the two-bedroom apartment next door to her daughter, completely unaware of Antoinette’s purchase. Around the same time, Antoinette’s sister, who resides in Singapore, viewed the property via a virtual tour and chose to buy the apartment directly above Janet’s.

“We were all drawn to KOYO individually, and it just happened that our homes ended up vertically stacked, ground, first, and second floor,” Antoinette laughs. “It was a coincidence, but also a sign. This is where we’re meant to be.”

Designed by celebrated architect <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/koichi-takada-architects">Koichi Takada</a>, KOYO delivered on all fronts for the Chan-Khoo family.

“Our garden apartment gives us the feel of a standalone home but with none of the maintenance,” says Antoinette. “All three bedrooms open onto a generous private garden, which is perfect for our dog Archie, and for entertaining. The open-plan layout and high ceilings make it feel airy, calm and luxurious.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108800 project_image_fid=356092]

For Janet, security and accessibility were top priorities, and KOYO offered the ideal balance.

“At my age, I didn’t want to be climbing stairs,” she explains. “The first-floor apartment opens directly to the garden, and the building is small, which gives it a more personal, village-like feel. Yet I’m just steps away from my daughter and granddaughter. That gives me so much peace of mind.”

The family also appreciated the thoughtful amenities that avoided the excesses of some larger developments.

“We didn’t want a complex with too many facilities we wouldn’t use,” explains Antoinette. “KOYO has everything we need, generous storage, secure parking, beautifully landscaped walkways, and a stunning rooftop terrace with BBQ facilities that feels serene rather than busy.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108800 project_image_fid=355428]

The location was another critical factor in the family’s decision. Though they had always lived closer to Sydney’s eastern suburbs, Antoinette says the transformation of Crows Nest was a revelation.

“When we returned from living overseas, we discovered Crows Nest had become this vibrant, walkable hub,” she says. “We love being able to stroll to cafés, restaurants, and shops on Willoughby Road. The new Metro makes the commute into the CBD effortless, and our daughter can walk to her school, it’s just next door."

Janet agree. “I was worried about giving up my inner-city lifestyle, but I’ve fallen in love with this area. It has everything I need, supermarkets, quiet streets, friendly faces, and it’s all a short walk away. I feel safe, independent, and connected.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108800 project_image_fid=356085]

While design and location were important, the family also credits their decision to Abadeen’s reputation and responsiveness. With decades of experience delivering high-quality residential projects, Abadeen’s track record helped build trust during a volatile market period.

“The waiting game was tough, especially after selling my old apartment,” says Janet. “But the Abadeen team kept me updated every step of the way. They were professional, courteous, and transparent.”

Antoinette said Peter works in property and had already heard of Abadeen. "The quality of their work really impressed us, and as the project neared completion, they went above and beyond to keep us informed and supported. That level of communication is rare.”

Only a handful of three-bedroom residences remain for sale, priced from $3.5 million.

Three generations, one address: How a family found sanctuary and connection at Abadeen's KOYO in Crows Nest

Sydney-based developer Gold Partners Australia is making its move on the Gold Coast, launching what is one of the most affordable towers to the booming Broadbeach market.

Its <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/harmony-on-broadbeach-2797-gold-coast-highway-broadbeach-qld-4218">Harmony on Broadbeach</a> project, just 400m from the beach, has prices starting from $975,000 for its two-bedroom apartments that measure nearly 90 sqm internally.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=113098 project_image_fid=355607]

There will be 113 two- and three-bedroom apartments spread out across the 33-storey tower on the 1,201 sqm site that will front First Avenue. Gold Partners Australia, which has delivered several major projects in Sydney's Norwest and has an active pipeline with projects in Hornsby and Carlingford, secured the block vacant, and want to start preliminary site works early next year through their in-house construction capability.

DBI Architects designed the tower with a four-level podium which will have an open-air swimming pool, sun deck, outdoor lounges, alfresco dining spaces, and a gym with adjoining yoga lawn. A hospitality venue will anchor the building at street level.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=113098 project_image_fid=355611]

Olympus Property Group is selling Harmony on Broadbeach on behalf of Gold Partners Australia. Olympus Director Deanna Lockett says the project is resonating with everyone from locals, investors, those moving from interstate, and second home buyers from Brisbane.

"There's been nothing new come to the market in Broadbeach at this price point for nearly a year," Lockett recalls. "It hits the sweet spot of affordability, good sized apartments, in a great location."

Construction will commence in Q2 2026, and wrap up, all going well, by the end of 2028.

Display apartments play a crucial role in helping buyers imagine how a space will look and feel once complete.

At <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/the-albertine-by-mirvac-melbourne-31-queens-lane-melbourne-vic-3004">The Albertine</a> in Melbourne, development giant Mirvac has partnered with furniture maker and retailer MCM House to create a fully furnished, full-scale prototype that showcases the proportions, finishes, and design intent of the project’s three-bedroom residences.

As an added incentive, purchasers of any two- or three-bedroom apartment can receive up to $50,000 worth of MCM House furniture, allowing them to curate their new home with the same craftsmanship, contemporary design, and aesthetic showcased in the display apartment.

<a data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="ae2e947b-2d51-4288-88fa-a35638e3be0f" href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/the-albertine-by-mirvac-melbourne-31-queens-lane-melbourne-vic-3004"><img alt="Albertine" data-entity-type="" data-entity-uuid="" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202025-11-25%20at%209.27.26%E2%80%AFAM_1.png?VersionId=T5uSwgtTFwd1m5EdQF1inB.tBDgxqbtZ" /></a>

Oversized sofas, solid timber dining tables, and relaxed, low-profile seating demonstrate how the space accommodates real furniture, helping buyers clearly visualise how their new apartment could look, complete with pieces that genuinely suit the scale and design of the home.

The styling is simple but deliberate, with materials that pick up on the apartment’s natural light and neutral tones, creating cohesion without crowding the space.

Mirvac is now welcoming buyers through the display at The Albertine. Quietly yet conveniently positioned just off St Kilda Road on Queens Road, the development has attracted strong interest from inner-Melbourne and Bayside downsizers, professional couples seeking luxurious low-maintenance living, and design-focused buyers who want proximity to the CBD.

Apartments have been designed by Mirvac's inhouse design team with owner-occupiers at the forefront.&nbsp;The living and dining areas open directly onto a balcony, reinforcing the project’s emphasis on indoor-outdoor flow, while kitchens feature integrated appliances and soft-curve cabinetry which mirror the larger architectural themes at play throughout the building.

Surfers Paradise apartments

One of the Gold Coast’s greenest towers, <a href="/new-apartments/vista-surfers-paradise-26-vista-street-surfers-paradise">26 Vista</a>, is set to become greener, with the announcement on a new partnership with&nbsp;mobility company Outbound.

Outbound will provide residents with exclusive EV car sharing services, making it one of the first residential buildings on the Gold Coast to do so.&nbsp;

Residents will get access to a fleet of EV’s, which can be reserved and accessed via a customised <a href="/new-apartments/vista-surfers-paradise-26-vista-street-surfers-paradise">26 Vista</a> resident app, encouraging residents to reduce the need for private car ownership. The lack of necessity of a private car is heightened given <a href="/new-apartments/vista-surfers-paradise-26-vista-street-surfers-paradise">26 Vista</a>’s location, ideally positioned on the Gold Coast light rail.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112730 project_image_fid=208888]

Outbound CEO Luke Rust said the partnership with developer MRCB International at <a href="/new-apartments/vista-surfers-paradise-26-vista-street-surfers-paradise">26 Vista</a> signals the first residential partnership in Queensland for the tech transport startup.

"The project is a real showcase of what’s possible when developers prioritise convenience, luxury and&nbsp;sustainability for the benefit of their residents. Electric car sharing is an accelerating trend in buildings around the world and we’re excited to be pioneering the concept in Queensland,” Rust said.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112730 project_image_fid=221706]

MRCB International has employed a number of green initiatives for <a href="/new-apartments/vista-surfers-paradise-26-vista-street-surfers-paradise">26 Vista</a>, including adopting an all-electric solution and eliminating gas via SUPA Energy, Australia’s most progressive energy solution.

Outbound’s EV charging stations will be powered by sustainable green-power sources supplied by SUPA Energy, allowing residents to charge vehicles via access to SUPA’s network of renewable electricity.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112730 project_image_fid=211248]

MRCB International CEO Ravi Krishnan said <a href="/new-apartments/vista-surfers-paradise-26-vista-street-surfers-paradise">26 Vista</a> demonstrates the company’s commitment to delivering a project that introduces change in a market that is proving to be slower to welcome eco-initiatives.

"We are proudly moving away from gas and have now unveiled a sustainable transport option for residents; two initiatives that are more commonplace interstate but rarely explored within Gold Coast developments,” Krishnan said.&nbsp;

Soaring 51-storeys high and designed by local architecture firm DBI Design, <a href="/new-apartments/vista-surfers-paradise-26-vista-street-surfers-paradise">26 Vista</a> offers a range of one, two and three-bedroom apartments with views of either the ocean, towards the river, or the hinterland.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112730 project_image_fid=211250]

Residents will have access to an abundance of amenities, including an internal ‘wellbeing’ precinct featuring a spa, gym, outdoor yoga space, pool, sauna and steam room and a residents lounge.

For residents located on or above level 33, the highest residential sky pool in the Gold Coast awaits on Level 51, presenting views that stretch out across the ocean.

The project is due to be completed in 2026.

Global developer MRCB International’s debut Queensland project, <a href="/new-apartments/vista-surfers-paradise-26-vista-street-surfers-paradise">26 Vista</a>, will have the highest residential pool on the Gold Coast when it's complete in 2026.

The amenity, on level 51 of the <a href="/new-apartments/vista-surfers-paradise-26-vista-street-surfers-paradise">Vista Street building</a> just off the beach in Surfers Paradise, will be reserved for the residents of the three and four-bedroom apartments from level 33 and up.

Dubbed the Alto Private Lounge, the rooftop will feature a&nbsp;sky pool, as well as a private dining space, kitchen, and a bar with cocktail-style seating.

Also forming part of the rooftop is ‘Stratos 168’, which is accessible to all residents. That offers an indoor and outdoor lounge, fire pits, garden beds, and an outdoor workspace.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112730 project_image_fid=211252]

Level 4 is home to ‘Club <a href="/new-apartments/vista-surfers-paradise-26-vista-street-surfers-paradise">Vista</a>’, comprising a large pool and yoga sun deck, as well as a cycle-room and gym offering world class equipment open to all residents.

MRCB International CEO Ravi Krishnan is confident that the extensive range of wellness amenities will allow residents of <a href="/new-apartments/vista-surfers-paradise-26-vista-street-surfers-paradise">26 Vista</a> to enjoy a lifestyle that mimics staying in contemporary hotels.

“The Gold Coast is one of Australia’s favourite holiday destinations, and our aim is to debut in the hotly contested Queensland market with a project that allows our residents to live like they are on a permanent vacation, through an amenity rich, convenience driven gamut of initiatives,"&nbsp;Krishnan says.

“Taking advantage of Queensland’s incredible weather, we have introduced numerous outdoor living and socialising zones that offer views, but with the type of seclusion experienced in suburban homes.

Krishnan says the sky pool "totally disconnects you from the world."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112730 project_image_fid=211249]

"It'll be very special to look out of the pool and only see the sky above you.

“<a href="/new-apartments/vista-surfers-paradise-26-vista-street-surfers-paradise">26 Vista</a> is a visionary masterpiece that aims to fuel the imagination of residents by curating distinctive identities that elevate amenity spaces to unprecedented heights, evoking the essence of renowned luxury like other amenities worldwide."

<a href="/new-apartments/vista-surfers-paradise-26-vista-street-surfers-paradise">26 Vista’s</a> amenity focus extends to its location; sitting along the Gold Coast’s much lauded tram line, which is currently in the next stage of extension.

Urban Activation Director Matthew George believes that amenity rich towers such as <a href="/new-apartments/vista-surfers-paradise-26-vista-street-surfers-paradise">26 Vista</a> also need to offer the convenience and the immediacy typically experienced with inner city living, or hotels.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112730 project_image_fid=211250]

“<a href="/new-apartments/vista-surfers-paradise-26-vista-street-surfers-paradise">26 Vista</a> introduces a list of amenities that are competitive within the metropolis that is Surfers Paradise market, and also offers initiatives that make day to day living a little less stressful.

“Convenience aspects such as being situated within multiple public transport hubs, electric car charging facilities, a full service concierge, and a wide range of wellness and exercise facilities help to elevate the lifestyle of those calling <a href="/new-apartments/vista-surfers-paradise-26-vista-street-surfers-paradise">26 Vista</a> home.

“Projects like this are shaping the Gold Coast market because through introducing a hotel-like lifestyle, they are able to dramatically elevate the quality of life of the residents,” he said.

<a href="/new-apartments/vista-surfers-paradise-26-vista-street-surfers-paradise">26 Vista</a>, designed by DBI, is set to be one of the Gold Coast's greenest towers, with a range of sustainability features future-proofing the project.

Rivea, the first tower in the Gold Coast by the Melbourne-based developer Auriton Group, has been designed by national architecture firm Rothelowman to incorporate the prime waterfront site it sits on.

The infinity pool, one of a number of resort-style amenities in the project of 102 apartments, has been positioned to almost float over the Nerang River.

The leisure and wellness facilities continue within the 30-level tower. There's a well-equipped gym and yoga studio with panoramic ocean views, as well as a sauna. There's surfboard lock-up, and a private residents' boat pontoon.

Surrounded by the beauty of the Gold Coast's Little Tallebudgera Creek, Florian stands inspired by the idyllic lifestyles of the French Riviera.

With its prime riverfront and parkside location, Florian is a sanctuary amidst the vibrant energy of the Gold Coast, perfectly situated between the expansive Cascade Gardens and the river foreshore.

Rising 17 levels, the residences at Florian offer sweeping vistas of the river, parkland, hinterland, and ocean, but the allure of Florian lies not only in its panoramic views but also in the array of amenities that envelop the development.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=7349 project_image_fid=207392]

Leisurely strolls along the riverside boardwalks and sub-tropical gardens that grace the perimeter of Florian provide a serene escape, while the nearby beach, located only a 15 minute walk away, offers an convenient opportunity for a swim.

MRCB International is set to push forward with its 26 Vista apartment tower in Surfers Paradise, after receiving funding for the $300 million project from&nbsp;Malaysian financial institution MBSB Bank.

MBSB Bank supports numerous local construction projects with a special focus on sustainable mixed-developments. 26 Vista is one of the few international projects that MBSB Bank has provided funding for.

MRCB International CEO Ravi Krishnan is confident that 26 Vista, which features a contemporary design by acclaimed architects DBI, numerous sustainability initiatives and a penthouse that is set to break price records for the suburb, will appeal to buyers, particularly those who may be apprehensive by the economic climate.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112730 project_image_fid=211248]

“The financial security MBSB Bank has provided through financing 26 Vista will allow our purchasers, and potential purchasers, the ability to feel protected from the consequences of the economic landscape surrounding our industry"&nbsp;Krishnan says.

“This is the first project we have undertaken on the Gold Coast, and we are determined to succeed and follow through with our plans to introduce one of the most sophisticated projects ever seen in Surfers Paradise."

MRCB International will be appointing a builder for the project by end 2023, following a thorough procurement process involving select national building companies.

“It is a precarious time for the construction industry and builders are needing to be savvy and highly selective when it comes to tendering for new projects," Krishnan added.

"The financing from MBSB Bank has bolstered our ability to secure a builder with the knowledge that our financial status is secure and we will be able to deliver this project."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112730 project_image_fid=211250]

Named after it's prime location at 26 Vista Street, just one street back from the sought-after Northcliffe Beach, 26 Vista will rise 51 levels and home 280 apartments starting from $600,000. There will also be six three-storey townhouses that front Northcliffe Light Rail Station.

Vista is scheduled for completion in 2026.

A position along the Surfers Paradise Esplanade is unique for a number of reasons.&nbsp;

Not only is it just steps from the beachfront, but its also within&nbsp;touching distance of multiple shopping centres, international cuisines, clubs, and convenient transport links.

The Harry Triguboff-led Meriton are set to tap into the advantages of the sought-after location with their latest development, which will be among the tallest residential buildings in the country.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=110205 project_image_fid=209660]

Iconica's prime location is directly across the road from Surfers Paradise Beach, with the Surfers Paradise North Bus Stop on its doorstep and the Surfers Paradise North Light Rail Station just 50 metres away.

The development is also conveniently located within a kilometre of the Surfers Paradise Retail precinct, just under five kilometres from The Star Casino, and around 10 kilometres from the Gold Coast Private Hospital, Griffith and Bond Universities. The Gold Coast Airport is also just 22 kilometres away.

The two Iconica towers will rise 50 and 76-storeys respectively at&nbsp;152 Esplanade, comprising 637 apartments that boast views to Burleigh Heads, Main Beach and the Broadwater, as well as the Hinterlands.&nbsp;

Benefitting from a unique three frontage position, Iconica not only has the beach nearby, but is also surrounded by parks and reserves, meaning view lines will never be built out.&nbsp;

The residences will begin on level five of the towers, with a&nbsp;mix of one, one plus MPR, two, two plus MPR, three and four-bedroom apartments are on offer in the tower, many with car spaces and separate lock-up storage areas.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=110205 project_image_fid=209656]

There'll be an onsite retail and dining precinct as well, encompassing 14 specialty shops including beachfront cafes and restaurants, as well as an entire floor of world-class resort-style amenities on level 44, including an indoor pool, spa, sauna, gym and games room.&nbsp;

There will also be a level five outdoor infinity pool, which takes in views over the Pacific Ocean.&nbsp;

The development also boasts a porte cochère arrival and double-height lobbies, high-speed smart lifts, as well as having the option to upgrade all car spaces to a Jet Charge EV car charger, future-proofing the apartments.&nbsp;

Completion of the development is due late 2026, and Iconica buyers who purchase today could benefit from huge market value increases. Buyers who purchased off the plan on Meriton's recently completed OCEAN tower recorded up to a 40 per cent market value increase during construction.

Malaysian developer MRCB’s 26 Vista apartment project in Surfers Paradide is set to be one of the Gold Coast’s greenest towers, setting a new standard for premium sustainable design.

Located on Vista St in Surfers Paradise, MRCB has taken steps to reduce the site’s carbon footprint and lower resident energy bills. This includes an all electric energy solution that eliminates gas usage and encourages residents to embrace public transport with its close proximity to the light rail.

The initiatives&nbsp;align with the Gold Coast City Council’s proposed new corporate plan that is placing greater emphasis on climate change resilience in line with new federal emission policies.

MRCB CEO Ravi Krishnan said eschewing gas demonstrates MRCB’s commitment to delivering a project that introduces change in a market that is proving to be slower to welcome eco-initiatives.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112730 project_image_fid=208888]

“We’re incredibly excited by the prospect of 26 Vista becoming one of the sustainability leaders on the Gold Coast. We are proudly moving away from gas, a move that is widely popular interstate but rarely explored with Gold Coast developments.

The building has been designed by DBI Architects who have expertly capitalised on Queensland's subtropical climate through east-facing orientation and cross-ventilation pathways throughout residences and communal spaces.

DBI Architects Managing Director Raith Anderson explained the process of introducing a soulful yet functional eco-centric design that expertly capitalises on the subtropical climate of Queensland.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112730 project_image_fid=208887]

“26 Vista is orientated toward the east to take advantage of the sunlight and ocean breezes, while cross-ventilation pathways that have been introduced throughout residences and in communal spaces allow for greater airflow.

“MRCB is determined to reduce reliance on air conditioning and imbue the project with an openness not typically realised when buildings have extreme dependency on air-conditioning."

To further reduce reliance on air conditioning, MRCB has exclusively partnered with Swiss company V-Zug for every residence - leaders in innovation in hygiene and efficient home appliances whose manufacturing operations are carbon neutral.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112730 project_image_fid=208886]

MRCB is also seeking to secure&nbsp;one of the Gold Coast’s first EV car share programs for 26 Vista, as well as future proofing it with necessary power infrastructure capacity upgrades to support its all-electric energy solution and EV charging provisions for residents.

Construction is scheduled to commence in 2023. One-bedroom apartments start from $600,000.&nbsp;

One of the Gold Coast’s greenest towers: MRCB’s 26 Vista's premium sustainable design

Full-floor apartment projects have been at a premium since COVID-19 drove both locals and interstate buyers to the Gold Coast, seeking the largest apartments on the market.

But for the last six months or so, there's been little to no projects which are catering for the demand which, local agents report, is still very high.

Enter Nineteen, the new luxury address in a unique pocket on the border of Broadbeach and Surfers Paradise.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=110953 project_image_fid=209067]

Local Gold Coast developer Amansi Projects, led by Ayrton Mansi who has&nbsp;a proven track record in successful developments and land acquisitions, has assembled a team of the industry's top consultants to deliver the ultimate coastal living experience in what is being billed as a one-of-a-kind development.

Mansi says residents will experience the best of&nbsp;both worlds at Nineteen.

"You're close enough to all the amenities of which Broadbeach and Surfers Paradise have to offer, without living in the busy city centre", Mansi says.&nbsp;

“The position and aspect of the site inspired the design direction, resulting in a very special, one-of-a-kind, project that would be very hard to replicate on any other site in the surrounding areas.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=110953 project_image_fid=209173]

The sought-after corner site had been tightly held since the 1960s, and has long been admired by developers as having all of the attributes to deliver an unrepeatable apartment development.

The project will sit on an amalgamated 809 sqm block at 17-19 First Avenue, 200 metres to the beach. It's located on the corner of First Avenue and Surf Parade, where the likes of Vue Apartments, Infinity, and The Gallery Residences have been developed in recent years.

"The site provides the convenience of being just minutes away from the luxurious Langham hotel and other great amenities," Mansi added.

Each apartment will span 280 sqm of internal floor space, with the balcony taking the total to 300 sqm. They will have three ensuited bedrooms, a multi-purpose room, and a study. There's also two parking spaces per apartment. Prices start from just under $3 million, a price which is expected to increase as construction gets closer. Completion is slated for early 2025.

The apartments feature timber flooring, stone benchtops, brushed nickel tapware, feature lighting, V-Zug appliances and&nbsp;smart home automation.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=110953 project_image_fid=209073]

The customisable 527 sqm, two-level penthouse offers four bedrooms, two multi-purpose rooms, and its own private terrace with a sunken lounge with firepit and a swimming pool.

Mansi says the project was designed to meet the needs of the downsizing market from the surrounding local suburbs and interstate buyers looking for a luxurious, owner-occupier apartment with all the facilities and amenities to match.

Nineteen will have two levels of resident’s recreation and amenity, featuring a resort style pool and spa, a gymnasium, sauna and steam room and barbeque areas. Designed for modern living, residents will also have exclusive access to work-from-home suites and a boardroom, with a community lounge and library.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=110953 project_image_fid=209075]

Andrew Erwin at NPA Projects, who are exclusively marketing the project, says the market needs a project like Nineteen.

"It's all about getting the size right in these instances, which Nineteen definitely has. To be offering 280 sqm in every apartment, and not be commanding beachfront prices which could be 30 or 40 per cent higher for the same product, is a huge advantage."

Due to the extensive work from home facilities, Erwin believes he'll be fielding enquiry from those who are still able to work remotely.

"The project talks to the gig economy," Erwin says.

"People can live, work and play in Broadbeach, and also do it within their own building. They're only ever likely to share the space with a handful of other residents at any one time. It almost becomes a private office.

Eastview Australia, which has delivered over $2 billion worth of innovative and sophisticated projects on the Gold Coast, has been appointed as the project and development manager.
