We pay our respects to their Elders past, present and emerging. The penthouse is the final crown jewel to be released in the $300 million Remi Residences, a joint venture between Sydney businessmen Ian Malouf and Peter Wilding. “It’s so difficult to find brand new constructed apartments on the Gold Coast, you’ve either got the option of buying something that’s old and established or off-the-plan that’s three or four years away with all the risk of maybe it not being completed,” he says. Taking a different approach, the Remi Residences penthouse offers the appeal of a luxury new build without the wait time. “It’s the brand new purchasing experience, but people can actually walk in and touch and feel the space, which is what you can’t do when you’re buying stuff off-the-plan, which is your only other option at the moment [on the Gold Coast],” says Cawley. Spanning almost 1200-square-metres across the entire 28th and 29th floors, the penthouse is equipped with six bedrooms, five bathrooms, multiple living zones, a wine bar, outdoor dining and entertaining areas, as well as rooftop pool deck. However, it’s the pickleball court that is drumming up a lot of attention online and piquing buyers’ interest, who have never seen anything like it. Beach suburb Bilinga next to Gold Coast airport has crazy price rise of $355,000 Everyone loves to hate Surfers Paradise, but house prices have boomed by $1.6 million Brisbane tipped to overtake Sydney as Australia's most expensive city by 2032 “We’re pretty sure it’s the only one in Australia and quite possibly the Southern Hemisphere as well,” says Cawley. The popularity of the penthouse at 2801/122 Surf Parade, Broadbeach, is an example of buyers’ insatiable appetite for prestige sky-high properties along the Gold Coast. In the last five years, median unit price growth has more than doubled in beachside suburbs along ‘The Glitter Strip’, according to the Domain House Price Report for the December 2024 quarter. In top spot, Bilinga, south of the coast, the median unit price skyrocketed from $720,000 to $1,580,500 – a 119.5 per cent gain. Unit prices continued to boom in the south, where Tugun’s median unit price grew by 99 per cent and in Coolangatta by 92 per cent. This pattern continued in the coveted central pocket of the Gold Coast, including prized suburbs Miami, Mermaid Beach, Burleigh Heads and Broadbeach, where unit price growth surged up to 95.6 per cent. In Broadbeach, where the Remi Residences’ penthouse with the jaw-dropping pickleball court is located, unit prices have grown by 51.2 per cent in five years, according to Domain data. The median unit price soared from approximately $615,000 to $930,000. These price gains and demand for luxury apartments have resulted in the proliferation of new developments transforming the Gold Coast – but even then supply can’t keep up with demand. “Since the start of 2021, I’ve seen property prices double, I’ve seen a lot of new development,” says Cawley. “But luxury brand new stock is almost impossible to find available on the market, and the square meter rates today are almost double what they were four or five years ago.” For those seeking an exclusive sky-high address, the key is to sit tight then move quickly when a property comes to market. Cawley saw the biggest shift in inquiry for luxury apartments on the Gold Coast following the pandemic, where buyers packed and relocated to the area permanently. “Everyone decided the Gold Coast was an incredible place to live off the back of that,” he says. “Obviously there’s been a whole lot of people move here, and a whole lot of new businesses start and the economy has become a lot more robust. “So instead of this being a holiday destination, it’s actually become a city where people are moving here permanently.” While unit prices are booming in the area, Cawley believes luxury apartment prices are relatively good value compared to similar property types in Sydney. “If you want to measure us against the likes of Sydney, if you’re looking at something in Bondi, it can be in excess of $100,000 a square meter for some of the best-of-the-best [water]front apartments down there,” he says. “You’re not going to pay any more than a third of that for the best of the best here.” The information on this website is intended to be of a general nature only and doesn't consider your objectives, financial situation or needs. where we are privileged to live and operate Broadbeach has remained one of the most popular suburbs on Urban for the past four years, not just on the Gold Coast but nationally The market has experienced growth at both ends with one and two-bedroom apartments in high-density towers selling as quickly as luxury half and full-floor apartments No developer has had a greater impact on the Broadbeach apartment market than Morris Property Group.

The Broadbeach tower is earmarked for an amalgamated 2024sq m site at 14-20 Mary Avenue, opposite the Broadbeach State School and one block back from the beach. Designed by BDA Architecture, it features a sculptural facade of concave and convex curves with its lower levels shrouded in a sweeping champagne-tinted screen. “The overall design of the tower is fluid and flowing and incorporates fine grain materials with luscious landscaping to create a tower that will be an elegant addition to the Broadbeach skyline,” a design statement said. “The tower form when viewed from all angles is sculptural and simplistic, yet dynamic as it almost changes appearance based on the time of day, the depth of shadows and time of year. “Through the composition of the building’s forms, external massing and materiality, as well as the flow of its spaces, the intention is to enhance and create an identifiable tower.” According to the documents, a mix of mostly two, three and four-bedroom apartments would be spread across the 42 residential levels above its podium and basement levels. “The apartments provided are large liveable apartments that can cater for families,” the application said. As well, seven full-floor, five-bedroom “sky homes” would occupy levels 16, 27, 38 and the top four storeys, 44 to 47—breaking up the tower’s form into four sections with their recessed edges and cascading landscape. Two communal recreational floors would span a combined 2027sq m on levels 4 and 5 with facilities including a 25m cantilevered lap pool, indoor and outdoor spas, barbecue areas, a wellness centre with a gym, yoga and treatment rooms, as well as a steam room and sauna. The upper level would also feature a residents club room/library and lounge, private dining space with a separate kitchen, meeting room with work-from-home capabilities and a theatre. On the ground floor, surfboard storage and a communal shower would also be integrated into the tower's amenities. Parking for 266 resident and 12 visitor cars and 56 bicycles is planned within the podium, ground and four basement levels. Pending approval, construction is pencilled to begin on the Mary Avenue development in early 2026. The amalgamated holdings at 14-18 and 20 Mary Avenue were offloaded by Sydney-based Bassar Group and Melbourne-based Little Projects, respectively, after they shelved tower projects greenlit for the sites. Property records show the neighbouring parcels were acquired in February and March for a combined $37.6 million. The site is just two streets north of one of Sunland’s swansong projects, the 44-storey 272 Hedges Avenue tower. The Gold Coast-based development group founded in 1983 was de-listed from the ASX on October 30 last year. Abedian & Co is led by former Sunland father-and-son team Soheil and Sahba Abedian, who have merged their property assets. Construction is already under way on the family’s first post-Sunland development—a 36-storey tower comprising about 100 apartments—on a nearby 1620sq m site at 35-41 Peerless Avenue, Mermaid Beach. It is due for completion in mid-2027. Meanwhile, it is also running the rule over no less than eight other Gold Coast development sites for future highrise apartment projects.

They've kept the same design team, with BDA again on board "Avva is an edgier and more contemporary cousin to Infinity." Sarris says it's all about finding that sweet spot for both the developer and purchasers "We're targeting to provide a product that ticks boxes for location and local amenity to suit our buyers but also being as simple as possible when it comes to design and give buyers what they need and not overdo it with unnecessary additional costs we can then offer a competitive price point "We'll still be having large 166 sqm internal floorplans with three bedrooms We know that's what our type of buyer wants after delivering Infinity." When comparing to the COVID boom which Bassar benefitted from when they were marketing Infinity, Sarris says the landscape on the Gold Coast is now very different "Buyers are more savvy now," Sarris says "There was a time when buyers would pay anything to get into the Gold Coast market with the cost of living and increased interest rates so you really need to hit the sweet spot in terms of design which then informs the price you can sell the apartment for." Sarris still expects some interest from the southern states however acknowledging that demographic won't be as prevalent as it was several years ago BDA Architecture has been in charge of the architecture for the new project They said the new "modernist-inspired tower adopts an angular expression to its form." "The tower floor plan is shaped to create striking oblique spatial expression The tower form offers visually interesting angles to passers-by The movement and angles reflect the subtle angles of the coastal context." The new tower at 19 Anne Avenue will replace the 1970s MaxMar apartment block GV Property Group's Luke Reaby put the 1,032 sqm site together amalgamating eight individual owners in the original two-level walk-up Two years after apartment developer Polycell spent nearly $45 million on the 1980s timeshare Voyager Resort in Broadbeach they have unveiled their redevelopment plans Currently delivering The Rochester nearby and buying out owners in the apartment building Sandpiper Polycell is making another development move They have submitted plans to build a 59-level tower at 167 Old Burleigh Road, a prime 2,076 sqm site at the corner of Elizabeth Avenue. The site is next to the under-construction Luxe Broadbeach and in front of the twin Oracle towers The proposed development includes 130 apartments in two along with a ground-floor café and basement and podium parking for 317 vehicles BDA Architecture, who designed The Rochester for Polycell, has taken the architectural reigns for the new project, dubbed 167.OBR in the documentation submitted to the Gold Coast City Council last week BDA said the project presents an exciting opportunity to create a landmark residential tower within the vibrant, high-density Broadbeach precinct "[The] development is designed to respond to the existing built form character, landscape, climate and neighbourhood character to reinforce a strong sense of place and local identity," BDA noted "The proposed tower architecture embodies a contemporary, yet elegantly restrained, fluid vernacular. The structure is articulated with a glazed façade infused with coastal tactility, featuring fluid, soft edges that echo the gentle contours of the Gold Coast landscape." The design preserves most of the existing Norfolk pine streetscape and natural organic edges "This approach not only respects the existing landscape but also strengthens the connection between the development and its context." When referring to the podium, BDA said the architecture is a cohesion of contemporary sub-tropical vernacular infused with a coastal tactility "The fluid organic form portrays the organic nature of the Gold Coast landscape layered with a timeless material palette creating a rich and layered coastal effect." Crowning the podium will be two swimming pools: one 25 metres long and the other a smaller pool adjacent to barbecues and alfresco dining areas and Peloton room have been proposed for the podium rooftop Additional amenities will be located on levels 38 and 39 Known as the 'Club Lounge,' the first level will feature a zen lounge with a tea bar and private terrace The upper level will include a library with an art wall positioned either side of a wine storage room A maximum of three apartments per floor will be spread across the tower The proposed layout includes 79 three-bedroom apartments along with three sub-penthouses and a two-level penthouse featuring a cinema the site is home to the Voyager Resort timeshare building A large portion of the 2,000 sqm site is occupied by a tennis court and swimming pool Voyager Resort is made up of 62 one-bedroom apartments across a 16-level building Poylcell, an international company specialising in packaging primarily as well as property development and asset management, debuted in the Gold Coast off the plan apartment market in 2023 with The Rochester alongside Eric Gales and Salmonella Dub Soundsystem Blues On Broadbeach has announced more artists for their already stacked lineup this year adding superstar acts like Vika & Linda The Gold Coast’s favourite (and only) blues festival, Blues On Broadbeach is set to take over Kurrawa Park from May 15-18.

record as a solo artist and payed homage to the great classics of R&B as he covered a series of timeless hits including “When Something Is Wrong With My Baby” and “River Deep Mountain High” The album was so popular that it inspired Barnes to do a follow-up album “It’s always great to go back to my roots and sing the songs I listened to as a young performer learning to sing,” Barnes said “Soul Deep has meant a lot in my life and every time the band and I get to revisit these songs it’s a great time for us and the audience.” Experience Gold Coast Festival Director Mark Duckworth said the show

and dining area that opens to the balcony with ocean views to the east The resident amenity has been positioned on the podium level where there will be a pool Architecture firm bureau^proberts handled the designs. They said in the planning documents submitted to the Gold Coast City Council this week that George Avenue "embraces the evolving urban landscape of Broadbeach setting a benchmark in residential architecture that equally prioritizes both individual living experiences and community engagement." "The tower is shaped by its prime beachside location taking full advantage of generous northern aspects and uninterrupted north-eastern view corridors," their design statement read "Its architectural expression draws inspiration from the fluidity of coastal landscapes—echoing moving tides ensuring interior spaces connect seamlessly with the natural surroundings." The 607 sqm block at 4 George Avenue sits immediately to the east of Raptis' The Sterling Broadbeach Broadbeach has been a hive of activity recently the Abedian family's Abedian & Co submitted plans this week for their prime site on Mary Avenue They're planning a 47-level tower with 115 apartments Another high-profile Gold Coast developer will lodge plans for its next Broadbeach apartment development next week Read more: First look exclusive: Abedian family reveals Broadbeach apartment plans Makris Group, which acquired Oracle Boulevard in 2014, has joined forces with SOX Hospitality Group to transform the 600-sqm site currently occupied by Italian favourite Orzo, Mediterranean restaurant Mecca Bah and The Cuban into an innovative multi-million-dollar dining concept. Set to open in late 2025, the mini precinct within Oracle Boulevard’s north-west corner will incorporate three new venues – a wine bar, a premium steakhouse and a Japanese restaurant. “Our mission is to enrich the Gold Coast’s dining landscape with venues that have their own unique character,” said Simon Morris, the founder of SOX Hospitality Group, which owns Surfers Paradise venue White Rhino and recently acquired Mecca Bah Broadbeach. “We’re set to reveal more details soon but expect some exciting new flavours,” he said. While the innovative plans detail an exciting future for the Oracle Boulevard precinct, it means the Gold Coast will bid adieu to a trio of longstanding restaurants. The Cuban’s final service was last Friday January 31, while SOX has confirmed it will continue to operate Mecca Bah for at least another month. Orzo owners Matt and Dayna Jefferson, who also own Social Eating House on the boulevard’s southern corner, confirmed in a statement on the venue’s Instagram page that the final service will be on Saturday February 15. “While we once envisaged expansion, we now find ourselves embracing a different path – one of refinement and renewal,” the statement read. “If there’s one thing we’ve learned in business, it’s to trust our instincts, and this moment feels like the right one to step into something new.” More details on the exciting new Oracle Boulevard arrivals are set to be released in the coming weeks – stay tuned. Two and a half years ago, when I was looking at the Broadbeach market in particular, I wrote a piece looking at the Broadbeach market "Why it's all about Broadbeach in 2022," was the article headline Fast forward to the present, and it's still all about Broadbeach and interest in the market has continued from both developers and buyers Broadbeach has everything, from the famous Gold Coast beach to the amenity of the new Star Casino and the Gold Coast Convention and Exhibition Centre During 2021 and 2022, the suburb gained immense popularity among interstate investors, with inquiries from those seeking off the plan apartments from New South Wales and Victoria exceeding 40 per cent, data from MatterFact While enquiry has declined from the peaks when the southern states were in and out of lock down, Broadbeach is still consistently one of the most enquired on suburbs across the Gold Coast on Urban.com.au Now local owner-occupiers dominate the market while first home buyers are acting quickly to secure the first release of apartments knowing they're in competition for the entry level apartments with a still higher than normal interstate investor audience First home buyers now make up less than a fifth of the Broadbeach market given the huge price growth during the pandemic Data gathered from property data analytics firm showed the rolling annual growth from September 2020 jumped from 3.3 per cent to 37.2 per cent in September 2021 It remained well above 30 per cent until early 2022 when growth started to cool While declines were felt for just a few months in 2023 when nationally the country was going through a correction due to interest rate increases with the rolling annual growth now stable between 10 and 15 per cent over 2024 Barry Morris' Morris Property Group has known the draw of Broadbeach for nearly three decades. It was in the 1990s when Morris delved into Broadbeach Now they're delivering their 10th and 11th projects in the suburb with only a handful outside of the suburb over the last 25 years "Buyers love Broadbeach because it offers beachside living with metropolitan amenities which is what the market is after," Morris told Urban back in 2022 Morris has waited until they've nearly completed construction before launching Malo Broadbeach, just 16 half-floor apartments near the Gold Coast Convention and Exhibition Centre The launch of Malo comes hot on the heels of success from Crest Broadbeach nearby which comprises 182 two and three-bedroom apartments has sold well over half of its apartments and recently kicked off construction through their in-house building arm They do have another tower lined up to launch before the end of the year Similar to Malo, Maison Broadbeach at 22 Chelsea Avenue will comprise just 18 three-bed apartments across a 20-level building It was the draw Broadbeach that lured Sydney billionaire Sam Aranout's Iris Capital to the Gold Coast They spent a reported $58 million on the landmark Niecon Plaza in 2021 Not many developers can boast a $1 billion-plus development as their first in many states. Of course, Iris has a huge pedigree in both the residential development and hotel market. They're behind the $1 billion Newcastle placemaking development and own a string of hotels across the country Victoria & Albert, or V&A as it's been more commonly referred to, comprises just over 400 apartments across two towers in the heart of Broadbeach The towers will have some of the most amenity ever produced on the Gold Coast The podium will also feature a children’s area and an outdoor dining and barbecue area adorned with lush green landscape the full commercial precinct that will occupy the ground and podium levels and will home a suite of hand-selected retailers When speaking to Mosaic CEO Brook Monahan in 2022, he said there's a lot of nostalgia with Broadbeach for a lot of residents in South East Queensland "It's a very nostalgic place for a lot of people who would have come to Broadbeach and holidayed as kids," Monahan says, adding that the walkability factor puts Broadbeach ahead of other Gold Coast suburbs "You can walk to 75 coffee shops/resultants as well as being on the doorstep of Pacific Fair shopping centre and the casino which makes it one of the most appealing areas up and down the coast." The Broadbeach apartment development pipeline is possibly not as large as it was in 2022 but there are several major developments coming up around 700 metres away from the new project under construction and slated for completion next year features 120 apartments and is 95 per cent sold Affinity Broadbeach will follow a similar footprint The recreational amenities for residents will be situated on the fourth level offering a range of facilities such as a swimming pool community living area with barbecue and outdoor dining space The Abedian family, who founded Sunland, is set for its first Broadbeach development having secured two side-by-side sites on Mary Avenue, opposite the Broadbeach State School creating a development site of over 2,100 sqm Since Urban revealed the purchase back in April, Arium is yet to reveal what it's doing with the site. A few weeks later, Urban again revealed another site purchase, also in Broadbeach They secured a 516 sqm site at 11 Anne Avenue from the Brisbane-based Di Carlo Property Group who had approved plans for a 17-level tower with 15 full-floor Fresh off the success of its under-construction Amaya apartment development, Amalgamated Property Group has unveiled its latest installment in the booming Broadbeach Amalgamated, in partnership with Base Developments, has drawn back the curtain on Affinity Broadbeach, 180 apartments on the sought-after Chelsea Avenue on the same street as Nikiforides Family Park between Kurrawa Beach and Pacific Fair Shopping Centre It's the first new development in Broadbeach to hit the market fresh in 2025 The two and three-bedroom apartments across the 39-level glass tower will each feature open-plan layouts with sizes starting from 115 sqm for the two-bed apartments and 180 sqm for the three-bed apartments The living areas feature floor-to-ceiling windows with balconies extending off the main spaces to maximize coastal views and natural light A unique feature for future owners is the large space between Affinity’s eastern side and its neighbours due to the developer purchasing multiple lots and prioritising keeping this large vertical space open instead of expanding the building footprint They've reserved that space for the heated outdoor pool set in extensive landscaping creating a more private space for residents and several communal lounges and private dining areas for resident use Carly Cottam, CEO of MOTIV Group who is in charge of sale, says the Gold Coast property market continues to demonstrate remarkable resilience with discerning buyers increasingly prioritising quality the reputation of the developer and builder "Affinity stands out by offering an affordable luxury option With such strong off-market interest to date demand for premium residences remains robust Graham Potts, Principal and Founding Director Amalgamated Property Group, says Affinity Broadbeach meets a genuine need in the market “We’re thrilled to be adding another residential development to our Queensland portfolio and in particular, on the much sought-after Gold Coast," Potts said He said they have the added bonus of having their own in-house construction team which will bring buyers confidence in the project delivery Dennis Milin from Base Developments and Director of Capital Constructions Queensland said the successful 20-year partnership with Amalgamated has resulted in numerous award-winning projects "This success is driven by our collaboration with a skilled and reputable team of architects alongside our experienced in-house construction professionals," Millin says "We are excited to soon deliver another leading collection of homes in Broadbeach which will perfectly complement the Gold Coast lifestyle." Capital Constructions Queensland will commence construction in Q2 2025 Broadbeach continues to be a sought-after destination for local owner-occupiers and interstate investors, driven by its location just south of Surfers, and home to popular attractions like the Broadbeach Bowls Club The suburb's popularity surged during the pandemic with strong price growth recorded throughout 2021 and 2022 While the market saw a brief correction in 2023 maintaining steady annual increases of 10 to 15 per cent Amalgamated was also responsible for developing the first luxury homes within the prestigious Parliamentary Triangle with The Griffin project - a huge achievement in the most prominent landscape of Australia’s Capital Construction has officially commenced at No. 21 Broadbeach, the latest luxury apartment development in the popular Gold Coast suburb The 20-level joint venture of QNY Group and Glenvill Developments comprises just 16 four-bedroom apartments that start at $6.2 million while there are two 1.5-level apartments and one three-level penthouse which has its own rooftop terrace and private pool The corner site at 21 Broadbeach Boulevard, on the corner of Armrick Avenue, offers uninterrupted 270 to 360-degree corridor views capturing Surfers Paradise to Coolangatta as well as the hinterland The design is a collaboration between CARR and BDA who have focussed their designs on the coastal location they've utilised natural materials including stone Glenvill Developments CEO Len Warson says No. 21 Broadbeach will draw on Glenvill’s six decades of experience at the forefront of Australian residential design to be delivered to an unprecedented standard “This project is the first of its kind for Glenvill as it represents the first of what I envision to be many successful and enduring projects on the Gold Coast,” Warson says “No. 21 Broadbeach stands in a league of its own with an unbeatable beachfront location on what is one of the best residential sites on the Gold Coast offering an open north-easterly aspect and a prime beach frontage in a quiet locale Warson says every aspect has been crafted to be enduring and to stand the test of time with refined interiors featuring sophisticated high-quality finishes “The apartments have an understated elegance achieved by utilising design elements and quality natural materials that are timeless rather than trendy ensuring the residences are future classics,” Warson added “With a focus on lifestyle accompanied by a high level of amenity residents will have access to a full level of recreation with a glass edge heated pool overlooking the beach children’s play area and two outdoor dining areas.” the recreation area has a pool with views over the beach QNY Group Director Anthony Quinn says the 21 Broadbeach Blvd site has long been one of the best on the Gold Coast and he is thrilled to see the project come to fruition “With its prime position at the end of a no-through road along with a beachfront location with breathtaking view corridors there is no property on the Gold Coast quite like this,” Quinn says. “I have had ambitions to develop this site for as long as I can remember, so it is incredibly satisfying to officially be commencing construction activity on site in the current economic climate, and to see this development taking shape. “With construction now commencing this week, and the sales campaign anticipated to be launching in the coming months, the project will soon become a hive of activity, allowing prospective buyers the exciting opportunity to watch their building come to life. Residents are expected to see the project rising out of the ground Q1 2025, and to be moving in by Q4 2026.
