<a href="/developments/runaway-bay-qld-4216" target="" class="wordlink">Runaway Bay</a>, an exclusive waterfront suburb on the coveted <a href="/developments/gold-coast-qld" target="" class="wordlink">Gold Coast</a>’s North Shore
has seen very little new apartment development for several years
While units only account for less than 30 per cent of total dwellings in <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developments/runaway-bay-qld-4216">Runaway Bay</a>
property data analytics firm CoreLogic shows there are only around 300 three and four-bedroom apartments making these exceptionally sought after
The lack of supply of new homes and, in particular, of three and four-bedroom apartments in the desirable suburb, paves the way for <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/aqualis-runaway-bay-20-24-oatland-esplanade-runaway-bay">Aqualis</a> – a luxurious development of only 18 three and four-bedroom residences on the dress circle Oatland Esplanade, fronting Pacific Park and offering never-to-be-built-out views over the Broadwater to South Stradbroke Island and The Spit.
The boutique four-level building has been designed for both holidaymakers and downsizers, featuring some of the largest apartments ever offered in the area.
Designed to embrace its waterfront location by XL Architecture, Aqualis apartments have been oriented to take in as much of the stunning and expansive views as possible.
Each residence features an open-plan layout with full-height stacking glass doors that lead to covered terraces overlooking parklands, beaches, and the Broadwater.
The open kitchens are equipped with integrated Miele appliances, a kitchen island that can be customised in two different countertop materials, and walk-in butler’s pantries.
The master bedrooms all enjoy balcony access to take in the views of the water, as well as large ensuites and walk-in robes.
Residents will enjoy facilities including a waterfront swimming pool, a fully-equipped gym with a sauna, and a barbecue terrace set within landscaped grounds designed by award-winning firm Shepherd. The development also uniquely features a resident-only 12-berth marina with four additional jet-ski docks.
A builder has been appointed to deliver Aqualis, a milestone step in the development process that gives buyers confidence.

Hickory is implementing several technical construction methods including various piling techniques and precast concrete solutions that enable a parallel-track construction program.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe building’s facade designed by architect Warren and Mahoney uses a three-stage design incorporating double-glazed glass
and textured precast concrete with Reckli and brick finishes.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe structural design transitions from a solid podium base to lighter upper levels
“reflecting a maritime theme” aligned with the Collins Wharf design objectives.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAncora will connect to the neighbouring Regatta development via a podium

was greeted with no small amount of scepticism.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Coalition also campaigned on its previously revealed plan to allow first home buyers to draw down on their superannuation
giving access to up to $50,000 to help fund mortgage deposits.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhile that proposal had won some support
it got the thumbs down from many of Australia’s top economists

among other issues.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSimilarly
its plan to allow mortgage interest for first home buyers to be tax-deductible was roundly criticised for its likely inflationary and regressive effects.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt has also been pointed out
that the Coalition’s rejection of the Green’s policies around housing supply
affordable housing and help for renters did it no favours.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe ALP
went to the polls spruiking an extension of schemes introduced during its previous term

this 396sq m sub-penthouse in Runaway Bay doesn’t just promise a view – it delivers a panorama from the Hinterland to the Pacific
with a marina berth thrown in for good measure
Ray White Shore Group agent James Drake said the sprawling sky home was on the right side of a recent $700,000 renovation with house-sized proportions that downsizers dream of
The apartment underwent a recent $700,000 renovation
so we don’t often see these types of apartments coming into the market and they are quite sought after with downsizers who want to stay in the suburb,” Mr Drake said
“We are having interest from central and southern Gold Coast buyers who want to get away from the construction and busyness,” he said
“The fact that it comes with a marina berth is also a big selling point for those who are coming off waterfront property and want to bring their boat.”

Following another strong year for the <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developments/gold-coast-qld">Gold Coast</a> unit market
values look like they are going to continue to rise in 2025
CoreLogic&#x27;s Monthly Home Value Index reveals that units—comprising both apartments and townhouses—rose by 0.5 per cent in January, building on a <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/news/qld/city-beat-december-2024-gold-coast-unit-values-grow-over-nine-per-cent-in-2024-but-ends-with-cooling-market">nine per cent growth in 2024</a>
The median unit value on the <a href="/developments/gold-coast-qld" target="" class="wordlink">Gold Coast</a> has now reached $829,000. If compared to capital city unit markets, it would only sit behind <a href="/developments/sydney-nsw" target="" class="wordlink">Sydney</a>&#x27;s median ($857,000)
It was a strong start to the year in the <a href="/developments/gold-coast-qld" target="" class="wordlink">Gold Coast</a> off the plan apartment market
While there was little movement in terms of new projects either launching or going through the apporval process
demand for off the plan apartments is approaching 12-month highs
Enquiry in January 2025 was at its highest point since February 2024, led by increased demand in the likes of <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developments/coolangatta-qld-4225">Coolangatta</a>, <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developments/biggera-waters-qld-4216">Biggera Waters</a>, and <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developments/runaway-bay-qld-4216">Runaway Bay</a>

Buyers have jumped at the $1.5 million two-bedroom apartments
as well as as the $3.25 million three-bed apartments
January saw more than just a surge in enquiries; views of <a href="/developments/gold-coast-qld" target="" class="wordlink">Gold Coast</a> projects hit an 18-month high
driven by both local and interstate buyers
<a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developments/surfers-paradise-qld-4217">Surfers Paradise</a> experienced a notable rise

In the shadow of Paradise Point and Runaway Bay
Coombabah is emerging as the top pick for buyers who want more bang for their buck
The highest sale ever recorded in Coombabah was 74 Burrendong Rd
which changed hands last year for $1.52m through STRUD Property
PropTrack data reveals the median house price in Coombabah was $957,500
sells in Coombabah and said renovations and new-builds had put the suburb on the map
“I started selling real estate 15 years ago in Coombabah and I used to put the buyers in the car and show them the suburb
“Of course a lot has changed over the years — lots of families have renovated and some people have even knocked down old houses and rebuilt.”
Mr Niari said Coombabah offered a similar lifestyle to neighbouring Paradise Point and Runaway Bay but at a more affordable price point
“It was a but of an unknown suburb but it’s becoming more known because it’s still quite affordable,” he said
Recent sales in the suburb include 12 Burrendong Road ($1.37m)
28 Cartagena Lane ($1.331m) and 35 Cartagena Lane ($1.472m)
Mr Smith said Coombabah was the last coastal suburb with “affordable pricing”
“Homes here are flying off the market at record prices
Coombabah offers all the benefits of Paradise Point at a fraction of the price,” Mr Smith said
“Families and downsizers alike are flocking to the area
and access to nature with its 32 per cent parkland coverage and popular boating spots along Coombabah Creek.”
It’s all about position in a newly renovated Runaway Bay home on a waterfront corner block with sweeping views of the Broadwater
jetty and 28.1m of waterfrontage with only a few metres of council owned parklands between the home and the Gold Coast Broadwater
The rare position attracted Mark Geraghty to the property in 2021
There are plenty of different areas to entertain or unwind
It was this rare position and the once in a lifetime opportunity it offered which attracted owner Mark Geraghty to the property in 2021
“It’s highly unique as there’s no road in front of it
and almost every room faces the Broadwater offering these incredible uninterrupted views that will never be built out.”
Noting the property was in need of an update when he purchased it
Mr Geraghty embarked on an extensive renovation of the home with the aim of maximising its Broadwater aspect
so was quite dated and was in need of a bit of TLC,” he said
we took on the task of renovating it slowly while also living in the house.”
Mr Geraghty updated everything from the bathrooms to the kitchen

low maintenance estate that capitalises on every aspect of its waterfront position
“It’s great to see it finished as there’s been a lot of blood
sweat and tears go into this home,” he said
oversized swimming pool and seven-seater spa
the property embraces resort-style living and has a focus on entertaining
dining and kitchen have views to both the Broadwater and canal
while an expansive al fresco entertaining terrace features a built-in BBQ
and has uninterrupted vistas across the Broadwater
but also extremely private,” Mr Geraghty said
“It’s a true entertainer’s home and the type of place where the kids can have their friends here listening to music and playing pool downstairs
The house overlooks council-owned parklands and the Broadwater
Mr Geraghty said the council-owned parklands between the home and the Broadwater added to the property’s exclusive feel
and it’s like having an extension to your garden that you aren’t required to maintain,” he said
In addition to a private jetty on the canal-side of the property
there is also a boat ramp with direct access to a boat shed
“Because the jetty is located on the inlet side
it’s protected from the winds,” Mr Geraghty said
“And it’s large and deep enough that you could easily accommodate a 70-80ft boat there.”
With his children now approaching adulthood
but said a property of this size in this location offered a once in a lifetime opportunity
“These types of properties don’t come up very often and it hasn’t sold many times
“It’s just a sensational location and there’s a good chance we won’t see it for sale again in our lifetime.”

</a>Whether you&#x27;re looking to invest or nest in south-east Queensland
Runaway Bay is an attractive waterside location with a lot to offer
It is one of the most beautiful and secluded suburbs on the Gold Coast
with an abundance of natural beauty and leisure attractions
The waterfront suburb of Runaway Bay is attracting attention on the Gold Coast
with new premium residences available on the water in the heart of Runaway Bay
they typically picture Surfers Paradise or Burleigh Heads
But with booming interest in south-east Queensland property
buyers are now looking for the next hidden gem – and Runaway Bay is turning heads
&quot;It&#x27;s a beautiful suburb,&quot; says PropTrack economist Anne Flaherty
&quot;It&#x27;s got everything buyers want
and it&#x27;s very close to some of the most popular beaches
but it&#x27;s not as touristy as further down south.&quot;  
Runaway Bay is a predominantly waterfront suburb with many homes within walking distance of a canal
it’s only 10-15 minutes from Southport and Main Beach in one direction
Hope Island and Sanctuary Cove in the other
The waterfront location of Ocean Suites is hard to beat
and several golf courses are in easy distance
waterfront restaurants and shopping options are dotted throughout the suburb
Flaherty says it is an area people are increasingly noticing – especially with surging  interest in coastal locations since the pandemic
“Units in Runaway Bay have increased 5.4% over the past 12 months,” she says
“Properties in Runaway Bay are also generating a very high rental yield of 5.2%.” 
The median price for houses in Runaway Bay has risen by 46.3% in five years
up to $1,441,000 from $985,000 – with waterfront homes in the suburb fetching a multimillion-dollar premium
Runaway Bay has a new luxury development with prime canal-front positioning
says Sand Side Developments managing director Mr Malouf
Ocean Suites on Jennifer comprises just seven boutique residences that offer absolute waterfront living
with amenities that epitomise sophistication and luxury
“We chose this specific location due to its wide water frontage
proximity to the Broadwater and local shops,” Malouf says
Ocean Suites on Jennifer offers opulent waterfront living
“It&#x27;s also a quiet street with beautiful parklands and beach on the shores of the Broadwater just a couple of houses away
“We think our buyers will really enjoy living here.” 
each home is designed with waterfront living in mind and has multiple sitting areas where residents can enjoy the high life
but these are very unique in how much outside living space they have,&quot; Malouf says
On the ground floor is a 10.5sqm outdoor terrace with built-in seating
a fireplace and bordered with a beautiful pool
&quot;You can literally walk out of your home into the jetty
jump in your boat and be out on the Broadwater in 30 seconds,&quot; Malouf says
Imagine heading down to your own private jetty
which can take 40 minutes just to get out to the ocean.&quot; 
Malouf says locals often visit Wave Break Island on day trips or head to the Marina Mirage for premium dining and shopping
The lavish Ocean Suites development features a luxe coastal aesthetic and meticulous design
with 350sqm-plus floorplans that maximise natural light
including an impressive four bedrooms and four bathrooms in each residence
Malouf says the open-style kitchens feature a spectacular oversized stone island bench
This is matched with two chef-grade Bosch ovens
a European wine fridge and a roof void where sunlight streams in
&quot;You can have your guests sitting there and entertain them while you&#x27;re cooking or serving drinks,&quot; Malouf says
with each residence featuring high-end design
He adds that zoned living has been a pivotal focus
with sitting and entertaining areas on every level
There&#x27;s also an indoor sunroom that faces north to catch the most light
there&#x27;s a sun deck area with a gas strut window for seamless indoor-outdoor living
The spacious bedrooms have walk-in robes and glamorous bathrooms with soaking baths
Malouf says Ocean Suites has received plenty of interest

Its full-floor residences with 273sq m floorplates as well as Broadwater and ocean views are priced off-the-plan from $3.545 million
Its resident amenities will include two swimming pools
Plus Architecture’s tower design features a curved form to “reflect the ebb and flow of the ocean”
“A striking and seamless indoor-outdoor flow is cultivated through floor-to-ceiling glazing overlooking panoramic views of the water,” its design statement said
Project marketing agent Andrew Erwin of NPA Projects said there was still a significant level of inquiry in the Gold Coast market from both interstate relocators and local downsizers
“The land has been tightly held for 50 years and it offers arguably one of the longest viewlines on the Gold Coast.”

SkyTiger Services hosted a successful beach clean-up initiative at Runaway Bay on November 30.
According to a release, the company’s employees came together to demonstrate their commitment to environmental sustainability and community welfare by removing significant amounts of trash from the beach and surrounding areas.

We speak to the team behind the most intriguing recent property sale
The Lewis family swapped Melbourne’s four seasons in one day for an idyllic life on the Coast, watching the ever-changing seascape unfold before their <a href="https://www.realestate.com.au/property-house-qld-runaway+bay-142576832?sourcePage=rea:p4ep:property-details&amp;sourceElement=avm-currently-advertised-view-listing" title="www.realestate.com.au">Runaway Bay beach house</a>
Jacqueline and Jeff Lewis purchased their character-filled four-bedroom
two-bathroom home in 2016 and undertook extensive renovations to enhance its coastal ambience
have since enjoyed many adventure-packed days
taking advantage of 22m of canal frontage from the house with a boat ramp and pontoon providing easy access to the Broadwater
A boat ramp and pontoon provide bridge-free access to the Broadwater
“We’d never really even holidayed on the Coast before we moved
but we could picture a life with a boat at our back door
and so we were really drawn to the Broadwater,” Ms Lewis said
“We’ve spent many weekends going all the way up to Peel Island [in Moreton Bay] and it’s been such a good place for the kids to be able to explore from a young age — before the jetskis were the tinnies.”
Regular visitors to the property’s boat ramp included turtles and dolphins as well as schools of bream each morning and afternoon
the time has come for the Lewis family to move on and
the home on an 807sq m lot at 7 Samarai Ave will go under the hammer on August 12
It is marketed by Ray White agent James Drake
laundry and kitchen were all renovated with luxury finishes
doors and windows were upgraded and pendant lighting installed
Shiplap cladding and VJ panelled walls were added to enhance the home’s traditional charm
while a neutral colour palette allowed light to flood open living spaces beneath soaring cathedral ceilings
a management consultant with a passion for interior design
said they rented the home for a year before buying it
“When we walked into that house I would have described it as a bit of an ugly duckling
but it had a beautiful structure and I could see how it could be transformed,” she said
“I wanted to create a calming space where everyone can relax and unwind
and the neutral interiors really allow the outlook to shine.”

A north-facing patio is ideal for entertaining
with a built-in barbecue kitchen and bar fridge leading to the pool and sun deck
Mr Drake said the property was located in tightly held enclave of Runaway Bay which was sought after by boaties and seachangers
“Most of the homes in these streets don’t come to market for at least a decade
and those that do become available are usually unrenovated,” he said
“It is a unique area for its accessibility to the Broadwater
with zero bridges to navigate between the pontoon and open water so it is quite desirable even for larger boats
French doors open onto a private courtyard
“I think the home lends itself to that sort of beach vibe
and we have had lots of people inquiring from Sydney and Melbourne as well as from interstate
so I’m expecting a great crowd at the auction.”

“This boutique development has very limited opportunities available and with Alroe Constructions now appointed and construction expected to commence

The master bedroom has a luxurious ensuite complete with a freestanding bath
There is also a designer walk-in robe and a make-up space with an oversized

“Stuart Osman has crafted an exceptional project with a clever use of space; the villas are so spacious
with unrivalled attention to detail and premium materials,” he said
we will be using block work concrete combined with light weight features to give it the soft texture on the outside
“With a short build time of just 14 months
buyers can expect to be settling into their new homes by mid-2025.” 
Each villa at Ocean Suites on Jennifer is fully equipped with smart home technology offering control over lighting
Located within the northern Gold Coast suburb of Runaway Bay
the development is 300m by canal to the Broadwater by boat or jet ski or just an 80m walk to an exclusive beach by the Broadwater

Former Newcastle Knights and St George Illawarra Dragons coach David Waite is overseeing a junior coaching education program at Runaway Bay Seagulls that is ensuring rugby league coaches have the skillset to assist young players in a positive way
The innovative community program, which has won the <a href="/communityawards/">Auswide Bank Community Program Award for July</a>
has fostered a culture of excellence through the sharing of knowledge and expertise
Club president Nathan Wydmuch said the program was initiated after he asked Waite
back in 2017 about how to make progress and develop as a coach
“What do the rep coaches and NRL coaches know that we don’t know
a few questions about upskilling as a coach,” Wydmuch said
“David gave me a brief overview and said that to ‘coach the coaches’ is the best way to do it
Then we had a meeting about what we could do to upskill and make better coaches
“We went through our resources and looked around the club for people who could help
and there’s Darryl Fisher who is a highly regarded rep coach
We’ve also got Hudson Smith who has played over 100 games at the top grade [for Balmain and in the Super League]
“So we got together and came up with a manual and program.”
The club has a big coaching education session at the start of the season and then every few months during the year
In the first session the club held in 2018 about seven of 32 coaches attended
Darryl Fisher and Hudson Smith are at our training sessions every night of the week offering their help and expertise
Since we have put this program in I don’t think he has missed a single night of training or a game day
“To have someone with his name and stature at the club is obviously a selling point but his knowledge is second-to-none
The way he can convey it to a seven or eight-year-old is just phenomenal.”
coached the Dragons to grand finals in 1996 and 1999
“It is one thing to coach at the highest level but the way he also makes it fun for young kids is phenomenal,” Wydmuch said
He does it all for free because we don’t pay anyone a cent.”
The results have been there for all to see
From 400 players four years ago the club now has 650
From under 6s through to under 18s the club has 36 teams
Wydmuch said the club wanted the coaches to not just focus on enhancing the skills of the players
“We also looked at creating an environment where players want to come and learn
“I didn’t want any focus on winning whatsoever
We love to win and want to be competitive but we were not going to be results driven
“We got a drone and did some filming and game tape
All coaches are given an understanding of the NRL Player Development Framework (PDF) so the players are provided with a positive experience when playing and learning about rugby league
Wydmuch said the coaching program leaders were always seeking feedback and input from their coaches
It is not a “my way or the highway” approach but an interactive one where constructive feedback is sought
“Every age group has a meeting with parents that we are about a positive environment and not about winning,” Wydmuch said
“We even do mental health sessions because that is important to us and we teach the kids that just because you don’t make a rep team that doesn’t matter
“Our program is focused on a couple of skills
