Our Lead Sherpa, Christie Leet, has spent 30 working on the ultimate expedition – a home that delivers the pinnacle of lifestyle, without compromise. That would mean the perfect location, the perfect site, and the perfect design. And when the project design is based on our core values – most importantly, Less is More, the result is something that is unsurpassed and something owners will never want to give up.When Christie found two adjoining sites on Albatross Avenue, with 25m frontage, he knew he’d found the perfect location for his “Everest”. In the best beachside locations, costs traditionally increase as lot sizes decrease. When square metres shrink to increase numbers, Sherpa takes the reverse approach - maximising what people want - large, open luxury inside your home in a location that delivers the very best lifestyle the Gold Coast can offer outside your home. You can live the beach lifestyle when you step outside your front door. But only Sherpa combines that outdoor and community lifestyle with the luxury of space and freedom inside your home – where you spend most of your time.One of the tightest held real estate markets is Mermaid Beach on the Gold Coast, with owners holding property 20% longer on Albatross Avenue. Many residents have lived there for more than 30 years. That’s partly because it has supreme lifestyle opportunities and partly because this is the 10% of coastline governed by a 3-storey (15m) height limit. While the highly prestigious Hedges Avenue is congested with one-way traffic, Albatross offers a two-way street and wider frontages – there’s enormous difference between 10m frontages and the 12.5m on Albatross Avenue. ”I was so excited by the site and the design that I have already sold my beachfront home on the Gold Coast in preparation for living on Albatross. What I’m really looking forward to is joining the select few who can take advantage of my 30-year search and Sherpa’s new Perspective on beachside living.” - Lead Sherpa, Christie Leet

Buyers have made a rush at the only new off-the-plan beachfront apartment project to arrive in Palm Beach, with 5Point Projects’ Ophira selling over half of its units following its launch late last year.

Capitalising on the absence of ultra-luxury apartments in the Gold Coast's newly established millionaire's row on Jefferson Lane, the $60 million <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/ophira-105-107-jefferson-lane-palm-beach">Ophira Palm Beach</a> has successfully sold five of its entire floor residences, each fetching over $7 million.

5Point Director, Damian Dove, says it’s been a phenomenon driven by local buyers enticed by the level of luxury and space offered in Ophira coupled with the fact it is the only absolute beachfront project in Palm Beach and currently in market.

“I think the locality of buyers we’ve welcomed is a huge testament to Ophira’s appeal to discerning locals who have a deep appreciation and understanding of the projects positioning as one of the coasts’ most coveted residential addresses.” Dove said.

"Ophira is the only absolute off the plan beachfront project currently in market situated in the highly sought after Jefferson Lane precinct. Our expectations for the project were high and they have been not only met but exceeded."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=138441 project_image_fid=221553]

“As with each of our projects, we wanted to create something that differentiated itself from the market," Dove added.

"I think the sales we’ve achieved to date are a strong indication that our aptitude for quality design and remarkable architecture are resonating with buyers.

“Given the rate with which apartments have been purchased to date, we expect the remaining apartments to sell out fast.”

Construction is officially underway on the project. Prices start from&nbsp;$6.55 million.

Luxury Palm Beach apartment development Ophira races to 50% sold

The only beachfront apartment project on the market in the coveted Gold Coast suburb of Palm Beach has notched up more than $20 million in sales only weeks after its launch to the market.

The $60 million Ophira Palm Beach has taken advantage of the lack of ultra-luxury apartments in the Gold Coast’s new “millionaire’s row”, selling three of its whole floor apartments for in excess of $7 million each.

Market interest has been very strong since the project was launched earlier this month.

Developer builder 5Point Projects has already commenced construction on Ophira, conscious of the continued interest in the luxury top end and continued demand for luxury product.

5Point Managing Director Damian Dove says the buyers have been locals with existing residences in the area.

"[They] have recognised that this level of luxury and space is extremely limited in Palm Beach and unlikely to change in the near term," Dove said.

“Ophira is the only absolute off the plan beachfront project currently in market situated in the highly sought after Jefferson Lane precinct, so we had high expectations which thus far have been well and truly met.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=138441 project_image_fid=221546]

Ophira Palm Beach comprises just seven full-floor sky homes and a sprawling two-level penthouse. Each full-floor residence has 290 sqm of living space, including open balconies with views up and down the coast.

Ophira’s two-level penthouse will deliver 637 sqm of living space with four bedrooms, five bathrooms and its own private outdoor entertainment area featuring a pool, spa, sauna, sundeck, with teppanyaki bar, a sunken lounge and fire pit.

“We are fortunate that we are in a position to build immediately and the inquiries for&nbsp;Ophira despite having little marketing attention until now has been quite remarkable," Dove added.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=138441 project_image_fid=221549]

The project, marketed by Jamie Bourke and Dylan Molloy of ARC Project Marketing, presents a unique opportunity for downsizers looking for high-end product where there are very limited opportunities.

Through private entryways, Ophira’s exclusive collection of full-floor sky homes open to reveal a meticulously designed tranquil oasis featuring wine storage, a functioning scullery off the kitchen, three spacious bedrooms all fully ensuited with designer robes, plus study and a family/media room.

Interiors are infused with natural products encompassing stone benchtops and tiles, polished lime render and oak timber highlighted via the abundance of natural light throughout imparting a glow that complements the exquisite décor.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=138441 project_image_fid=221552]

“Ophira has been highly anticipated by the local market close to the cosmopolitan heart of Palm Beach, combined with its spacious living and the supreme privacy that this limited collection of residences offers, have already captured the imagination of buyers.”

“Ophira, has been designed for a discerning buyer, and we don’t shy away from that,” said Mr Dove.

Ophira Palm Beach residents will enjoy a sanctuary of calm with shared amenities on level one including an exclusive plunge pool and sun deck plus a communal garden which will be a focal point for relaxation and wellbeing.

Residences at Ophira Palm Beach start from $6.35M.

Bottega and 5Point launch luxury Faro Broadbeach apartments

Builder developer 5Point Projects is aiming to set a new benchmark of luxury living on the Palm Beach beachfront with the reveal of their $60 million project, Ophira Palm Beach.

Ophira Palm Beach, just seven full-floor apartments and a two-level penthouse, is the only off the plan beachfront apartment development in market on Jefferson Lane, which has become the southern Gold Coast's millionaire's row in recent years.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=138441 project_image_fid=221546]

Each full-floor apartment will offer between 290 sqm to 317 sqm of internal and outdoor living space. The living areas have been designed to take in as much of the ocean views as possible, through the floor-to-ceiling windows and the full-width balconies that open from the living space.

The apartments have three bedrooms, each with an ensuite, as well as a study and a multi-purpose room. The kitchens feature stone benchtops, a tucked away scullery, and wine storage.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=138441 project_image_fid=221548]

Ophira’s two-level penthouse will deliver an expansive 637 sqm of living space with four bedrooms, four bathrooms and its own private outdoor entertainment area featuring a pool, spa, sundeck with teppanyaki bar, and a sunken lounge with a fire pit.

Ophira Palm Beach residents will enjoy a sanctuary of calm with shared amenities on level one including an exclusive plunge pool and sun deck plus a communal garden which will be a focal point for relaxation and wellbeing.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=138441 project_image_fid=221545]

5Point have a long track record of constructing some of the most premium projects in Palm Beach.

“We are salivating over delivering Ophira to the market because of its sublime absolute beachfront location over two blocks at a time when there just aren’t any beachfront sites in the market,” said 5Point director Damian Dove.

“There is also incredible demand in Palm Beach for luxury apartment living but just not the stock or the capacity to build.

“We are fortunate that we are in a position to build immediately and the inquiries for Ophira despite having little marketing attention until now has been quite remarkable.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=138441 project_image_fid=221553]

Dove says Ophira has been highly anticipated by the local market, close to the cosmopolitan heart of Palm Beach, combined with its spacious living and the supreme privacy.

Jamie Bourke and Dylan Molloy of ARC Project Marketing said Ophira presents a unique opportunity for downsizers looking for high-end product where there are very limited opportunities.

"Not only is there nothing like this in the market, but we have gone to extraordinary lengths to create a project that will be an absolute icon for the southern Gold Coast,”&nbsp;Molloy said.

“5Point have infused Ophira with lavish coastal elegance, taking the best of beachfront living back to its roots with each of these residences offering the ultimate in privacy where homeowners can truly immerse themselves in this beautiful part of the Gold Coast.”

Prices start from $6.35 million.

5Point to set new Palm Beach apartment benchmark with Ophira Palm Beach

Residential developer Azure has secured a buyer for the most expensive penthouse in their Toowong apartment development, One Earle Lane.

The penthouse, one of four that will top the project in Brisbane's inner west, sold for $3.85 million to a local buyer.

One Earle Lane by Azure, which is taking shape on a 2,697 sqm parkside block on the corner of Sylvan Road and Earle Lane, comprises 90 apartments across eight levels.

Just eight apartments are left in the project, including three penthouses which start from $3.6 million.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112120 project_image_fid=206696]

Azure Director Trent Kiernan said One Earle Lane has been "extremely well received by the market."

“We’re pleased to announce that, with construction now well under way, the first of our exclusive penthouse collection has sold to a local buyer capping off a strong run of sales across the development,” Kiernan said.

“One Earle Lane has been extremely well received by the market with buyers recognising our vision to create a premium project that offers a suite of superbly appointed residences and amenities.”

Designed by Paul Conrad from Conrad Architects, One Earle Lane will deliver a collection of one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments that have been crafted to take advantage of the site’s proximity to urban and natural amenity, including Toowong Park and the nearby Brisbane River.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112120 project_image_fid=206695]

Residences in the Parkview and Penthouse Collection each deliver unobstructed northern views across the heritage-listed park.

The four penthouse apartments command park and city views on the northern façade and provide spacious living areas that are enhanced by expansive balconies.

Each penthouse features three bedrooms plus a multi-purpose room.

“Among the buyers showing interest in the remaining Parkview and Penthouse Collection are affluent downsizers from surrounding suburbs who appreciate everything the area has to offer,” Keirnan added.

“As One Earle Lane starts to take shape, we anticipate that interest in our Parkview and Penthouse Collections will continue to increase.”

One Earle Lane takes residential living in Toowong to a new level, from the entry lobby, concierge desk and business lounge, to the rooftop residents club above the eighth floor with its resort-style facilities including a wellness area with a large sauna, steam room, hot and cold magnesium plunge baths and gymnasium.

The rooftop recreation club will feature a 25-metre swimming pool with sun lounges and barbecue area, while the wellness centre will deliver a combined offering of restoration zones and physical activities.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112120 project_image_fid=206691]

The indoor spaces within the residents’ recreation club include a cinema and a private dining room, which is fully equipped with a chef’s kitchen to provide a true residential dining experience - or it can double as a luxe boardroom or an area for business presentations.

One Earle Lane, with its dominating frontage along the tree-lined Sylvan Road, takes advantage of its prime location in Toowong, the western gateway to Brisbane’s CBD and surrounded by natural and urban amenities, including retail, education and professional employment nodes.

Keirnan said Azure has taken a global design approach with One Earle Lane to create bespoke residences that are aligned with the demands of owner occupiers.

“We pride ourselves on creating communities in which people live and One Earle Lane epitomises this philosophy. The level of amenity to be found is the kind that would only be available in a building with twice the number of apartments.

“One Earle Lane also delivers a diverse range of residences to cater for a range of buyers looking for a chic and sophisticated lifestyle that truly feels like home. We are pleased to say that our buyers recognise the level of detail and planning that has gone into this project to achieve this.”

One Earle Lane is under construction by 5Point Projects, the builder that is currently progressing construction of Azure’s One Five Six project in New Farm, which is due for completion in the first quarter of 2024.

Construction of One Earle Lane began in January this year, with Azure targeting completion in the fourth quarter of next year.
