The first development at Budds Beach in more than a decade has commenced construction, with award-winning builder and developer McNab bringing the sculptural 28-level Elements tower to life.

The milestone coincides with new research from the National Property Research Co that shows the Gold Coast will need another 144,000 new dwellings over the next two decades to meet the forecast population growth, set to tip one million residents by 2045.

McNab Executive Chairman Michael McNab said the 28-level&nbsp;<a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/elements-budds-beach-surfers-paradise-21-oak-avenue-surfers-paradise-qld-4217">Elements</a> would deliver 87 two, three and four-bedroom apartments in the exclusive Budds Beach enclave.

“Budds Beach is incredibly tightly held, with very few properties exchanging hands in the past five years," McNab said.

"Once you see it for yourself, you can understand why. It’s an enclave you would only discover if you lived locally – a pristine riverfront beach, tree-lined streets and village-style cafes, just seven-minutes' walk from the iconic oceanside of Surfers Paradise."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=111522 project_image_fid=322249]

McNab said they've always looked to position their projects in areas loaded with lifestyle and on the cusp of growth.

“Budds Beach delivers on this, and our vision for Elements will soon create a sculptural landmark and new housing supply in an area where there is strong appetite for premium, home-sized apartments.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=111522 project_image_fid=322243]

As testament to the project’s design and location, both McNab and the company’s CEO, Kunjan Ganatra, have both purchased apartments in Elements.

Designed by Cottee Parker, the $170 million tower, located at 21 Oak Avenue in Surfers Paradise, is scheduled for completion by Q32027.

Director of National Property Research Co Matthew Gross said more projects of this scale needed to break ground on the Gold Coast to meet the extraordinary pace of growth.

“In the next 20 years the Gold Coast’s population is forecast to surpass one million residents, which means another 144,000 new dwellings will need to be delivered to meet that demand,” Gross said

“The supply-demand imbalance has had a significant impact on property values in the city, with the median apartment price increasing 343 per cent since 2000 from $174,900 to its current median price of $795,000 for the first quarter of 2025."

In the past decade, we’ve also seen the number of apartment sales above $2 million grow by 1,600%, from just 33 sales in 2014 to more than 528 sales in 2024, Gross added.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=111522 project_image_fid=322247]

Elements has been progressively released to the market in stages since its formal launch, with more than 65 per cent of apartments in the Azure Collection now sold.

Managing Director of MOTIV, Carly Cottam, said a limited number of two and three-bedroom apartments were available in the Azure Collection at Elements, priced from $1.31 million for a two-bedroom apartment and from $1.75 million for a three-bedroom apartment.

“These apartments are designed for the local market and feature large floor plans, clever storage solutions and impeccable finishes,” Cottam said.

“Soon we will be releasing the Horizon Collection at Elements, which comprises just 10 four-bedroom 
plus multipurpose room residences, spanning half a residential level."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=111522 project_image_fid=322250]

Featuring European Oak flooring, natural stone benchtops, and an opulent wine bar complete with integrated wine fridge, Cottam said apartments within the Horizon Collection start from $3.912 million.

The full-floor penthouse at Elements has not yet been released to market. Crowning the top of Elements is a full-floor retreat dedicated to wellness and entertaining, with 360-degree views and extensive resident amenities including a horizon-edge pool, poolside lounge, BBQ and teppanyaki bar, yoga deck, gymnasium, sauna, and hot plunge pool.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=111522 project_image_fid=322252]

The construction milestone at Elements follows the successful delivery of White Main Beach, which was completed by <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developers/mcnab-developments">McNab</a> in 2024 and awarded best Apartment Building over $50m by the Queensland Master Builders Assoc.

McNab remains one of the few builders in Queensland to consistently grow their pipeline and deliver projects ahead of schedule — a direct result of the company’s integrated business model, which leverages in-house teams of skilled tradespeople, and produces high-quality building materials, to help overcome industry-wide labour and material shortages.

McNab breaks ground on Elements apartment tower at Budds Beach

Builder developer <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developers/mcnab-developments">McNab</a> has snook in before the Christmas holidays to file plans for their recently acquired Montague Street, <a href="/new-apartments/west-end-qld-4101">West End apartment development</a> site.

They've had their go-to architecture partner&nbsp;Cottee Parker put together plans for a new 82-apartment building at <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/439-montague-road-west-end">439 Montague Road, West End</a>, the former Dixon's Tannery site.

As part of the heritage status of the former tannery building, <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developers/mcnab-developments">McNab</a> will be retaining and adaptively re-using the key industrial structures from the Late Colonial era and create a pair of villa-style dwellings within the existing building volume of the heritage factory.&nbsp;

The Tannery was first established by Thomas Coar Dixon during the mid 1870s and was subsequently destroyed and rebuilt as a result of the&nbsp;1893 Brisbane River flood.

<img alt="Dixon Tannery" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="b459e67d-f5e7-4c2a-892c-4919f8819d1f" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202023-12-20%20at%201.38.32%20pm.png?VersionId=fP.od53QQOHzZ.rgIUjodZoSXXJopDkT" />

Taking up the majority of the vast 4,465 sqm site is the new 10-level, glass-swathed building with 82 two and three-bedroom apartments. The building steps down from the 10th level to the fifth level on the southern boundary which creates what Cottee Parker says will be an iconic and recognisable shape, while also creating&nbsp;plentiful outdoor dwelling and recreation areas for residents.

In their Architectural Design Statement submitted to the Brisbane City Council this week, Cottee Parker referenced the late musician Robbie Robertson's most famous lines “You don’t stumble upon your heritage. It’s there, just waiting to be explored and shared.”

Cottee Parker said the proposed building has been designed with sensitivity to the local context and historical significance of the existing heritage building.

"The interface between the heritage and residential has been considered to create connections between the two buildings while refraining from building upon the heritage by maintaining a buffer zone," the report noted.

"Sympathetic acknowledgement of the heritage facade is also achieved through the feature columns along the podium that have been intentionally designed to match the angle of the heritage roof.

"The interface between the two buildings is lined with garden landscaping as well as raised planters and feature lamps which create a textured backdrop to the ‘Public Plaza’ and provide a comfortable space for residents and visitors to dwell in and pass through."

<img alt="Tannery" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="e6a5c7ef-0db3-4c2a-bc1d-4d2d4a3f926b" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202023-12-20%20at%201.47.10%20pm.png?VersionId=bO8ZBlL9gx86bUbtnquyVtpV2VTwUda0" />

The apartments have been arranged to maximise and take advantage of the unique views the site has to offer. There will be city glimpses toward the top of the building to the north east and parkland and river views to the south east.

An L-shape corridor is provided with glazing and raised planters with lush greenery spilling over to maintain a constant connection between internal and external spaces.

The apartment designs have been optimized to maximise the natural daylight exposure to residents.

<img alt="Tannery" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="1238e81e-0663-4a38-9e67-5f219f4aa030" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202023-12-20%20at%201.38.09%20pm.png?VersionId=DNHPJTOyfKLHvZdf_YdQ40ZqcO8wGIrl" />

Crowning the building is the resident amenity which will feature a&nbsp;gym, steam room, a dining and lounge space, a lap pool, and a pair of open dining spaces and a yoga lawn area.

The building is uniquely located on Montague Street, quietly set well back from the street down a laneway therefore not having a street frontage like a typical apartment development.

Cottee Parker has also designed McNab's soon to launch Gold Coast apartment development <a href="/new-apartments/elements-budds-beach-surfers-paradise-21-oak-avenue-surfers-paradise-qld-4217">Elements Budds Beach</a>.

Stockland's Newport community in the Moreton Bay Region on the Redcliffe Peninsula is well and truly thriving.

Having kicked off development of the 143-hectare masterplan back in 2016, Newport is now a connected community filled with amenity, facilities, and thousands of residents surrounded by the coastal suburb's own canals and lakes.

Newport's own non-tidal, 22-hectare lake is a coastal dream. The lake lends itself to extensive water activities, from sailing to kayaking and even paddleboarding.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=107206 project_image_fid=243293]

The well established precinct,&nbsp;under 40 kilometres from the Brisbane CBD and easily accessed by both car and public transport, also recently opened the Newport Marketplace at Lakeview Promenade which offers three precincts; medical, lifestyle, and food and beverage.

There are a number different health businesses including Chrysalis Dental Care, Newport Family Doctors, and Newport Physio and Health, while Serendipity Hair Newport and KLIF Lashes and Brows take care of the lifestyle needs.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=107206 project_image_fid=243294]

There are five eateries at Newport Marketplace to choose from which cater for any time of day.&nbsp;

Sidonié Patisserie &amp; Boulangerie is the morning pitstop. The French patisserie is open for coffees and pastries from the early hours, but also rolls into the afternoon and evening, with options for a waterfront high tea and&nbsp;European Cuvée, Brut or Rosé Champagne to match.

Si Baby focuses on the flavours of Italy, offering wood fired pizza and fresh hand made pasta. Fishport Newport is one of two fish restaurants, offering waterfront casual dining with premium quality seafood. Completing the food and beverage options at Newport Marketplace is Sushi Hyo, a traditional Japanese sushi train restaurant, and the new Vietnamese restaurant Que Dining.

Newport Marketplace is anchored by an IGA, which operates from 6am to 9pm every day. An extension of the IGA is The Grove Cafe, another option for coffee lovers, and The Leaf, a retailer for home decor and gifting needs.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=107206 project_image_fid=224781]

There's even more shopping options nearby with the Kippa-Ring Shopping Centre, redeveloped in 2013, which has over 40 specialist stores including a Woolworths, Priceline Pharmacy, and a Gold's Gym. That adjoins the Peninsula Fair Shopping Centre, which has over 70 stores and services, from a HOYTS Cinema to car washing facilities and food and beverage options.

The shopping centres sit next to the&nbsp;Kippa-Ring Train Station which connects the region to Brisbane CBD and Brisbane's international and domestic airports. There's also an extensive public transport network across the Moreton Bay Region for local trips.

The Newport community is also only a couple of kilometres from Kayo Stadium, home of the new NRL team The Dolphins.&nbsp;

Given the prime location at Newport, as well as Stockland's long track record of delivering quality homes for over seven decades, opportunities in the coveted community have been at a premium.

Stockland has saved the best until last <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/news/qld/stockland-release-the-lake-residences-with-private-marina-berth-at-newport-qld">with their most recent release</a>, The Lake Residences, a collection of just 15 four and five-bedroom homes each with their own private marina berths.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=107206 project_image_fid=224782]

Each townhome has its own private plunge pool and outdoor shower, looking out to Newport Lake. The townhouses, designed by Hollindale Mainwaring Architecture, are well under construction by top tier builder McNab, with residents expected to move in in mid-2024.

The townhouses are ideally located in the Newport masterplan. Their Aqua Street location will put residents&nbsp;next to Lakeview Park, and just a short walk down Lakeview Promenade to Newport Marketplace.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=107206 project_image_fid=224783]

Coming out of Lakeview Promenade and heading the other way, residents will meet the&nbsp;AFL Sports Complex and Nathan Road Wetland Reserve.

The Lake Residences have proven popular with those from New South Wales and Victoria who are seeking a lakeside, boatie lifestyle.

Stockland's latest liveability survey shows nearly 90 per cent of residents at Newport call it a desirable place to live, with proximity of local parks and natural environment (97 per cent) and the ease of walking or cycling around the community (90 per cent), the most attractive characteristics of the masterplan.

Stockland Newport was recently awarded Excellence in Masterplanned Communities at the 2023 Urban Development Institute of Australia (UDIA) Queensland Awards.

Stockland's Newport masterplan delivering the best in lifestyle living

The founder of developer and builder McNab can still remember his first project - from his then young daughter’s bedroom 27 years ago in Toowoomba.

Fast forward to 2023 and Founder and Managing Director Michael McNab looks back with pride on how far the south-east Queensland based company has come - as it celebrates completion of their 32-storey luxury tower White Main Beach, in the blue-chip Main Beach on Tedder Avenue.

McNab acted as both developer and builder on the highrise, punctuating its reputation nowadays as a go-to Australian development and construction group - with 500-plus staff and a reputation as solid as the beloved timber it uses in its suite of projects.

<img alt="White Main Beach" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="f92719ce-afa5-4255-bafc-cab641128355" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/White%20Main%20Beach.jpg?VersionId=uamCp4D947pzQfOTeAlLSs71GuYZ0kHs" />

It’s that reputation for not just completing projects - as developer and the builder - but doing so to a high “gold” standard that McNab believes is always important in the development and construction sector.

“It's certainly a huge advantage - we know we can deliver," McNab says.

"The market is red hot and that’s stretched the building industry right to its limits. We're really focused on building for the best developers in the industry as well as delivering our own projects to the highest standards. We know we can do that.

“If we say we're going to do something, we get it done - and that is a bit of a problem for the development industry at the moment in south-east Queensland”.

McNab’s completion of White - with a three story penthouse plus 27 single-floor apartments spanning 325 square metres and a lift shaft privately opening into each owner’s living room - showcases the firm’s credentials as builder and developer.&nbsp;

McNab says there's a lot of developers popping up at the Gold Coast at the moment, but there are less than a handful of builders to be able to deliver proper projects.

“We're a commercial building company but over the last five to 10 years, we've certainly become a significant development business as well.”&nbsp;

<img alt="White Main Beach" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="a9c365c5-c65b-4507-8bd7-76f94a8c9f06" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/White%20Main%20Beach%202.jpg?VersionId=KUjx3LUKt7fI1xOkhX22HCn7awuYTXrq" />

McNab’s expertise covers an impressive range of capabilities with a resume spanning commercial, industrial and residential as well as agriculture-specific projects.

The firm has completed high-end residential through to Queensland-based poultry, piggery and abattoir installations plus large-scale industrial developments including projects equivalent in size to five Suncorp Stadiums.

McNab sees the delivery of end-to-end luxury highrise White Main Beach as a “great advertisement for all our skill sets”.&nbsp;

The company worked at a personal level with the individual apartment owners on bespoke interiors and designs for each, coordinating collaboration with architects and interior designers.&nbsp;

The move positioned McNab to receive accolades in the Urban Development Institute of Australia (UDIA) Awards for Excellence, with the project placing top four in Queensland among Apartments High-Rise delivered in 2023.&nbsp;

<img alt="White Main" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="575982d5-7cf8-402a-927a-506e0067039d" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/White%20Main%20Beach%20kitchen.jpg?VersionId=oWrsm0mWpaTfy5uVY6nUhF8TmPRlJ.mA" />

McNab head of investments and property development Carl Nancarrow said the reaction from buyers at the launch event after the project’s four-year journey reinforced the company was taking the right approach.

“When we can see the finished product, and in particular, see the purchasers come in and get such wonderful feedback from them how much they love living here. It just makes it all worthwhile,”&nbsp;Nancarrow says.

Nancarrow revealed their next end-to-end project will be at sought-after Budds Beach, a waterfront location with a similar charm and feel to Main Beach. Pre-release registrations for <a href="/new-apartments/elements-budds-beach-surfers-paradise-21-oak-avenue-surfers-paradise-qld-4217">Elements Budds Beach</a> are now being offered with Ray White Projects Gold Coast, with sales to the market commencing January next year.&nbsp;

“We select sites with foresight, envisaging the evolution of both owners and the project location. This way we ensure it best services those who call it home but also adds value to the surrounding community. Site selection and timeless design are at the forefront of vision with all our boutique developments," Nancarrow says.

“We can give anyone who wants to buy an apartment off McNab certainty this project is actually going to be delivered. We've got the best builder in southeast Queensland ready to go. And as soon as we hit our milestones, we're into construction.”

McNab says there's a lot of developers popping up at the Gold Coast at the moment, but there are less than a handful of builders to be able to deliver proper projects

McNab completes luxury White Main Beach apartment tower, reveals next Gold Coast project

ARIA Property Group has completed Trellis, one of its most sustainable Brisbane apartment developments to date.

Trellis, in South Brisbane, was sold out of all 110 apartments well before its recently completion by McNab to designs by Rothelowman.

ARIA focused its sustainable&nbsp;initiatives in four key areas: apartments, landscaping, water, and electricity.

<img alt="Trellis" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="09e45089-c17a-4b6f-8a43-a85406dc12be" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202023-11-20%20at%2011.17.53%20am.png?VersionId=d6iCyJe4CXQ.s5pbQ9TycyD4OHEBP32." />

Queenslander-style balconies wrap around each apartment for natural airflow and ventilation, accentuated by generously proportioned floor plans, three-metre high ceilings, and timber flooring. Cross-flow ventilation corridors, operable architectural screen doors and double-glazed glass reduce reliance on ducted air-conditioning.

Living areas transform into seamless indoor and outdoor spaces with the flush balcony via operable glazing.&nbsp;

The distinct rooftop of the building, with its various lifestyle amenities, is crowned by a trellis-like structure from extended columns and floating beams—featuring over 4,000 plants and over ninety-four climbers ascending across the layered facade to improve biodiversity, cooling the building and reducing the heat island effect. The rooftop features a 25-metre infinity pool and hot and cold magnesium baths.

<img alt="Trellis" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="c203a647-a716-4d59-937c-b306ef3d02a8" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202023-11-20%20at%2011.18.05%20am.png?VersionId=_3CoMQs_l.qHO5y4eBTstixE5.lWAMqX" />

Aria is incorporating 60,000L of rainwater tanks to capture as much rainwater as possible to irrigate planting, while they are&nbsp;also aimin to offset 100 per cent of common area electricity costs through solar panels and storing power through Tesla battery wall chargers.&nbsp;

The building will also provide a Tesla vehicle for resident use, and all parking spaces will feature infrastructure for future electric charger installation.

An open-plan conservatory replaced a traditional podium. The open-plan conservatory homes a&nbsp;lead residents through a cascading water wall to the Temple of Wellness, a fully equipped fitness centre and meditation zone with weights, pilates reformers, cardiovascular equipment and meditation pods. Aria Living also offers complimentary group yoga and group personal training fortnightly.

The $60 million project, which also features a private wine bar and lounge, a resident wine cellar, and a boardroom and podcast room, sits on&nbsp;Edmondstone Street, located adjacent to Musgrave Park, one of Brisbane’s oldest and most iconic parklands.

ARIA complete Trellis, sustainable South Brisbane apartment development

The Monaco, the luxury Main Beach apartment development by the local developer Ignite Projects,&nbsp;has secured a sell-out.

The Rothelowman-designed,&nbsp;24-level tower, with just 24 half and full-floor apartments, sold with an&nbsp;average sale price of $4.6 million. The penthouse secured $9.5&nbsp;million when bought by a Sydney buyer, who was in lockdown at the time of purchase.

The tower will rank as one of, if not the most expensive on the Gold Coast, not counting&nbsp;the smaller, boutique beachfront projects that might only rise five or six levels.

&nbsp;It&#39;s not the first time&nbsp;Ignite boss&nbsp;Josh Foote has seen stellar results recently, having quickly knocked over his apartment development at&nbsp;Palm Beach.

They sold out Cabana, a collection of 32 beachfront apartment, in six weeks, one of the quickest sell-outs the Gold Coast had seen for a long time.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=26730 project_image_fid=83445]

&quot;The Monaco naturally took a little longer, given the near $5 million average apartment price&quot;, Foote says.

&quot;The buyer pool is considerably smaller, less than one per cent of buyers can spend that much.&quot;

&ldquo;The building is setting a new standard for the suburb, which is getting a well-deserved facelift thanks to the $205 million revitalisation of the Spit to turn it into the Gold Coast&rsquo;s version of Hyde Park and a 300-berth marina at The Southport Yacht Club.&rdquo;

The Monaco saw a mix of local buyers, and those interstate from Sydney and Melbourne, NPA Projects Director Andrew Erwin, who exclusively handled the sales, said.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=26730 project_image_fid=83447]

&quot;It will be a second home for a lot of the buyers, but some will be calling it home&quot;, Erwin told Urban.

The Sydney-based buyer of the expansive two-level 630 sqm penthouse was impressed by the design and unrivalled location, and plans to use it for his &lsquo;forever home&rsquo;.

Construction is now underway by McNab Builders, with an estimated completion date of 2023.

Foote says there&#39;s no surprise to see the heightened demand for the Gold Coast, which he expects to continue now the country has seen what locals have seen for years.

&quot;It&#39;s just all about lifestyle, 100 per cent&quot;.

The developer worked on a few projects with a friend in his native Auckland before moving to the Gold Coast.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=26730 project_image_fid=140973]

&quot;It wasn&#39;t the value of the Gold Coast that brought me here, it was the lifestyle, and then the value become apparent.&quot;

Foote expects to be heading back to the Southern end of the Gold Coast for his next development, but like many in the industry, is finding it difficult to find a suitable site, for the right price.

&quot;I like developing down there. It&#39;s where I live, and it&#39;s probably the most beautiful part of the Gold Coast.

&quot;But it&#39;s that competitive at the moment, it&#39;s hard to find a site that will stack up. Land value is so high due to the demand for houses in desirable locations, even really old houses where an interstate buyer can knock down and rebuild and still see value.&quot;

He reckons great sites with any development potential have nearly doubled in price in the last 12 months or so. Crazy times.

The Monaco, Main Beach secures sell-out as one of Gold Coast's most expensive apartment towers

Brisbane-based Aria Property Group has consistently delivered not only popular developments, but those recognized officially as&nbsp;best-in-show for quality across Queensland and all of Australia by the UDIA, HIA, PCA, AIA and more.&nbsp;

Aria Property Group founder and&nbsp;managing director Tim Forrester said that since its inception in 2003, Aria&rsquo;s vision has been to create iconic residential and retail projects that we will be proud to walk our families past in 20 years&rsquo; time. Aria take great pride in the unique character, creativity and longevity of our projects and the leading role they play in the communities in which they reside.

They consistently work hand in hand with some of Australia&#39;s most decorated architects and interior designers recognising the need for top-of-the line expertise in every part of a development.

For three years, through 2017, 2018 and 2019, Aria was&nbsp;recognised by the UDIA as the Best High Density Developer in Australia. They have an even stronger track record in Queensland, awarded Best in Queensland in 2020, 2019, 2018, 2017, 2016, 2015, 2013, 2012 and&nbsp;2009.

Some of their most decorated developments include Oxley + Stirling Residences which won 11 awards across a sweeping range of categories. The South Brisbane apartment tower where&nbsp;residents get free bicycles, newspapers and yoga classes was created in collaboration with the decorated team at Elenberg Fraser.&nbsp;

A recent example of their success is the winning of&nbsp;two awards at the 2021 QLD Master Builders Award for its West End apartment development, Tree House. Tree House, designed by Rothelowman, won the overall 2021 QLD Master Builders Award for Residential (Regional), as well as the award for residential high-rise building over $20 million.

Their latest project is Trellis, billed as their most sustainable development to date. Filled with, as one might expect trellises, Aria&#39;s sustainable efforts extend to more than just a green thumb.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108278 project_image_fid=173596]

The four key areas of focus for Trellis&rsquo;s sustainability initiatives include landscaping and greenery,&nbsp;electricity, water and the apartments themselves, all with the goal of putting their best environmentally friendly foot forward, as has been a growing trend across their recent developments.

Aria has aimed to offset 100% of common area electricity costs,&nbsp;reducing reliance on air-conditioning,&nbsp;incorporating 60,000L of rainwater tanks and more like Tesla battery and wall charging.

All 110 of the two and three bedroom apartments in the 12 story building are have been designed by Rothelowman.

The 20 Edmondstone Street apartment building is home to more than 1,100 sqm of community amenity&nbsp;across the Residents&rsquo; Rooftop Club on level 13 and the&nbsp;Temple of Wellness on the ground floor.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108278 project_image_fid=173604]

Set for completion in mid-2023, construction will be undertaken by the team at&nbsp;McNab Construction.

As the latest in their line of South Brisbane developments, Trellis takes inspiration from wide open spaces used in previous developments with a sweeping 590 sqm lobby and three metre high ceilings in the apartments themselves.

The Monaco is the set to take centre stage at Main Beach on the Gold Coast when it&#39;s completed at the end of 2022.

The 24 level, glass-wrapped tower&nbsp;designed by Rothelowman&nbsp;will home just six half floor apartments, 17 full floor apartments and a double storey penthouse.

Urban sat down with Josh Foote, managing director of&nbsp;Ignite Projects who are developing the building,&nbsp;to discuss the project.

JR: What are the highlights of The Monaco and what do you think will attract buyers to the project?

JF: The Monaco offers a level of luxury rarely seen in apartments on the Gold Coast. We offer the ability to customise large sections of the 388m2 apartment to really make the home perfect for you. Every buyer can completely design their own dream kitchen, with the expertise of our interior designer on hand.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=26730 project_image_fid=83445]

JR: Why did you choose to target the ultra-luxury buyer? Did you see a gap in the market?

JF: I saw the emergence of some ultra-luxurious apartments in our capital cities and realised no-one was delivering this level of project apartment on the Gold Coast.&nbsp; We have some amazing houses here, but the downsizers were selling these and had no comparable apartments to move to.&nbsp; I wanted to offer the next level for apartment living and really raise the bar for Gold Coast apartments.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=26730 project_image_fid=83448]

JR: What did you like about the site?

JF: I just felt like Main Beach was ready for its resurrection and the renaissance was imminent, so I had my focus there.&nbsp; When this site popped up, I knew it offered the best of both the Marina and ocean views and the best thing is the views will never be built out.&nbsp; It ticked so many boxes for a sellable high-end location.

JR: What was the brief for Rothelowman?

JF: Celebrate the views. Bring the &lsquo;wow&rsquo; and push the design limits of a 6-star luxury hotel.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=26730 project_image_fid=83447]

JR: Why the name &lsquo;The Monaco&rsquo;?

JF: The name refers to a number if elements that all relate the principality of Monaco.&nbsp; When anyone thinks of Monaco they think of luxury and that is what our building will always have with the quality we have invested and the calibre of our buyers.&nbsp; The original idea with the sky garage and sports cars tied in with the Monaco Grand Prix and even now the calibre of the cars that will be parked in the garage will still reflect the style and quality of European motor racing.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=26730 project_image_fid=83446]

JR: Who do you think will be most interested in The Monaco?

JF: Our current buyers come from all parts of Australia but they all have one thing in common, a taste for quality and style.&nbsp; This building appeals to people who are looking for a really high level of quality and something that is quite unique from other projects.&nbsp; They will, like The Monaco, stand out from the crowd.

JR: What made you choose the Gold Coast after success in New Zealand?

JF: I was looking for a change, and a location that had good project opportunity, great weather, friendly people and an amazing lifestyle, which is hard to find.&nbsp; I&rsquo;ve travelled extensively all over the world and there are very few places that match the GC.

JR: Do you have any other projects in the pipeline?

JF: After the recent sell-out of Cabana in Palm Beach and the imminent sell out of The Monaco, naturally I&rsquo;m looking for another project, especially in the current climate.&nbsp; It&rsquo;s a competitive market out there right now but there are a couple of great beach front sites I&rsquo;m working on.&nbsp; It&rsquo;s all about the sand for me.
