440-442 The Esplanade, Palm Beach

The hot new apartment market in Palm Beach is set to receive another injection of luxury apartments in early 2025, with two recent approvals paving the way for more half and full-floor apartments near the beach.

Sydney-based developer <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developers/chanine-developments">Chanine Developments</a> has been given the green light to develop its first project outside of New South Wales, while local developer <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developments/palm-beach-qld-4221">Macquarie York</a> has its sights set on launching <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/cirrus-palm-beach-1101-gold-coast-highway-palm-beach">Cirrus</a> after its recent approval.

Earlier this year Chanine Developments secured a prime site across 1407 Gold Coast Highway and 402-404 The Esplanade, swiftly filing plans for a boutique eight-level building with 15 half-floor apartments and a massive five-bedroom penthouse with a private rooftop pool.

<img alt="Sydney developer eyes Palm Beach luxury apartments" data-entity-type="" data-entity-uuid="" src="https://res.cloudinary.com/dz9xllyip/image/fetch/c_scale,w_580,dpr_2.0,q_auto:good/https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screen%20Shot%202024-04-22%20at%204.38.57%20pm.png?VersionId=y4ALTq055_MU5Wgcg6pnUfQ6iLLkhQvj" />

Marwan&nbsp;Chanine&nbsp;said the vision&nbsp;is to bring the opulence of the Eastern Suburbs to&nbsp;<a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developments/palm-beach-qld" target="">Palm Beach</a>, in both finishes and aesthetics.

"The team is consistently looking across the entire eastern seaboard, and we've always loved Queensland,"&nbsp;<a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developers/chanine-developments" target="">Chanine</a>&nbsp;said of their first project outside of New South Wales.

"We're not building anymore coastline, so there's always value on the water."

<img alt="Chanine" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="98a968e1-568e-44cc-b141-32476bc91e2e" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202024-11-27%20at%2010.20.14%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=iRFhstOTIAPiff6GtQREYWsNuwu4JIby" />

Chanine has completed several developments across Sydney over the years, and is soon to launch a new project in Bellevue Hill, one of Sydney's most affluent suburbs.

The project is expected to hit the market in the first quarter of 2025.

Macquarie York is working toward an early 2025 launch of Cirrus, which also recently received approval from the Gold Coast City Council.

Cirrus is further south than the Chanine development, near the Palm Beach Surf Club and meeting the prestigous Jefferson Lane. It will comprise just 10 full-floor apartments and a two-level penthouse.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=22108 project_image_fid=312173]

Cirrus will also feature a level one recereation deck with a swimming pool and lounge area overlooking the ocean.

Macquarie York secured a height uplift for Cirrus, at 13 levels. Managing Director Roy Skaf highlighted the strong engagement from the Gold Coast City Council to get the project approved.

“I want to acknowledge the exceptional engagement from Gold Coast City Council Oﬃcers throughout the assessment process, and thank both the Planning &amp; Regulation Committee and Full Council for their overwhelming support of this landmark development," Skaf said.

"Their vision and support have been instrumental in bringing Cirrus to life.”

Macquarie York had Plus Architecture take the architectural lead for the development.

“Having experienced Plus Architecture’s design excellence capabilities on Nina Chevron Island and Sunset Residence in Surfers Paradise, we knew they could help us achieve something truly exceptional here," Skaf added.

"The result speaks for itself – Cirrus will be an iconic addition to Palm Beach’s skyline and sets new standards for sophisticated beachfront living on the Gold Coast.”

<img alt="Cirrus" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="24f97903-bc4d-4cae-9432-314759d35c6a" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202024-11-27%20at%2010.25.29%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=l4NNVnkqsAVVuyZ3954sY7YZrVIMrUx0" />

Plus Director Danny Juric said they approached the&nbsp;project as an opportunity to demonstrate how design excellence can transform a site into an architectural landmark.

"Our collaborative process with Council, often involving real-time design refinements sketched during meetings, helped us create a building that not only maximises resident amenity but makes a genuine contribution to Palm Beach’s urban fabric.”

“The building’s form is deliberately shaped to maximise setbacks and optimise views, while its street level interface creates a welcoming presence that strengthens Palm Beach’s emerging village heart.”

Palm Beach has been one of the most searched suburbs on <a href="Urban.com.au">Urban</a> since the pandemic hit in early 2020, and its popularity hasn't abated.&nbsp;

The problem has only been surrounding stock, rather than demand. Projects back in 2021 and 2022 flew off the shelves and quickly sold out, leaving buyers waiting for the next available development, which wasn't forthcoming as the market went through a cycle of developers buying sites and submitting applications.

Luke Reaby from site amalgamation specialists GV Property Group says record revenues in the off the plan sector have renewed developer confidence, especially in beachside areas, making luxury projects the most feasilbe to deliver

Not enough housing to meet demand.

That's the state of the market in the Gold Coast, where the lack of activity in the new development space is a growing concern for the coastal hotspot that is still seeing surging population growth following a boom during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Real Estate Institute of Australia spokesperson, Andrew Bell, said the unprecedented demand for properties on the Gold Coast is unlikely to ease.

“It is simply an equation of supply and demand,” Bell said.

“What has happened, particularly post-COVID, has been a significant transfer of wealth from other parts of Australia including <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developments/melbourne-vic?sort=">Melbourne</a> and <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developments/sydney-nsw?sort=">Sydney</a>.

“During the pandemic, there was an increase in divorces, downsizing and simply relocation. We are also seeing a lot of high-wealth people, with the capacity to pay higher prices, moving to Queensland. In <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developments/surfers-paradise-qld?sort=">Surfers Paradise</a> and <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developments/broadbeach-qld?sort=">Broadbeach</a>, 24 per cent of sales have been cash purchases.”

Bell said while this was a major positive for the state, and a “coming of age” for Queensland, this northward migration had resulted in a decline in affordability for many buyers and renters.

“We don’t have enough properties to meet the huge influx of residents, especially workers who will contribute to strong economic growth.”

There was only one new apartment development launched to the market in April on the Gold Coast, <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/la-belle-332-the-esplanade-palm-beach">La Belle Palm Beach</a> by Marquee.

Despite the lack of new supply in the market, there were several development applications submitted to the <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/gold-coast-qld">Gold Coast</a> City Council in April.&nbsp;

Of course, these projects won't be realised for several years, with the approval phase, marketing, and then the build generally making the lifespan of a new development between three to five years, depending on density and the speediness of the approval process.

We've wrapped up the top three apartment developments that went through council in April.

<h2>Address: 14 Chelsea Avenue, Broadbeach</h2>

Chanine, led by Marwan Chanine, has now lodged plans for a boutique eight-level building with 15 half-floor apartments and a massive five-bedroom penthouse.

Chanine said the vision&nbsp;is to bring the opulence of the Eastern Suburbs to Palm Beach, in both finishes and aesthetics."

"The team are consistently looking across the entire eastern seaboard, and we've always loved Queensland," Chanine said of their first project outside of New South Wales.

"We're not building anymore coastline, so there's always value on the water."

Chanine had been working on securing the site for over a year. They're building the apartments on the 824 sqm The Esplanade site which has a 20 metre frontage. They will landbank the site fronting the Gold Coast Highway if a future development opportunity arises.

There will be 16 apartments in the building which has been designed by CDArchitects. The 15 three-bedroom apartments will sit beneath a massive 354 sqm, five-bedroom penthouse with its own&nbsp;rooftop pool, barbecue kitchen and alfresco space.

CDArchitects said the&nbsp;architectural concept draws inspiration from the dynamic interplay of shifting sands and ocean waves.

"Emulating the sinuous movements found in nature, the design manifests in a curvilinear facade that echoes the undulating contours of both sand dunes and waves."

They said the&nbsp;apartments themselves offer a superior level of luxury, boasting spacious interiors and uninterrupted sightlines to the beach and coastline.

"Far from imitating past architectural feats, the proposed building aspires to establish itself as an iconic landmark along the coastline, setting a new standard for design innovation and coastal living."

There will be two basement levels with&nbsp;55 parking spaces and 18 bicycle spaces, as well as resident amenity on the ground floor in the form of a pool and spa.

GV Property Group's Luke Reaby&nbsp;says they're seeing an influx of developers coming back into the market following a slight lull in the market in 2023.

"Stock has dried up and record revenues are being achieved every week in the off the plan market," Reaby says, adding that the record revenue have assisted in beachside projects becoming more viable."

As for Palm Beach, where GV has sold seven sites in the last 18 months and their 17th in Palm Beach, Reaby says it's arguably one of the most demanded suburbs on the coast.

"Plenty of new development has and will continue to occur in and around Palm Beach which will result in a really vibrant neighbourhood."

Chanine has around $1 billion worth of development in the pipeline across New South Wales and now Queensland.

Their main focus in Sydney is a 4,595 sqm site they have in Bellevue Hill where, subject to council approval, they'll be launching 36 three and four-bedroom apartments later this year.

The apartments will be spread across a trio of buildings at 186-192 Old South Head Road, on the corner of Banksia Road near where Bellevue Hill meets Bondi Beach.

Inside the completed Rockdale apartment development The Wave

First home buyers have been snapping up apartments in The Wave, the newest address in Sydney's Rockdale.

The Wave at&nbsp;376 Princes Highway, Rockdale, around 15 kilometres south of Sydney, is being developed by the veteran property development firm Chanine Developments.

The eight-level, CD Architects-designed block of just 35 apartments has been a hit with first home buyers who took advantage of the HomeBuilder grant prior to the end of March, as well as the first home buyer stamp duty concessions.

There are now only around 10 apartments left.

Ziad&nbsp;Chanine, the managing director of CD Architects,&nbsp;said the location of The Wave,&nbsp;positioned at the entry gateway into Rockdale town centre, dictated its unique design.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=6207]

"We felt it fitting to design a building which would welcome you into the town centre upon approach as well as creating an identifying landmark in the region," Chanine said.

"We embarked on the creation of something not of the normal order of apartment development in the region and the feedback has been tremendous."

Chanine said inspiration came from iconic buildings like the North Bondi Surf Life Saving Club.

"The design employs a flowing, curvilinear form to create an attractive architectural built element whilst angling balconies to capture views and vistas of Botany Bay through to Sydney CBD skyline.

"The crackled tiles are an eye catching element along the wave-shaped balconies, reflecting the natural texture and landscape.

Most apartments left are priced under $800,000 which means first home buyers won't have to pay stamp duty for one or two bedroom apartments.

One bed apartments are priced from $595,000, two bedrooms from $690,000 and three bedrooms from $870,000.

Haus Agency director Alex Vrisakis said the development offers all the comforts buyers need in a first home, but is also attractive for the downsizer from a large family home.
