The Gold Coast’s beachfront is on track to become the most connected coastal strip in the country.

The existing light rail system, known locally as the G:LINK, currently runs from Helensvale in the north down to Broadbeach South.

Stage three of the G:LINK will soon extend the line further south to Burleigh Heads, while stage four is set to continue the route all the way to Coolangatta and the Gold Coast Airport—a level of beachfront connectivity that even Sydney’s Eastern Suburbs can’t match.

As a result, suburbs like Burleigh Heads, Palm Beach, and Bilinga are expected to become even more desirable than they already are, with improved public transport further boosting their appeal to both buyers and investors.

In this article, we’ve rounded up some of the most exciting new developments across the southern Gold Coast that will directly benefit from the upcoming G:LINK extensions.

The Southern Gold Coast is about to boom — here's why

The value growth in the unit market on the <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developments/gold-coast-qld">Gold Coast</a> is starting to slow a touch, after a bull run that has stretched over five years.

Unit values rose 0.3 per cent in March, according to CoreLogic's Home Value Index, to reach a new record-high median of $836,000.

While still growing in value, the gains are softer than the 0.6 per cent growth in February and 0.5 per cent in January.

The&nbsp;<a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developments/gold-coast-qld">Gold Coast</a>&nbsp;unit market has been one of the best-performing in the country over the last five years. From the start of 2020 to the end of 2024, the median value of a unit has jumped 78 per cent, from $465,000 to $832,000.

<h2>What happened in the Gold Coast’s off the plan apartment market in March?</h2>

The Gold Coast off the plan unit market saw an increase in buyer demand in March.

Enquiries rose by 13 percent in March compared to February. Excluding January's large spike in enquiries, the March figures were the highest they’ve been in the past 12 months.

Views of Gold Coast projects in Q1 2025 were the highest since Q2 2023, with Surfers Paradise, Main Beach, and Palm Beach capturing the lion's share of the views.

Ashwin Property Director Tony Ashwin has seen strong demand in the northern Gold Coast at Kelyin and Kinstone's latest waterfront release in their Serentiy 4212 masterplan in <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developments/helensvale-qld-4212">Helensvale</a>.

The new release,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-townhouses/serenity-lakeside-villas-helensvale-6-lake-serenity-boulevard-helensvale-qld-4212">Lakeside Serenity 4212</a> Waterfront Villas, comprises just&nbsp;16 absolute waterfront homes, each with direct water access and a private pontoon.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=149142 project_image_fid=324622]

The four-bedroom residences, featuring premium finishes and expansive lake views, have drawn significant interest from both local downsizers and Brisbane buyers seeking a coastal lifestyle with easy city access.&nbsp;

“The northern suburbs of the Gold Coast are in extremely high demand,” Ashwin says, highlighting that Helensvale is central to this growth.

“Helensvale is the only Gold Coast suburb with both heavy and light rail connections, offering residents easy access to Brisbane and the rest of the Gold Coast.”

Burly Residences reveals signature collection of opulent six-star beachfront single-level penthouses to the market for the first time

DD Living secure $140 million in sales at Burly Residences and penthouse renders released

The <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/gold-coast-qld">Gold Coast unit market</a> continues to post impressive month-on-month growth.

Another 1.6 per cent value gain in the unit market across October marked the sixth consecutive month of plus one per cent growth,&nbsp;CoreLogic's monthly Home Value Index found.

The median unit value on the <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/gold-coast-qld">Gold Coast</a> is now $717,000, up 3.9 per cent on the rolling quarter and 8.8 per cent over 2023.

Comparing it to the capital city markets, the median is just over $100,000 less than the <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/news/nsw/city-beat-october-2023-all-markets-transacting-in-the-sydney-off-the-plan-apartment-market">Sydney unit median</a> and over $100,000 more than the next most expensive capital, Melbourne.&nbsp;

Despite many suggesting the traditionally cyclical <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/gold-coast-qld">Gold Coast</a> market would come crashing down when people started heading back into the office and not have the ability to work remotely, the market has bucked opinion and has been one of the best performing markets in the whole country this year.

<h1>What's happening in the Gold Coast off the plan market?</h1>

The COVID-19 pandemic lit a fire under the <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/gold-coast-qld">Gold Coast property market</a>, particularly in the off the plan apartment space.

Those who bought anywhere between 2020 and 2021 are starting to see their projects complete.&nbsp;

Despite interest rates rising significantly over the last 18 months, the overwhelming majority of buyers are still settling and are just having to accept an interest rate repayment they never thought would be this high when they purchased. That's because for the last two to three years, prices have skyrocketed. Most buyers are getting their valuations coming back for their completed apartments at 30 per cent more than what they paid.

And what's more, prices haven't come down like the rest of the country. The <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/gold-coast-qld">Gold Coast </a>has proven to be one of the most resilient markets in Australia, and the tight supply v high demand has been the contributing factor.

An interesting insight is that southern demand has continued well into 2023. Initially the southern boom, whether it was for migration purposes or an investment, started when southeners wanted to escape both the cold and the rolling lockdowns for the beach, with the ability to work from anywhere in the country at an all time high.

Now that's over, the expectation was southern interest would taper. But that's not what local agents have found.

Pezet Matheson Director Todd Matheson says southeners are still making up a large portion of both enquiry and purchases.

"Those buyers from the southern states aren't just investors looking to take advantage of the Gold Coast's tight rental yields, they're buying off the plan as a future home," Matheson says.

Southern city dwellers, as well as downsizing locals and those from Brisbane who are looking ahead to retirement, have dominated the sale of the Signature Residences at <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/lagoon-main-beach-11-23-cronin-avenue-main-beach">Lagoon Main Beach</a>, the under construction <a href="/developments/main-beach-qld-4217">Main Beach apartment development</a> by Drew Group.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108747 project_image_fid=221589]

Pezet Matheson secured $43 million worth of sales in the last six weeks at <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/lagoon-main-beach-11-23-cronin-avenue-main-beach">Lagoon Main Beach</a>, the majority of whom were new buyers to the <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/gold-coast-qld">Gold Coast</a>.

"There's been a large cohort of buyers who have come in and transacted quickly in the last month and a half," Matheson says, adding that the status of the project, and the fact it's under construction by one of the biggest and best builders in the country in Hutchisons, goes a long way in the current market.

The $390 million project, on a 4,000 sqm plus site, an amalgamation not seen since the&nbsp;1980s,&nbsp;comprises two towers of 259 apartments on the sought-after Cronin Avenue.

The two towers are called Sunrise and Sunset, each taking in either views of the Pacific Ocean or the hinterland.

<a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/lagoon-main-beach-11-23-cronin-avenue-main-beach">Lagoon Main Beach</a> comes&nbsp;comes with a high-end range of amenities designed to compliment the coastal way of life. The name Lagoon stems from the lagoon-style pool oasis, with private cabanas and a heated spa, which sits between the two towers,. There's also indoor and outdoor lounges, a fitness centre, yoga deck, a business hub, storage for surfboards.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108747 project_image_fid=221590]

Total Property Group are also seeing significant demand from southeners at the luxury end of the market they market in. They're marketing Royale, Jewel and Escape, and have recently launched Burly Residences, the North Burleigh apartment development by David Devine's DD Living.

Total Property Group Managing Director Adrian Parsons says however that recently the most robust enquiry at the top end has come from the local <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/gold-coast-qld">Gold Coast</a> and Brisbane markets.

"At this point it’s probably the strongest demographic we see," Parsons says.

They've had a strong resposne to the launch of <a href="/new-apartments/burly-residences-north-burleigh-264-268-the-esplanade-burleigh-heads">Burly Residences</a>, the Koichi Takada-designed apartment development with interiors by Mim Design.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=134791 project_image_fid=223390]

"We knew the market response would be strong having sold out developments in Burleigh previously," Parsons said, adding however that North Burleigh is a little different when being compared to Burleigh Heads.

"It’s quieter and suits the owner-occupier or quiet holiday maker, footsteps from the ocean. Despite its more peaceful outlook, <a href="/new-apartments/burly-residences-north-burleigh-264-268-the-esplanade-burleigh-heads">Burly Residences</a> is also just a short stroll from the amenity at nearby Miami and Nobby Beach, presenting the best of both worlds."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=134791 project_image_fid=220106]

Parsons says buyers have been attracted to the "playground of six-star amenities", which have a real focus on R&amp;R.

Residents of <a href="/new-apartments/burly-residences-north-burleigh-264-268-the-esplanade-burleigh-heads">Burly Residences</a> will have access to two floors of resort amenities, including resort-style pools set amid tropical gardens, a pool deck, and a luxury beach club.

There's also wellness facilities in the form of a gym, yoga and Pilates lounge, Peloton room, steam room and a sauna.

City Beat October 2023: Southern boom continues in Gold Coast off the plan apartment market

David Devine's DD Living has unveiled the much-anticipated North Burleigh beachside apartment development, Burly Residences.

The 25-level premium development sprawls across a&nbsp;2024 sqm site across 264 and 266 Esplanade, offering never to be built out views of the sand and ocean.

The $480 million Burly Residences offers 100 luxury apartments and a suite of five-star resort amenities. There are a mix of two and three-bedroom apartments offering different views of North Burleigh headland or the beach. A handful of the apartments also have a multi-purpose room.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=134791 project_image_fid=220106]

DD Living had&nbsp;award-winning architect Koichi Takada of Koichi Takada Architects design the building, with Miriam Fanning, founding director of Mim Design, handling the interiors. The landscaping is by Thomas Schubel's LDG Landscape Architecture.

"Having the opportunity to bring such an iconic building to life in such a special part of the world makes me immensely proud,"&nbsp;David Devine said.

"That's why we've assembled a world-class team of architects, interior designers, landscape architects, and engineers to ensure that the finished product is the very best it can possibly be."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=134791 project_image_fid=220103]

Koichi Takada said he designed a building that mimics the natural rhythm of the tides.

"The billowing columns that support the building reference the barreling waves that make this place a surfing mecca," Takada said, emphasising the breathtaking views Burly Residences achieves.

"The higher you go, the more you become at one with your surroundings, where you will enjoy uninterrupted views of the hinterland and ocean beyond," Takada added.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=134791 project_image_fid=220104]

Miriam Fanning said Burly Residences will&nbsp;deliver an unparalleled standard of living and will benefit from a level of amenity unlike anything ever seen before in Australia," Fanning said.

"We've appointed every aspect to deliver ultimate tranquillity and ease of living. This design is a reflective response to the undulating oceans and sun-kissed sea."

Total Property Managing Director Adrian Parsons, who is managing the sales of the project, says Burly Residences is truly outstanding development.

“Burly provides a true essence of Gold Coast living,” Parsons says.

“Everything has been geared around the subtropical lifestyle which the Gold Coast is famous for, from wide balconies and sunny decks to extensive views up and down the coastline.”

Parsons says the “playground” of amenity on offer suits the owner-occupier, as well as the buyer who wants to spend a few weeks at a time at Burly Residences.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=134791 project_image_fid=223396]

Residents of Burly Residences will enjoy access to two floors of five-star resort amenities, including resort-style pools set amid tropical gardens, a pool deck, and a luxury beach club. There's also wellness facilities in the form of a gym, yoga and Pilates lounge, Peloton room, steam room and a sauna.

Completing the amenities is a cinema, work from home office spaces and an executive lounge with a bar.

Parsons says the location of Burly Residences also appeals to the owner-occupier.

"North Burleigh is a little different to Burleigh Heads," Parsons says.

"It's a quieter lifestyle, literally a few steps from the ocean, while also being a short walk to Burleigh Heads to the south and Miamia and Nobby's Beach to the north. It offers the best of both worlds."

Burly Residences is slated for completion in 2026.

DD Living reveal luxury Burly Residences development

Veteran Gold Coast apartment developer David Devine is making his Esplanade, Miami apartment development larger.

He's scrapped plans for the sold-out $105 million Alba Residences, on the border of Miami and Burleigh, after buying the site next door. Now he's planning for a $400 million apartment tower designed by the renowned architecture firm Koichi Takada.

There will be 100 apartments planned for the 24-level tower, now on a 2024 sqm site across 264 and 266 Esplanade.

The project will now be known as Burly, and will also feature improved&nbsp;amenities for residents on the lower levels.

<img alt="The Burly" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="e639f3ec-623a-48e6-87f2-44b8414ff818" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screen%20Shot%202022-10-05%20at%2010.04.14%20am.png?VersionId=qEKIApg3sj1LnuSmob9nHwLER6cR4uY5" />

In the statement submitted to the Gold Coast City Council, Takada noted that Burly&nbsp;is inspired by the waves crashing against the beach directly across the road.&nbsp;

"With a fluid silhouette and dynamic facade, the building is designed to read from the street as a series of staggered wavelike forms floating above a more solid, grounded base," the report read.&nbsp;

"The building is located on an amalgamated site with a wide 40 metre frontage, affording the opportunity to position the development with generous setbacks to the side boundaries and still provide residents with extensive, lush landscaped areas and well-proportioned residential spaces.

<img alt="The Burly tower" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="c753ec72-4117-4c44-ba4f-852633c1c811" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screen%20Shot%202022-10-05%20at%2010.04.19%20am.png?VersionId=zxwGVQgDuoTCDgxupSl4pUZPw1kFpFZc" />

"A series of operable screens spanning the length of the sides allow occupants to control privacy and shading, while creating a dynamic, layered facade.&nbsp;

Apartment layouts will also be oriented to maximise views and natural light from the living areas. Uniquely, the size of the site is such that it allows all apartments, including those at the rear, to capture the distant views from their living areas and balconies.&nbsp;

The plans for Burly doubles DD Living’s development portfolio on the Gold Coast to $800 million after the company kicked off construction of its $400 million Royale Gold Coast in Surfers Paradise in August.

There will be 100 apartments planned for the 24-level tower, now on a 2024 sqm site across 264 and 266 Esplanade.

David Devine lodges new North Burleigh apartment plans 

The 19-storey Miami beachfront tower sought by DD Living has been approved by Gold Coast council.

The $105-million beachfront apartment tower has been recently marketed as the Alba North Burleigh at the 264 The Esplanade site in anticipation of the approval.

The Bureau Proberts-designed project has apartments priced from $2.25 million through David Devine&#39;s DD Living.

The 30-unit apartment tower on The Esplanade had been scaled down from 22 storeys since its initial application in 2019.&nbsp;

The building height still sits above the suburb&rsquo;s level under the City Plan with its 17th storey aligning with the 53 metre code assessable building height.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=100278 project_image_fid=189549]

There were 255 objections from owners in the nearby Mariner Shores apartment complex, according to the Gold Coast Bulletin.

The slender tower with a typical 505sqm floor plan will &shy;replace the 1960s three-storey walk-up on the 1012sqm holding.

The council report said the proposal was 59.6m in height.&nbsp;

The development is located within the Urban neighbourhood which, under limited circumstances, allows for an increase in building height of up to 50 per cent (in this instance, 79.5m providing the relevant provisions are satisfied).

&quot;The proposed development is a well-designed building that complements the existing and emerging character of the area.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=100278 project_image_fid=189549]

&quot;The proposed built form of the development has been designed to achieve a well maintained interface to the adjacent properties.

&quot;The building has been treated with high quality materials to enhance the visual appearance of the building, along with a varying colour pallet.&nbsp;

&quot;Planters are incorporated within the building articulation at all levels of the development to provide visual interest and to soften the built form.&nbsp;

&quot;After a detailed assessment, it has been determined the proposed development is able to satisfy the provisions warranting an increase in building height of 6.6m above the mapped building height of 53m.&nbsp;

&quot;The cumulative consideration of built form setbacks, site cover, landscaping elements and architectural design confirm the developments ability to satisfy the additional height considered within the 50 per cent uplift provisions of the Urban neighbourhoods element.&quot; the report from council advised.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=100278 project_image_fid=189548]

The Melbourne developer Caydon Property Group plan to build a slender 18-storey apartment tower on an adjacent site

The apartment developer intends to have 51 apartments on its 1012sq m site at 266 The Esplanade at Miami, opposite North Burleigh Beach.

It is currently a 12-unit complex.

There are numerous mid-rise developments including Outrigger Resort in the precinct.

All councillors at the council meeting voted to accept the recommendation for approval by officers
