Unit values in the Gold Coast are continuing to grow in 2025.

The latest Home Value Index by Cotatlity (formerly CoreLogic), shows another month of growth in the local unit sector, with values rising 0.7 per cent in April.

Over the rolling quarter, unit prices have increased by 1.8 per cent, reaching a new median high of $849,000. Over the past 12 months, values have risen by 6.3 per cent, reflecting sustained demand and market confidence.

While many national property markets are now benefiting from a declining interest rate environment, the Gold Coast has remained relatively resilient throughout the high-rate cycle. The region’s strong performance has been underpinned by its lifestyle appeal, limited supply of new housing, and continued interstate migration—factors that have consistently supported price growth.

With further interest rate cuts expected, market fundamentals suggest the Gold Coast property market is well-positioned to continue its growth.

<h2 data-pm-slice="1 1 []">What happened in Gold Coast’s off the plan apartment market in April?</h2>

There was plenty of momentum in the Gold Coast’s off the plan apartment market in April, with a surge of new construction starts, tower releases, and planning applications up and down the coast.

Developers continued to target the high-end, owner-occupier market, as well as lifestyle-driven buyers seeking resort-style amenities and beachfront access.

One of the most high-profile launches of the month was <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/pescado-palm-beach-229-jefferson-lane-palm-beach-qld-4221">Pescado</a>, a boutique Palm Beach apartment development from international DJ Paul Fisher and his wife, Chloe.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=149651 project_image_fid=342045]

The $50 million project, designed by&nbsp;<a href="https://www.urban.com.au/architects/bda-architecture" target="">BDA</a> Architecture, will comprise just seven ultra-luxury residences, including a two-level penthouse that the Fishers plan to call home.

Featuring wave-like façades and organic interiors, Pescado is a deeply personal project for the couple and brings a fresh, creative energy to Jefferson Lane.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=149651 project_image_fid=342040]

Each three-bedroom, three-bathroom home will feature expansive open-plan layouts, high-end finishes, and seamless indoor-outdoor living.

Designed with an emphasis on wellness, functionality and meaningful social spaces, the residence features a resort-style pool, gym, cold plunge, BBQ, and dining areas, encouraging a balanced lifestyle.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=113271 project_image_fid=290031]

All apartments are designed with coastal tones and organic materials, while the broader precinct is targeting a 6-Star Green Star rating, with a strong focus on sustainability.

In addition to the surge in new releases for buyers, the future apartment pipeline on the Gold Coast continued to grow in April.

Melbourne-based developer&nbsp;<a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developers/hirsch-faigen" target="">Hirsch &amp; Faigen</a> filed plans for <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/marbella-broadbeach-7-9-surf-parade-broadbeach">Marbella</a> Broadbeach, a 31-level, $240 million apartment tower with 100 residences and extensive wellness offerings.

The project marks the H&amp;F's fourth Gold Coast venture, following the success of Hemingway at Palm Beach, Emerson at Kirra, and Yves at Mermaid Beach.

One of the busiest individuals in the development industry on the Gold Coast is John Kearney, who heads up construction company Greyburn and developer <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developers/immerse-projects" target="">Immerse Projects</a>.

In April, Immerse filed for a new 14-level building in the heart of Kirra. The proposed development at Haig Street includes 105 apartments, with a diverse mix of two and three-bedroom floorplans designed to attract both downsizers and part-time residents.

The podium level will house a full suite of amenities, including a lap pool, gym, spa, work-from-home spaces, and children’s play area, underscoring the project's intent to create a balanced, multi-generational living environment close to the beach.

City Beat April 2025: Off the plan activity jumps as Gold Coast units continue growth cycle

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 giant McNab is pushing on in both sales and construction at its new Gold Coast apartment development, Elements Budds Beach.

Over 60 per cent of the Azure Collection, the more premium two-bed plus MPR and three-bedroom apartments within the Oak Avenue building, have been snapped up by a mix of investors and owner occupiers.&nbsp;

The sales success comes off the back of McNab starting construction on site, demolishing the old three-level walk-up and old timber home on the amalgamated 1,013 sqm Oak Avenue and starting to excavate the four basement parking levels.

The building, of just 87 two, three and four-bedroom apartments that start from just over $1 million, has been crafted by<a href="https://www.urban.com.au/architects/cottee-parker-architects"> Cottee Parker</a> who says the design "pays homage to the sea and sky and responds to its unique midwater location with distinct simplicity and openness, bringing the waterways to its inhabitants."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=111522 project_image_fid=322242]

Set behind a curved, glazed façade, Elements apartments will feature open plan kitchen, living and dining areas that will extend to balconies with views across the Gold Coast skyline, hinterland, and beach.

As the building ascends, the apartments get more premium, and give way from the two-bed and two-bed plus multi-purpose rooms to half-floor three-bedroom apartments, as well as the soon-to-be-released Horizon Collection.

As demand for spacious, high-end apartments continues, McNab is preparing to launch the Horizon Collection, just a handful of four-bedroom apartments each with a multi-purpose room, panoramic views, a master retreat with a walk-in wardrobe and ensuite, and a built-in bar area with a custom stone finish.

&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=111522 project_image_fid=322246]

The original plans back in 2021 had the communal facilities located within the building, but, in a trend seen across the majority of Gold Coast projects in the last few years, McNab more recently had Cottee Parker relocate them to the roof.

Now a full rooftop retreat, it will feature an infinity-edge pool with beach club-style loungers that actually sit in the water, several day beds surrounding the pool, and a sauna, hot plunge pool, and a yoga deck.

There will also be a poolside barbecue and teppanyaki area, as well as a private formal dining room and a gym.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=111522 project_image_fid=322250]

Elements will sit in a quiet pocket of Surfers, only a six-minute walk to Budds Beach and eight minutes to Surfers Paradise Beach.

It could be argued that viewlines, especially from the upper levels, are unlikely to ever be obstructed. This is due to the scale of the Paradise Resort Gold Coast hotel across the street, which is unlikely to be redeveloped anytime soon.

McNab is forecasting a completion date of around Q3 2027.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=111522 project_image_fid=322251]

<a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developers/mcnab-developments">McNab</a> as a builder has a diverse workbook across the whole of South East Queensland, from warehouse and office buildings to social housing projects.

As a developer, McNab recently completed White in Main Beach, selling all of the apartments prior to completion. The project won the 2024 Master Builders QLD Housing &amp; Construction Award, as well as Queensland’s Best Project in the $50m+ multi-residential category.

McNab also has several development sites in Brisbane, in West End and Highgate Hill, as well as<a href="https://www.urban.com.au/news/qld/first-look-exclusive-mcnab-shoots-for-full-floor-apartments-in-broadbeach"> plans for a future Broadbeach project</a>.

<a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developers/mcnab-developments">McNab</a> as a builder has a diverse workbook across the whole of South East Queensland, from warehouse and office buildings to social housing projects.

As a developer, McNab recently completed White in Main Beach, selling all of the apartments prior to completion. The project won the 2024 Master Builders QLD Housing &amp; Construction Award, as well as Queensland’s Best Project in the $50m+ multi-residential category.

McNab also has several development sites in Brisbane, in West End and Highgate Hill, as well as&nbsp;<a href="https://www.urban.com.au/news/qld/first-look-exclusive-mcnab-shoots-for-full-floor-apartments-in-broadbeach">plans for a future Broadbeach project</a>.

Builder-developer McNab is heading to Broadbeach.

<a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developers/mcnab-developments">McNab</a>, who recently completed White Main Beach and is to soon start construction of its Budds Beach apartment development Elements, has filed plans for a luxury 26-level project at 4 George Avenue, <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developments/broadbeach-qld-4218">Broadbeach</a>.

Across the 26-levels will be just 20 full-floor apartments with 217 sqm of internal living space and a further 50 sqm of balcony.

Each apartment will have four bedrooms, a multi-purpose room, and an open plan kitchen living and dining area that opens to the balcony with ocean views to the east.

The resident amenity has been positioned on the podium level where there will be a pool, gym, and dining area with barbecues.

Architecture firm bureau^proberts handled the designs. They said in the planning documents submitted to the Gold Coast City Council this week that George Avenue "embraces the evolving urban landscape of Broadbeach, setting a benchmark in residential architecture that equally prioritizes both individual living experiences and community engagement."

"The tower is shaped by its prime beachside location, taking full advantage of generous northern aspects and uninterrupted north-eastern view corridors," their design statement read.

"Its architectural expression draws inspiration from the fluidity of coastal landscapes—echoing moving tides, and organic shoreline forms.&nbsp;The design balances privacy with openness, ensuring interior spaces connect seamlessly with the natural surroundings."

The 607 sqm block at 4 George Avenue sits immediately to the east of Raptis' <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/the-sterling-broadbeach-6-8-george-avenue-broadbeach">The Sterling Broadbeach</a>, currently under construction.

Broadbeach has been a hive of activity recently.

Earlier this week, the Abedian family's Abedian &amp; Co submitted plans this week for their prime site on Mary Avenue. They're planning a 47-level tower with 115 apartments.

Another high-profile Gold Coast developer will lodge plans for its next Broadbeach apartment development next week.

First look exclusive: McNab shoots for full-floor apartments in Broadbeach

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>.

First look: McNab file for Montague Street, West End apartment development

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;

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.”

The Sunshine Coast&nbsp;developer Cube Developments has lodged plans for a $30 million residential community in Peregian Springs, which will be one of the last opportunities for freehold land in the coveted region.

The community, dubbed Lumeah, will see just 33 land lots released, ranging from 500s qm to 800 sqm.

The 2.79 hectare&nbsp;site on Pavilion Drive was originally pinned for 51 townhouses but instead, Cube is seeking to offer 33 exclusive land parcels.

The project, which has been lodged as a joint venture with Queensland builder McNab, will benefit from its position of being a short walk from the Peregian Springs Shopping Centre, beach and Surf Lifesaving Club and Peregian Beach Village, as well as being close by to well-regarded private and state schools.

Director of Cube Developments Scott Juniper said Lumeah has been designed to fit in with the existing style and feel of the surrounding streetscapes, with plenty of landscaping to its verges.

<a href="/developments/peregian-springs-qld-4573"><img alt="" height="822" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/screen_shot_2022-02-24_at_4.35.33_pm.png" width="1288" /></a>

&ldquo;The site itself is just spectacular, it&rsquo;s nestled within the leafy and well-established community of Peregian Springs and is a stone&rsquo;s throw from some of the best beaches the Sunshine Coast has to offer,&rdquo; Juniper said.

&ldquo;Majority of blocks back onto scenic outlooks and provide unbelievable ocean views.&rdquo;

&ldquo;We made the call alongside McNab to reduce the density from the existing DA approval for 51 townhouses, as we feel as though 33 lots is more aligned with the surrounding residents and will give this estate a truly prized and intimate feel.&rdquo;

Peregian Springs is a small oceanside community just south of Noosa that boasts wide open greenspace, oceans and wildlife conservation sites.

Once approved, it will offer one of the last opportunities for freehold land in the coveted Peregian Springs region.

Businesswoman Katie Page’s Gold Coast boutique beachfront development at Main Beach, M3565 has secured its biggest sale to date.

A NSW buyer has spent $5.75 million on their 315 sqm fifth floor apartment.

The sale is the third in 2020, with two lower-floor apartments selling at $4.4 million and $4.75 million.

Robert Graham, of Ray White Prestige, advised there was just the one remaining apartment available in the complex where the Harvey's retain a bolthole given ongoing Magic Millions commitments.

<img alt="" height="1315" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/m3565_1.jpg" width="2000">

During its marketing Graham suggested M3565 had knocked Jade, previously the Gold Coast’s premier apartment block, from its mantle.

Like everything she turns her mind to, M3565 proved to be a cut above anything else seen on the Gold Coast.

Part of that stems from the fact that Katie Page and her husband, Gerry Harvey, are long time Main Beach devotees, so she knew the likely buyer needs.

There are seven apartments in the boutique Virginia Kerridge-designed building at 3565 Main Beach Parade.

<img alt="" height="1505" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/m3565_2.jpg" width="2000">

The typical whole floor apartments come with four bedrooms and four bathrooms.

Excluding the two level penthouse, the apartments were initially priced between $5 million and $7 million.

The remaining sixth floor apartment will be marketed at more than $6 million.

The previously highest sale was $5.5 million for the fourth floor apartment in 2018 which ranked as the highest price paid for a beachfront apartment in the Gold Coast that year.

Page bought the 882 sqm site for $15.5 million in 2007 and when they formally hit the market in 2017, Page announced she was keeping the two level penthouse.

<h2>Developments Nearby</h2>

<h2>White, Main Beach</h2>

Address - 24-26 Woodroffe Avenue, Main Beach

Less than 300 metres from the beach and offering a more affordable luxury apartment is White.

The McNab developed, WMK Architecture-designed tower is offering 325 sqm full floor apartments. Each apartment has three bedrooms, three and a half bathrooms, two living areas and a verandah.

Prices start at $2.2 million for the apartments which all feature a lift to lounge elevators and two side by side car parking spaces.
