The builder-developer model isn't new.

Some of Queensland's best developers have been vertically integrated builder-developer for decades.

The challenging construction environment on the Gold Coast, characterized by a substantial increase in apartment projects since COVID-19, along with limited labor resources and rising costs for materials and labor, has led some developers to adjust their strategies to incorporate construction as part of their core service.

The likes of <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developers/morris-property-group">Morris Property Group</a>&nbsp;and <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developers/mosaic-property-group">Mosaic Property Group</a> have had their own building arm for years. They've created the blueprint that a lot of developers on the Gold Coast are looking toward.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112024 project_image_fid=286004]

<a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developers/siera-property-group">Siera Group</a>, who made the move from Brisbane to the Gold Coast a few years ago, has for a long time had construction in-house when building luxury townhouse developments across Brisbane's inner ring. They've now decided to do the same at <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/tapestry-chevron-island-39-darrambal-street-chevron-island">Tapestry on Chevron Island</a>.

<a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developers/marquee-development-partners">Marquee</a> Development Partners have brought construction in-house for <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/la-belle-palm-beach-332-the-esplanade-palm-beach">La Bella Palm Beach</a>, as have <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developers/iris-capital">Iris Capital</a> for its $1 billion Broadbeach development <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/victoria-albert-broadbeach-20-albert-avenue-broadbeach">Victoria &amp; Albert</a> and Steer Developments for its <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/c-te-palm-beach-3-thirteenth-avenue-palm-beach">COTE Palm Beach</a> project.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108641 project_image_fid=192961]

Antonio Mercuri, who heads up site amalgamation specialists GV Property Group, says a key point the team look for&nbsp;when selling a site is if the buyer (developer) has a genuine track record of finishing their projects.

“If you see a high or midrise under construction on the Gold Coast at the moment, chances are, they’re a builder-developer,” Mercuri says.

“It's been a trend in the past couple of years, and very much so in the past 12 months.

“There are so many builders collapsing in Queensland at the moment under that rising cost of construction, and that’s leaving limited competition in the market.&nbsp;It’s forcing a change and as a result, many developers have started building themselves. They’re the ones delivering on these projects - it’s no coincidence."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=102340 project_image_fid=273593]

Mercuri says if someone is looking to buy off the plan, they should do&nbsp;their homework and check if they’re either a builder developer, or in the least, have a builder who they’ve worked alongside in the past.

&nbsp;

“It’s devastating for a buyer who’s handed over a hard earned deposit, only to be told their apartment simply isn't being built.

“Ideally, the project goes up and their unit appreciates in value but that’s not always the case.”

The growing trend of the builder-developer, and why it impacts the Gold Coast off the plan apartment market more than most

The development industry on the Gold Coast seems to be coming out of the other side of the construction that plagued the industry for the last several years.

Many developers have had to react in a way they had never been able to predict four years ago. The likes of <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developers/iris-capital">Iris Capital</a>, <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developers/siera-property-group">Siera Property Group</a> and <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developers/andrews-projects">Andrews Projects</a> have brought construction inhouse, mitigating the risk of appointing an external builder.

One developer caught up in the problematic build environment was <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developers/steer-developments">Steer Developments</a>, who had been full throttle on <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/c-te-palm-beach-3-thirteenth-avenue-palm-beach">Côte Palm Beach</a>, a luxury development of 17 apartments a short walk from the sand, before the collapse of GCB Constructions.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112548 project_image_fid=205277]

Following a difficult period of 12 months trying to secure a builder and manage the expectations of those who had already purchased in the luxury building, Steer Developments Director Rob Steer decided to take matters into his own hands becoming the head contractor.

He teamed up with several building industry experts to create SunBuilt, a new construction company that will deliver the $55 million luxury development. SunBuilt will act as Steer Developments inhouse construction arm,&nbsp;eliminating the tedious search for a reliable builder.

SunBuilt founding partner Damien Todd told Urban that SunBuilt was founded out of a pressing need for transparency and reliability in the construction industry on the Gold Coast.

"In a market where managing the construction process can be challenging, SunBuilt emphasises its experience throughout the whole development lifecycle. Professionalism, collaboration, quality and transparency is at our core," Todd said.

“Our approach provides greater certainty that projects are completed on time, within budget, and to the highest standards."

Rob Steer said it is a huge bonus to have an inhouse builder to guarantee the purchasers the quality of finishes that are expected in a high-end, boutique development such as Côte Palm Beach.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112548 project_image_fid=205286]

"With only 17 apartments, each residence is designed with the utmost attention to detail, creating an intimate living environment that larger developments simply cannot match," Steer said.

"Each home features exquisite interiors with high-end finishes, bespoke cabinetry, and state-of-the-art appliances. The open-plan living areas are designed to maximise space and light, creating a seamless flow from indoor to outdoor living.

"Expansive balconies provide superb alfresco settings for everyday living or entertaining, offering breathtaking views and a perfect spot to enjoy the coastal breeze."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112548 project_image_fid=205278]

Steer had sold half of the apartments in Côte, on an 810 sqm site located at 3 Thirteenth Avenue, before construction paused.&nbsp;

The buyers, most from the start of 2023, have stuck with Steer and the team, resembling the demand for a sure product.

"The buyers understood the build environment and knew the quality of what we were putting forward. While it's taken a little longer to realise given the collapse of the previous builder we're now excited to announce basement works are well underway and delivering on our promise for our buyer."

Demolition of the old 1960s ‘Surfside Motel’ on the prime site is complete, and now SunBuilt is starting to work on the basement levels of the nine-level building that features with a striking sculpted facade by designed by DKO as well as luxury modern interiors by Plus Architecture.

Each apartment at Côte has three bedrooms, a multi-purpose room, three-and-a-half bathrooms, and two secure underground car spaces.

"SunBuilt was founded out of a pressing need for transparency and reliability in the construction industry on the Gold Coast," Steer told Urban

Exclusive: Steer Developments bring construction inhouse as Sunbuilt revive Cote Palm Beach apartments

So much has been said about the Gold Coast apartment market ever since the start of the pandemic.

There was a COVID-induced spike as demand skyrocketed, part-driven by southern stage dwellers speeding up their retirement plans, and part professionals who realised they could still do their job and work from anywhere in the country.

The well-coined phrase, "what goes up, must come down", was banded around the Gold Coast market in particular.

While that has to happen to an extent, the Gold Coast unit market has held up as well as any other market in the country.

The June Home Value Index by property data analytics firm CoreLogic showed just a -3.1 per cent decline in unit values in the 12 months to June, helped by a 1.5 per cent rise in unit values across May.

It was another month where unit value growth outstripped houses. Houses grew by 0.9 per cent, and are -8.7 per cent down from this time last year.

The median unit value on the Gold Coast is now $664,000, compared to $987,000 for houses.

<h2>What's happening in the Gold Coast off the plan market?</h2>

Feedback from agents has been strong, given the tight supply and continue demand

Enquiry isn't necessarily growing, but quality of enquiry has improved dramatically over the last few months

Siera Group Founder and Managing Director Brent Thompson says the Gold Coast is continuing to show its market strength and appeal to the owner-occupier/ lifestyle purchasers, with the demand for high-quality, newly built residential dwellings being at the forefront of demand.

Siera is currently developing Tapestry, where&nbsp;almost 70 per cent of their current purchasers are owner-occupier couples with the intent of downsizing their family homes in preparation for their early retirement planning.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108641 project_image_fid=193359]

"Since the Easter holidays, we have experienced a large number of enquiries and sales from this demographic both local and outer state, with an influx of these leads continuing to come in with pre-construction preparation now underway on the site," Thompson says.

There's also another type of buyer that Thompson has seen recently.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108641 project_image_fid=192961]

"Quite commonly, we are also seeing a large majority of our investors state their intention of re-purposing the property as their future home in the next five to 10 years.

"A recent example of this was seen with our client and Nine News Weather Presenter, Garry Youngberry, who will initially purpose the property as an investment, before occupying it himself and living out his long-term plan of settling down on the Gold Coast and enjoying all that the South-East Queensland climate has to offer. "

Despite a slowdown in interstate buying activity from when COVID first started to lock down states in early 2020,&nbsp;S&amp;S Projects Managing Director Paul Gedoun says he's still receiving significant enquiry from interstate buyers who are flocking to the Southern Gold Coast,&nbsp;enticed by its idyllic beachside lifestyle and abundant amenities.

"The allure of the Southern Gold Coast's pristine beaches, vibrant atmosphere, and recreational opportunities has captivated the attention of buyers," Gedoun says.

"This end of the coast has been able to maintain the true beach and surf culture that the Gold Coast was famous for and is drawing people from far and wide.

"We certainly witnessed that when we brought Flow, Awaken and Esprit to the market and have had the confidence to continue to acquire sites here.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=102921 project_image_fid=172129]

Steer Developments Founder and Managing Director Rob Steer says there's still a level of cautious optimism in buyers.

“Off the plan buyers want confidence," Steer, who is developing the high-end Palm Beach development, Cote, said.

"They are not going to commit to a 10 per cent deposit if they do not know the project is coming out of the ground.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112548 project_image_fid=205277]

"This is reflective of finished stock on the market. Good quality stock is still selling.

"Having a stable builder with a reputation that things are going to happen help the buyers confidence.&nbsp;There is a lot of money out there, but people are uncertain and hence being conservative."

City Beat June 2023: Gold Coast apartments defy downturn, rebound sharply

The need for new short-term accomodation in the Southern Gold Coast is set to be filled somewhat by the new Palm Beach Hotel, which has just been given the green light by the Gold Coast City Council.

The $120 million project at 1081-1089 Gold Coast Highway will see 126 hotel rooms spread across six levels, with state-of-the-art amenities, including a rooftop pool, gym, spa, and in-house dining.

Award-winning firm Plus Architecture has been engaged to deliver the master-planned hotel.

“Being such a significant project, our team took a considered approach to create a standout development in an increasingly discerning market,” Plus Architecture Principal Danny Juric said.

Rob Steer's Steer Developments is one of the joint venture partners in the project. Steer says they wanted&nbsp;to create a space that makes our guests feel something special.

"It’s about the entire experience," Steer says.

"A perfect blend of beauty, luxury, and premium quality with a calm, lush, and peaceful serenity.

“We have always appreciated the Gold Coast’s lifestyle and are excited to contribute to its beauty and make an everlasting impact on the southern Gold Coast.

“While the northern end of the Gold Coast is flooded with hotels, the southern end is ripe for a luxury offering. Along with Mondrian set to open in Burleigh, the timing is perfect for an additional prestige hotel at Palm Beach.”

Palm Beach Hotel will be delivered in one stage, with construction set to commence in Q4 2023 and completion estimated for Q1 2025.

Steer is fully committed to Palm Beach. He has a solo project, COTE Palm Beach, a collection of just 17 half-floor apartments nearby.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112548 project_image_fid=205283]

Cote is located on a prime 810 sqm site at 3 Thirteenth Ave, bounded to the east by Jefferson Lane and just 20 metres from the beach.

“Côte presents an exceptional opportunity for buyers to secure a masterfully designed residence in one of the best beachside locations at Palm Beach,” said Steer.

“We have ensured that Côte sensitively responds to the local context while delivering the absolute best of a luxe lifestyle that is just steps away from the beautiful beachfront, the Palm Beach village precinct and some of the southern Gold Coast’s best cafés, restaurants, bars and boutique retail.”

Demolition has begun on site, and construction is expected to commence in the coming months.

Palm Beach apartment supply has dramatically improved since the early stages of COVID, when projects sold out in double quick time.

Palm Beach Hotel approved as Palm Beach development pipeline soars

The Rob Steer-led luxury property group, Steer Developments, is capitalising on the sustained demand for premium beachside residences with the launch of its latest Gold Coast project, Côte, Palm Beach.&nbsp;

The $51 million project experienced a highly anticipated launch which has now led to the group fast-tracking the development, announcing the appointment of local builders GCB Constructions to make a start on the project within a matter of weeks. &nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112548 project_image_fid=205276]

Located on a prime 810 sqm site at 3 Thirteenth Ave, bounded to the east by Jefferson Lane and just 20 metres from the beach, Côte will deliver a collection of just 17 residences across nine levels.

“Côte presents an exceptional opportunity for buyers to secure a masterfully designed residence in one of the best beachside locations at Palm Beach,” said Steer.

“We have ensured that Côte sensitively responds to the local context while delivering the absolute best of a luxe lifestyle that is just steps away from the beautiful beachfront, the Palm Beach village precinct and some of the southern Gold Coast’s best cafés, restaurants, bars and boutique retail.”

The company’s latest luxe development brings Steer’s combined project portfolio on the Gold Coast close to $350 million, which includes plans to transform the famous Ashmore Steak and Seafood site into the $60 million Ashmore Markets high-end retail precinct.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112548 project_image_fid=205277]

Designed in collaboration with DKO Architecture and Plus Architecture, Côte has been crafted to foster a life of coastal luxury and unrivalled convenience, taking advantage of the site’s natural beauty and prime location in the heart of Palm Beach.

Each of the 17 apartments will feature three bedrooms, a multi-purpose room and three-and-a-half bathrooms, with accommodation for two cars in a secure underground carpark.

CBRE Gold Coast, which has undertaken some of the Gold Coast’s key marketing campaigns, has been appointed to market Côte Palm Beach, with the group’s Director of Residential Projects, Nick Clydsdale saying it’s Côte’s design and location driving the interest in the project.&nbsp;

“Côte taps into an ever-growing buyer pool of well-heeled owner occupiers who respond to impeccable design and location and demand certainty of delivery,” said Clydsdale.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112548 project_image_fid=205278]

The building’s sculpted façade, featuring a timeless sophistication and a visually dynamic form, captures the essence of coastal refinement, while the interiors curve in and out of form, with the distinctive recesses creating a shell-like pattern.

Priced from $2.39 million, the luxury residences at Côte will offer generously-sized living spaces, high-quality appointments and lush outdoor spaces that take in the expansive ocean views

Côte’s floor-to-ceiling glazing throughout is designed to foster ample natural light and scenic coastal views, while cascading greenery will soften the linear form. Expansive balconies in each apartment also create superb alfresco settings for everyday living or entertaining.

“Côte Palm Beach will appeal to a broad range of buyers from professionals, holiday investors and downsizers, as well as Palm Beach locals who have already responded so well to this project,” Steer said.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112548 project_image_fid=205280]

Côte’s two-per-floor apartments will deliver spacious open-plan living with superior finishes and luxury inclusions such as stone benchtops and premium oak flooring.&nbsp;

Among the inclusions are high-end Miele and Gaggenau appliances in the kitchen and laundry, plus a wine fridge and barbecue station on the balcony.

The master bedroom features generously sized walk-in robes and ensuites, boasting large freestanding circular baths paired with the rounded edge walls that feature throughout.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112548 project_image_fid=205286]

Residents will also enjoy premium resort-style facilities including a residents-only pool with a lounge area, communal dining and barbecue facilities, beach showers and a start-of-the-art gym studio overlooking the pool area.

The development is scheduled for completion in March 2024.

Steer Developments fast-tracks construction of $51 million Côte Palm Beach after launch

Palm Beach is set for a new luxury high-rise apartment development.

STEER&nbsp;will deliver C&Ocirc;TE Palm Beach, a $45&nbsp;million high-rise project at 3 Thirteenth Ave, on the corner of&nbsp;Thirteenth Ave and the dress circle Jefferson Lane. It will see&nbsp;17 half-floor apartments built, each with&nbsp;three&nbsp;bed, three bathrooms, and two parking spaces.

Steer Founder Rob Steer&nbsp;says despite the rising construction&nbsp;prices, there remains a strong local demand. He is committed to delivering the project with a strong local builder.

DKO studio director Kai Chua says the design of each apartment, balances the need for\ shelter and privacy whilst opening to the ocean and magnificent views. It offers all the wonders of modern coastal living with the warm, intimate embrace of home.

The local population in Palm Beach is forecast to grow considerably over the next 10 years, and Steer says that, with height limit laws soon to be introduced, there will be even tighter availability of this type of stock in the coming years.

&quot;We see a unique opportunity to cater for the market&quot;, Steer said.

<img alt="" height="1078" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/screen_shot_2022-06-30_at_11.41.24_am.png" width="1502" />

With due diligence completed on the site, Steer is expecting sales and marketing to begin in July, with construction set to follow shortly after in September.

Jefferson Lane is the most sought-after beachfront strip in Palm Beach. Down the street&nbsp;a 247 sqm, three-bed apartment in 77 Jefferson&nbsp;recently sold for $3.95 million.

Further along the sand&nbsp;at 39-41 Jefferson Lane,&nbsp;Seven Group media heir Ryan Stokes has apartment development plans currently with council.

Dubbed Akuna, a word derives from the Aboriginal word meaning &ldquo;flowing&nbsp;water,&quot; the project will span&nbsp;nine levels and&nbsp;comprise nine three-bedroom apartments and four four-bedroom apartments.

A two-level penthouse&nbsp;at 15 Jefferson Lane sold last year for $7.5 million, which was even more than the suburb&#39;s former $6.9 million record house price sale. That now stands at $8,275,000, a sale achieved earlier this year.

Steer has a mixed bag of projects currently in the pipeline, working on a few residential developments in the southern Gold Coast, a joint venture with Churchill Group for the $50 million redevelopment of the Ashmore Seafood and Steakhouse which will become the Ashmore Markets shopping centre, and his most recent, a joint venture of a new striking hotel in Palm Beach.

Steer Founder Rob Steer says despite the rising construction prices, there remains a strong local demand



First look: STEER to deliver $45 million Palm Beach boutique apartment development

Palm Beach, one of the hottest apartment markets across the whole of the country, is set for something a little different.

Kingbella Group, led by Joel and Laura Percey, alongside STEER Developments, founded by Rob Steer, are set to launch a boutique collection of four villas, a stone&#39;s throw from the beach.

The luxury villas at 192 Cypress Terrace have been designed by C2 Architecture with the Mediterranean lifestyle and palette at its heart.

&quot;Callista came from bouncing around ideas on a mood board, trying to produce a townhouse with a feel as if you&#39;re on holiday in Europe&quot;, Laura Percey says.

Percey says they are trying to take the next step of luxury in the suburb, with the three-level homes rich in artisan detail and featuring an entertainer-style kitchen with oversized stone island bench and Miele appliances throughout.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=109032 project_image_fid=180867]

Each townhouse will have four bedrooms and three bathrooms across the three levels.

&quot;Palm Beach has really transformed, from cute shacks and beach houses to a next level of luxury that everyone locally, as well as interstate, now wants to buy in to.

&quot;There&#39;s new blood in the area, and with that comes the more modern beach house. We want to deliver beach houses that will remain for years to come.&quot;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=109032 project_image_fid=180873]

\There has been an intentional effort in the design so the villas would suit a number of different buyers.

&quot;We could see the owner-occupier professional enquire, with the use of the downstairs bedroom as a home office, or the downsizer in their 50&#39;s using the functional space&quot;, Percey said, adding that young families would be attracted to the four bedrooms, and fly-in, fly-out buyers from the eastern seaboard capital cities would show interest given the heightened level of lock-up-and-leave luxury on offer.

STEER founder, Rob Steer said with interstate migration on the rise, there&#39;s plenty of purchasers are prepared to pay for high end stock.

&ldquo;Gold Coast has emerged as one of the best performing real estate markets over the past year, recording double digit price growth for both houses and units,&quot; Steer said.

&quot;We&#39;re seeing an awful lot of movement from interstate, whether it&#39;s for holiday home purposes or those keen on spending more than half of the year on the Gold Coast.&quot;

With double digit growth seen in Q1 2020 to Q1 2021, Steer says the developer duo are actively looking for new acquisition opportunities in both residential and commercial sites.

CBRE are handling the marketing of Callista, with prices starting from $1.75 million.

Kingbella and Steer are set to crate another small collection of luxury townhouses in Tugun, and have also just lodged plans, along with the Brisbane-based Capdev, for over 90 apartments in the in demand Rainbow Bay area.

Callista, the most luxurious villas to hit Palm Beach, set for launch

Buyers are set to get another opportunity to secure an apartment in the tightly held, and incredibly highly sought-after, Rainbow Bay.

Kingbella Group, led by Joel and Laura Percey, and&nbsp;Steer Developments, ran by Robert Steer, are teaming up again for the project, having been working in partnership for a number of years.

They&#39;ve also got&nbsp;Oliver Bagheri, Jon Quayle at Chapter Two on board for Eden Ave, proposing&nbsp;a 12-level development on the dress circle Eden Avenue, which will home 91 apartments and three townhouses.

Plus A​rchitecture​ has drawn up the plans for the Eden Avenue development, describing the tower as &quot;beachside luxe living&quot;.

It will sit across four amalgamated lots totalling 1,924 sqm between 44 and 50 Eden Avenue.

There will be 70 two-bedroom apartments, varying in sizes and aspects,&nbsp;with each having either a&nbsp;multi-purpose room or study.&nbsp;

The 24 three-bedroom apartments are located on levels nine and up.&nbsp;A unique feature of the design are the proposed two-storey &ldquo;beach houses&rsquo; that fringe the building on the ground plane.&nbsp;

The residences boast their own private street access and provide owners with all the creature comforts of a modern day beach house but with the benefit of access to resort style facilities.

The development will be&nbsp;crowned by a rooftop amenity level featuring an infinity edge pool, sun beds, adjoining spa, a wet deck, garden day beds and barbecue booths.

An emphasis on health and wellness is apparent with a gym, sauna and steam room proposed, as well as a rare inclusion for apartment projects, an open air ice bath.

The team discussed the popular working from home trend and believe that many new apartment buildings don&rsquo;t provide the necessary space and amenity for residents.&nbsp;

In doing so, the developer revealed their plan to deliver a designated professional work space on the rooftop with six private work from home offices, or &ldquo;zoom rooms&rdquo; as many are now calling them, as well as a function room and boardroom with private outdoor dining space.

The development is expected to launch around Easter 2022.

There&#39;s expected to be huge interest given the location, which has seen unprecedented demand in the last 12 months.

Miles Residences kicked off the boom back in Christmas last year, when the first stage of the wider $380 million KTQ Group redevelopment of the Kirra Beach Hotel, secured a sell-out after thousands of enquiries flooded in from all over the country.

Rockpool at Rainbow Bay, the luxury apartment project of the architect-turned developer Joe Adsett, sold out before even launching. That&#39;s located just in front of Eden Ave.

There&#39;s the nearly sold-out Esprit, by S&amp;S Projects on Boundary Street, with its own luxury wellness rooftop.&nbsp;

Currently selling are the luxury developments The Emerson, by developer&nbsp;Hirsch &amp; Faigen, which has just 22 apartments, and SUR Kirra Beach, from the local Cru Collective, which has just 10 apartments, starting from $4 million.

Plus A​rchitecture​ has drawn up the plans for the Eden Avenue development, describing the tower as "beachside luxe living".
