Retreat Palm Beach - 1177 Jefferson Lane, Palm Beach QLD 4221

<p>In Australia, capital city markets typically quieten down over winter as developers, agents, and prospective buyers gear up for the spring and summer selling seasons.</p>

<p>That's not the case in the Gold Coast however. In fact, it's the complete opposite.</p>

<p>Especially since the pandemic, the Gold Coast garners national attention during the colder months, more so than the entire year, except perhaps for the Christmas holiday season in December and January.</p>

<p>Developers are acutely aware of the limited apartment supply on the Gold Coast and are poised to bring apartments to market as soon as they can.</p>

<p>We've compiled a list of the top apartment developments to watch for in the second half of 2024</p>

<h2>Who: Siera Group</h2>

<h2>Where:&nbsp;8 Enderley Avenue, Surfers Paradise QLD 4217</h2>

<h2>What: 54 two and three-bedroom apartments</h2>

<p>Burgeoning apartment developer Siera Group will launch its third local apartment development since breaking onto the Gold Coast development scene in 2021 with their debut project Tapestry.</p>

<p>Siera Group, led by founder and managing director Brent Thompson, is gearing up the launch of its <a href="/new-apartments/exhale-surfers-paradise">Enderley Avenue project</a>, just off Northcliffe Beach. The approved project designed by <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/architects/bda-architecture">BDA Architecture</a> will comprise 54 apartments across a 25-level building, a maximum of three apartments per floor.</p>

<p>[smartcode_project:default project_id=112661 project_image_fid=283645]</p>

<p>There will be two levels of amenity, with the lower level hosting a communal mezzanine with a spa, gym and sauna, and the upper level with a lap pool with pool deck, barbecue alfresco space, a private dining area with a bar and cellar room, a games room, and a space with work from home facilities.</p>

<p>Thompson believes the majority of buyers at Enderley will be local downsizers.</p>

<p>"We want to really elevate the liveability factors of an apartment for a downsizer, and we think, on top of larger sized apartments with good design, we can do that with extensive amenity," Thompon says.</p>

<h2>Who:&nbsp;Aniko Group</h2>

<h2>Where:&nbsp;14 Seaview Avenue, Mermaid Beach QLD 4218</h2>

<h2>What: The Landmark - 821 one, two, three and four-bedroom apartments across four towers</h2>

<p>The much anticipated $2 billion, four-tower Mermaid Beach precinct by&nbsp;<a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developers/aniko-group">Aniko Group</a> is expected to be available to buy into this year.</p>

<p>The precinct-style development, dubbed&nbsp;<a href="/new-apartments/the-landmark-mermaid-beach-14-seaview-avenue-mermaid-beach-qld-4218">The Landmark</a>, will spread across a prime 1.1-hectare site&nbsp;on the corner of the Gold Coast Highway and Seaview Avenue. It will comprise residential, hotel, retail, hospitality, and commercial spaces, as well as significant amenities for future residents.</p>

<p><img alt="Aniko Group plot launch of four-tower Mermaid Beach development The Landmark after council approval" 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/field/image/Screenshot%202023-12-21%20at%208.52.38%20am.png?VersionId=LH3TYGiiRfDZ_P4X1joSmzWrL82.4xhs" /></p>

<p>The Landmark, designed by Plus Architecture, will deliver a collection of 821 apartments, over 10,000 sqm of A-grade commercial office and medical space and a vibrant new casual fine dining and beverage precinct on the ground floor.</p>

<p><a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developers/aniko-group" target="">Aniko</a>’s vision for&nbsp;The Landmark&nbsp;is to create a new lifestyle and tourism heart for&nbsp;<a href="/new-apartments/mermaid-beach-qld-4218">Mermaid Beach</a>&nbsp;that will leverage its prime location as the southern gateway to the heart of the Gold Coast’s bustling central beachside suburbs.</p>

<p><a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developers/aniko-group">Aniko Group</a>&nbsp;Managing Director&nbsp;George Mastrocostas said The Landmark&nbsp;will have every conceivable amenity on site for residents, hotel guests and office tenants while being just a short walk to everything that&nbsp;<a href="/new-apartments/mermaid-beach-qld-4218">Mermaid Beach</a>&nbsp;and nearby&nbsp;<a href="/new-apartments/broadbeach-qld-4218">Broadbeach</a>&nbsp;have to offer.</p>

<p>“Residents will have access to facilities they are more likely to find in a holiday resort while hotel guests will have ready access to everything the Coast has to offer from the beach to shopping and theme parks.”</p>

<h2><span id="cke_bm_546S" style="display: none;">&nbsp;</span>Who: Macquarie York</h2>

<h2>Where:&nbsp;50 Sunset Boulevarde, Surfers Paradise QLD 4217</h2>

<h2>What:&nbsp;42 two and three-bedroom apartments</h2>

<p>Roy Skaf's <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developers/macquarie-york">Macquarie York</a> will launch its Sunset Boulevarde tower later this year, having secured approval for the riverfront building in April.</p>

<p>The 17-level tower at 50 Sunset Boulevarde, a 1,057 sqm riverfront block on the Nerang River facing <a href="/developments/chevron-island-qld-4217">Chevron Island</a>'s Home of The Arts building, will home 42 two and three-bedroom apartments, as well as a three-level, four-bedroom penthouse.</p>

<p>Each floor up to level 15 will accommodate just three apartments, varying in size from 96 sqm to 129 sqm.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Among the amenities planned for residents is a dedicated recreation level on the second floor boasting a swimming pool, lounge area, BBQ space, gym, sauna, steam room, and work-from-home office space complete with desks and a boardroom.&nbsp;</p>

<h2>Who:&nbsp;Amalgamated Property Group</h2>

<h2>Where:&nbsp;42-46 Chelsea Avenue, Broadbeach QLD 4218</h2>

<h2>What:&nbsp;Affinity Broadbeach - 185 two and three-bedroom apartments</h2>

<p>The Canberra-based apartment developer <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developers/amalgamated-property-group">Amalgamated Property Group</a> is looking to launch its second Broadbeach apartment development.</p>

<p>Currently building Amaya on First Avenue, APG has its sites set on revealing its next tower, <a href="/new-apartments/affinity-broadbeach-40-46-chelsea-avenue-broadbeach">Affinity Broadbeach</a>.</p>

<p>The 1,820 sqm Chelsea Avenue site, just 700 metres from&nbsp;Nikiforides Park was bought from Raptis with approval for a 41-level Archidiom-designed tower with 180 apartments.</p>

<p>APG has tweaked the plans, bringing in DBI to change the product mix, instead now offering 148 two-beds and 37 three-bed apartments, a total of 185 apartments.</p>

<p>The recreational amenities for residents will be situated on the fourth level, offering a range of facilities such as a swimming pool, residents' lounge, community living area with barbecue and outdoor dining space, gardens, gym, sauna, and a yoga/meeting room.&nbsp;</p>

<h2>Who:&nbsp;Pyco</h2>

<h2>Where:&nbsp;10 Churchill Street, Coolangatta QLD 4225</h2>

<h2>What:&nbsp;Kirra Beach Residences - 97 two and three-bedroom apartments</h2>

<p>The Brisbane-focussed developer&nbsp;<a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developers/pyco-group">Pyco</a>, is breaking into the Gold Coast with its maiden apartment development, Kirra Beach Residences.</p>

<p>Pyco Founder Lachlan Cottee says the project, 97 apartments across a 14-level building just one row back from Kirra Beach, will launch later this year. The owner-occupier development, made up of 79 three-beds and 18 two-beds, is set to be incredibly popular in an area that has been starved of supply.</p>

<p><img alt="First look exclusive: Coolangatta's newest apartment tower plans revealed" 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/field/image/Screenshot%202024-01-19%20at%2012.10.00%20pm.png?VersionId=dCEUdKyBg9TUoWj3pxsC_2vFf713_bmn" /></p>

<p>The three-bedroom apartment sizes start from 113 sqm.</p>

<p>The resident amenity on the ground floor, set back from the street and elevated, includes a swimming pool, gym, sauna, resident work from home office space, and a media room.</p>

<p>Pyco has amalgamated four sites,&nbsp;10 and 12 Churchill Street, 17 Miles Street and 51 Winston Street, to create the 2,044 sqm site for the project.</p>

<p>Architecture firm DAHA said in their design statement submitted with the application to the Gold Coast City Council that their approach creates a space that complements the natural beauty of the Gold Coast landscape whilst elevating the experience of beachside living.</p>

<h2>Who: Ignite Projects</h2>

<h2>Where: 1177 Jefferson Lane, Palm Beach</h2>

<h2>What: 36 two and three-bedroom apartments</h2>

<p>Ignite Projects will be ready to launch its latest <a href="/developments/palm-beach-qld-4221">Palm Beach</a> beachfront development in the coming months, having recently acquired a prime 1,600 sqm site and submitted a code-assessable development application for a new nine-level apartment building on the Jefferson Lane dress circle.</p>

<p>Ignite, led by Josh Foote, is seeking to create 36 high-end apartments, akin to Cabana Palm Beach, Ignite's last Palm Beach project.</p>

<p>There will be four two-bedroom apartments and 32 three-beds, 31 of which have an additional multi-purpose room.</p>

<p><img alt="First look exclusive: Ignite Projects head back to Palm Beach beachfront with latest apartment development" 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/Screenshot%202024-06-20%20at%207.26.44%E2%80%AFPM.png?VersionId=CZuDywsZQrYWUhs0AQCDq0wZEmtuoWxr" /></p>

<p>"Cabana was so well received, it would have been silly to not take the opportunity to recreate something similar when we know that market so well," Josh Foote said.</p>

<p>"We've had Plus come in and create a facade that is something fresh and challenges convention a little compared to what's come before in the area."</p>

<p>Ignite is bringing construction in-house for the project, with construction commencement expected in early 2025.</p>

The Gold Coast's hottest apartment developments set to launch in H2 2024

Josh Foote told Urban the new project will follow the same blueprint as Cabana, 30 apartments up the road that was one of the fastest selling developments in the Gold Coast in 2021.

<p>Josh Foote's Ignite Projects is heading back to the Palm Beach sand, filing plans for its latest luxury beachfront project.</p>

<p>Having acquired a development-approved site a few months ago from GV Property Group, <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developers/ignite-projects">Ignite</a>, who has had success on the <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developments/palm-beach-qld-4221">Palm Beach</a> beachfront previously with Cabana, has scaled back plans to be more in keeping with the Palm Beach beachfront.</p>

<p>Now on the desks of the Gold Coast City Council is <a href="/new-apartments/retreat-palm-beach-1177-jefferson-lane-palm-beach-qld-4221">Retreat Palm Beach</a>, a nine-level building by Plus Architecture with 36 apartments. There will be four two-bed apartments and 32 three-beds, 31 of which also have a multi-purpose room.</p>

<p><img alt="Palmie" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="ce60f9fb-2dc7-4da7-aee6-689894d8658f" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202024-06-20%20at%207.26.44%E2%80%AFPM.png?VersionId=CZuDywsZQrYWUhs0AQCDq0wZEmtuoWxr" /></p>

<p>Josh Foote told Urban the new project will follow the same blueprint as Cabana, 30 apartments up the road that was one of the fastest selling developments in the Gold Coast in 2021.</p>

<p>"Cabana was so well received, it would have been silly to not take the opportunity to recreate something similar when we know that market so well," he said.</p>

<p>"We've had Plus come in and create a facade that is something fresh and challenges convention a little compared to what's come before in the area."</p>

<p>One of the key focuses for Foote is on the communal area on the ground level.</p>

<p>"We want this space to become an urban retreat for residents, within the confines of the building.</p>

<p>"Of course one of the biggest drawcards will be the proximity to the beach, but we want this space to act as a retreat from the beach. "The design will evoke a Mediterranean day spa ambiance, characterised by organic and natural elements, featuring a sculpted lagoon pool and floating day beds."</p>

<p><img alt="Palmie" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="f1aef654-cf06-48e0-9119-678ec0586b6c" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202024-06-20%20at%207.26.40%E2%80%AFPM.png?VersionId=wtQjhnbEIOUZaTHg4Nsc1KWPCjCMv_yh" /></p>

<p>Much like several developers on the Gold Coast who are wanting to avoid any problems with construction, Foote will be bringing construction in-house for the new project.</p>

<p>"It's a matter of wanting to control the quality and delivery from concept to completion," Foote says, adding that they'll be ready to start construction in early 2025. Sales and marketing is expected to commence in Q3 2024, with the new development application code-assessable so it should fly through its approval process.</p>

<p>"We considered numerous elements before finalising the layout of the floor plans to ensure the best possible outcome,"&nbsp; Foote says.</p>

<p>"It ticks a lot of boxes for downsizers."</p>

<p><img alt="Ignite" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="b83d81b3-ae34-4cef-a16e-cf754be4f84f" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202024-06-21%20at%204.21.17%E2%80%AFPM.png?VersionId=uCmQTal2UbrqqeCbIwWYBqCw8crZgdsk" /></p>

<p>GV Property Group's Luke Reaby says there aren't many more opportunities to create a project of the scale of this one, namely due to the fact the lack of supply coming to the market, as well as the ability to amalgamate a site of this size.</p>

<p>"We're in constant communication with every owner on the beachfront and Jefferson Lane and believe these sites will become more scarce everyday, especially four blocks in a row like this one," Reaby says.</p>

<p>"We sold the unit block then approached the neighbours to the north to make the site larger which has allowed for a better scheme to be put to Council."</p>

<p>Reaby says there were multiple offers from local developers, as well as a consortium of investors from the local area who looked at it as a landbanking opportunity.</p>

<p>Ignite is taking the wraps off its luxury Main Beach apartment development, The Monaco, just 24 half and full-floor apartments that sold out with an average sale price of $4.6 million.</p>


First look exclusive: Ignite Projects head back to Palm Beach beachfront with latest apartment development

The likes of Gurner, KTQ, Siera and Iris Capital are expected to be launching their Gold Coast apartment developments next year

The top 16 Gold Coast apartment developments launching in 2023

His building development company, Dascon, will be building a 12-level apartment building on the huge 1,649 sqm site at 1177 Gold Coast Highway


<p>After securing a prime site in Palm Beach earlier this year, experienced developer Samy Saad has lodged plans for the Gold Coast Highway site.</p>

<p>His building development company, Daascon, will be building a 12-level apartment building on the huge 1,649 sqm site at 1177 Gold Coast Highway, one of the largest sites ever amalgamated and sold in Palm Beach through GV Property Group.</p>

<p>BDA Architecture have designed the visually striking development just off Jefferson Lane, which was thoughtfully put together so each of the 38 apartments get ocean views.</p>

<p>They noted in their design statement that the&nbsp;layered and curved façade responds to the surrounding local context.</p>

<p>"The architecture of the proposal is tailored to the coastal, sub-tropical location of Palm Beach," the architecture firm stated.</p>

<p><img alt="A striking tower" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="2f630c3c-ca36-48aa-8700-62321ff6c650" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screen%20Shot%202022-10-07%20at%201.30.35%20pm.png?VersionId=fOZJ6FpC71oCxwDBefWbEmvg2pzQuHD7" /></p>

<p>Saad is intending on retaining a foothold in the project for his family and friends, with a limited amount of apartments being first offered to Palm Beach locals. He favoured Palm Beach over the other local suburbs due to the breathtaking beach and water, sheltered by Currumbin and Burleigh headlands on each side.</p>

<p>"We expect to see downsizers,&nbsp;owner occupiers, retirees, locals, or people looking settle or have a holiday house on the best beach on the Gold Coast whilst being only 10 minutes to the airport," Saad said.</p>

<p>The whole of the ground floor will be dedicated to amenity. It will feature a pool,&nbsp;pool terrace with barbecue, and a gym. In a nod to locals and what Palmy is all about, there will be a dedicated area with outdoor showers designed for surfers and swimmers.</p>

<p><img alt="The BDA-designed tower" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="d1c670dd-6dd5-411f-a509-27691f4d5a54" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screen%20Shot%202022-10-07%20at%201.30.39%20pm.png?VersionId=yWLFLPDY8_EmKhpp2ArZVTaUBjI3X2aD" /></p>

<p>"There's a double height entry void with double lifts, something not commonly seen on projects in the area," Saad added.</p>

<p>There will be just four apartments per floor, a mix of two and three-bedders, until level eight when it becomes half-floor, four-bedroom apartments offering over 250 sqm of living space.</p>

<p>There are two penthouse sized apartments on levels 11 and 12, each spanning a whole floor with 440 sqm penthouse crowns the building, complete with four bedrooms, two living spaces, a multi-purpose room, a kitchen with butler's pantry, and a further 130 sqm of balcony.&nbsp;</p>

<p><img alt="The entry to the project" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="24dddc67-8e44-4ae7-882e-28f2032a74a0" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screen%20Shot%202022-10-07%20at%205.02.09%20pm.png?VersionId=Voft5ZLKAXcNKhrHskPHFC3ZGaGQt7Lx" /></p>

<p>Luke Reaby from development site specialists GV Property Group put together the trio of sites, after initially listing the six apartment amalgamation of 1177 Gold Coast Highway.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"After selling the double block at 1177 Gold Coast Highway, we approached the two northern house blocks to expand the footprint - opening up the development possibilities to a scale that is rarely seen in Palm Beach anymore," Reaby said.</p>

<p>"Property owners in Palm Beach are seeing the huge added value they can unlock by selling together as a collective, as developers and people looking to relocate are always looking for something in Palm Beach," Reaby added.</p>
