<p>The Gold Coast is set to see an exciting wave of new apartment developments completed in 2025, adding to the region's ever-growing skyline and reinforcing its reputation as one of Australia's most sought-after destinations for both investors and residents.</p>

<p>As demand for premium living spaces continues to rise, these seven new off the plan developments each offer a distinct style of living, ranging from island retreats and gated communities to absolute beachfront properties—and everything in between.</p>

<p>Several of these developments, marketed during and shortly after the pandemic, have attracted a significant portion of buyers from Sydney and Melbourne, many of whom plan to relocate to the Gold Coast upon completion or soon after.</p>

<p>In this article, we take a closer look at the <em>what</em>, the <em>who</em>, and the <em>where</em> of the best new developments completing on the Gold Coast in 2025.</p>

<h2>What: Pipis</h2>

<h3>Who:&nbsp;SIERA</h3>

<h3>Where:&nbsp;303 Golden Four Drive, Bilinga QLD 4225</h3>

<p>The best beachfront apartment development to complete next year is SIERA's Pipis in Bilinga.</p>

<p>Just two half-floor apartments remain, not including the two-level penthouses which will be released to the market early next year.</p>

<p>[smartcode_project:default project_id=138311 project_image_fid=264300]</p>

<p>Pipis comprises just 17 apartments on the dress circle Golden Four Drive and will also feature&nbsp;a heated lap pool, gym, and sun lounge deck.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Around 65 per cent of the buyers so far have been from the Gold Coast and Brisbane, a mix of owner-occupiers, downsizers and investors, while 35 per cent have come from interstate, outside of Sydney and&nbsp;<a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developments/melbourne-vic" target="">Melbourne</a>.</p>

<p>[smartcode_project:default project_id=138311 project_image_fid=264308]</p>

<p>LPS Group has officially topped out Pipis, with the internal fit out coming soon which will see residents move in in early 2025.</p>

<h2>What: Tapestry</h2>

<h3>Who:&nbsp;SIERA</h3>

<h3>Where:&nbsp;39 Darrambal Street, Chevron Island QLD 4217</h3>

<p>SIERA is also working on Tapestry on Chevron Island, its debut Gold Coast apartment development.</p>

<p>The 22-level, BDA-designed tower comprises 113 apartments that have proven popular with downsizers and those from regional NSW and VIC.</p>

<p>[smartcode_project:default project_id=108641 project_image_fid=192961]</p>

<p>The rooftop is one of the best on the Gold Coast, with home to a private dining space and kitchen, which can be closed off, lounge and fire pit, yoga lawn, pool, spa and sundeck, barbecue and alfresco area, gym, sauna, steam room, and lounge area separated by extensive landscaping.</p>

<p>Tapestry was the first development SIERA took on in the Gold Coast, having spent several years building boutique townhouse developments in Brisbane's inner-ring.</p>

<p>[smartcode_project:default project_id=108641 project_image_fid=192964]</p>

<p>SIERA Founder Brent Thompson had been&nbsp;scoping out the Gold Coast market for 18 months before purchasing a prime 1500 sqm site on Darrambal Street.</p>

<p>On submitting plans for Tapestry in 2021, Thompson said&nbsp;<a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developments/chevron-island-qld" target="">Chevron Island</a>&nbsp;has a "great local community".</p>

<p>"It's a tight-knit community, while being ideally located just a five-minute walk from the international tourist hub of Surfers Paradise."</p>

<p>SIERA's in-house construction team is delivering Tapestry, a 22-level tower with 113 apartments just off the Thomas Street retail strip.</p>

<p>"We have always built in-house, so it was really more about building a team of experienced high-rise staff to deliver Tapestry as we always have as builder/ developer," Thompson says.</p>

<h2>What: Capri</h2>

<h3>Who:&nbsp;Monaco Property Group</h3>

<h3>Where:&nbsp;81 Salerno Street, Isle Of Capri QLD 4217</h3>

<p>Capri will be the only major townhouse development to be completed in the heart of the Gold Coast in 2025.</p>

<p>More like a luxury villa community rather than the traditional townhouse, Capri, named after its location on the Isle of Capri, is being built by Greyburn on behalf of developer Monaco Property Group.</p>

<p>Construction is on track for completion in late 2025.&nbsp;</p>

<p>[smartcode_project:default project_id=139511 project_image_fid=298833]</p>

<p>The gated Capri comprises&nbsp;48 two and three-level villas designed by Plus Architecture and BDA Architecture.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The villas have been cleverly oriented around central resort-style amenities like a resort-style pool,&nbsp;barbecue area, and a lounge with a kitchen and fireplace.</p>

<p>[smartcode_project:default project_id=139511 project_image_fid=298822]</p>

<p>Capri is just a short walk from the cafes and shops of Capri on Via Roma.</p>

<p>So far the villas have been popular with empty nesters from nearby suburbs, as well as from interstate early retirees.</p>

<h2>What: Lagoon</h2>

<h3>Who:&nbsp;Drew Group</h3>

<h3>Where:&nbsp;11 Cronin Avenue, Main Beach QLD 4217</h3>

<p>[smartcode_project:default project_id=108747 project_image_fid=224106]</p>

<p>Lagoon is the largest development in the area in three decades with 259 apartments.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Designed by Plus Architecture, Lagoon boasts premium amenities, including a central pool oasis, fitness centre, yoga deck and a business hub.</p>

<p>[smartcode_project:default project_id=108747 project_image_fid=221589]</p>

<p>It's attracted a wide variety of buyers, given it has offered one, two, three and four-bedroom apartments since its launch.</p>

<p>Lagoon Main Beach is around 85 per cent sold.</p>

<h2>What: Lune</h2>

<h3>Who:&nbsp;Alroe Constructions</h3>

<p>[smartcode_project:default project_id=146373 project_image_fid=297482]</p>

<p>Each villa-style apartment includes three ensuite bedrooms, expansive outdoor areas, and private pools for the ground-level apartments and penthouses.</p>

<p>Designed to provide a spacious, laid-back coastal lifestyle, Lune has already garnered strong local and interstate interest.</p>

<p>[smartcode_project:default project_id=146373 project_image_fid=297485]</p>

<p>Alroe's in-house construction company, Alroe Constructions, is handling the build. Construction began in May 2024, with completion anticipated in mid-2025.&nbsp;</p>

<h2>What: Yves</h2>

<h3>Who:&nbsp;Hirsch &amp; Faigen</h3>

<h3>Where:&nbsp;7-9 Mermaid Avenue, Mermaid Beach QLD 4218</h3>

<p>The sold-out Yves Mermaid Beach is Melbourne developer Hirsch &amp; Faigen's third successful development on the Gold Coast. They debuted with Hemingway Palm Beach, before then completing Emerson in Kirra earlier this year.</p>

<p>Yves, their largest development on the Gold Coast, has 146 apartments across a 26-level building not far from the beach.</p>

<p>[smartcode_project:default project_id=102451 project_image_fid=186080]</p>

<p>They've had the same team throughout their Gold Coast journey, with Rothelowman handling all the designs and Hutchinson's building each development</p>

<p>Hutchies is forecasting a mid-2025 completion of Yves, which features a&nbsp;gym, sauna, barbecue areas, and a rooftop lounge with ocean views.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Housing All Australians (HAA) and its network of compassionate capitalists have demonstrated the power of private sector leadership in addressing Australia's housing crisis, with yesterday's launch of the Wyn Carr House project in Fremantle, Western Australia.</p>

<p>Through HAA's coordination, more than $1 million in pro-bono services and materials were secured from over 30 private sector organisations, helping to unlock $7 million in government funding for the transformation of the historic Wyn Carr House into transitional accommodation for women over 55 facing homelessness.</p>

<p>"This project exemplifies what's possible when the private sector takes the lead in addressing our housing crisis," said Lee Rossetto, Chair of HAA's WA State Management Committee.</p>

<p>"By bringing together values-aligned businesses to contribute their expertise and resources, we created the momentum needed to transform an empty building into a home for vulnerable women."</p>

<ul>
	<li>The project showcases HAA's innovative "compassionate capitalism" model, with notable contributions including:</li>
	<li>Cox Architects providing extensive pro-bono design services and leveraging their network for material donations</li>
	<li>RPS delivering ongoing project management support</li>
	<li>More than a dozen professional services firms offering pro-bono expertise in architecture, heritage, town planning, surveying, and engineering</li>
	<li>Over 20 businesses contributing building materials and goods at cost or pro-bono</li>
</ul>

<p>"The housing crisis is too big for government to solve alone," Rossetto emphasised. "Wyn Carr House demonstrates what's possible when the private sector steps up to incubate solutions. By securing significant private sector contributions first, we helped create a compelling case for government investment."</p>

<p>The refurbished facility, to be operated by Uniting WA, will provide 12 ensuite rooms, including one disability-accessible accommodation, along with shared living spaces and support services. The project is expected to complete by late 2025.</p>

<p>The urgent need for projects like Wyn Carr House is powerfully illustrated in the new Australian documentary "Under Cover," now streaming on Netflix. The film, which features HAA's work and was partially funded by compassionate capitalists, reveals the growing crisis of homelessness among women over 50 – precisely the demographic this project will support. "We encourage everyone to watch 'Under Cover' to understand who we're helping and why immediate action through private sector leadership is so crucial," added Rossetto.</p>

<p>This initiative represents another successful deployment of HAA's national strategy to harness private sector skills, goods, and services to deliver innovative housing solutions for Australians in need.</p>


Through HAA's coordination, more than $1 million in pro-bono services and materials were secured from over 30 private sector organisations, helping to unlock $7 million in government funding for the transformation of the historic Wyn Carr House into transitional accommodation for women over 55 facing homelessness.

<p>The Sunshine Coast off the plan apartment market is looking prime for a big 2025, with several developments from some of the regions biggest developers to launch next year.</p>

<p>Still a relatively untapped market as far as new apartments goes, a handful of developers have been creating places to live up and down the Sunshine Coast for years, while some are being attracted to the new CBD which is forming in <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developments/maroochydore-qld" target="">Maroochydore</a>, Australia's largest&nbsp;greenfield CBD&nbsp;project.</p>

<p>The new Maroochydore City Centre is being developed on the former 53-hectare Horton Park Golf Club. Around 10,000 residents will eventually call Maroochydore City Centre home with 25,000 workers commuting to the CBD daily.</p>

<p>Sunshine Coast Mayor Rosanna Natoli said it would be great to see more apartments in the city centre, bringing even greater vibrancy and excitement to the growing heart of Maroochydore.</p>

<p data-v-a814a589="">“Decades of planning have positioned the Maroochydore City Centre as one of the best locations for housing and high-quality inner-city apartment living," Natoli said.</p>

<p data-v-a814a589="">SunCentral CEO Amanda Yeates said the new city centre is becoming a popular location for apartment living, with more families choosing to call Maroochydore City Centre home.<br />
<br />
“This is an exciting time for the Sunshine Coast as its new city centre rapidly grows, with thousands of people set to make the move to the city centre in the years to come.”</p>
