Gold Coast apartment insights: What happened on the Gold Coast in September

Any fears of oversupply across the Gold Coast were well and truly quelled in September, with data form Urbis suggesting that, if the current sales demand continues and no new developments are released, there would only be around four months of apartments left.

There's been a continued uptake in residential apartment projects, with some developers still seeing exceptional results in the early weeks of launching.

Chevron One adds further level of luxury, with the new Sky Homes release featuring the Gold Coast’s biggest ever penthouse

Chevron One, set to reign as Chevron Island's only luxury high-rise apartment tower, is about to achieve another level of luxury the Gold Coast hasn't seen before.

The Melbourne-based Bensons Property Group has released its Sky Home collection, starting from levels 31 and rising to level 41, soaring nearly 100 metres in the air. Bensons hadn't released the high-level apartments, but are now seeing high demand in ultra-luxury, large apartments in the sky.

When complete, Chevron One will be the tallest tower on the exclusive island, and the tallest there ever will be, with the Gold Coast City Council two years ago bringing in strict planning laws, limiting future apartment projects to 33 metres, or 12 storeys.
