The top 13 Gold Coast new apartment developments launching in 2025
While many property markets across the country are cooling due to prolonged higher interest rate forecasts, the Gold Coast is gearing up for a big year in the off the plan apartment space in 2025.
In contrast to the national property downturn, new projects on the Gold Coast are still in high demand, driven by a significant imbalance of supply and demand.
According to Colliers, the Gold Coast new unit market reached new highs during the June quarter, with the average price hitting $1.77 million. However, Colliers noted in September that even an additional 2,000 apartments would not be enough to address the ongoing supply shortage.
CoreLogic's Monthly Index revealed that the broader unit market, which includes established apartments, townhouses, and settled new apartments, isn't as buoyant as earlier in the year. Despite this, developers are still seeing strong results when they can bring projects to market with all the right planning in place.
There's now a longer lead time between approval and launch, as developers are approaching the market with more caution than in the past three years. There are many factors driving purchasing demand, such as certainty around project delivery. One thing, however, that hasn’t changed is the sustained demand for new apartments.
Confidence is high that the market will experience another strong year in 2025. In this article, we’ll take a closer look at the key players, standout projects, and the best new apartment developments set to launch in 2025.
Who: Aniko Group
What: The Landmark
Where: 14 Seaview Avenue, Mermaid Beach QLD 4218
Apartments in the much anticipated $2 billion, four-tower Mermaid Beach precinct by Aniko Group, will become available to purchase next year.
The precinct-style development, known as The Landmark, will spread across a prime 1.1-hectare site 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.
The Landmark has been designed by Plus Architecture and will deliver 821 apartments, over 10,000 sqm of A-grade commercial office and medical space, and a new casual fine dining and beverage precinct on the ground floor.
Aniko’s vision for The Landmark is to create a new lifestyle and tourism heart for Mermaid Beach that will leverage its prime location as the southern gateway to the heart of the Gold Coast’s bustling central beachside suburbs.
Aniko Group Managing Director George Mastrocostas said The Landmark will have every conceivable amenity onsite for residents, hotel guests and office tenants while being just a short walk to everything that Mermaid Beach and nearby Broadbeach have to offer.
“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.”
Sales are expected to begin in early 2025.
Who: Siera Group
What: Enderley Avenue
Where: Surfers Paradise
SIERA will launch its third local apartment development since breaking onto the Gold Coast development scene in 2021 with their debut project Tapestry.
SIERA, led by founder and managing director Brent Thompson, is gearing up the launch of its Enderley Avenue project at 8 Enderley Avenue, just off Northcliffe Beach.
The project, designed by BDA Architecture, will comprise 54 apartments across a 25-level building, a maximum of three apartments per floor.
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.
Thompson believes the majority of buyers at Enderley will be local downsizers.
"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," Thompson says.
SIERA is soon to complete Pipis Bilinga, a luxury project on the beachfront, and is well into construction of Tapestry on Chevron Island, which will complete toward the end of 2025.
Sales at Enderley are expected to commence in early 2025.
