Sydney rich-lister Ian Malouf has launched a sales campaign for the three-level spread atop his completed Broadbeach apartment development, REMI Residences.

The REMI Residences penthouse on Surf Parade spans 1,200 sqm and features six bedrooms, two of which are in a self-contained apartment, and a&nbsp;wine cellar with a dedicated tasting room.

The private rooftop is the standout, complete with a swimming pool and a rooftop pickleball court, the first in the world.

&nbsp;

“This development reflects what we like in our yachts and residences in scale, design, finishes and artwork," Malouf said.

"Our objective was to create a world-class penthouse."

Highland agent Hanan Cawley says there is no completed luxury penthouse product of this calibre currently available in the central Gold Coast.

“This is a rare chance to experience and purchase an ultra-luxury residence that is not just conceptual, but fully complete and ready to occupy.”

&nbsp;

REMI Residences, completed last year, features a suite of five-star amenities including spa treatment rooms, saunas and steam rooms, hot and cold plunge pools, and a 15-metre lap pool.

David Highland, CEO of Highland Property, said the REMI penthouse is&nbsp;one of the most remarkable penthouses he's seen anywhere in the world.

&nbsp;

“It’s not just the size and scale—it’s the lifestyle, the finish, the readiness. Ian’s created something truly iconic here.”

World-first rooftop pickleball court crowns new Gold Coast penthouse

International DJ Paul Fisher and his wife Chloe have revealed their much-anticipated Palm Beach apartment development, <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/pescado-palm-beach-229-jefferson-lane-palm-beach-qld-4221">Pescado</a>.

The $50 million development, on the dress circle Jefferson Lane, is being developed by the Fishers new development company, YLB Property Developments, and will home just seven ultra-luxury apartments designed by the Fishers and BDA Architecture.

The Fishers, who intend to retain the two-level penthouse, have already appointed Gold Coast construction company HNKN to build Pescado.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=149651 project_image_fid=341823]

Located at 228-230 Jefferson Lane, Palm Beach, Pescado will be designed as a tranquil retreat, offering a seamless blend of architectural sophistication and relaxed beachside living.

Designed in collaboration with leading BDA Architecture, Pescado will set a new standard for premium, low-density living, offering just six full-floor residences and an expansive two-level penthouse in the eight-level building.

Fisher, who has travelled extensively, describes Palm Beach as his personal retreat and the inspiration behind Pescado.

“After weeks on the road, all I can think about is getting home,” Fisher said.

“That feeling of calm, of being fully present, is what we want to bring to Pescado.”

Each three-bedroom, three-bathroom home will feature expansive open-plan layouts, high-end finishes, and seamless indoor-outdoor living. Prices start from $5.25 million.

Designed with an emphasis on wellness, functionality and meaningful social spaces, the residence features a resort-style pool, gym, cold plunge, BBQ, and dining areas, encouraging a balanced lifestyle.

“Palm Beach is part of my DNA, and that’s reflected in Pescado’s design, which captures the natural rhythm and energy of the coastline – it’s wavy and groovy, just like my music,” Fisher added.

“We wanted to create a space where people can entertain, bring their friends over, and truly enjoy the coastal lifestyle.

“Pescado is not just another luxury development—it’s a deeply personal project for us. We’re not just building this place and moving on; this is our forever home. Every detail has been considered to ensure that Pescado is a special place, not just for us but for everyone who becomes part of this journey.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=149651 project_image_fid=341824]

The name ‘Pescado’ – Spanish for ‘fish’ – is a nod to Fisher’s time in Ibiza, where the nickname stuck. Chloe Fisher, Co-founder of YLB Developments, has led the interior design direction, ensuring Pescado balances elegance with everyday comfort.

“Pescado’s interiors are designed to blend elegance with comfort to ensure it feels like a home, not just a house,” Chloe Fisher said.

“We’ve drawn influence from some of our favourite hotels around the world, with a strong focus on sustainability and liveability – and for me, it’s all about creating a true sense of home.

“We took inspiration from our homes in LA and Ibiza, using organic textures and neutral tones, with subtle pops of sage green and blush pink to give Pescado its own personality without overpowering the coastal feel.

“Functionality has remained at the forefront of the design. We’ve stayed in some of the most beautiful homes around the world, and yet, often we find that the high-end design doesn’t always translate to practicality."

Fisher said they&nbsp;wanted to ensure that every aspect of Pescado was purposeful and considered.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=149651 project_image_fid=341825]

The development team have worked alongside leading architects and designers to bring the project to life, ensuring the highest standard of craftsmanship and architectural integrity. BDA Architects has delivered a design that integrates contemporary coastal architecture with timeless interior appeal.

Darren Greenaway, Director of BDA Architects, said the wave-like façade was deliberately designed to reflect the transition from chaos to calm, with the architecture symbolising a journey from the noise of daily life into a private sanctuary.

“Pescado reinterprets the Gold Coast’s coastal vernacular with modern influences, using crafted brickwork, travertine, and expansive, light-filled spaces to ensure lasting elegance,” said Greenaway.

“Our goal was to incorporate a fluid, organic curvature into the façade so that when people look at Pescado, they experience the same sense of serenity they would watching the ocean.”

With approvals secured, sales are now underway, exclusively represented by Pezet Matheson.

Jayde Pezet, Managing Director of Pezet Matheson, said they anticipate strong demand for boutique beachside developments of this calibre.

“Pescado’s craftsmanship, prime location, and exclusivity will set it apart in the Palm Beach market," Pezet said.

“As interest in high-end, low-density residences continues to grow, Pescado is expected to become a defining addition to Palm Beach’s landscape—offering both prestige and enduring value.”

DJ Fisher launches Pescado, luxury Palm Beach apartment development

Sekisui House Australia has revealed the premium sky home collection in Willow, their most recent release in the $2 billion Wentworth Point masterplan, Sanctuary.

The 48 apartments, on levels 20 to 28 of the new building, will offer expansive, uninterrupted views across Millennium Parklands, the Parramatta River, Sydney’s CBD, and out to the Blue Mountains.

The sky homes are part of the third stage of Sanctuary, two mid-rise buildings and a 28-level tower, to be developed around a&nbsp;podium lagoon pool, connected to an internal and external communal pavilion.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=6969 project_image_fid=228652]

Paul Wainwright, Senior Sales and Operations Manager – Apartment &amp; Mixed-Use Developments at Sekisui House Australia, said the sky homes represent the most aspirational collection released within the Sanctuary community to date.

“All upper-level residences have been designed to maximise breathtaking outlooks, with no risk of future obstruction," Wainwright says.

"These homes offer more space, higher finishes and a rare connection to the natural surroundings that is difficult to find in a city-edge location."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=6969 project_image_fid=228634]

The release comprises a mix of one, two, three, and four-bedroom apartments, with prices starting from $810,000 and reaching $4.5 million for the four-bedroom penthouse. The average apartment size is 93 sqm, with generous floorplans that prioritise natural light, privacy, and open living.

Designed by acclaimed architecture and design studio TURNER, Willow’s form is inspired by the flowing curves of the Parramatta River. Its distinctive terracotta façade graduates from darker shades at the base to lighter tones at the top, subtly defining the premium upper floors.

James McCarthy, Director at TURNER said the Sky Homes were conceived as residences immersed in nature and surrounded by sky.

“These upper levels have been carefully designed to offer a sense of calm elevation," McCarthy said.

"Curved bronze-toned batten screens filter light, add privacy and accentuate the tower’s sculptural form. Floor-to-ceiling glazing and expansive balconies invite the outdoors in, while maximising views in every direction.”

McCarthy said the&nbsp;architectural vision for <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/sanctuary-wentworth-point-willow-release-11-wattlebird-road-wentworth-point-nsw-2127">Willow</a> was shaped by the idea of a building growing out of its landscape.

"We conceptualised the architecture to feel like a natural extension of the parklands. The forms are soft and organic, drawing from the curvature of the river, while the material palette complements the surrounding waterfront and bushland.”

The design ensures a sense of privacy and openness, with no buildings directly facing one another.

“Each tower within the Sanctuary masterplan is intentionally offset to preserve view lines and avoid visual crowding. From the Sky Homes, residents will experience a feeling of peaceful separation, a real sense of being removed from the density of urban living,” James added.

“We’ve created rational, rectangular floorplates behind the sculptural forms, so while the buildings appear fluid, the interiors are practical and easy to furnish. It is a balance of emotional and spatial intelligence, the architecture stirs something in you, but it also just works.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=6969 project_image_fid=228638]

&nbsp;

Positioned at the gateway to Millennium Parklands, Willow is also known as the ‘Green Heart’ of the Sanctuary masterplan, a secluded, peaceful setting surrounded by native bushland and water.

Residents will have exclusive access to a resort-style lagoon pool, outdoor entertaining spaces, landscaped podium garden, and a flexible indoor communal pavilion suitable for social gatherings, working from home, or quiet study.

Wainwright said buyer interest has been strong in the lead-up to the release.

“We are witnessing demand from both existing purchasers waiting for this collection and new buyers who value lifestyle, space, and quality. The express ferry to Barangaroo in just over 20 minutes, means residents can avoid traffic altogether, it is a key drawcard for busy professionals.”

When completed in 2030, Sanctuary will comprise around 2,000 homes, integrated parks, new public spaces, retail, and direct access to the future Parramatta Light Rail, helping transform <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developments/wentworth-point-nsw-2127">Wentworth Point</a> into one of Sydney’s most connected waterfront communities. Residents are expected to move in by mid-2026.

<hr />
Design-driven developer <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developers/angle">ANGLE</a> has reached two significant milestones with its recently unveiled Kew residential development, Fernhurst.

First, they have secured funding from ANZ, making it one of the few new residential developments in Melbourne backed by a Big Four bank. With financing in place and a significant percentage of homes already sold, ANGLE has appointed high-end builder <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/builders/coben">COBEN</a> to deliver a mix of apartments and freestanding houses in one of <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developments/kew-vic-3101">Kew's most coveted locations</a>.

COBEN has already begun site works on the rare 4,000 sqm Fernhurst Grove site, nestled in the heart of the leafy Studley Park, where new development is exceptionally scarce.

<a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/fernhurst-kew-11-15-fernhurst-grove-kew-vic-3101">Fernhurst</a> will feature just 18 apartments and three freestanding houses, all privately set one street back from the vibrancy and convenience of Kew Junction.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=138904 project_image_fid=326922]

Fernhurst marks another collaboration between ANGLE, COBEN, <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/architects/edition-office">Edition Office</a>, and <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/landscape-architect/eckersley-garden-architecture">Eckersley Garden Architecture</a>. The same team previously partnered on ANGLE’s Fenwick development in Studley Park, a multi-award-winning project just 700 meters from Fernhurst.

ANGLE prioritizes privacy in its designs. The large size of the site has allowed for generous setbacks, and extensive landscaping has been used to almost conceal the buildings from the streetscape.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=138904 project_image_fid=326892]

Edition Office and Eckersley Garden Architecture worked closely together to ensure that the design and articulation of the buildings complement, rather than compete with, the landscaping. The design highlights a strong connection to nature, with the brick façade seamlessly blending into the abundant greenery. The architecture conveys a sense of permanence, making the buildings appear as if they have been part of the streetscape for decades.

The apartments in Fernhurst feature spacious, open-plan living areas with a minimum ceiling height of three meters, designed to maximize natural light and create a seamless flow between indoor and outdoor spaces. Each of the two and three-bedroom apartments includes lush terraces or courtyards.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=138904 project_image_fid=326884]

True to ANGLE's ethos, the development prioritizes space and quality over density. Despite occupying a full acre site, the apartments are generously sized, with two-bedroom units starting at over 140 sqm—some of the largest two-bedroom apartments available in Melbourne. The three-bedroom apartments offer more than 200 sqm of true indoor-outdoor living space.

The interiors are crafted with a refined and tactile material palette, featuring European oak flooring, travertine tiles, and bespoke timber joinery. Kitchens are equipped with Gaggenau appliances and Brodware tapware, while bedrooms include Molteni&amp;C wardrobes and luxurious wool carpets.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=138904 project_image_fid=326839]

Fernhurst will also feature three unique freestanding houses. Two will be newly built, each with three bedrooms, a home office, four bathrooms, and garages. The third home is a grand heritage property that will be carefully restored and brought into the 21st century with a reconfigured floor plan, all while retaining its original façade.

<a href="https://www.urban.com.au/project-marketer/jellis-craig-projects">Jellis Craig Projects</a> Director Stephen Bowtell is selling Fernhurst, having sold out Fenwick before it completed in 2023.

"Fernhurst offers a rare opportunity for downsizers looking to live in Kew's historic Studley Park Estate," Bowtell says.

"It's not often a development in inner Melbourne combines such natural beauty and privacy, while also being so well connected to everything one of Melbourne's best suburbs has to offer. ANGLE, Edition Office and Eckersley Garden Architecture have come together again to bring what will be another landmark development in Kew for generations to come."

Builder appointed, ANZ funded: Inside Fernhurst, Kew's newest residences

The standard for amenities in new developments has drastically risen over the past decade, shifting from a focus solely on practical functionality to a holistic approach that considers how the entire building can enhance a resident’s lifestyle.

While a prime location provides inherent lifestyle advantages like proximity to dining and retail offerings, developers and architects are increasingly shaping buyer decisions by optimising in-building amenities, offering residents a more comprehensive and convenient lifestyle. This focus has grown exponentially nationwide, driven by evolving resident needs and expectations of prospective buyers.

ASX-listed developer <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developers/lendlease-development">Lendlease</a> prioritised amenity design in its latest <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developments/docklands-vic-3008">Docklands</a> residential offering, <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/ancora-at-collins-wharf-docklands-971-collins-street-docklands-vic-3008">Ancora at Collins Wharf</a>. Ancora will be the third building in the Collins Wharf precinct, a previously underutilised wharf at the end of Collins Street which is being developed into a thriving new community.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=9779 project_image_fid=314802]

The attention to detail starts at the front door, where residents are greeted by a grand hotel-style lobby with triple-height ceilings, providing a distinguished sense of arrival. Each resident at Ancora will have access to concierge services, ranging from accepting deliveries to leisure and entertainment-based services and everything in between.

Collins Wharf aims to enhance the lifestyle of its residents by offering an impressive range of amenities that make living easier through social connection, health, and wellness. To achieve this, they’ve designed not one, but two open-air terraces at Ancora.

Each terrace features spacious alfresco dining areas with barbecue facilities, comfortable seating, beautifully landscaped gardens, and stunning north-facing views of the city and Harbour. These thoughtfully designed spaces are perfect for residents to connect with one another, creating an ideal setting for both casual gatherings and welcoming guests to Ancora.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=9779 project_image_fid=314808]

It’s the same concerted effort to promote social interaction that inspired The Collins Room, a residents' lounge and private dining area that enhances the offering of an inclusive, connected community.

There are many components to a healthy lifestyle. Collins Wharf has also laid an importance to the physical aspect of health and wellbeing. In addition to the social spaces, Ancora also offers a fully-equipped, private gym with water views, a 25-metre indoor swimming pool, spa, sauna, and a steam room.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=9779 project_image_fid=314809]

Beyond what has been included in the building, Ancora benefits from its connected location. Collins Wharf sits at the end of Collins Street, one of Melbourne’s best streets and the cultural heart of the capital. Collins Street is lined with world-class dining, cafes, luxury retail, premium hotels, and major business headquarters. All of the above are just a short walk, or a free tram ride away from Collins Wharf.

Collins Wharf has not just leaned on the convenience of Collins Street to satisfy its future residents. The next stage of Collins Wharf will see over 5,000 sqm of new parkland established to enhance the resident experience by creating a connection to nature, something that is often overlooked in inner-city developments.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=9779 project_image_fid=318937]

Designed by landscape architect <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/landscape-architect/openwork">Openwork</a>, these green spaces incorporate indigenous plantings and will feature fitness stations, play zones, covered seating areas, and open lawns, fostering a sense of community and creating yet another space for Collins Wharf residents to gather without going far from their front door.

Designed by <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/architects/warren-and-mahoney">Warren &amp; Mahoney</a>, Ancora offers 302 one, two, three, and four-bedroom apartments across two different collections; the Waterfront Collection and the Premier Collection, the latter of which offers a range of house-sized living options including skyhomes and townhomes.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=9779 project_image_fid=314797]

Nick Deans, Principal at Warren and Mahoney, describes Collins Wharf as a remarkable example of placemaking, with a design inspired by its unique waterfront location and urban interface.&nbsp;

“In partnership with Lendlease, we’re creating a distinctive precinct that seamlessly blends the vibrancy and amenities of Melbourne’s CBD with the tranquillity of a waterfront retreat. Ancora redefines apartment living, offering world-class amenities and exceptional outdoor spaces, all set right on the water’s edge.'

Construction on Ancora is set to commence later this year, with completion expected in 2027.
