“Residents can rest assured that buying into the low energy, high amenity residences at Kokomo doubles as an investment in the wellbeing of the planet,” developer Brick Stone Developments noted in their plans.

The apartments are nestled amidst a subtropical landscape, which includes meandering walkways and Pandanus and Foxtail Palms. Preserving the established vegetation along the eastern and western boundaries during all stages of development was a focus for the property group, resulting in a private oasis that complements the surrounding environment.

Brick Stone puts sustainability at the forefront of Gold Coast apartment development Kokomo

A Broadbeach Waters resident has amalgamated three apartments in Florian, the popular Surfers Paradise riverfront apartment development by Pacifico Investments.

Peter Kerr, who runs PLK DESIGN, has worked with Pacifico and architect Mode to create what will be a 450 sqm, full-floor penthouse with four bedrooms and four bathrooms.

Kerr's PLK DESIGN recently won the Yacht Interior design award for Best Salon at the International Design Et Al Yachting and Aviation awards, presented in June 2023 at the Cipriani in Venice, so the designer knew what to look for when searching for an apartment.&nbsp;

"As the director of my local interior design studio PLK DESIGN, I am looking forward to fully customising the apartment to exactly what I want," Kerr said.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=7349 project_image_fid=207397]

Kerr said he decided on Florian&nbsp;due to the smaller number of apartments within the building, just 45, compared to a lot of other developments on the market.&nbsp;

"After looking at the quality of other projects the developer and builder have completed, I knew it was the place for me."

The location was a key element for Kerr. The site shares two boundaries with Cascade Gardens and Little Tallebudgera Creek, meaning view lines will never be built out,&nbsp;which is a rarity.&nbsp;

"Its close enough to walk to the beach, but much less busy than the tourist focused area closer to the beach. The pool, gym and barbecue amenities on the rooftop are an added bonus."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=7349 project_image_fid=207395]

Having moved from Melbourne a few years ago, Florian will be Kerr's home base when he's in the Gold Coast. It's also only a short move from where he currently resides on Monaco Street in Broadbeach Waters, meaning he's not giving up his favourite cafe, Coffee Sisters, which he can easily walk to from Florian, or the 40-acre Albert Park lake were he walks his dog.&nbsp;

It's Kerr's first time purchasing off the plan, but he noted the ease of the process.&nbsp;

"I’m downsizing from a large parcel of land, so I’m looking forward to more of a maintenance free lifestyle," he said.&nbsp;

"After spending two of years building my previous house, the ease of purchasing off the plan was too hard to pass up."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=7349 project_image_fid=207399]

The striking modern tower sets itself apart by offering a coveted riverside-facing lifestyle.&nbsp;

Drawing inspiration from the French Riviera, with interiors designed by Coco Republic, the apartments are flooded with natural light, through expansive full-height glass windows and high ceilings, while generously-sized balconies offer&nbsp;panoramic vistas of the river, parkland, and hinterland.

Crowning the 17-storey tower will be a rooftop pool, spa and sauna, offering the perfect setting to enjoy the sub-tropical climate the Gold Coast is renowned for.&nbsp;

Pacifico are soon to start construction on the Monaco Street site, with completion slated for 2025. Pacifico recently responded to buyer demand and tweak some configurations, offering more two-bedroom apartments with multi-purpose rooms.

Belvue Runaway Bay: Embracing the best of coastal living

High-end inner city living in the tightly held precinct of Isle of Capri is now available with the official sales launch of Capri, the first large scale residential project to be developed in the suburb in over 30 years.

The $100 million master planned residential community is located on a rare 1.2-hectare site, the largest (in one line) residential land holding in Isle of Capri.

Featuring strategic dual street frontages onto Salerno and Elliot Street, Capri offers 48 luxury villas accompanied by world-class resort-style amenities set within an exclusive gated community.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=139511 project_image_fid=213454]

NPA Projects Director Andrew Erwin, who has been appointed to market the project, said Capri offers a rare opportunity for people looking for a coveted lifestyle opportunity within the centre of Isle of Capri’s thriving precinct, with the architecturally designed villas now selling from $1.92 million.&nbsp;

“Capri represents the first residential opportunity of its kind to be offered in the popular Isle of Capri precinct in three decades and with such a diverse set of offerings to suit a multitude of buyers it is expected the project will sell fast,” he said.

“The early indications we have received show a high level of interest from buyers seeking to stay local and downsize while others are wanting to upgrade their suburb position and residence to a new dwelling while enjoying the benefits of living in a central location within walking distance to all that the celebrated Isle of Capri precinct has to offer."

“With a selection of two and three-level luxury villas with three and four-bedroom options on offer including multi-purpose rooms and secure double garages the Gold Coast hasn’t seen a luxury inner city residential opportunity like this in a very long time.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=139511 project_image_fid=213468]

Designed by award-winning firm Plus Architecture, the high-end residential project has been curated so that each of the 48 villas emanate their own unique personality, signposted by interior spaces that are warm and welcoming, as well as functional.&nbsp;

Plus Architecture Director Danny Juric was involved extensively with the interior design of the project and said Capri’s offering is unlike any other.

“The story of Capri unfolds as you wander throughout the development with each of the luxury villas designed to be different with a distinct personality reflected in each home allowing buyers the unique opportunity to choose what aesthetic personally resonates with them,” Juric said.

“The layout of Capri radiates from the heart of the development - a central recreational space that provides an element of escapism for residents thanks to an elaborate collection of next level communal facilities that anchor the development perfectly.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=139511 project_image_fid=213456]

While Plus Architecture designed the interiors of the luxury villas to speak harmoniously with the exterior architecture, landscape architecture firm LDG was responsible for designing the development’s exclusive residents-only garden retreat.

It features amazing amenities including a resort-style pool with submerged lounge chairs, an outdoor dining terrace, a lawn terrace, a covered barbecue area and a residents lounge, coupled with tropical palms, canopy shade trees, and lush, tropical-inspired plants.

Residents of Capri will also have exclusive access to an indoor residents lounge area complete with a built-in bar, a dining area, fully-equipped kitchen, electric fireplace, and a large screen television.

Rare Isle of Capri villas launch 

Global design practice Plus Architecture were engaged to design the luxury $130 million Runaway Bay apartment tower, Belvue.

Their design inspiration came from the&nbsp;Belvue’s highly coveted waterfront location, set on the last east-facing high-rise opportunity in the Gold Coast suburb.

"Inspired by the essence of coastal refinement, these luxurious contemporary residences offer timeless design, elegant finishes and breathtaking views," Plus Architecture Director Danny Juric said.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108982 project_image_fid=210143]

"Embodying an opulent aesthetic, the building’s curved form reflects the ebb and flow of the ocean with the façade becoming an extension of its breathtaking location."

The tower design is fully orientated to take advantage of its waterfront location. Each of the 31 full floor apartments feature an atrium dining space, which Juric says will make residents feel they are dining right on the water's edge with the glowing city skyline as the backdrop.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108982 project_image_fid=210145]

"[The atrium will] transform a regular dining party into a cosmopolitan soiree," Juric said.

Each kitchen features a solid island bench carved from Taj Mahal stone, as well as a generously sized butler's pantry and integrated Gaggenau appliances.

There are three bedrooms in each apartment, as well as a multi-purpose room, three bathrooms, and two car spaces.

On offer at Belvue are three villas at the foot of the building, each featuring their own private courtyard.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108982 project_image_fid=210153]

Residents of both the villas and the apartments will have access to Belvue's extensive hotel-like amenity.&nbsp;

There will be a gym next to the main pool, as well as a barbecue pavilion, while past the tower is a second pool, overlooking the water.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108982 project_image_fid=210142]

There's also a sauna and a steam room, as well as poolside cabanas, and a private terrace leading down to the beach.

Prices for the 273 sqm apartments start from $3,545,000. The development-approved project is targeted to be complete by mid-2025.

"Inspired by the essence of coastal refinement" How Plus Architecture designed Belvue Runaway Bay

There were 22 designs penned by Plus Architecture when they were designing Bassar Group's second Broadbeach tower.

The result for Eternity, Plus Director Danny Juric says, is a "sophisticated, grounded building, with a strong, solid, yet delicate base."

The building's slender design, inspired by the interwoven elements that provide strength in nature, will rise 35-storeys at 14-18 Mary Avenue and home 88 apartments, just steps from the beach.

“One must appreciate what a unique landholding this is,” Juric says.

“While you are not on absolute beachfront, the oval in front creates conditions that give the sense that you are, while offering views that will never be built out.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108356 project_image_fid=208982]

Centred around the concept of ‘reaching for the sky’, Juric said height was of critical importance when creating what has culminated in a slender, sculpted design, intended to be as aesthetically pleasing to those viewing it from the street as it is to those who will be living in it.

Surrounded by landscaping and tropical foliage, steel legs intertwine, almost like a basket weave, to form an exoskeleton that draws the eye up to the sky and invites people to form a connection with the building.

Bassar identified a gap in the market for spacious oceanside residences, with the three and four-bedroom apartments set to range in size from 189 sqm through to 214 sqm, while the half-floor four-bedroom skyhomes on the upper levels will boast an expansive 300 sqm of living space.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108356 project_image_fid=209198]

Two four-bedroom penthouse suites will crown the tower, delivering just under 600 sqm of space across two levels. They'll feature four-and-a-half bathrooms as well as three car spaces and a rooftop terrace complete with a plunge pool.&nbsp;

One thing buyers in Eternity can be assured of is that while the apartments offer different aspects, all of them are of equal standing, which Juric said was the one thing that was non-negotiable in the building’s design.

“There are no B-grade apartments in Eternity," Juric adds.

"They have been configured to be only three per floor, so one takes up all the north side of the building, one the south, and the one in the middle, which you would imagine would be the B-grade, is actually much wider than the others and has an enormous frontage.

“It could be considered the pick of the bunch, depending on what view you prefer.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108356 project_image_fid=208984]

Plus took on a coastal colour scheme for the design of the apartments, which reflects the laidback luxury on offer at Eternity. Quality finishes including marble stone benchtops have been incorporated, along with engineered timber flooring, timber veneer cabinetry, 100 per cent wool carpet and Miele appliances.&nbsp;

A host of open-air amenities are set for Eternity, including a wellness centre, pool and wet deck, yoga lawn, gym, residents' lounge and barbecue facilities, which will be elevated above the ground level providing ocean vistas, framed by the foliage of pine trees.&nbsp;

Tropical landscaping and extensive perimeter planting will tie the tower into the sub-tropical lifestyle the Goldie is known for, creating an inviting arrival experience for anyone who enters Eternity.&nbsp;

“Landscaping plays an integral part of the building’s design,” Juric said.

“Imagine the feeling you get when you walk through a rainforest – it’s high oxygen and elevates the spirit, yet you are protected. That’s what we wanted to achieve on the amenity levels of Eternity.”

Bassars' Leo Sarris said they want people to feel a connection to nature the moment they enter Eternity.&nbsp;

“We want people to feel that connection to nature from the moment they step inside the grounds, from the comfort of their living spaces, and from their balconies facing the ocean,” he said.&nbsp;

“Even though Broadbeach is an inner-city suburb, you have this wonderful foreshore and the beach right there on the doorstep.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108356 project_image_fid=208983]

The tower will offer four levels of basement parking, with 177 car spaces planned. There's also keyless FOB entry into the apartments, along with an intercom system, security cameras and an on-site caretaker.&nbsp;

Boasting a prime position along the coast will put residents near to everything Broadbeach and the greater Gold Coast community has to offer, with the Pacific Fair Shopping Centre located just 400 metres away, and a plethora of cafes and restaurants only 300 metres along Surf Parade.

Hutchinson Builders have been tasked with constructing the project, which is slated for completion by early 2026.&nbsp;

How Plus Architecture designed Bassar's Broadbeach apartment tower, Eternity 

The Masthead Ocean Club is set to redefine coastal living in Australia in a&nbsp;creative collaboration between industry leaders formed to deliver an exclusive lifestyle proposition, global in scale and ambition.

Designed by an internationally-renowned team, the Masthead Ocean Club is expected to appeal to the most discerning buyers, with a collection of only 28 whole floor apartments available. These will include a quad-level super penthouse, two dual level sky homes, five sky residences, and 20 further residences, all offering sweeping views of the Pacific Ocean, Broadwater, and Hinterland.

Each whole floor apartment will provide 317 sqm of living space, with picturesque views from every room, private direct and secure lift access, double garaging, luxury interior design, and state-of-the-art technology.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=134759 project_image_fid=212190]

Rory O’Brien, one of the developers of the project, said the creative skills of BDA Architects harnessed with Banda Design London and Melbourne's Mim Design have produced a balance of quality, subtlety, and design excellence.

“The results are world-class and truly spectacular; it has to be seen to be believed,” O’Brien said.

Principal of Mim Design, Miriam (Mim) Fanning and Edo Mapelli Mozzi of UK-based Banda Design Studio, who both possess a longstanding working relationship with O’Brien, were invited to design Masthead’s luxury apartments and shared amenities, which includes the private residents ‘Ocean Club’.

Mim Design has planned each single-level apartment to maximise view corridors of sunrise views over the pacific and sunset views across the hinterland.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=134759 project_image_fid=211816]

When asked about developing a signature language for Masthead’s apartments, design associate of Mim Design Stephen Tieppo said they were inspired by the nearby Southport Yacht Club and superyacht marina, evoking imagery of smooth, streamlined forms, billowing sails and seamless detailing.

“Each detail was carefully considered and customised, similar to the curated design of a luxury yacht,” Tieppo said.&nbsp;

BDA Architecture – who designed the tower’s exterior – have also referenced the luxury yachts dotted along Main Beach to create a one-of-a-kind building unrivalled on the Gold Coast.

A highly articulated facade of white concrete forms and subtly curved blade walls creates a linear expression, with a well-proportioned podium lifting the mass of the building from the ground plane.

Mim Design folded the architecture’s fluted wall panelling and honed crazy paving into the entry lobby, creating an internal courtyard of sorts contrasted by a striking, double-height wall of ocean-green marble.

Banda Design Studio, which are designing Masthead Ocean Club’s five sky residences, two sky homes and one super penthouse, have also ensured the design was relevant to its surroundings, with Head of Banda, Edo Mapelli Mozzi saying context is everything.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=134759 project_image_fid=212192]

“It’s not just the culture of the Gold Coast but the uniqueness of the surroundings that had a huge influence on our design," Mozzi said.&nbsp;

“The East/West axis of the building gives views over the sea, city, hinterland and estuary – four very different topographies – so more than ever the design needed to be relevant to the surroundings.”

Banda designed the kitchen island with a bold, fluidly veined, green sequoia Verde marble that speaks as one with the hinterland and the sea views beyond, whilst the rest of the kitchen is very understated and pared back with travertine and plaster so as not to jostle for supremacy with the views.

The colour palette of the powder room is an unexpected addition to the design that pays homage to the red tones of central Australia. The vanity unit is clad in travertine rossa with a plaster tadelakt in deep burgundy.

“It’s fun and playful, and totally unexpected,” Mozzi added.&nbsp;

Masthead has all approvals in place and construction is anticipated to commence in the coming months with completion scheduled for 2025.

World class team combine to design $250m Masthead Ocean Club

Amalgamated Property Group has fast kicked off construction of its latest apartment development, Amaya, their $160 million tower in Broadbeach.

The project, which is a joint venture between APG and Base Developments is now on track for completion in late 2024. Gold Coast Builders GCB Constructions kicked off the earthworks in December, and started the foundation work in January.&nbsp;

More than 40 per cent of the 120 apartments have sold at Amaya, which will rise on a prime 1214 sqm site at 30 First Avenue on the quiet northern end of Broadbeach.

Nicholas Clydsdale, Senior Director of CBRE Residential Projects, said the combined strength of APG and Base Developments and their ability to commence projects without financial restrictions imposed by lenders, positions Amaya as a rare gem in the current market where buyers are seeking certainty.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=111866 project_image_fid=203516]

“We are seeing a flight to quality in the market and the top priority for apartment buyers at present is certainty of delivery and product quality,” Clydsdale says.

“Both APG and Base have an enviable reputation for project delivery that underpins the success of the many projects they have undertaken on the Gold Coast and nationally.

“The strong financial backbone of these companies has enabled the project partners to progress construction without delay, well before sales targets have been achieved. Our team is anticipating sales will accelerate as Amaya starts to come out of the ground."

Amaya, which is located just 300 metres from the beachfront, will deliver a premier residential address comprising generous floorplans and high functionality to suit downsizers, allowing them to take full advantage of the idyllic coastal lifestyle Broadbeach offers.

Designed by Gold Coast architecture firm DBI Design, Amaya presents a collection of two and three-bedroom residences featuring floor-to-ceiling windows to take advantage of coastal and hinterland views, as well as large balconies, contemporary yet timeless interiors and materials with high-end fixtures to complement a modern lifestyle.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=111866 project_image_fid=205113]

Amaya’s two-bedroom apartments are priced from $935,000 and offer around 100 sqm of living space, while three-bedroom layouts will offer generous living areas of nearly 150 sqm.

A limited collection of half-floor apartments have just been released to the market, from level 27 up. They have over 250 sqm of living space.

Amaya residents will have exclusive access to two floors of state-of-the-art resident-only facilities, including a gym, sauna, steam room, pool, spa, barbecue and patio, all enhanced by green outdoor spaces with resort-style zones.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=111866 project_image_fid=205115]

Amaya has been designed to seamlessly connect residents with all that Broadbeach has to offer, from the beachfront, to the river, restaurants, shops and a G:link light-rail station just 150 metres away offering easy access to Surfers Paradise, Pacific Fair and eventually Burleigh Heads with completion of the next stage which is currently under way.

Among the recent buyers have been Gold Coasters downsizing from large family homes and looking to move closer to the beachfront. Interstate families and couples have also been attracted to the development and its proximity to the array of urban amenities at Broadbeach.

“For many buyers, Amaya is an upgrade from their current home by offering three-bedroom homes with the combination of luxury interior design and spectacular views; it is ticking all the boxes and providing everything they’re looking for,” Clydsdale added.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=111866 project_image_fid=205115]

Clydsdale said many of the&nbsp;interstate buyers have been regular holidaymakers to Broadbeach.

"[They're] looking for a combination of premium amenities and finishes with a quiet location close to the heart of the action.

“Amaya’s generous floorplans and their high functionality have made Amaya a compelling choice for many of these buyers who are quite discerning and want to ensure their beachside home will work for them in reality.”

In 2024 APG will launch <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/affinity-broadbeach-42-46-chelsea-avenue-broadbeach">Affinity Broadbeach</a>, having picked up a <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/news/qld/first-look-amalgamated-property-group-double-down-on-broadbeach-apartment-market-with-raptis-site-acquisition">Chelsea Avenue site from Raptis</a>.

Amalgamated Property Group starts construction of Amaya, Broadbeach apartment tower

A major construction milestone for the second 65-storey tourism tower at The Star Gold Coast has been ticked off, with the top of the 200 room 5-star hotel completed to level 21, which also includes a new luxury pool area and suite of residential amenity.&nbsp;

Joint venture partners The Star Entertainment Group’s Hong Kong-based partners, Chow Tai Fook Enterprises and <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developers/far-east-consortium">Far East Consortium</a>,&nbsp;are delivering the hotel and apartment tower as part of the $2 billion masterplan, with project director Silas Croucher saying the concrete pour of level 21 represents completion of the first third of the tower structure.&nbsp;

“The top out of the hotel is a significant construction marker as the vertical build continues and we remain on track for an end of 2024 completion,” Croucher said.

“The ongoing rise of the 200 metre high tower will be noticeable now as we see the structure rising at approximately one level per week.

“The glass façade installation is also underway and quite visible on the skyline, so it’s exciting to see the new tower starting to take shape."

The internal fit-out of the hotel is also underway, while 475 new car park spaces will soon be opened for public use.

The new five-star hotel will sit above the six-level podium connecting directly to The Star Gold Coast's other resort offerings via a continuation of the ground level boardwalk, a level three retail promenade and the recreation deck.

All 437 of the one, two and three-bedroom residential apartments in the second tower have been sold and are unconditional.

The Star Gold Coast General Manager Hotel and Residences Mark Hodge said The Star is proud of its ongoing investment and job creation in the city and the new tourism amenities, including events and conferring spaces, it is bringing to the region.

“We have mapped out a visionary masterplan and are expanding as a world-class tourism and entertainment destination in one of Australia’s biggest tourism markets,” Hodge said.

“There has been great demand for the new The Star Residences and Dorsett Hotel since opening. And together with The Star Grand and the luxury all suite The Darling the current accommodation options at The Star Gold Coast is well over 1,100 rooms.&nbsp;

“By the time the new tower is complete we will have as many hotel rooms as Marina Bay Sands in Singapore."

Hodge says The Star is well down the green and gold runway with our suite of tourism, events and hospitality offerings as we countdown to the 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games.”

The joint venture partners are also developing the transformational <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/queen-s-wharf-residences-23-margaret-street-brisbane">Queen’s Wharf Brisbane</a> project, which is due to commence a staged opening from December 2023.
