Unit values in the Gold Coast are continuing to grow in 2025.

The latest Home Value Index by Cotatlity (formerly CoreLogic), shows another month of growth in the local unit sector, with values rising 0.7 per cent in April.

Over the rolling quarter, unit prices have increased by 1.8 per cent, reaching a new median high of $849,000. Over the past 12 months, values have risen by 6.3 per cent, reflecting sustained demand and market confidence.

While many national property markets are now benefiting from a declining interest rate environment, the Gold Coast has remained relatively resilient throughout the high-rate cycle. The region’s strong performance has been underpinned by its lifestyle appeal, limited supply of new housing, and continued interstate migration—factors that have consistently supported price growth.

With further interest rate cuts expected, market fundamentals suggest the Gold Coast property market is well-positioned to continue its growth.

<h2 data-pm-slice="1 1 []">What happened in Gold Coast’s off the plan apartment market in April?</h2>

There was plenty of momentum in the Gold Coast’s off the plan apartment market in April, with a surge of new construction starts, tower releases, and planning applications up and down the coast.

Developers continued to target the high-end, owner-occupier market, as well as lifestyle-driven buyers seeking resort-style amenities and beachfront access.

One of the most high-profile launches of the month was <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/pescado-palm-beach-229-jefferson-lane-palm-beach-qld-4221">Pescado</a>, a boutique Palm Beach apartment development from international DJ Paul Fisher and his wife, Chloe.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=149651 project_image_fid=342045]

The $50 million project, designed by&nbsp;<a href="https://www.urban.com.au/architects/bda-architecture" target="">BDA</a> Architecture, will comprise just seven ultra-luxury residences, including a two-level penthouse that the Fishers plan to call home.

Featuring wave-like façades and organic interiors, Pescado is a deeply personal project for the couple and brings a fresh, creative energy to Jefferson Lane.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=149651 project_image_fid=342040]

Each three-bedroom, three-bathroom home will feature expansive open-plan layouts, high-end finishes, and seamless indoor-outdoor living.

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.

In April, Immerse filed for a new 14-level building in the heart of Kirra. The proposed development at Haig Street includes 105 apartments, with a diverse mix of two and three-bedroom floorplans designed to attract both downsizers and part-time residents.

The podium level will house a full suite of amenities, including a lap pool, gym, spa, work-from-home spaces, and children’s play area, underscoring the project's intent to create a balanced, multi-generational living environment close to the beach.

City Beat April 2025: Off the plan activity jumps as Gold Coast units continue growth cycle

The Gold Coast’s beachfront is on track to become the most connected coastal strip in the country.

The existing light rail system, known locally as the G:LINK, currently runs from Helensvale in the north down to Broadbeach South.

Stage three of the G:LINK will soon extend the line further south to Burleigh Heads, while stage four is set to continue the route all the way to Coolangatta and the Gold Coast Airport—a level of beachfront connectivity that even Sydney’s Eastern Suburbs can’t match.

As a result, suburbs like Burleigh Heads, Palm Beach, and Bilinga are expected to become even more desirable than they already are, with improved public transport further boosting their appeal to both buyers and investors.

In this article, we’ve rounded up some of the most exciting new developments across the southern Gold Coast that will directly benefit from the upcoming G:LINK extensions.

“In times of economic uncertainty, tangible assets like high-quality real estate continue to offer stability and long-term value,” Todd Mould, Director of MAYD, said.

Our commitment to delivering exceptional residences like One Burleigh reflects our confidence in the enduring appeal of the Gold Coast’s luxury property market.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=146358 project_image_fid=323056]

“MAYD focuses on carefully chosen, handcrafted projects,” Mould added.

“Every development we take on is selected with intention — where location, design, and quality lead the way. Our ambition is that anyone who buys a MAYD-built product can genuinely feel the care, craftsmanship and commitment we bring to every detail.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=146358 project_image_fid=323052]

The apartments in One Burleigh have been designed by&nbsp;MAS Architecture Studio and will each feature&nbsp;four bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms, and three car spaces. Internal living areas span up to 381 sqm, complemented by generous outdoor spaces, culminating in total floor plans of up to 425 sqm.

Residents will enjoy uninterrupted panoramic ocean views through floor-to-ceiling glass, maximising natural light and sea breezes. The design emphasises wellness, featuring serene coastal landscaping and exclusive access to a residents’ spa and lounge.

“The opportunity to develop such a large beachfront site in North Kirra is a rare one that required a development design of architectural excellence and we are very pleased with the plans that we have created in collaboration with award-winning MAS Studio,"&nbsp;Mould said when the development application was submitted in September 2023.

“The Gold Coast is a world-renowned tourism and lifestyle destination and spots like Kirra are among the most popular with locals and visitors," Mould added.

"Given the site is just 1km from the Gold Coast Airport that is being expanded for extra capacity to attract new carriers and new international and domestic flight connections, we recognised the need for a five-star hotel, as well as private apartment residences, to meet demand from global travellers and people who work remotely.

“With 90 metres of beach frontage, holidaymakers and residents will enjoy sweeping beach and ocean views from their hotels and apartments, enjoying easy access to the white sands of North Kirra Beach, plus it’s only a short stroll to Kirra where there are restaurants, cafes&nbsp;and boutique stores.”&nbsp;

There will be two, three and four-bedroom apartments on offer, many benefitting from multipurpose rooms.&nbsp;

Exclusive to the building's residents will be an array of resort-style amenities including a private pool area with a sunken lounge and wet edge, a relaxation zone with sauna, shower and spa, yoga lawn, bar, barbecue facilities, a lounge and a cinema. Residents are also set to benefit from the hotel's five-star facilities, including a port cochere, valet room and laundry services, as well as the hotel pool, lounges and restaurant.

MAS Studio director and lead architect Nick Symonds said inspiration for the masterplan design of the North Kirra project responded to the large site’s prominent position at the gateway to Kirra.

“From the outset of our design process, we have been aware of the importance of this highly visible site and the obligation to create a statement entrance to Kirra, while at the same time blending in with the surrounding built forms," Symonds said.

“The design is strongly influenced by local context, reflecting the unique beauty of North Kirra Beach and relaxed beachside lifestyle, elevating it with luxury dwellings for those who share the passion of this unique lifestyle and location."

There will be abundant greenery on the podium, which aims to cool the street where a row of beach houses, complete with their own private green courtyards, will provide a residential scaled address to the street.

“The building designs feature deep usable balconies, sunhoods, screens, and an abundance of greenery to compliment South East Queensland’s sub-tropical climate and provide privacy, while expansive windows capture breathtaking views, drawing in the natural light and air deep into apartments," Symonds added.

First look: MAYD approved for North Kirra hotel and luxury apartment development

Queensland property developer MAYD Group is set to bring a $350 million luxury hotel and residential masterplan development to North Kirra, lodging plans for a prime 4,742 sqm beachfront site overlooking North Kirra Beach.

The North Kirra project has been inspired by Kirra and the site’s qualities; the size and location, presenting apartment buyers with a unique and limited opportunity to own a prestige apartment overlooking the beach.

MAYD, led by founder and director Todd Mould, amalgamated&nbsp;eight sites fronting Pacific Parade, Golden Four Drive and Musgrave Street. The plans are for a 160-key hotel room and 60 luxury residences including two penthouses and five unique double-storey beach houses.&nbsp;

“We were fortunate to have been able to acquire eight adjoining sites to create one large beachfront site for our signature masterplan at North Kirra,” Mould said.&nbsp;

“The opportunity to develop such a large beachfront site in North Kirra is a rare one that required a development design of architectural excellence and we are very pleased with the plans that we have created in collaboration with award-winning MAS Studio.

“We have been working with Gold Coast City Council on lodging the development application to deliver a landmark building of high distinction for such a prominent site, keeping the local environment and community front of mind."

Positioned at the gateway to the famous Kirra Beach, Coolangatta and Tweed Heads, MAS Studio designed the 10-storey building at 2-6 Pacific Parade&nbsp;in collaboration with award-winning interior design specialists, Mim Design.&nbsp;

“The Gold Coast is a world-renowned tourism and lifestyle destination and spots like Kirra are among the most popular with locals and visitors," Mould added.

The residences have been designed with the owner-occupier in mind, offering a range of two, three and four-bedroom floorplans, many even benefitting from multipurpose rooms.&nbsp;

MAYD Group lodges plans for premium five-star hotel and residential masterplan at North Kirra Beach

The Queensland-based developers MAYD Group have a growing pipeline of projects across Southeast Queensland, with four boutique residential development applications lodged with the City of Gold Coast.

Making a turn to focus more exclusively on luxury, boutique developments, residences will feature high-end finishes with coastal inspired interiors, shifting their focus to some of the most sought-after coastlines in Australia, like Mermaid Beach, where the group have lodged four multi-residential development applications for.

The Seagull Avenue project will see four full-floor units created, with three-bedrooms and two-bathrooms.

The groups Chairlift Avenue site sits on the corner of Chairlift Avenue and Petrel Avenue, where they will construct eight luxury units, including two lower-penthouses, and an upper penthouse, that will feature a rooftop terrace, alfresco, plunge pool and lounge area.

Designed by Plus Architecture, these units will be three-bedrooms and three-bathrooms, all with basement level car parking.

Alongside landscape design which provides a unique, contemporary, and sophisticated character, the design intends to cater for its residents&#39; modern lifestyle requirements and encourage outdoor living and an active engagement with the beach environment.
