Pescado is more than just a residence - it is a sanctuary, a dream home and a legacy that embodies the transition from chaos to calm. Nestled on the exclusive Jefferson Lane in Palm Beach, Pescado is a thoughtfully designed retreat comprising just seven full-floor residences, including the private home of Chloe and Paul Fisher. Inspired by iconic coastal architecture and global luxury, Pescado seamlessly blends modernity, functionality and livability. Designed in collaboration with BDA Architecture, and brought to life by Pezet Matheson, Pescado is an architectural statement - a reinterpretation of the Gold Coast vernacular, blending timeless appeal with modern sophistication. Positioned mere steps from the pristine sands of Palm Beach, Pescado offers a secluded escape while remaining highly connected to local dining, lifestyle and wellness amenities. This is a place to slow down, exhale and truly feel at home. “THIS IS NOT JUST ANOTHER LUXURY DEVELOPMENT – IT’S A HEARTFELT ONE. WE’RE NOT JUST BUILDING THIS PLACE AND LEAVING, IT’S OUR FOREVER HOME” - Chloe &amp; Paul Fisher

Pescado, Palm Beach - 228-230 Jefferson Lane, Palm Beach

International DJ Paul Fisher and wife Chloe put a significant emphasis on health, balance, and calm, as much as they did architectural excellence when planning their maiden new Gold Coast apartment development.

The result is <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/pescado-palm-beach-228-230-jefferson-lane-palm-beach-qld-4221">Pescado</a>, just seven luxury apartments designed in collaboration with renowned <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/architects/bda-architecture">BDA Architecture</a>.

For the Fishers, who will retain the two-level penthouse, Pescado is a deeply personal undertaking shaped by their commitment to health and wellbeing.&nbsp;

“Looking after our health and wellbeing is essential for us, it keeps us grounded and connected,” Fisher said.&nbsp;

“Anyone who knows me knows that wellness plays a huge part in my daily life, whether it’s training, surfing, breathwork, or recovery sessions.&nbsp;

“We wanted Pescado to capture that same feeling: a place that brings an immediate sense of calm, while offering real tools to support your wellness journey, from the ice baths to the gym and beyond.&nbsp;

“This is a home designed to help people feel their best every single day, with nature right on the doorstep.&nbsp;

“Whether it’s peaceful walks on the sand, early morning surfs, or heading into the hinterland for hikes and swims in Currumbin and Tallebudgera’s waterfalls, it’s these simple, grounding rituals that shaped the vision for Pescado.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=149651 project_image_fid=342045]

Wellness features are woven through Pescado’s design, including a resort-style pool, state-of-the-art gym, cold plunge pools, and peaceful BBQ and dining spaces – all designed to foster relaxation, vitality, and connection.&nbsp;

Chloe Fisher, who led the interiors, said functionality and wellness have been paramount in every design decision.&nbsp;

“It’s about creating a home that makes you feel good every day,” said Mrs Fisher.&nbsp;

“We’ve thought carefully about how each space works, not just how it looks – using organic textures, neutral tones, and premium appliances to ensure every detail contributes to a sense of ease and comfort.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=149651 project_image_fid=342044]

Each residence features three bedrooms, a multi-purpose room, and three bathrooms, with expansive open-plan layouts, generous outdoor areas, and high-end finishes that blend elegance with liveability. Kitchens are fitted with Gaggenau appliances, offering the ultimate in performance and precision, reinforcing Pescado’s commitment to quality at every level.&nbsp;

Darren Greenaway, Director of BDA Architecture, said the building’s wave-inspired design reflects the journey from energy and movement to calm and restoration.&nbsp;

“Our goal was to create a building that immediately evokes a sense of peace,” Greenaway said.&nbsp;

“From the soft, flowing forms of the façade to the light-filled interiors, every element is designed to provide residents with a true sanctuary.”&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=149651 project_image_fid=342041]

The collaboration between YLB Property Development and local builder <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/builders/hnkn">HNKN</a> ensures construction will progress smoothly, with a focus on craftsmanship and attention to detail.&nbsp;

Sales are being managed exclusively by Pezet Matheson, with construction expected to commence later this year.&nbsp;

Jayde Pezet, Managing Director of Pezet Matheson, said Pescado is already attracting significant interest from buyers who are increasingly prioritising wellness and lifestyle in their property choices.&nbsp;

“We are seeing really strong early momentum for Pescado, which reflects the growing demand for homes that offer more than just luxury finishes,” said Pezet.&nbsp;

“Buyers today want spaces that genuinely enhance their quality of life, and Pescado delivers that through its thoughtful design and wellness focus.”&nbsp;

Wellness takes centre stage as Pescado ignites buyer demand in Palm Beach

There arguably hasn’t been as much national—or even international—fanfare for a Gold Coast apartment development as there has been for the recent launch of <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/pescado-palm-beach-228-230-jefferson-lane-palm-beach-qld-4221">Pescado</a> in Palm Beach.

The project is being undertaken by international DJ Paul Fisher and his wife Chloe. The couple, who have just launched YLB Property Development, intend to make the two-level penthouse their base when they’re back in Australia.

The remaining six levels will each comprise a full-floor apartment, set behind a striking curved facade by locals BDA Architecture.

Beyond the fanfare of the launch, genuine interest in the apartments has been strong, according to <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/project-marketer/pezet-matheson">Pezet Matheson</a> Managing Director Jayde Pezet.

"Buyers may have been alerted to the project because of the broader-than-usual media coverage it received at launch, but genuine buyers look beyond that and recognise the level of finish and detail," Pezet says.

While enquiries have come from both local and interstate buyers, it's locals who are showing the most interest.

"Everyone on the Gold Coast loves Palm Beach, and Jefferson Lane is the best street in the suburb," Pezet says.

I recently caught up with Jayde to discuss the project in more detail.

“With this project being so important to Paul and Chloe, and being what they refer to as their forever home, they’ve looked at it and gone, ‘We are going to make this project within code.’”

The result is a low-density, high-amenity development that emphasises lifestyle and spatial quality rather than volume.

Each of the six full-floor residences spans around 325 sqm and have three bedrooms, an MPR, ocean-facing balconies, and interiors inspired by the Fishers' global travels.

All residences have access to a suite of wellness-focused communal spaces, including a pool, gym, and cold plunge facilities - features reflective of the Fishers’ personal lifestyle, which Pezet describes as “heavily wellness-oriented.”

“They're both incredibly into wellness - they eat super clean, they exercise, they ice bath - and you'll see that as a reflection in the project's amenity but also in the way they live their life,” he said.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=149651 project_image_fid=342046]

With prices ranging from $5.25 million to $7.1 million, Pescado is targeting a narrow but clearly defined buyer pool.

"We've still had an incredible amount of interest from baby boomers, but there have been younger people that have been inquiring also," said Pezet.

A "passion project" not to be repeated: Inside DJ Fisher's Pescado Palm Beach with Jayde Pezet

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.

With the G:LINK light rail set to extend all the way to the Gold Coast Airport, suburbs like Burleigh Heads, Palm Beach, and Bilinga are becoming some of the most connected—and desirable—beachfront locations in the country

The Southern Gold Coast is about to boom — here's why

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=342040]

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.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=149651 project_image_fid=342042]

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=342044]

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=342048]

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.”
