First look exclusive: Gordon Corp team up again with Mathieson family and join booming Palm Beach off the plan apartment market

Gordon Corp has again teamed up with the Mathieson family as they unveil plans for their latest luxury Gold Coast apartment development.

They've joined the hot Palm Beach off the plan apartment market, lodging plans for a nine-level building at 62-64 Jefferson Lane, just one row back from the beach.

The building, designed by Cottee Parker, comprises 47 two and three-bedroom apartments.

The large 2,185 sqm site neighbours the Pavilions Palm Beach retail precinct.

Gordon Corp Sales and Marketing Director Lara Dimond said the vision for the project is to deliver a boutique development with a strong focus on wellness and liveability.

"We have been very deliberate in not pushing scale, or density,” Dimond said.

“The building includes 450 sqm of landscaped green space, equating to 20.6 per cent of the site. This focus on landscape extends to the very heart of the building itself, where a stunning atrium delivers cross ventilation and light throughout the building."

Dimond says the development is a complete lifestyle offering, with the beachfront less than 60m away and the retail and dining precincts on its doorstep.

The apartments start from 115 sqm and range in size to 275 sqm. Private resident amenities have been incorporated on the ground floor. There will be a 15m lap pool with day beds and cabanas, a wellness centre with cold plunge and a hot spa, as well as a sauna and steam room. The wellness centre will also feature a state-of-the-art gym.

Gordon Corp Managing Director, Tim Gordon, said the project was a welcome addition to the group’s growing residential portfolio, which includes the ultra-luxe The Mantaray Marina & Residences – its first project with the Mathieson family - currently under construction on The Spit.

“Luxury isn’t just in the location, it’s in the detail, and we’ve have been able to channel the same elevated design approach from The Mantaray into our plans for Palm Beach,” Gordon said.

“Once this has progressed through the planning process, our intention is to break ground as swiftly as possible.”

Bruce Mathieson jnr. said Gordon Corp and the Mathiesons were aligned in their vision for ultra- luxe living in south-east Queensland.

“We are pleased to partner with Gordon Corp on another luxury project as we continue to redefine what it means to live on the Gold Coast,” Mathieson said.

“This project has outstanding potential and will truly stand out from the rest at its prime Palm Beach location.”

The Mantaray Marina & Residences is being delivered by Multiplex and on track for completion in early 2026. The $300 million project represents the first new development on The Spit since Palazzo Versace, Sheraton Mirage and Mariner’s Cove more than 20 years ago.

It is also the first development to be delivered under The Spit Master Plan.

The Palm Beach apartment market has been running hot for several years, and has recently had another wave of development applications hit the table of the Gold Coast City Council.

Sherpa, one of the most active developers in Palm Beach, has filed plans for Flourish on Sixth which will have 94 apartments. Builder developer 5Point is also doubling down on the suburb, seeking to develop another luxury project on Jefferson Lane.
