Spyre amalgamate at Glasshouse Burleigh Heads to create three-level apartment
South East Queensland developer Spyre Group has amalgamated the two final apartments in their record-breaking Glasshouse Burleigh Heads project.
Glasshouse already holds the off the plan apartment record in Queensland, secured when the penthouse sold for $20 million in March last year. Now the Brisbane-based developer, who also hold the off the plan apartment record in the Queensland capital, have put together what were the bottom two apartments in the formerly boutique complex of just three units.
The amalgamated residence will span three levels and have five bedrooms, two living spaces, an additional media room, a full guest suite, a wine room, home office, and a private pool, as well as garaging for six cars.
The master retreat is one of the most striking features, with an 11-metre frontage offering direct ocean views from the private balcony.

Spyre Managing Director Daniel Laruccia said they recognised a gap in the market for an ultra-luxury product in Burleigh Heads.
“The amalgamated residence will provide the functionality of a very large home within a location that is essentially reserved for multi-residential living on Burleigh’s beachfront,’’ he said.
Laruccia said Glasshouse is capable of outshining prestigious large-scale homes in areas such as Hedges Avenue at Mermaid Beach, Noosa on the Sunshine Coast and Byron Bay.
“Glasshouse will stand as an iconic coastal expression, respectful to its origins while boundless in its pursuit of excellence."
Construction started on the project in August 2022, and is expected to be complete in the first quarter of 2024.
The development features glass on its eastern and western sides to capture the panorama of the Gold Coast sands and the Coral Sea.
Designed by architects bureau^proberts with landscaping by CUSP, the residence flows seamlessly from the outdoor courtyard and pool to internal stairs which lead to the living and dining area and kitchen on level one.
Living spaces are designed to establish an immersive ocean-front experience with fluted glass walls creating windbreaks while maintaining unobstructed view lines to the ocean and sky.
The new amalgamated residence has high ceilings, a continuous indoor-outdoor floor finish, and full perimeter layered sheer curtains to provide privacy when necessary.

The kitchen is the centrepiece of the open floor plan. Its focal point is a sculptural island bench forged in stone that repeats the natural headland formations of the beach. Behind it are functional meal preparation areas powered by an induction cooktop, concealed fridges and freezers and a butler’s laundry.
The master bedroom is on level two, offering a truly private sanctuary nestled in the foothills of Burleigh Heads with an expansive view of the Coral Sea. A secondary bedroom, also on level two, contains its own ensuite derived from the striking stone of the master suite.
The guest bedroom is located on the ground floor, featuring its own private outdoor terrace, full- height robes, an ensuite and a study.
