Not enough housing to meet demand.

That's the state of the market in the Gold Coast, where the lack of activity in the new development space is a growing concern for the coastal hotspot that is still seeing surging population growth following a boom during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Real Estate Institute of Australia spokesperson, Andrew Bell, said the unprecedented demand for properties on the Gold Coast is unlikely to ease.

“It is simply an equation of supply and demand,” Bell said.

“What has happened, particularly post-COVID, has been a significant transfer of wealth from other parts of Australia including <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developments/melbourne-vic?sort=">Melbourne</a> and <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developments/sydney-nsw?sort=">Sydney</a>.

“During the pandemic, there was an increase in divorces, downsizing and simply relocation. We are also seeing a lot of high-wealth people, with the capacity to pay higher prices, moving to Queensland. In <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developments/surfers-paradise-qld?sort=">Surfers Paradise</a> and <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developments/broadbeach-qld?sort=">Broadbeach</a>, 24 per cent of sales have been cash purchases.”

Bell said while this was a major positive for the state, and a “coming of age” for Queensland, this northward migration had resulted in a decline in affordability for many buyers and renters.

“We don’t have enough properties to meet the huge influx of residents, especially workers who will contribute to strong economic growth.”

Despite the lack of new supply in the market, there were several development applications submitted to the <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/gold-coast-qld">Gold Coast</a> City Council in April.&nbsp;

Of course, these projects won't be realised for several years, with the approval phase, marketing, and then the build generally making the lifespan of a new development between three to five years, depending on density and the speediness of the approval process.

We've wrapped up the top three apartment developments that went through council in April.

Every new apartment development planned across Gold Coast in April

Luxury apartment developments on the Palm Beach beachfront are continuing to stack up.

The latest play is by Sydney-based developer Chanine Developments, who secured a large site across 1407 Gold Coast Highway and 402-404 The Esplanade through site amalgamation specialists GV Property Group.

Chanine, led by Marwan Chanine, has now lodged plans for a boutique eight-level building with 15 half-floor apartments and a massive five-bedroom penthouse.

Chanine said the vision&nbsp;is to bring the opulence of the Eastern Suburbs to Palm Beach, in both finishes and aesthetics."

"The team are consistently looking across the entire eastern seaboard, and we've always loved Queensland," Chanine said of their first project outside of New South Wales.

"We're not building anymore coastline, so there's always value on the water."

<img alt="Channine" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="c75fd86b-ddce-448b-8e35-895604ab97b7" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screen%20Shot%202024-04-22%20at%204.39.02%20pm.png?VersionId=zdlWU4_X0xdrUxJ9fLIk_a7mV9mQIwvi" />

Chanine had been working on securing the site for over a year. They're building the apartments on the 824 sqm The Esplanade site which has a 20 metre frontage. They will landbank the site fronting the Gold Coast Highway if a future development opportunity arises.

There will be 16 apartments in the building which has been designed by CDArchitects. The 15 three-bedroom apartments will sit beneath a massive 354 sqm, five-bedroom penthouse with its own&nbsp;rooftop pool, barbecue kitchen and alfresco space.

CDArchitects said the&nbsp;architectural concept draws inspiration from the dynamic interplay of shifting sands and ocean waves.

"Emulating the sinuous movements found in nature, the design manifests in a curvilinear facade that echoes the undulating contours of both sand dunes and waves."

They said the&nbsp;apartments themselves offer a superior level of luxury, boasting spacious interiors and uninterrupted sightlines to the beach and coastline.

"Far from imitating past architectural feats, the proposed building aspires to establish itself as an iconic landmark along the coastline, setting a new standard for design innovation and coastal living."

<img alt="GV Palm Beach" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="b47dd4ce-9fc6-4128-986d-110db066a258" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screen%20Shot%202024-04-22%20at%204.38.57%20pm.png?VersionId=y4ALTq055_MU5Wgcg6pnUfQ6iLLkhQvj" />

There will be two basement levels with&nbsp;55 parking spaces and 18 bicycle spaces, as well as resident amenity on the ground floor in the form of a pool and spa.

GV Property Group's Luke Reaby&nbsp;says they're seeing an influx of developers coming back into the market following a slight lull in the market in 2023.

"Stock has dried up and record revenues are being achieved every week in the off the plan market," Reaby says, adding that the record revenue have assisted in beachside projects becoming more viable."

As for Palm Beach, where GV has sold seven sites in the last 18 months and their 17th in Palm Beach, Reaby says it's arguably one of the most demanded suburbs on the coast.

"Plenty of new development has and will continue to occur in and around Palm Beach which will result in a really vibrant neighbourhood."

<img alt="GV Palm Beach" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="db5f00df-3b86-4555-8ead-1eab0fab94a7" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screen%20Shot%202024-04-22%20at%208.56.35%20am.png?VersionId=.OFRvI4eADMux8KKING7Fc8SRxWkd.1M" />

Chanine has around $1 billion worth of development in the pipeline across New South Wales and now Queensland.

Their main focus in Sydney is a 4,595 sqm site they have in Bellevue Hill where, subject to council approval, they'll be launching 36 three and four-bedroom apartments later this year.

The apartments will be spread across a trio of buildings at 186-192 Old South Head Road, on the corner of Banksia Road near where Bellevue Hill meets Bondi Beach.

Family owned and operated developer Chanine Developments took to <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developments/rockdale-nsw">Rockdale</a> village for their latest apartment project, <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/buildings/the-wave-380-princes-highway-rockdale">The Wave</a>.

The <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/buildings/the-wave-380-princes-highway-rockdale">Princes Highway building</a> comprises 35 one, two, and three-bedroom apartments.

The curvilinear design of <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/buildings/the-wave-380-princes-highway-rockdale">The Wave</a> pays homage to its water view setting, with the wave-shaped balconies adorned with crackled tiles, mirroring the natural texture and landscape.&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=6207 project_image_fid=158253]

Designed by CD Architects, the interiors have been curated to provide a quiet and private cocoon, with the glass-wrapped living spaces flooded with dappled light that filters through privacy screens, inspired by the alfresco crackled tiles and local organic forms.

The apartments at The Wave feature curved balconies that invite outdoor entertaining, providing a platform to showcase bay, village, or harbour views. The stone-topped kitchens feature sleek, flat panel cabinetry, Smeg appliances, and glass splashbacks that reflect the vistas on offer, coupled with a palette combining earthy tones with crisp whites. European oak-style floors, travertine bathroom features, and spacious proportions bathed in natural light complete the apartments interiors.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=6207 project_image_fid=158263]

Inside the completed Rockdale apartment development The Wave

First home buyers have been snapping up apartments in The Wave, the newest address in Sydney's Rockdale.

The Wave at&nbsp;376 Princes Highway, Rockdale, around 15 kilometres south of Sydney, is being developed by the veteran property development firm Chanine Developments.

The eight-level, CD Architects-designed block of just 35 apartments has been a hit with first home buyers who took advantage of the HomeBuilder grant prior to the end of March, as well as the first home buyer stamp duty concessions.

There are now only around 10 apartments left.

Ziad&nbsp;Chanine, the managing director of CD Architects,&nbsp;said the location of The Wave,&nbsp;positioned at the entry gateway into Rockdale town centre, dictated its unique design.

"We felt it fitting to design a building which would welcome you into the town centre upon approach as well as creating an identifying landmark in the region," Chanine said.

"We embarked on the creation of something not of the normal order of apartment development in the region and the feedback has been tremendous."

Chanine said inspiration came from iconic buildings like the North Bondi Surf Life Saving Club.

"The design employs a flowing, curvilinear form to create an attractive architectural built element whilst angling balconies to capture views and vistas of Botany Bay through to Sydney CBD skyline.

"The crackled tiles are an eye catching element along the wave-shaped balconies, reflecting the natural texture and landscape.

Most apartments left are priced under $800,000 which means first home buyers won't have to pay stamp duty for one or two bedroom apartments.

One bed apartments are priced from $595,000, two bedrooms from $690,000 and three bedrooms from $870,000.

Haus Agency director Alex Vrisakis said the development offers all the comforts buyers need in a first home, but is also attractive for the downsizer from a large family home.
