    GemLife Currumbin Waters: $450M over-50s apartment project approved

    Spotted last week

    GemLife has secured approval for a $450 million low-rise apartment development in Currumbin Waters featuring 205 three-bedroom apartments and a luxury country club across 13.854 hectares, with 70% dedicated to green space. Development expected to launch later in 2026.

    Investor note

    Australia's first 'vertical' land lease community with major scale ($450M valuation, 205 dwellings, 13.8ha site) reshaping over-50s living market. 7.7-hectare public land transfer demonstrates council commitment to area amenity. Represents major demographic-targeted development with resort-style positioning.

    Kora — Beachfront Apartment Tower Approved

    Spotted last week

    798-800 Pacific Parade, Currumbin

    A 4-storey, 7-apartment beachfront development at 798-800 Pacific Parade, Currumbin. The approval survived a Planning & Environment Court appeal brought by around 60 local residents, which was dismissed.

    Investor note

    A contested approval that was upheld on appeal signals the council's and court's willingness to support this style of low-rise beachfront development in Currumbin despite local objection.
