Best retirement housing design for Global Awards shortlisted

LOS ANGELES: The shortlist for the best retirement housing design has been declared.

Over 250 designs have been considered by the awards secretariat. One of the finalists in this category is shown above.

A Gold Coast entrepreneur has shattered Queensland’s apartment price record, paying $30m for an under-construction penthouse after controversial building modifications.

Developer Mayd Group has sold the two-level 762sq m penthouse at One Burleigh, smashing the record of $24m for the state’s most expensive apartment, set in 2023 for a unit in Spyre’s Glasshouse project in the same sought-after Gold Coast suburb.

The One Burleigh off-market sale, which equates to $39,370 per square metre, was handled by Freddie Tehle of PRD Burleigh Heads.

“It’s a two-storey, five-bedroom, five-bathroom penthouse with a five-car garage and private infinity pool,” said Mr Tehle, who declined to name the buyer.

“The buyer gets all the bells and whistles and is able to also make additional variations.”

The Global Award winner will be announced in December in London. (Globals)
