Australia’s apartment development capital: The beachside suburb with 16 new buildings



27 April 2026

Once known primarily as a holiday destination, this suburb has become Australia’s most active apartment development hotspot, according to realestate.com.au data.

Broadbeach is now emerging as one of Australia’s busiest apartment development markets, with 16 new projects currently listed on realestate.com.au.

Located just minutes south of Surfers Paradise, Broadbeach offers a mix of coastal living and everyday convenience. It’s anchored by major drawcards including Kurrawa Beach, The Star Gold Coast, Pacific Fair Shopping Centre and Oasis Shopping Centre, alongside a dense strip of restaurants, cafes and bars that keep the precinct active day and night.

For apartment buyers, the appeal lies in having everything at their doorstep.

Beaches, retail, dining, entertainment and employment are already established, removing the need to wait for future infrastructure or amenity to arrive.

Transport and walkability driving demand

Broadbeach’s appeal is also closely tied to its connectivity. The suburb is serviced by two G:link light rail stations, Broadbeach North and Broadbeach South, providing direct connections to Surfers Paradise, Southport, Griffith University and the Gold Coast University Hospital.
