Apartment yet to be built shatters Aussie price record – Nine

An Aussie price record has been shattered with the $24 million sale of a penthouse apartment that is yet to be built.
The larger-than-average address in the luxury Gold Coast development, named Glasshouse, broke the previous Queensland apartment price record – set in early 2022 by another penthouse in the same swish complex – by $4 million.
Agent Amir Mian of Amir Prestige did the $24 million deal, representing the developer Spyre.
The tri-level apartment is the result of amalgamating off-the-plan floorplates to create a supersized spread, overlooking the ocean. A showpiece is the main bedroom with 11-metre water frontage. The home also has as a private pool and is akin to a beach house in the sky.
The median price for a unit in Burleigh Heads, according to Domain, is $965,000. This represents a price spike of 66 per cent over five years and 6 per cent over 12 months.
Glasshouse, at 10 Goodwin Terrace, is under construction and setting a stratospheric new price benchmark for apartments on the Gold Coast.
The $20 million apartment is smaller than the $24 million pad, which also has more parking, but will too capture superb views, above the rock pools and waves.
The project is work of design studios bureau^probert and CUSP.
Mian told Nine the architecture is so considered and aligned with the environment that the eight-metre stone kitchen bench is placed so that it appears to be a continuation of the headland, drawing the eye inwards from nature.

"You are quite elevated and your view is like floating into the waves, the rock pools at the front, and the lit-up city in the background," he says.
"You feel like you are part of the surf."
Mian says the north-facing apartment is one-and-a-half times the size of an average Gold Coast house block, in a location which is considered Queensland's equivalent of Sydney's iconic Bondi.
Up the road from Glasshouse is one of Australia's best restaurants, the much-awarded Rick Shores, and hip bars and cafes abound.

Artist renders of the Glasshouse show generously-sized showers with intricate inlaid pebbles, textural stacked marble vanities, fluted glass, vast balconies and a gentle palette that reflects shades of ocean spray.
The look is inspired by the natural forces of its headland-meets-ocean position, including "soft, sub-tropical sunlight", sea air and the waves, Spyre's website explains.
In the past two years, ten properties the development have fetched more than $5 million and six of those changed hands for north of $10 million.
