The Australian coastline has never been short on spectacular real estate, but Burly Residences is raising the bar on the Gold Coast in more ways than one. With 101 apartments rising 25 levels above North Burleigh’s pristine beachfront, this AU$540 million architectural statement has quickly become the talk of the town among Australia’s property movers and shakers.
Capturing the attention of entrepreneurs and executive-level professionals with 80% of the buyers aged between 40 and 60, Burly Residences marks a fresh chapter in coastal living where breathtaking views, generous spaces and 6-star resort-style amenities blend seamlessly.
“We wanted to create something truly special that coastal Queensland hasn’t seen before,” says David Devine, the developer behind the project. This vision explains why the building has attracted those seeking a beachfront lifestyle where luxury and convenience aren’t just marketing buzzwords.
The tower, designed by award-winning Koichi Takada Architects, claims 40 metres of prime ocean frontage at 264-268 The Esplanade in North Burleigh. Sprawling across a 2024 square metre site, it blends the laid-back coastal vibe that Australians cherish with a level of sophistication typically found in global cities.
While fancy amenities might be par for the course in luxury buildings these days, Burly Residences takes things up several notches with genuine six-star offerings. Two entire floors dedicated to lifestyle facilities would make even the most jaded luxury hotel aficionado sit up and take notice.
The wellness area includes an infrared sauna and steam room, gymnasium with a Peloton room, and a heated spa and ice bath worthy of a luxury retreat. Residents also enjoy a 20-metre heated mineral pool and separate plunge pool (perfect for year-round dips), a stylish bar, entertainment area, and teppanyaki dining room, a private cinema, and an executive lounge and meeting room– because sometimes you need to send a few emails before hitting the beach.
“Burly Residences offers a level of luxury and convenience that’s unprecedented in Burleigh Heads,” says Adrian Parsons, Managing Director of TOTAL Property Group. “It’s for people who appreciate outstanding design and want to wake up to the sound of waves in a location that’s just far enough from the hustle without being isolated.”
The residences span an impressive range of options and price points. Entry-level apartments start from AU$2,405,500, offering a more accessible entry point into the premium development.Â
At the upper end, the Skyhomes Collection features expansive three-bedroom (plus multipurpose room) residences starting from AU$7,302,633, with the single level Penthouses commanding AU$13,895,300. These top-tier homes deliver the space of a luxury house with the convenience of apartment living and views that simply can’t be matched elsewhere on the coast.
In a market where “luxury” often means small but expensive, Burly Residences goes big. The apartments range from 116 to a whopping 743 square metres for the yet to be released double story rooftop penthouses, placing them amongst the largest available on the Gold Coast. In addition to this, each apartment has oversized balconies, as compared to other new developments along The Esplanade – giving purchasers a proper Aussie outdoor entertaining area hovering above one of the country’s most iconic beaches.
The interiors, crafted by the celebrated Mim Design, strike the perfect balance between sophisticated and livable, while landscaping by Thomas Schubel of Landscape Design Group brings plenty of greenery throughout the common areas.
North Burleigh has always been the quiet achiever compared to its famous neighbour. Residents get easy access to Burleigh Heads’ renowned café culture, dining scene and boutique shopping destination. The upcoming opening of Australia’s first Mondrian Hotel nearby only adds to the area’s growing cache as Queensland’s premium coastal hot spot.
“People who choose Burly are like-minded in their appreciation for quality and location,” Parsons notes. In a market where properties often sit empty, Burly has attracted buyers who actually plan to enjoy what they’ve purchased.
With completion forecast for the fourth quarter 2027 and a focus on lifestyle rather than just luxury labels, Burly Residences represents a new era for Gold Coast living. Queensland has always been blessed with natural beauty. Now, with developments like Burly Residences setting new standards in sophisticated beachside living, this stretch of coastline is cementing its reputation as Australia’s ultimate address for those who want the best of everything within reach of their surfboard.
The Burly Residences display is open 7 days at North Burleigh Surf Club– Level 1, 293 The Esplanade Burleigh Heads. Call Total Property Group for more info: 1300 308 398.
