Burleigh Heads, once a laid-back coastal enclave, is rapidly emerging as one of Queensland’s premier destinations for luxury apartment living.

With more than $5 billion in residential, commercial, and infrastructure projects underway, this southern Gold Coast suburb is experiencing a transformation that blends natural beauty with sophisticated urban development.

A significant contributor to this evolution is the surge in apartment investments, driven by escalating demand and impressive returns.

Recent data shows that apartment prices in Burleigh Heads have risen by 9 per cent over the past year. This upward trend underscores the suburb’s appeal to both investors and owner-occupiers seeking a blend of lifestyle and profitability.

Central to Burleigh Heads’ allure is its unique lifestyle offering. Residents enjoy pristine beaches, a vibrant dining scene, and a passionate sense of community. The suburb’s charm lies in its ability to offer a relaxed coastal atmosphere while providing the amenities and conveniences of urban living.

At the forefront of Burleigh Heads’ luxury apartment boom is One Burleigh, a boutique development by MAYD.

Located at 88 The Esplanade, this project includes 16 full-floor residences, each offering expansive oceanfront views and unparalleled privacy. Construction has started, with completion expected in Summer 2026/27.

The apartments feature four bedrooms, three bathrooms, two powder rooms, a private office, and a media room with a bar, spanning up to 381 square meters of indoor and outdoor living space.

Pricing for the remaining residences starts from $9.05 million, reflecting not only the premium quality and design of the apartments but also the growing demand for luxury coastal living in Burleigh Heads.

MAYD’s commitment to exclusive, boutique developments is clear in One Burleigh’s design and amenities. The project emphasises meticulous craftsmanship and a harmonious blend with the natural surroundings. Wellness amenities rivalling global retreats, including spa facilities and a grand lobby lounge, further enhance the living experience.

MAYD distinguishes itself in the luxury development landscape through its unwavering commitment to exclusivity and a deep understanding of the premium market’s evolving desires. Unlike developers who prioritise volume, MAYD focuses on “carefully chosen, handcrafted projects,” ensuring each development is a bespoke masterpiece tailored to its environment and clientele.

MAYD’s Director, Todd Mould, emphasises the company’s dedication to creating sanctuaries that offer more than just a place to live. “One Burleigh is more than a residence; it’s a sanctuary that offers an exclusive lifestyle experience,” Mould said. He further notes the resilience of high-quality real estate investments, especially in times of economic uncertainty, highlighting the enduring value of such tangible assets.

This approach underscores MAYD’s unique position in the market, delivering developments that are not only architecturally and aesthetically superior but also aligned with the lifestyle aspirations of discerning buyers.

Early buyer interest in One Burleigh has been strong, with more than 50 per cent of apartments already under contract.

The success of One Burleigh reflects a broader trend in Burleigh Heads, where luxury developments are meeting the growing demand for high-end coastal living. As the suburb continues to evolve, it stands as a testament to the potential of combining natural beauty with thoughtful, innovative development.

Artificial intelligence is rapidly reshaping business, investment and competitive advantage, and now Australia’s property industry is being told it cannot afford to sit on the sidelines. 

International keynote speaker and AI strategist Justin Kabbani will headline the Kanebridge Property Summit at RACA Sydney on June 18, bringing rare insight into how forward-thinking property professionals can use AI to move faster, make smarter decisions and gain a serious edge in an increasingly competitive market.

Tickets to the exclusive summit are already selling fast. 

Having worked with global brands including Uber, PepsiCo, Mattel and Destination NSW, Kabbani has become one of the leading voices on how businesses can turn AI from a buzzword into a genuine commercial advantage. 

Known for his high-energy and highly practical presentations, Kabbani cuts through the hype surrounding AI and focuses on what actually matters: productivity, growth, leadership and real-world business results. 

His keynote will explore how AI is already transforming industries globally, and what property developers, investors, agents and business leaders need to understand now to avoid being left behind. 

Importantly, the session is designed to be practical, not theoretical. 

Attendees will hear how AI can be applied across marketing, sales, operations and decision-making to improve efficiency, sharpen strategy and create new competitive advantages in a rapidly changing business environment. 

The summit will also feature an exclusive roundtable bringing together leading property and finance experts for a candid, off-the-record Q&A exploring the forces shaping investment, development and wealth creation across Australia’s prestige property market. 

The event follows the success of last year’s sold-out summit and will once again be hosted by respected MC John Alten. 

With AI becoming one of the biggest disruptors facing business, the June 18 summit is expected to attract strong interest from property professionals, investors and business leaders looking to stay ahead of the curve. 

The followings are included in every ticket:

  • Full access to keynote sessions and the interactive roundtable.
  • Premium selection of canapés and beverages throughout the evening.
  • Complimentary annual digital subscription to two leading publications (Wall Street Journal and Kanebridge Quarterly), providing essential coverage of local and global markets, property trends and investment strategy.
