BRISBANE DEVELOPER EXPANDS FOOTPRINT WITH STRATEGIC GOLD COAST ACQUISITION

Long-established Brisbane developer is set to further expand their footprint on the Gold Coast, bringing their reputation for delivering design-led, high-quality residential communities after acquiring a strategic site in the heart of the Health and Knowledge precinct.

Azure has purchased 1.7 hectares at 1 Clarke Street, Southport, settling on the site in Q2-2026 with plans to deliver over 100 luxury residences to the central Gold Coast.

The acquisition comes amid sustained population growth and rising demand for well-located housing within the Gold Coast Health and Knowledge Precinct, one of Queensland’s fastest-growing employment hubs.

“We’re excited to be moving further south on the Gold Coast through this acquisition,” said Trent Keirnan, Founder at Azure.

“Southport is rapidly emerging as a true CBD, underpinned by health, education and innovation.

Securing one of the final residential opportunities within Lumina at the 200 hectare Gold Coast Health & Knowledge Precinct allows us to play a meaningful role in shaping the next chapter of the city.”

The project will mark Azure’s second residential project on the Gold Coast, following the group’s strong performance across Southeast Queensland, with the group delivering over 300 residences within the past year.

Located within Lumina, a purpose-built commercial and innovation precinct, the development will introduce a contemporary terrace community defined by considered design, connectivity and lifestyle.

The architect-designed residences will include a selection of one, two and three bedroom homes, created to provide diverse options to buyers seeking inner-city convenience without compromising on quality or liveability.

“There is a clear appetite for design-led living in vibrant, connected locations like Southport, and this site enables us to respond to that demand in a thoughtful way,” said Mr Keirnan.

Planning and design are now underway, with the project’s sales launch scheduled for the second half of 2026.

Azure already has a strong footprint in Brisbane’s northern corridor, with the Gold Coast site acquisition adding to a growing 2-billion-dollar pipeline of major projects underway.
