Construction at the $540 million Burly Residences development at North Burleigh has reached a major milestone, with all basement levels now complete and the project officially rising above ground, marking a key transition from foundation works to vertical construction of one of the Gold Coast’s most prominent beachfront developments.
The completion of the multi-level basement structure signals the end of an extensive excavation and foundation program and paves the way for vertical construction to commence on the 25-level tower, which will deliver 101 luxury apartments overlooking North Burleigh Beach.
Construction is now advancing toward the delivery of the project’s two full levels of six-star, world-class wellness and lifestyle amenities, a standout feature that sets Burly Residences apart.
The amenity will comprise magnesium pools, hot and cold plunge pools, spa and sauna facilities, a fully equipped gymnasium, private cinema, executive lounge, and dining and entertaining spaces, positioned to maximise ocean outlook and support long-term owner-occupier appeal.
Located at 264–268 The Esplanade, the development occupies a 2,024 square-metre site with a rare 40 metres of beach frontage, positioning it as the largest beachfront landholding on the quieter end in North Burleigh.
Burly Residences is being delivered by leading Australian developer David Devine and his team at DD Living, who have assembled a leading design team, including internationally acclaimed Koichi Takada Architects, with interiors by Mim Design.
With construction undertaken by Gowdie Management Group, the milestone marks the transition from below-ground works to the building’s visible emergence along the coastline, as the structure begins to rise above ground.
Founder and Managing Director of DD Living, David Devine, said the completion of the basement works marked a significant project milestone, with the basement and slab forming the structural base of the tower and representing one of the most technically complex phases of construction.
“This is one of the most important stages in the construction process, as it lays the foundation for the entire building, with completion anticipated in Q4 2027.
“Completing the basement structure is a major achievement for the project team and allows us to now move into the next phase, where Burly Residences will begin to rise above ground and take shape along the beachfront.
“The Gold Coast continues to demonstrate strong underlying fundamentals, particularly in periods of geopolitical uncertainty. Our vision for Burly Residences has always been to create a benchmark beachfront address defined by design integrity, quality and long-term appeal, offering security and confidence for buyers seeking a safe and considered investment,” Mr Devine said.
Rising 25 levels, Burly Residences will comprise a collection of two, three and four-bedroom apartments and penthouses designed with a focus on space, privacy and connection to the coastline, with large open-plan living areas and generous balconies oriented to maximise ocean views.
Extensive balcony spaces are a defining feature of Burly Residences, extending to more than 100 square metres in larger three-bedroom configurations, reflecting a design approach tailored to owner-occupiers and high-net-worth buyers seeking larger-scale residences.
TOTAL Property Group Managing Director, Adrian Parsons, said the milestone marked a key inflection point for both construction progress and sales performance at Burly Residences.
“Reaching ground level is a critical construction milestone, as the project transitions into vertical build and the structure becomes more visible to the market.
“It comes as more than half of the Burly Residences, 101 apartments have been secured, reflecting sustained demand for large-format, design-led beachfront residences in tightly held locations such as North Burleigh.
“Buyer demand has been led by high-net-worth owner-occupiers, entrepreneurs, and executive-level professionals, typically aged between 40 and 60, seeking larger residences with strong lifestyle and long-term investment fundamentals.
“These buyers are prioritising space, ocean frontage, privacy and high-quality design, along with extensive integrated wellness amenities, which is reflected in the continued demand we are seeing at Burly Residences.
“Approximately half of purchasers are from Queensland, with a strong proportion from the Gold Coast, alongside buyers from Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne, highlighting both local confidence and sustained interstate demand for premium beachfront product.
“The Gold Coast has recorded sustained residential price growth over recent years, supported by population growth.” Mr Parsons said.
Burly Residences’ collection of luxury two-bedroom residences ranges from 96sqm, including 20sqm balconies, priced from $2.48 million, with options for large floor plans incorporating multipurpose rooms available within the Skyhome Collection, priced from $7,462,370, featuring spacious layouts designed to capture the essence of relaxed beachfront living.
The Burly Residences Sales Gallery is located upstairs in the North Burleigh Surf Life Saving Club at 293 The Esplanade, North Burleigh, Gold Coast and is open daily.
