Elan bringing refined coastal elegance to beachside paradise
Developer-builder Level 33 has achieved a new benchmark in Kiama’s prestige property market, securing a record-setting $6 million sale of the penthouse in its exclusive boutique development, Elan Kiama. The result establishes a new apartment price record for Kiama.
Perched on one of the highest points in Kiama, Elan captures sweeping, uninterrupted ocean views and represents a rare offering of refined coastal living in a tightly held enclave. Designed by award-winning PBD Architects, the project embodies a philosophy of timeless architecture, minimalist luxury and an enduring connection to its coastal surrounds.
Comprising just 19 expansive three-bedroom residences and one breathtaking penthouse, Elan has been meticulously curated for those who value privacy, space and sophisticated design. The development is positioned on a quiet street in the heart of Kiama, offering a secluded yet highly connected lifestyle just moments from Surf Beach, Kendall Beach, the town centre, boutique retail and harbourside dining.
The record-setting penthouse spans an extraordinary 468sqm in total, featuring three bedrooms plus study room, each with its own ensuite, as well as a powder room, butler’s pantry, walk-in laundry, built-in bar, fireplace, wine fridge, and a sculptural kitchen anchored by a Taj Mahal-stone island benchtop. Premium Gaggenau appliances further elevate the culinary experience.
A defining feature of the residence is its expansive outdoor living, including three separate balconies, one of which is exceptionally large, alongside a private plunge pool that reinforces the home’s resort-like atmosphere and seamless indoor-outdoor flow.
The purchasers, a local couple who have lived in Kiama for the past 10 years, who wished to remain anonymous, said the decision reflected both lifestyle, design sophistication and location.
“It’s a lifestyle choice. We’re downsizing with elegance,” she said.
“We actually saw the advertising of Elan and saw where they were building, walking past it. We ran into the agent in town and we went and met with him.
“It had to be ocean front. We currently live in a large coastal home which takes in ocean and mountain views which we haven’t decided what we’ll do with just yet.”
Reflecting on what she loves about Kiama, she commented:
“The magnificent views, the sense of community, and the people here make Kiama truly special. It’s a welcoming, caring place. It’s a busy coastal town, but it’s still small. We have access to everything we need nearby in Shellharbour, but Kiama itself has so much natural beauty – the ocean views, the lighthouse, the beautiful harbour, the whales, the mountains.”
She also praised the design and quality of the residence and the development.
“We loved the architecture of it. The beautiful curves. It’s very coastal, modern fixtures, the Gaggenau appliances. Everything they’ve put in it is very considered. It’s very tasteful. We looked at other properties, but nothing compared to it. It was perfect. It ticked all our boxes.”
The local couple who own a business in the Riverina, are looking forward to entertaining and enjoying their stunning new home with friends and family including their grandchildren. “It’s large enough to fit all of us.”
As to what she’s most looking forward to when they can move in, with completion due late 2027.
“A smaller home [than what we have now]. Closer to town. I’ve never lived in a penthouse. I’m really looking forward to living in a penthouse,” she said.
Elan Kiama continues to set a new standard for boutique coastal living, where natural beauty, architectural excellence and lifestyle converge in perfect harmony.
Founding Managing Director, Eddy Haddad said: “We’re incredibly proud of what we’ve created. From day one, the focus has been on delivering a building with exceptional design, quality finishes and homes that people genuinely want to live in. Seeing that excitement reflected in our future residents is what drives us, and it’s rewarding to know people share the same vision and appreciation for the quality we’ve worked so hard to deliver. We believe this will be a building with a real sense of community, where residents feel proud to call it home for years to come.”
