Alexander &Co. Reimagines Beachfront Luxury at Blonde with $11 Million Penthouse Reveal

Highlife Property Group has unveiled the first look at its $11 million-plus penthouse at Blonde, revealing a striking new interpretation of beachfront luxury by acclaimed design practice Alexander &CO. in Bilinga on the southern Gold Coast. 

The exclusive residence crowns the boutique 19-apartment development, which has already achieved more than $60 million in sales, with 13 residences sold and the entire collection of apartments on the northern side now sold out. 

Designed to bring a new level of sophistication to the Bilinga market, the penthouse combines expansive living and entertaining spaces, bespoke finishes and a private rooftop pool and terrace overlooking the Pacific Ocean. 

Alexander &CO. has approached the interior design with a distinctly residential sensibility, drawing inspiration from Bilinga’s relaxed coastal character while introducing a richer, more layered material palette than traditionally seen in beachfront apartments. 

Pale oak timber floors, textured French-wash walls and sheer curtains create a soft, understated backdrop to the ocean views, while walnut joinery, richly veined stone and sculptural forms add warmth and contrast. 

A striking concrete kitchen island anchors the living spaces, while carefully considered thresholds and anterooms create a sense of discovery throughout the residence. In the master suite, a journey through the dressing room reveals the bedroom and ensuite, where quartzite stone extends across the floors, walls and bathtub. 

Alexander &CO. Associate Aimy Dodge said the design drew on the everyday rituals of coastal living, bringing a distinct sense of place to its expression of beachfront luxury. 

“Bilinga is one of the few pockets of the Gold Coast that doesn’t perform in the same way as other parts of this strip of coastline. It is grounded, authentic and deeply local. 

“We designed the Penthouse around the instinctive rituals of the people who live there; ocean swims before work, coffee on the terrace, arriving sun-faded from the beach, long lunches that become evening drinks and the line between indoors and out quietly disappears,” Aimy said. 

For Aimy, the penthouse brings beachfront luxury to life through exceptional craftsmanship, refined materials and thoughtful design that elevates everyday living. 

“For me, luxury isn’t about being excessive in finishes or design elements that are just for show; it’s about removing friction from the everyday, so living feels effortless,” Aimy said. 

Highlife Property Group Co-Founder and Director James George said the project’s strong sales performance reflected growing demand for premium beachfront residences offering exceptional design, generous proportions and relative value. 

“With more than $60 million in sales and every residence sold to date purchased by an owner-occupier, it’s a strong indication that buyers recognise the appeal of this offering,” James said. 

The development has attracted mostly local purchasers, along with a smaller number of interstate buyers, with six residences remaining available. 

James said the penthouse was conceived for discerning purchasers seeking the privacy and comfort of a home without compromising on architectural distinction. 

“Penthouse buyers have those same expectations, but they’re also looking for something truly distinctive. They want a signature residence that makes an impression, with exceptional design, inclusions and quality, without sacrificing comfort or liveability. Working with Alexander &CO., we’ve created a one-of-a-kind penthouse that delivers at every level,” said James. 

The newly released penthouse is now available for purchase, priced from $11 million. For more information, visit https://blondebilinga.com.au/.
