The legendary property developer David Devine is delivering two of the country’s most prestigious apartment developments; Royale Gold Coast at the exclusive beachfront strip Northcliffe Terrace in Surfers Paradise and the recently launched Burly Residences on The Esplanade in the elite North Burleigh area.

The $510 Burly Residences and $457million Royale Gold Coast are being developed simultaneously by Mr Devine and his team at DD Living in two of the most sought-after and exclusive beachfront locations the Gold Coast has to offer.

Royale Gold Coast, currently under construction by Hutchinson Builders, and the recently released Burly Residences, are both six-star developments in prime beachfront locations with impressive beach and ocean views, ultra-luxurious architectural and interior styling and premium resort style amenities.

Buyers of prestige property have taken notice. Royale Gold Coast is over 80% sold and sales for Burly Residences have been coming in thick and fast since the team launched their second six-star residential lifestyle development to the market in September.

The foresight to purchase and develop two prime sites on Gold Coast’s beachfront into six-star private apartment residences came from Mr Devine’s knowledge of the property industry, gained over the last 30-plus years.

His decision to focus on upmarket residential developments on the Gold Coast was motivated by the strength of the region’s prestige property market, his personal fondness for the area and a deep understanding of Queensland’s development industry.

DD Living assembled a tier one team with the best in the industry to deliver Royale and Burly to an impeccable six-star standard, from the award-winning architects and interior designers to leading project managers and sales and marketing specialists, who collaborated on every fine detail to present and deliver these two world-class apartment buildings featuring an unprecedented level of amenities.

“Having lived and holidayed on the Gold Coast for more than 30 years, I have been fully aware of the potential for the region to become the premium world-class lifestyle destination we are starting to see now,” Mr Devine said.

“We already have sensational weather and lifestyle here, now the timing is perfect with the economic growth ahead brought forth by infrastructure and planning for the Olympics. This is our time to shine.

“The large, prominent beachfront sites that my team secured for Royale and Burly gave us a great responsibility to build two landmark buildings of high distinction for the Gold Coast. The architectural designs and interior treatments are truly exceptional, taking inspiration from some of the world’s most sophisticated and stylish private residences.

“We have gone to great lengths to make sure Royale and Burly’s apartments and amenities meet all the aspirations of high-end beachfront apartment buyers, collaborating with our specialist apartment sales agents TOTAL Property Group on what the buyers want and taking into consideration my own personal preferences for the ultimate beachfront apartment lifestyle.

“It is from my own experience that I have come to understand the importance of the finer details when living and holidaying in an apartment, particularly on the beach, and my team has addressed these and many other important details raised by prestige property buyers seeking the perfect apartment.

“I am proud that Burly and Royale are setting the standard for prestigious beachfront apartments and that they will remain legacies for the Devine family for many years to come.”

Designed by DKO Architecture, leaders in residential design, Royale Gold Coast comprises of 104 premium two, three and four-bedroom apartments across 38 levels, on a prime 2251sqm north-east facing corner block on the prestigious beachfront strip of Northcliffe Terrace, with an unprecedented offering of luxurious six-star lifestyle amenities across the first two floors. Only a limited number of apartments remain, starting at $4.75m for a three-bedroom plus multipurpose room apartment and upward of $16.95m for the full-floor penthouses.

Burly Residences, designed by award-winning Koichi Takada Architects, encompasses 101 prestigious two, three and four-bedroom apartments across 24 levels, with two levels dedicated to extensive six-star resort amenities, planned for a large prominent double site spanning 2024sqm on The Esplanade with 40 metres of frontage overlooking the beach in the exclusive North Burleigh area. Prices start at $2.24million.

Both premium residential developments exemplify exactly what prestige property buyers are asking for in a brand-new beachfront apartment development, says Adrian Parsons of TOTAL Property Group, who is managing the sales and marketing for Burly Residences and Royale Gold Coast.

“David and his team are delivering some of the most prestigious apartments available on the market in Australia. There is nothing else like it, there are just no other beachfront sites with enough land space to provide the range of amenities that DD Living is at Royale and Burly,” Mr Parsons said.

“All the important aspects are there; the prime beachfront locations, spacious and stylish apartments with ocean and beach views and six-star resort amenities that include a concierge. These are just a few of the highly desirable features on the wish list of apartment buyers.”

“Royale is over 80% sold and Burly is receiving strong market acceptance due to the premium quality of apartments and amenities as well as the confidence in David’s reputation as a leading developer with an extensive history.

“Royale is already under construction and David’s long relationship with Hutchies will see the reputable construction company appointed to build Burly Residences also. This gives intending buyers a strong level of comfort knowing the quality of both the developer and builder delivering the projects.

“Genuine communities are being created by DD Living in Royale and Burly and we have had the pleasure of arranging special buyer events to bring neighbours together before the buildings are even constructed.”

Burly Residences and Royale Gold Coast feature two whole floors of six-star resort and lifestyle amenities with swimming pools, sun beds, barbecue areas, pool deck, casual and formal dining, kitchen, bars, private office space, an executive lounge and wellness centre with gymnasium, steam room, sauna and designated space for yoga, Pilates and Peloton workouts.
