18 Mary Avenue is a 48-storey residential tower on Mary Avenue in central Broadbeach, on the Gold Coast, developed by Abedian & Co. It holds 112 residences, serviced by three high-speed private lifts, and is scheduled for completion in late 2030.
The building stands one block from Kurrawa Beach and faces the open playing fields of Broadbeach State School. The collection runs from two-bedroom oceanfront apartments through to three and four-bedroom residences, sub-penthouses and multi-level penthouses. Pricing changes as residences are released, so for current prices and availability, see the 18 Mary Avenue listing or ask our team for the latest release.
Where 18 Mary Avenue sits in Broadbeach
Broadbeach is the Gold Coast's central dining, retail and entertainment district, and the tower sits at its southern edge, close to the beach and the tram line. These are measured distances from the building:
- Broadbeach State School: 100m · 1 min walk
- Broadbeach South G:link Station: 200m · 3 min walk
- Oracle Boulevard Dining Precinct: 500m · 6 min walk
- The Star Gold Coast & Casino: 500m · 6 min walk
- Kurrawa Beach & Surf Club: 600m · 8 min walk
- Pacific Fair Shopping Centre: 600m · 8 min walk
- Broadbeach North G:link Station: 800m · 10 min walk
- Mermaid Beach & Surf Club: 800m · 10 min walk
- Pindara Private Hospital: 5.0km · 8 min drive
- The Southport School (TSS): 5.8km · 9 min drive
The listing gives the distance to a patrolled beach at Kurrawa as 200m. Between the tram stop, the dining strip and Pacific Fair, most daily errands sit within a short walk, which is the main reason Broadbeach appeals to buyers who want to live without a car for much of the week. Our Broadbeach prestige apartment guide covers the wider suburb.
Schooling sits at both ends of the scale. Broadbeach State School is directly beside the building, and The Southport School is 5.8km · 9 min drive away. Pindara Private Hospital, 5.0km · 8 min drive, is the hospital measured for the project. Walking to the tram, the beach or a restaurant on Oracle Boulevard takes between three and eight minutes on the measured routes above.
The tower and its architecture
Abedian & Co is led by Dr Soheil Abedian, founder of Sunland Group, and his son Sahba Abedian. The listing credits the Abedian family with Q1, Palazzo Versace and 272 Hedges Avenue, and describes 18 Mary Avenue as the newest residential tower from Soheil Abedian.
The design takes its form from shifting coastal sands and ocean swells, wrapped in a folding, reflective metal facade. With 112 homes across 48 storeys, each floor holds a small number of residences, so apartments are planned around the views and the light rather than packed to a standard floorplate. The listing describes full-height acoustic and thermal glazing and outlooks across the Pacific Ocean, Kurrawa Beach and the Gold Coast hinterland.
The building is described as residential only, with no short-term holiday letting. For a buyer, that is a point to confirm in the body corporate by-laws and the contract, since the by-laws are the document that governs how the building operates.
Residences and finishes
The listed mix includes house-sized two, three and four-bedroom floorplans, half-floor sub-penthouses and multi-level penthouses. Living and dining areas open to deep sheltered balconies, and the planning separates the social areas from the bedroom wings.
The finishes listed for the kitchens are expansive natural stone islands, two-pack cabinetry, integrated Fisher & Paykel refrigeration and Liebherr wine storage, with a Gaggenau suite that includes a 90cm induction cooktop and a pyrolytic oven. Elsewhere the listing names large-format floor tiles, high ceilings with square-set cornices and joinery in satin enamel.
Main bedrooms are planned with custom walk-in dressing rooms and ensuites lined with floor-to-ceiling stone, freestanding baths, wall-hung vanities and designer tapware. Because the building is off the plan, request the final finishes schedule and compare it with what is written into your contract.
Wellness and resident amenities
Amenities occupy two levels. Level 4 is the wellness floor, with a heated outdoor lap pool and sun terrace overlooking the ocean, two sheltered open-air spas, cave-inspired hot and cold plunge pools, a cedar sauna, a steam room, a private treatment room and a yoga studio opening to a garden lawn. The listing also names a fully equipped gym with a dedicated weights room.
Level 5 is the social floor. It holds a resident Club Lounge with a library, a private dining room with a catering kitchen, a boardroom and a boutique cinema. At ground level there is a concierge desk, secure surfboard storage and beach showers for use after a surf.
Shared amenities of this scale are paid for through the body corporate. The listing carries an estimate of $140 to $210 per week in body corporate levies, noted as an estimate only. Final levies are set by the body corporate budget once the building is complete, so ask for the draft budget and read it against the facilities you plan to use. Our body corporate guide explains what the levy covers.
The listing also describes the building as one where the residences are sized for long-term occupation, with generous proportions that give owners the space of a standalone house without the upkeep of a garden. Floorplan sizes, levels and aspects differ by residence, so ask for the plans that apply to the apartments you are considering and compare orientation as well as area.
Buying off the plan at 18 Mary Avenue
Completion is scheduled for late 2030, which gives a long period between signing and settlement. An off-the-plan contract in Queensland includes a sunset clause, the date by which the developer must complete the building, and the rights of each party if that date passes are set out in the contract. Our guide to sunset clauses and your rights covers what to look for, and the off-the-plan stamp duty guide explains how the concession applies.
Overseas buyers need to consider Foreign Investment Review Board rules before signing; our FIRB guide for off-the-plan buyers sets out the process. Have your solicitor review the contract and disclosure statement, and speak with your lender early, since finance for an off-the-plan purchase is assessed closer to settlement.
