18 Mary Avenue

Commanding a prime beachside position along Mary Avenue in central Broadbeach, 18 Mary Avenue marks the newest residential landmark from Soheil Abedian, founder of Sunland Group and the visionary behind enduring Australian icons including Q1, Palazzo Versace, and 272 Hedges Avenue. Guided by Abedian & Co’s central design philosophy of architecture as art, the 48-storey sculptural tower rises one block from the sand, directly overlooking the open green playing fields of Broadbeach State School. The building’s fluid architectural geometry draws inspiration from shifting coastal sands and ocean swells, enveloped in a folding, reflective metal facade that balances bold contemporary form with coastal serenity. Comprising just 112 residences serviced by three high-speed lifts, the project establishes a rare standard of exclusivity in a strictly residential-only building with zero short-term holiday letting.

Inside, the collection spans house-sized two, three, and four-bedroom floorplans, half-floor sky residences, and crowning multi-level penthouses. Oriented to capture abundant natural light and sea breezes, every home is enveloped in full-height acoustic and thermal glazing, framing permanent, protected panoramas that sweep across the Pacific Ocean, the golden curve of Kurrawa Beach, and the Gold Coast hinterland. Expansive open-plan living and dining zones transition smoothly onto deep, sheltered entertaining balconies designed for year-round coastal living. Thoughtful spatial planning establishes clear separation between social areas and tranquil bedroom sanctuaries, creating refined coastal homes suited to long-term owner-occupiers and downsizers seeking generous proportions without the maintenance of a standalone house.

Interiors showcase understated sophistication defined by authentic, tactile materials and exceptional craftsmanship. Flowing living areas feature large-format floor tiles, high ceilings with square-set cornices, bespoke joinery finished in satin enamel, and rich accents of natural stone. Gourmet kitchens serve as the centrepiece of each residence, appointed with expansive natural stone islands, two-pack cabinetry, integrated Fisher & Paykel refrigeration, and Liebherr wine storage, anchored by a suite of premium Gaggenau appliances including a 90cm induction cooktop and pyrolytic oven. Master retreats have been conceived as private wellness sanctuaries, boasting custom walk-in dressing rooms and spa-inspired ensuites lined with floor-to-ceiling stone wall finishes, freestanding soaking baths, wall-hung vanities, and designer tapware.

Spanning Levels 4 and 5, an extensive two-storey suite of private resident amenities provides an exceptional urban retreat. Level 4 centres on health and restoration, featuring 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, steam room, private treatment room, and a serene yoga studio opening directly onto a manicured garden lawn. Level 5 caters to social life and productivity, offering a resident Club Lounge with library, executive boardroom for remote business, a private dining room with catering kitchen, and a boutique cinema. At ground level, a dedicated concierge desk, secure surfboard storage, and post-surf beach showers ensure daily beachside rituals remain effortless. Scheduled for completion in late 2030, 18 Mary Avenue places the vibrant dining of Oracle Boulevard, The Star Gold Coast, and Pacific Fair within an easy coastal walk.
