Inside the Gold Coast apartments prepared to skip the busy city traffic

Construction has commenced on two new apartment buildings overlooking a private Gold Coast lake, with easy future access between two of the city’s biggest hubs.

Lakeside Apartments, a joint venture between Keylin and Kinstone Group, is expected to offer 85 two and three-bedroom units split between two four-storey buildings.

With views of Lake Serenity and the Coombabah Lakelands Conservation Area, the site is the latest in a series of offerings in the Serenity 4212 precinct in Hope Island.

Sales lead, Ashwin Property Director Tony Ashwin, said the upcoming Coomera Connector roadway would mean residents were a short drive away from most of the Gold Coast’s best hotspots.

“You’re going to get access to two of the biggest health and education employment hubs in the city, and you’re gonna get easier access to central Broadbeach, Brisbane, and the rail,” he said. “It’s a transformational change for that zone.”

Available apartments will see prices starting at $949,000 for a two-bedroom apartment and topping out around $1.6 million for the more in-demand three-bedroom spots.

“A lot of the Gold Coast’s new two-bedroom apartments are 95-97 sqm – they’re less than 100,” Mr Ashwin said, with Lakeside Apartments units between 108 and 176 sqm. “There’s a very wide range of floor plans, aspects – there’s a significant amount of choice.”

The Lakeside precinct began work on the first stage in 2020, and has now developed several gated communities within Hope Island.

Lakeside Development Manager Joe Simpson said the precinct planned to include more retail features in the final stages, to give locals key amenities within the area itself.

“The idea behind it is that once you buy into Lakeside, there’s no reason for you to leave,” he said. “You wake up, you go take your dog down to the dog park, you grab a coffee at the local park by the lake, you go up and enjoy a swim and the jacuzzi … right up to taking a kayak out in the afternoon.”

Retail amenities may include cafes and restaurants accessible to both the new apartments and previous residential areas. The final stage of the project is also planning to include another apartment complex with a similar design, offering between 120 and 150 new units.

“The apartments have got the park, the private garden,” he said, “but the idea of the final stage is that will act as a hub for all the other stages.”

The project is currently being built by CoStruct, with residents expected to move in by Spring 2027.
