Why buyers are flocking to these Surfers Paradise beachfront apartments

Living on the beachfront is many individuals' dream. To be steps from the sand while moments from vibrant coastal amenities is the ideal for most when looking for a home. What better place to turn to in Australia than the Glitter Strip – the Gold Coast.

MIRA Residences, developed by award-winning Frank Developments, boasts a coveted absolute beachfront address, rising above the Gold Coast’s revered Surfers Paradise coastline. Its address is enough to deem it a prime residential option. Yet, Frank Developments, collaborating with acclaimed architects, takes it a step further to curate an exclusive collection of just 12 multi-level residences of uncompromising quality.

Discerning buyers have loved this prized collection, with eight of the 12 homes sold, equating to $66 million in sales.

When AD asked Frank Licastro, Managing Director of Frank Developments, what exactly about MIRA has attracted buyers, the property developer replied, “It’s the exclusiveness of the building with only 12 units.

“We have consistency in our floor plate types, which are these vertical beach homes on absolute beachfront.”

MIRA Residences offers 12 two-storey residences, with just four four-bedroom homes remaining, comprising four and a half bathrooms and three car-parking spaces. Each residence boasts 376 sqm of open-plan living space, complete with a spacious oceanfront balcony.

What’s more, MIRA is now under construction, meaning the lucky few who get to call this address home can move in late 2025. 

“We have seen a variety of buyer demographics,” Frank revealed.

“Our sales data indicates that we’ve had significant interest from downsizers and young professionals who are all owner-occupiers.”

Jono and Abbey are young professionals who purchased a home at MIRA. “We fell in love with MIRA the moment we saw it,” they said. 

“The sleek design, thoughtful layouts, and stunning views from every part of the apartment surpassed our expectations.

“We also appreciate the access to the beach and surf club. 

“It truly feels like home.”

Renowned Ferro Chow Architects and BYculprit lent their design expertise to forge these residences. The result is meticulously designed homes that boast modern finishes, spacious layouts, and state-of-the-art amenities, appealing to those looking for comfort, style, and convenience in their homes.

Catering to a wide range of lifestyles, Frank has also observed interest from families seeking spacious and comfortable living environments due to MIRA’s four-bedroom offerings. “These families appreciate MIRA's proximity to the beach, schools, and parks,” he said.

The Walker family are local downsizers who found it crucial to purchase the perfect place to settle down. “We are locals on the Gold Coast and wanted an absolute beachfront,” they said. Where else would they turn but MIRA?

“MIRA offered everything we were looking for – spacious living areas and bedrooms, excellent amenities for our kids, and a location that’s close to schools and parks. 

“We couldn’t be happier with our decision to make MIRA our new home.”

A family of five hailing from Brisbane also found their dream home in MIRA. “My husband and I were ready to downsize and find our slice of paradise by the beach,” they explained.

“MIRA offered the perfect solution. 

“The serene beachfront location captured our hearts instantly. 

“We were drawn to the idea of having a peaceful retreat where we could unwind and enjoy the beauty of coastal living. 

“We are looking forward to living in a boutique building with amenities that cater perfectly to our lifestyle. 

“We feel like we’ve found our own little oasis away from the city.”

Fostering lifestyle perfection, MIRA features luxuriously appointed amenities comprising a beach cove, infinity edge pool, wet deck, gymnasium, sauna, yoga space, and al fresco BBQ kitchen with dining area surrounded by tropical landscaping.

In addition to its beachfront positioning and luxurious design, Frank reveals that buyers are attracted to MIRA for several more compelling reasons. 

“Firstly, our prime location in a vibrant neighbourhood provides easy access to dining and entertainment, making it an ideal choice for those seeking a dynamic urban lifestyle,” he said.

“Additionally, our focus on sustainability and eco-friendly features has resonated with environmentally-conscious buyers who prioritise responsible living.”

Every detail at MIRA has truly been curated to the highest standards, resulting in beachfront perfection. Evidently, discerning buyers have recognised this, with just four residences remaining.
