It was the traditionally-popular Surfers Paradise strip that saw off 2023 as the busiest off-the-plan apartment sales precinct on the Gold Coast.
 

It was mostly due to the 46 sales in the $500m Vista residential tower, a 51-storey project by publicly listed construction and property development company Malaysian Resources Corporation Berhad. Its $60m quarterly sales tally took pre-sales to the halfway mark in the 280-apartment complex – with an average price of $1.434m – through Matt George at national sales and marketing agency Urban Activation.

The $170m-plus sales since its early 2023 launch, with strong interest from owner-occupier downsizers, will trigger its anticipated mid-year construction start.
 

Apartments are priced from $1.35m and the building – designed by local architects DBI – features a rooftop garden, sky-high residents’ lounges, a wellness precinct, gymnasium, outdoor yoga space, pool, spa, sauna and steam room.
 

Marina Point at Hope Island, in the city’s north, was the next best-selling project during the final quarter of 2023, with 26 apartments selling at an average price of $1.4m.
 

The third most popular project achieved 25 sales in Crest Broadbeach, and also The Isabel by Mosaic at Burleigh Heads, at for which there was a $3.8m average price and where just three remain for sale.
