Super apartments are expansive apartments the size of large waterfront and beachfront homes, but offer the added bonus of extra privacy, security and elevated views.

Research shows that the trend toward super apartments has progressed in the last four years, with the emergence of large, spacious, luxury apartments that now offer a genuine alternative to detached living.

Super apartments are part of a new trend which has stemmed from the traditional penthouse – only this time, entire developments are devoted to penthouse or sub-penthouse style living with the added benefits of security, quality and size.

Super apartments have come a long way since Raptis’s Platinum at Surfers Paradise and Vogue on Broadbeach came along in 2000, offering respective 236sqm and 322sqm of apartment living.

Now, super apartments have taken another big leap, with Elyseé leading the way on the southern Gold Coast to redefine expansive, opulent living. Average floor space is 380 sqm, around 100 sqm larger than most apartment developments on the Gold Coast.

A beachfront home on the Gold Coast is hard to acquire under $10 million – super apartments are a considerably affordable alternative.

Super apartments present similar size of a large home with the advantage of superior views and high-tech security for a considerably lower price.

The philosophy is the creation of projects so large, so well designed, and in such prime locations, that there is now no compromise shifting from a traditional home to a beachfront super apartment.

In addition, the lack of future beachfront sites will create a finite nature to super apartments on the beach.

Super apartments are also accommodating a new style of prestige property owner that have emerged on the Gold Coast.
