Buyers have splashed more than $60m on apartments at Blonde, with 13 residences sold and the entire collection of apartments on the northern side sold out.
Highlife Property Group co-founder and director James George said the project’s strong sales performance reflected growing demand for premium beachfront residences.
“With more than $60m in sales and every residence sold to date purchased by an owner-occupier, it’s a strong indication that buyers recognise the appeal of this offering,” James said.
He said the development had attracted mostly local buyers, along with a smaller number of interstate buyers, with six residences still for sale.

Mr George said the penthouse was designed for buyers wanting the privacy and comfort of a home without compromising on its architecture.
“Penthouse buyers have those same expectations, but they’re also looking for something truly distinctive,” Mr George said.
The three-bedroom four-bathroom penthouse combines expansive living and entertaining spaces, bespoke finishes, and a private rooftop pool and terrace overlooking the ocean.
It includes a wine cellar, private rooftop with a pool, outdoor kitchen and dining area, and outdoor shower.
It also connects to a versatile multipurpose room.

Alexander &CO was behind the interior design and drew inspiration from Bilinga’s relaxed coastal character while introducing a richer, more layered material palette than traditionally seen in beachfront apartments.
Design features include pale oak timber floors, textured French-wash walls, sheer curtains while walnut joinery, stone and sculptural forms.

Alexander &CO associate Aimy Dodge said the design drew on the everyday rituals of coastal living.
“Bilinga is one of the few pockets of the Gold Coast that doesn’t perform in the same way as other parts of this strip of coastline,” Ms Dodge said.
“It is grounded, authentic and deeply local.
“We designed the penthouse around the instinctive rituals of the people who live there; ocean swims before work, coffee on the terrace, arriving sun-faded from the beach, long lunches that become evening drinks and the line between indoors and out quietly disappears.”
Construction on the development is expected to be complete by mid 2027.
