A Gold Coast businessman has splashed $19.568m on a penthouse under construction on the beachfront.

It is the second mega deal in Royale Gold Coast, a 38 level tower being built Surfers Paradise, in as many months following the $19.18m sale of another penthouse in May.

The latest buyer bought a half-floor apartment in Royale Gold Coast soon after the development launched but then decided to upgrade to the full floor penthouse on level 36.

Royale Gold Coast is under construction. at Northcliffe Terrace, Surfers Paradise.


Royale Gold Coast is now a prominent tower in Surfers Paradise.

Total Property Group managing director Adrian Parsons said the buyer’s decision to upgrade reflected the powerful impression the building was now making.

“Now that the tower is taking shape, buyers are truly beginning to appreciate the scale, elegance and quality of what’s being delivered,” he said.

“The level 36 penthouse purchaser had already committed to Royale with a half-floor apartment but didn’t want to miss the opportunity to upgrade to a full-floor penthouse now that they can see the building’s physical presence.

“To achieve nearly $39 million in sales for two penthouses within the space of two months is an extraordinary result, reflecting the demand for ultra-premium beachfront living.”
