A pickleballer's delight: luxe penthouse includes world’s first private residential rooftop court

The Gold Coast is set to welcome the world’s first private residential rooftop pickleball court on Ian Malouf’s latest penthouse masterpiece. 

Perched atop the newly finished REMI Residences in Broadbeach, the three level, 1,200sqm sky home is set to be one of the most significant prestigious listings to hit the market in 2025.

REMI Developments – helmed by renowned Sydney businessmen Ian Malouf and Peter Wilding – strategically held back the release of the penthouse to align with ideal market timing.

“This development reflects what we like in our yachts and residences in scale, design, finishes and artwork.

Our objective was to create a world-class penthouse with everything including a Padel Court” said Ian Malouf.

“Quite simply, there is no completed luxury penthouse product of this calibre currently available in the central Gold Coast,” said Hanan Cawley, managing director of Highland’s Gold Coast office.

“This is a rare chance to experience and purchase an ultra-luxury residence that is not just conceptual, but fully complete and ready to occupy.”

Situated at 122 Surf Parade, Broadbeach, this landmark penthouse crowns the $300 million REMI Residences development and is set to offer its residents an elite residential living lifestyle. It offers immediate occupancy in a market typically dominated by off-the-plan sales and construction timelines.

The penthouse boasts:

• 6 oversized bedrooms including its own self-contained 2 bedroom apartment.

• 5 luxurious bathrooms

• 4 secure car spaces

• Private rooftop swimming pool

• Speakeasy wine cellar with dedicated tasting room

• Private residential rooftop pickleball court, the first in the world.

“This is one of the most remarkable penthouses I’ve seen anywhere in the world,” said David Highland, CEO of Highland Property.

“It’s not just the size and scale—it’s the lifestyle, the finish, the readiness. Ian’s created something truly iconic here.”

“You simply won’t find another complete penthouse of this scale, quality, and finish on the market right now,” added Bill Malouf, director of Highland’s Double Bay office. 

“This is in a league of its own.”

Every detail has been meticulously considered. The residence is designed for seamless indoor-outdoor living, offering multiple entertainment zones including private function spaces, alfresco areas, and access to REMI Residences’ suite of five-star amenities. 

Amenities include: 

• Spa treatment rooms

• Saunas and steam rooms

• Hot and cold plunge pools

• 15-metre lap pool

• Residents’ lounge

• Two resident-only Tesla electric vehicles

The penthouse also reflects a forward-thinking approach to sustainability and convenience, without compromising luxury.

“Unlike off-the-plan opportunities that may take years to materialise, this penthouse offers certainty, exclusivity, and immediate possession,” said Hanan.  

“It’s a turnkey lifestyle statement that can’t be replicated.”

With premium, completed penthouses in limited supply, this listing stands as a rare asset in Australia’s high-end property market.
