Beachfront living in Burleigh is becoming increasingly rare, and when opportunities do arise, buyers quickly take notice.

Set along The Esplanade at North Burleigh, MYST offers a golden opportunity: beachfront living in Burleigh.

This boutique collection of just 32 residences is positioned moments from the sand and the suburb’s thriving café and dining scene. Developed and built by renowned Frank Developments, the project brings a design-led approach to one of the coast’s most coveted locations, and buyers are already loving the offering, from the project’s North Burleigh position and clear ocean views, to its boutique scale and spacious four-bedroom floorplans.

With construction underway and completion targeted for late 2027, MYST offers a limited opportunity in an area where supply remains tightly held.

A rare position on the Burleigh coastline

Located at 270 The Esplanade, MYST places residents within easy reach of the everyday pleasures that define Burleigh’s coveted lifestyle.

North Burleigh Beach sits just 50 metres away, while Miami One Shopping Centre is a short stroll for groceries, retail, and daily services. The renowned Burleigh Heads dining precinct, including restaurants such as Rick Shores, The Oxley, and Labart, is only a few kilometres south, with James Street’s stylish boutiques and chic cafés easily accessible.

For Frank Developments founder and managing director Frank Licastro, the area has long held personal significance.

“Burleigh holds a soft spot for us; it’s where I actually proposed to my wife,” Frank said.

“During the site acquisition phase, we were lucky to live in the original building.

“We would drive down on a Friday afternoon, have dinner at the surf club across the road, take the dogs to the beach, take our daughter to the beach – everything was just at arm’s reach.”

Designed to reflect the coastal setting

MYST’s architecture takes cues from the surrounding landscape, with a softly curved façade inspired by the shapes of the coastline and the changing light over the Pacific Ocean.

Rising 18 levels, the building comprises half-floor layouts with just two residences per level on Levels 2 to 15, ensuring a rare sense of privacy for apartment living. For those seeking more, Level 16 offers a full‑floor sub‑penthouse, and Level 17 crowns the building with a full‑floor penthouse.

Expansive balconies are positioned at either end of each residence, allowing the surrounding beach and ocean views to become part of daily life, while also offering shelter from wind and neighbouring sightlines – a design approach informed by Burleigh’s natural cove-like setting.

Inside, a refined coastal palette of alabaster and ecru tones is paired with honed travertine finishes, light oak joinery, and polished nickel detailing.

Architecturally designed by ByCulprit., generous living areas are the standard, complemented by master suites with walk-in wardrobes and spa-like en-suites, creating a tranquil space to end the day.

Home chefs will adore the kitchen, thoughtfully designed for entertaining with a sculptural travertine island, hidden butler’s scullery, and premium European appliances.

Amenities designed for relaxed coastal living

Located on the podium level, the private residents’ retreat brings Burleigh’s relaxed way of living home. Find a resort-style pool with raised daybeds, barbecue and dining spaces, a sauna, and a fully equipped wellness and fitness studio.

Landscaped gardens frame these spaces, creating a calm setting that connects the building to its coastal surroundings.

Secure basement parking with licence plate recognition, keyless building entry, and dedicated surfboard and bicycle storage further support the practical side of beachfront living.

Construction progress

Construction at MYST is now underway. With early works progressing steadily on site, buyers can look at moving in late 2027.

Basement retention D-WALL installation is currently around 75% complete, marking a significant milestone in the project’s early construction phase. This foundational work is critical to the structure's long-term stability.

The next stage will focus on dewatering, which will allow excavation to begin. Subject to site conditions, this phase is currently targeted to commence in mid to late March.

With just 32 residences, MYST is intentionally boutique in scale – a quality that aligns with Frank Developments’ focus on design-led homes that respond to their setting.

Interest has already been strong from international, interstate, and local buyers alike, looking to secure their future beachfront sanctuaries. So, for buyers looking to downsize, secure a second home, or relocate to the coast, MYST ensures your dream comes true.

Four-bedroom residences are now selling. Priced from $5.975 million for a half-floor home with three bathrooms, second living, and two car parking spaces.
