Keylin and Kinstone top out first apartment development at $600 million Serenity masterplan

Keylin and Kinstone Group have topped out Lakeside Apartments, the first apartment development within the $600 million Serenity 4212 masterplanned community on the northern Gold Coast, and released an exclusive collection of top floor residences.

Buyer data shows 70% of purchasers are aged over 50, with downsizers driving interest in the 85-residence development, which is on track for move-ins by spring 2027.

Keylin development manager Joe Simpson, said the topping out milestone brings the development a step closer to completion.

“The combination of nature, space and views was central to our vision for Lakeside Apartments from the beginning and we can now fully appreciate just how extraordinary the outlook is from our top floor residences,” Joe said.

Joe said downsizers are choosing to leave behind the maintenance of a large family home without sacrificing space and the outdoors.

“Downsizing shouldn’t be a step down,” Joe said.

“We’re seeing buyers make a very deliberate choice to give up the maintenance of a large home and garden, without giving up the lifestyle that comes with it.

“Our buyers want space, amenity, outdoor living and a connection to nature, but they also want more freedom and less time spent looking after a property.

“We have released the top floor apartments to market at a time when buyers can experience the views themselves and not just through a render.”

The top floor collection has been designed to make the most of their elevated outlook, with two and three-bedroom residences offering three-metre-high ceilings, light filled open plan interiors and large balconies overlooking the Coombabah Lakelands Conservation Area towards the Surfers Paradise skyline.

For downsizers Gail and Stuart Airlie, who have lived in their current home in Safety Beach, NSW for more than 40 years, the decision to purchase a three-bedroom apartment at Lakeside Apartments was about finding a home that better suits their next stage of life, while bringing them closer to family.

“We’ve loved our home in Safety Beach, but we were ready for something easier to maintain and want to be closer to our grandchildren,” Gail said.

“Lakeside Apartments felt like the right decision for us from the start," Gail explained.

"We’ve always lived near the ocean, so Lakeside’s connection to the water and nature, and the large balcony, peaceful surroundings and walking tracks really appealed to us.

“We’re looking forward to being closer to family, meeting new people and enjoying everything the community has to offer.”

Designed by MAS Architecture Studio, Lakeside Apartments comprises two four-level buildings with 85 two and three-bedroom residences, with generous balconies and terraces.

Residents will also have access to a range of amenities including a resort-style pool, jacuzzi, gym, private dining room, dog off-leash area and kayaks for hire to use on Lake Serenity.

Construction by leading Queensland builder CoStruct is progressing on schedule, with move-in slated for early next year.

Joint venture partners Keylin and Kinstone Group have decades of combined development experience and a strong track record across Southeast Queensland. 

The Joint Venture is also partnering on the 47.7-hectare Foxwell Coomera lifestyle precinct at Coomera Town Centre South, acquired in 2021.
