MIRA rising: Surfers Paradise project progresses skyward

AT A GLANCE:

• Developer: Frank Developments 
• Address: 61 Garfield Terrace, Surfers Paradise
• Number of Residences: 12
• Estimated Completion Date: Q2 2026 

On the sands of Surfers Paradise, MIRA by Frank Developments brings together thoughtful design and absolute beachfront living in a way that feels elevated yet effortless, and deeply connected to the Gold Coast.

Limited to just 11 dual-level residences and one three-level penthouse, the project has been created for those who value privacy, space, and a life that unfolds directly on the sand.

Completion is anticipated in 2026, with construction already rising into the skyline.

Designed for beachfront living

Every residence at MIRA has been meticulously crafted to reflect its natural setting.

Floor-to-ceiling glazing ensures uninterrupted views of the Pacific Ocean, with curved balconies extending sightlines from North Stradbroke to Coolangatta.

Inside, organic timbers, travertine stone, and a neutral coastal palette create interiors that feel timeless yet tactile, deeply connected to the landscape.

"MIRA is about more than architecture - it’s about capturing the feeling of living on the edge of the ocean, in complete harmony with its rhythms," says Frank Licastro, director of Frank Developments.

“Every element has been designed to elevate daily life, while remaining authentically connected to the coastline.”

Dual-level layouts separate open-plan living zones below from private master retreats above, each with direct lift access to both levels. This seamless vertical flow ensures privacy, ease, and a sense of true arrival, whether stepping in from the beach or retreating upstairs.

A lifestyle shaped by amenity

At podium level, residents enjoy boutique amenities designed for relaxation and rejuvenation, connection and community.

A beachfront infinity-edge pool cascades over the dunes, complemented by a gym, sauna, yoga space, and alfresco dining framed by lush greenery. A secluded beach cove, complete with daybeds, places the ocean just moments from home.

"We wanted residents to feel like every day at MIRA is an escape - not just from the outside world, but into a lifestyle defined by wellbeing and balance," Frank explains.

Crowning the development, the 609 sqm three-level penthouse presents the pinnacle of beachfront prestige. With its private rooftop terrace, glass-edged pool, gymnasium, and bespoke entertaining spaces, it stands as a singular statement of architectural ambition.

Detail in every element

MIRA’s interiors reflect a dedication to craftsmanship.

Kitchens are fitted with a premium V-ZUG appliance suite, natural travertine benchtops, and timber joinery made to last. Bathrooms highlight crafted travertine sinks, Sussex mixers in brushed oyster nickel, and a steel bath - every detail thoughtfully chosen.

Custom Made By Block light timber flooring, motorised drapery, and layered lighting bring together a home that feels both practical and refined.

"Our approach is always to design for longevity,” said Frank.

“From the materials to the fixtures, we’ve chosen pieces that will endure - aesthetically, functionally, and personally.”

Progress taking shape

MIRA has now reached a significant milestone. With the building core at Level 8 and the tower crane installed, construction is advancing at pace.

Apartment pours are underway on a six-day floor-to-floor rhythm, with the external structure set to top out before Christmas at a height of 92.3 metres. Critical works, including the seawall and complex site operations, are complete, paving the way for smooth progress ahead.

This upward momentum mirrors the essence of MIRA itself: a development defined as much by its journey as its destination.

A Northcliffe address

Set on the sands of Northcliffe, MIRA offers a balance of beachfront serenity with access to the Gold Coast’s finest amenities. Residents are connected by the beachfront promenade to dining, retail, and cultural precincts, while the G:link light rail and Gold Coast Airport ensure effortless accessibility.

Here, lifestyle is defined by choice - the calm and comfort of a quieter shoreline, moments from the colour and culture of Broadbeach, Surfers Paradise, and Pacific Fair.

"Northcliffe has always been about balance,” says Frank.

“It’s tranquil, connected, and deeply authentic to the Gold Coast way of life. MIRA celebrates that balance at every level.”
