Why Elements Budds Beach has already achieved $100m in sales

AT A GLANCE: 

• Developer: McNab 
• Builder: McNab 
• No. of Residences: 87 
• Address: 21 Oak Avenue, Surfers Paradise, QLD

Nestled between the world-renowned shores of Surfers Paradise and the peaceful riverfront pocket of Budds Beach, Elements presents a unique residential opportunity that is becoming increasingly hard to find on the Gold Coast.

With construction already well underway and over $100 million in sales already achieved to date, only 26 apartments remain out of Elements’ boutique collection of 87 residences.

This riverfront development by McNab offers a secure, well-considered lifestyle investment, complete with iconic Gold Coast views and resort-like facilities. It’s no wonder that most residences are spoken for.

A once-in-a-lifetime address

Occupying an address that is exceptionally rare on the Gold Coast, Elements boasts a north-facing position directly on the banks of the Nerang River. The tower is a coastal retreat, combining natural light, tranquil privacy, and year-round sun exposure that’s seldom found in Surfers Paradise.

This riverfront site provides a calm and private environment, shielded from prevailing winds and enjoying unobstructed views north over the river, west to the hinterland, and south across the Gold Coast city skyline.

With surrounding low-rise zoning and parklands in place, these multi-directional views are protected from future development, giving long-term value and visual certainty.

Inside, Elements delivers a refined, low-density living experience. Two collections, each architecturally designed by Cottee Parker, cater to varying lifestyles:

• The Azure Collection includes stunning two- and three-bedroom residences with engineered European Oak flooring, natural stone benchtops, Bosch appliances, and expansive balconies designed for seamless indoor-outdoor living. 75% of the Azure Collection has already sold.
• The Horizon Collection presents palatial half-floor residences, each with four bedrooms plus media or multi-purpose rooms. These homes feature Miele and Fisher & Paykel appliances, a butler’s pantry, and outdoor kitchen with built-in BBQ and bar fridge, perfect for entertaining. This newly released collection is being snapped up just as quickly as Azure.

Across both collections, interiors reflect a coastal-inspired, timeless design with sculptural kitchen islands, custom joinery, spa-like bathrooms, and layered lighting.

World-class amenities

Unlike typical high-rise buildings with large-scale, underutilised facilities, the amenity offering at Elements is grounded in daily wellness and liveability.

The rooftop is a true retreat, with 360-degree panoramic views, a horizon-edge pool overlooking the coastline, a fully equipped gym with floor-to-ceiling glazing, and a restoration zone featuring a sauna and hot plunge pool that overlooks ocean views.

Residents can also host effortlessly with formal and alfresco dining spaces, complete with a teppanyaki bar, BBQ facilities, and private balconies, all designed with function and comfort in mind.

Location, location, location

Budds Beach is one of the Gold Coast’s best-kept secrets. Known for its tree-lined streets, village charm, and tranquil riverfront setting, it offers an escape from the hustle while still being just minutes from the surf, shopping, and dining of central Surfers Paradise.

A two-minute stroll brings residents to the calm waters of Budds Beach, while the vibrant Surfers Paradise Beach is only five minutes on foot.

Under construction by a trusted team

Unlike many off-the-plan developments, Elements is already progressing on site. Demolition is complete, and construction is well underway, backed by McNab, the builder and developer of the project and the name behind several award-winning Queensland projects.

McNab’s dual role offers buyers a higher degree of confidence in delivery, with their integrated approach streamlining timelines and ensuring quality execution. For owner-occupiers, downsizers, and investors alike, this translates into reduced risk and greater peace of mind.

For buyers looking for more than just a high-rise apartment, Elements Budds Beach offers something genuinely different: a rare riverfront lifestyle in one of Australia’s most renowned postcodes.

Two-, three-, and four-bedroom apartments are selling at Elements, priced from $1.43 million for a two-bedroom residence with two bathrooms, one study, and one car park.
