Australian model Isabelle Mathers is among the first wave of buyers moving into a new luxury tower at Palm Beach, a site with a 70-year history.
The Gold Coast influencer shared the moment she entered her “dream home” — an apartment in a $55 million nine-storey boutique development by the Dorr family.
“POV: You finally get the keys to your dream home,” the 25-year-old captioned her social media post, sparking hundreds of congratulatory comments from her 2 million followers.
Seaclusion, the 40-apartment complex, is set just 30 meters from the beach and designed by BDA Architecture to blend with its coastal surroundings and the famous Glitter Strip views. Launched in 2022, it was constructed by Hutchinson Builders, with one-bedroom apartments starting at $695,000, two-bedroom units at $590,000, and three-bedroom options from $1.495 million.
Half of the units, totaling $31 million, were sold within the first month, and all but one were sold before the building’s recent completion.
The final available three-bedroom unit is listed as a prime “investment opportunity,” while a penthouse retained by the Dorr family is up for rent at $1,650 per week.
Marketing agent Jayde Pezet of Pezet Matheson shared glowing feedback from buyers, who are moving in earlier than expected. “Many are from the local area, and they are thrilled with the amenities, including a rooftop pool, day beds, and a barbecue area with stunning ocean views,” Pezet said.
The Seaclusion tower offers one-, two-, and three-bedroom units, many with floor-to-ceiling windows and expansive balconies to take full advantage of the coastal views. The development stands on a 1,200 sqm parcel once home to a Queenslander owned by the Dorr family for three generations.
Early buyers like Mathers have already seen their property values rise, with high demand pushing prices in the area up by 11.7% over the past year, reaching a median of $1 million.
