Blonde Bilinga Penthouse Unveiled at $11 Million with Alexander &CO. Interiors
Highlife Property Group has unveiled its $11 million beachfront penthouse at Blonde, a boutique residential development in Bilinga on Australia's southern Gold Coast. Designed by Sydney-based Alexander &CO., the residence occupies the top of the 19-apartment building and features a private rooftop swimming pool overlooking the Pacific Ocean.
The development has recorded more than $60 million in sales, with 13 apartments already purchased. All buyers to date have been owner-occupiers, and the northern collection has sold out. Six residences remain available, including the newly revealed penthouse, which is priced from $11 million.
Alexander &CO. brings a distinctive design approach
The penthouse interiors move away from the conventional white coastal aesthetic often associated with Gold Coast beachfront properties. Rather, Alexander &CO. accomplished the fusion of pale oak floors, French wash walls, and sheer draperies with walnut cabinet work, lavishly veined stone surfaces, and a range of sculptural architectural elements.
The kitchen features a sculptural concrete Island, while adaptation includes cleverly devised transitions between rooms that provide privacy in open plan areas.
The main bedroom suite includes a dedicated dressing room leading into the bedroom and ensuite. Quartzite stone extends across the ensuite's floors, walls and bathtub. Above the apartment, a private rooftop terrace and swimming pool provide additional space for entertaining, with views across the Pacific.
Alexander &CO. Associate Aimy Dodge said the design was influenced by Bilinga's understated coastal character and the everyday routines of people living near the beach. She described the approach as creating a home where indoor and outdoor living connect naturally.
Owner-occupiers drive Blonde sales
Highlife Property Group Co-Founder and Director James George said the project's sales performance reflected demand for larger, design-focused apartments among buyers moving from substantial standalone houses into lower-maintenance homes.
Most purchasers have come from the local market, while a smaller number of interstate buyers have also secured residences.
George said the penthouse was designed for buyers seeking the proportions and privacy of a standalone home alongside the architectural detailing and amenities of a beachfront apartment.
With 13 of its 19 residences sold, Blonde is continuing to attract buyers in Bilinga, a coastal suburb that has traditionally received less attention than neighbouring Kirra, Rainbow Bay and Palm Beach.
The $11 million penthouse represents the development's highest-priced offering and its most ambitious residential design.
