Following the record-breaking $11.5 million sale of its Penthouse, Bastion Development Group has refined Nera’s upper levels into an even more exclusive collection — and the Gold Coast luxury market is taking notice

There are residences that occupy the skyline, and then there are residences that define it.

At Nera Residences, Bastion Development Group has unveiled a collection that represents the highest expression of luxury living on the Gold Coast – an extraordinary Penthouse and a singular Sub-Penthouse that together crown one of Chevron Island’s most anticipated residential addresses.

Hot on the heels of the record-breaking sale of Nera’s Penthouse for $11.5 million, setting a new benchmark for Chevron Island, the developer has refined its premium offering to create an even more exclusive collection to cater to the unprecedented demand.

The upper levels of the tower will now comprise just four Skyhomes and one Sub-Penthouse, a move that further elevates the rarity of ownership within this landmark development.

Positioned on Level 28, the Sub-Penthouse offers an expansive 442sqm of internal living space complemented by 46sqm of outdoor entertaining areas. Originally created as the Penthouse prior to the introduction of the mezzanine level, the residence delivers a scale and presence rarely found in contemporary apartment living.

Suspended between the ocean and hinterland, the home captures uninterrupted panoramic views that stretch across the Gold Coast skyline, the Nerang River and the Pacific Ocean beyond. Floor-to-ceiling glazing floods the interiors with natural light, while expansive living and entertaining spaces create an effortless connection to the ever-changing landscape outside.

The uniquely positioned residence has been designed with the same exceptional finishes and meticulous attention to detail as Nera’s Skyhome collection. Crafted in collaboration with Paradigm Design Studio, the interiors embody a refined coastal elegance, balancing natural materials, bespoke detailing and timeless sophistication.

At its heart sits a statement kitchen designed in collaboration with Michelin-starred chef Shaun Rankin, featuring an exceptional suite of Gaggenau and Liebherr appliances, natural stone surfaces and custom joinery. Throughout the residence, herringbone timber flooring, luxurious stone finishes and carefully curated fixtures create an atmosphere of understated grandeur.

Alex Wood, CEO of Bastion Development Group, said the decision to create a more exclusive upper-level collection reflects the growing demand for larger, highly curated residences that offer genuine scarcity. “Luxury today is defined by exclusivity, scale and the quality of the experience,” said Wood. “With just one Sub-Penthouse and four Skyhomes available, we’ve created a collection that is incredibly rare not only for Chevron Island, but for the Gold Coast as a whole.”

“These residences have been designed for buyers seeking something truly exceptional – homes that deliver the space of a private residence with the convenience, security and amenity of a world-class vertical community.”

Ownership at Nera extends far beyond the residence itself. Residents enjoy exclusive access to an extraordinary suite of rooftop amenities, including an infinity-edge pool overlooking the coastline, private wellness facilities, therapy pools, entertaining spaces and a state-of-the-art EMF fitness centre. Grounding the development’s wellness philosophy is a private garden designed by internationally renowned landscape designer Jamie Durie, providing a rare sanctuary within the heart of the city.

Complementing the physical spaces is a carefully curated lifestyle offering through Bastion Living, providing personalised concierge services, luxury transport, event planning, private dining experiences and tailored resident services designed to create a seamless living experience.

“Our vision has always been to go beyond building apartments; we’re creating a vibrant vertical community where every element has been carefully considered and brought to life in collaboration with the best in the industry,” said Mr Wood.

As the Gold Coast luxury market continues to mature, buyers are increasingly seeking residences that combine architectural excellence with genuine lifestyle value. Nera’s Penthouse and Sub-Penthouse collection represents this evolution – homes defined not simply by their size or outlook, but by the experience they offer.

Rare, highly considered and uncompromising in their execution, these residences stand as the ultimate expression of Nera’s vision.
