New Launch - India Real Estate Report 2026.
UAE developer Arada is expanding beyond New South Wales for the first time, launching a Dh5 billion twin-tower residential development in Broadbeach on Queensland's Gold Coast.
The project will deliver 952 homes across one, two and three-bedroom configurations and is targeted for completion before the 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games. It is Arada's largest commitment in Australia to date.
What the Development Includes
The two towers will be connected by a landscaped podium and offer a broad range of resident facilities:
- Pools, fitness and wellness areas, communal terraces
- Private dining, a library, lounge and work-from-home spaces
- Around 1,200 sqm of ground-floor retail and hospitality space
Plus Studio has designed the development. The site sits opposite the Gold Coast Convention Centre with direct light rail access and both The Star Gold Coast and Pacific Fair Shopping Centre are within walking distance.

Built by Arada's Own Contractor
Construction will be handled by Roberts Co, the tier-one contractor that Arada Group acquired in 2025.
Ahmed Alkhoshaibi, Group CEO of Arada, said delivering the project through its own construction business means the developer can bring the quality, pace and accountability that buyers expect.
The vertical integration gives Arada direct control over both development and construction timelines a structure that matters particularly on a project with a fixed Olympic deadline.

Why Gold Coast, Why Now
Alkhoshaibi described Broadbeach as a world-class address that gives the developer the canvas to create a community of exceptional design and lifestyle quality.
He also pointed to South East Queensland as an important market for Arada's Australian expansion, a region where infrastructure investment ahead of the 2032 Games is reshaping development pipelines and pulling institutional and international capital into residential projects across the corridor.
Arada entered Australia in 2024. The Broadbeach project is its first outside New South Wales and brings its total Australian pipeline to eight projects comprising more than 5,000 homes.
The scale of that build-up in under two years reflects both the developer's ambitions in the market and the depth of residential demand in a country where housing supply constraints have become a defining issue for buyers, renters and policymakers alike.
The Gold Coast, already a draw for domestic and international buyers, adds a lifestyle and investment dimension that its Sydney projects do not.
