Harbour Shores’ first homes to bring supply to northern Gold Coast
February 2024
Nestled in the heart of the northern Gold Coast, Lewis Land’s Harbour Shores is setting a new standard for resort-style coastal living.
The masterplanned community, described as a ‘village of villages,’ promises to infuse the area with a much-needed boost in housing supply, offering a lifestyle that’s both exclusive and inclusive.
Harbour Shores is poised to redefine the residential landscape with a diverse array of waterfront villas, mid-rise apartments, and resort-style amenities — all harmoniously integrated with subtropical flora and pedestrian pathways.
Recent studies by leading researcher Urbis have highlighted the Runaway Bay catchment, which encompasses Harbour Shores, as one of the most undersupplied markets on the Gold Coast.
The project’s first release responds to this demand, featuring an exclusive collection of apartments and waterfront villas that are both luxurious and eco-conscious.
Brett Draffen, CEO of Lewis Land, says Harbour Shores will deliver more than 2,000 dwellings to the area within the next decade.
“Our initial residential offerings include waterfront villa residences, two mid-rise apartment buildings, and a one-hectare central community park known as The Green,” he said.
“We’re collaborating with leading architects and urban planners to forge a sustainable, design-forward masterplan that will cater to the evolving needs of the Gold Coast for generations to come.”
Mr Draffen says residents of Harbour Shores will enjoy an array of communal spaces, including parklands, a waterfront boardwalk, private marina berths, and a selection of retail and commercial venues.
The development also boasts a suite of resident amenities, such as resort-style pools, a sauna, clubhouse, and tennis court, all designed to foster a sense of community and well-being.
With a legacy of crafting exceptional communities like Sovereign Islands and Ephraim Island, Lewis Land has a reputation for excellence.
Harbour Shores stands as the only project on the Gold Coast to achieve a 6 Star Green Star Community V1.1 rating, heralding a future where amenity, liveability, and wellness converge.
A home worth arriving to: inside the Sky Home at Harbour Shores
There is a moment, standing in the dining room of Harbour Shores’ newest Sky Home, when the afternoon light catches the mirrored wall behind the table and throws the canal back into the room. Nothing about the room asks to be photographed. It just happens to be beautiful anyway.
Why the northern Gold Coast is becoming the city’s next growth corridor
The Gold Coast is running out of room in the places everyone already wants to live. New reporting from the Gold Coast Bulletin (28 July 2026) has put a spotlight on the pressure building across the city, and on the suburbs experts believe are next in line for growth: Biggera Waters, Hollywell, Coombabah, Runaway Bay, Paradise Point, Hope Island and Helensvale.
For anyone watching the northern Gold Coast, and for anyone considering Harbour Shores in Biggera Waters, this is worth unpacking.
