There arguably hasn’t been as much national—or even international—fanfare for a Gold Coast apartment development as there has been for the recent launch of Pescado in Palm Beach.
The project is being undertaken by international DJ Paul Fisher and his wife Chloe. The couple, who have just launched YLB Property Development, intend to make the two-level penthouse their base when they’re back in Australia.
The remaining six levels will each comprise a full-floor apartment, set behind a striking curved facade by locals BDA Architecture.
Beyond the fanfare of the launch, genuine interest in the apartments has been strong, according to Pezet Matheson Managing Director Jayde Pezet.
"Buyers may have been alerted to the project because of the broader-than-usual media coverage it received at launch, but genuine buyers look beyond that and recognise the level of finish and detail," Pezet says.
While enquiries have come from both local and interstate buyers, it's locals who are showing the most interest.
"Everyone on the Gold Coast loves Palm Beach, and Jefferson Lane is the best street in the suburb," Pezet says.
I recently caught up with Jayde to discuss the project in more detail.
“With this project being so important to Paul and Chloe, and being what they refer to as their forever home, they’ve looked at it and gone, ‘We are going to make this project within code.’”
The result is a low-density, high-amenity development that emphasises lifestyle and spatial quality rather than volume.
Each of the six full-floor residences spans around 325 sqm and have three bedrooms, an MPR, ocean-facing balconies, and interiors inspired by the Fishers' global travels.
All residences have access to a suite of wellness-focused communal spaces, including a pool, gym, and cold plunge facilities - features reflective of the Fishers’ personal lifestyle, which Pezet describes as “heavily wellness-oriented.”
“They're both incredibly into wellness - they eat super clean, they exercise, they ice bath - and you'll see that as a reflection in the project's amenity but also in the way they live their life,” he said.
With prices ranging from $5.25 million to $7.1 million, Pescado is targeting a narrow but clearly defined buyer pool.
"We've still had an incredible amount of interest from baby boomers, but there have been younger people that have been inquiring also," said Pezet.
