Skyline View in Southport on the Gold Coast was delivered by CHL in partnership with the Queensland Government, Ryall Smith Architects, APGC Group, Gaskell Planning Consultants, Ripple Group and Colliers.
The name ‘Skyline View’ reflects the property’s elevated outlook across the famous Gold Coast skyline and its connection to the historic route once known as Meyer’s Ferry Road (now called Ferry Road) which linked Southport to Elston, the original name of Surfers Paradise. Meyer’s ferry operated from the 1880s, forming the main crossing over the Nerang River and shaping early development in both Southport and Elston. The name Skyline View symbolises connection and aspiration echoing the corridor’s history, while capturing the modern development and outlook of Southport and Surfers Paradise today.

Our impact
These apartments have been purpose‑designed for people seeking a right‑sized home that supports them to age‑in‑place within their local community. They have been built to provide safe, stable housing and a modern, open plan design. Each resident will have a private balcony or outdoor space and we’ve also designed indoor and outdoor communal spaces for residents to enjoy together or with their guests.
CHL’s strategic focus in Queensland continues to be on ensuring we are providing well-designed right-sized homes for older people currently on the social housing register or in larger social housing homes. By providing people with the option to live in a suitably sized home, it helps make larger homes available for families waiting for social housing.

Gold Standard homes have 12 core design elements including generous dimensions for kitchen and bedroom access, lifts and other features.
