The Building

Oceana on Broadbeach stands at 100 Old Burleigh Road, Broadbeach, Queensland 4218 — one of the most coveted beachfront addresses on the Gold Coast. Constructed in 1997, the development comprises twin 15-storey residential towers — the Coral Tower and the Reef Tower — set on 7,004 square metres of absolute beachfront land.

The building was designed to offer apartments significantly larger than typical hotel or resort units, with layouts 50% more spacious than the industry standard of the time. This ethos of generous living has remained central to Oceana's identity for nearly three decades.

The body corporate — formally Body Corporate for Oceana on Broadbeach CTS 24163 (ABN 95 527 862 904) — manages the building and its resort-style common facilities, which have been continuously maintained and upgraded to maintain the property's premium standard.

Architecture & Design

The twin-tower design creates a visual symmetry that has become an iconic element of the Broadbeach beachfront skyline. Both towers share a central podium-level complex housing the resort facilities — the pools, spa, sauna, gymnasium and tropical gardens.

Broadbeach — Where It All Began

Pre-European
The Kombumerri People

For thousands of years, the Kombumerri clan of Aboriginal Australians called this area home. The estuary around Little Tallebudgera Creek was a feasting ground. An ancient burial site discovered in 1965 held remains of over 150 Kombumerri people, dating back 1,300 years.

Early 1900s
Sand Mining Era

The coastal area was originally dense forest. Sand mining in the early 20th century transformed it into the sandy plains recognisable today as Broadbeach.

1924
Mermaid Beach Estate

Land was first advertised for sale as the "Mermaid Beach Estate" in 1924, beginning the transition from natural land to residential development.

1934
Broadbeach Township

The township of Broadbeach was officially surveyed and the first 70 allotments were sold, establishing the suburb we know today.

1955–56
Lennon's Hotel

The five-storey Lennon's Broadbeach Hotel was constructed, becoming the catalyst for holiday development. Described as an 'oasis in the desert', it transformed Broadbeach into a holiday destination.

1977
Pacific Fair Opens

Pacific Fair Shopping Centre opened — one of Queensland's largest shopping destinations — cementing Broadbeach as a major commercial and tourist hub.

1987
Lennon's Demolished

The iconic Lennon's Hotel was demolished in 1987 to make way for the Oasis Shopping Centre, which continues to anchor central Broadbeach today.

1997
Oceana is Built

Oceana on Broadbeach is constructed at 100 Old Burleigh Road, joining the building stock of Australia's premier coastal resort city at the height of Gold Coast development.
