Apparently it’s no longer just bucket hats, oversized sunglasses and dropping beats for Gold Coast pro surfer-turned-Grammy nominated DJ Paul Fisher. The globetrotting tech-house music producer, who ditched his surfboard for the decks, is now dabbling in beachside property development. Fisher, as he is known to his millions of fans, is behind plans filed for a nine-storey apartment tower along Palm Beach’s dress circle Jefferson Lane at the southern end of the Glitter Strip. It is earmarked for a site spanning 826sq m across neighbouring lots that also front the Gold Coast Highway. Property records show the amalgamated holding was acquired by Paul Fisher Investments, of which he is listed as the sole shareholder, in two separate transactions totalling $5.2 million in 2020 and 2023. Fisher has been riding a wave of success since his breakthrough 2018 hit Losing It , which scored a Grammy nomination for Best Dance Recording and led to him performing at Coachella as well as residencies in Ibiza and Las Vegas. It has been streamed more than 510 million times on Spotify. His foray into property development is not his first side hustle since rising to international fame. He and his wife, podcast host Chloe Chapman, also own alcoholic seltzer brand Hard Fizz. The Palm Beach development application has been filed under the entity YLB Property Development. According to the documents, the proposed boutique tower would feature six full-floor three-bedroom apartments on levels 1 to 6 crowned by a double-storey four-bedroom penthouse on levels 7 to 8 with a private rooftop pool and entertaining area. Landscaped communal recreation space planned for the ground level comprises a resort-style pool, lounge/sun deck area, spa, gym, sauna, dining booth and barbecue facilities. ▲ Renders of the proposed development at Jefferson Lane, Palm Beach. A single basement level would provide 15 carparking spaces for residents. With an overall building height of 29m, the proposed development is deemed to be within the code assessable threshold. “This project proposes the addition of a contemporary architectural building which reflects and responds to its coastal context along the prominent Palm Beach forefront,” a submitted architectural statement said. “The architecture of the proposed development is contemporary and organic in form, with sweeping soft curves anchored by a robust brick podium at street level drawing the visitor in via its strikingly visual entry arches.” The building’s material palette comprising opposing white and red detailed brickwork, white concrete and timber is designed to “create a rich and layered coastal effect”. “The design outcome will result in the addition of an elegant and visually interesting building, which will provide considerable amenity for residents and visitors that overall enhances the beachfront of the Palm Beach precinct.” Developers have been busy along Jefferson Lane and its surrounds at Palm Beach in the past few years. Earlier this year, Graya broke ground on its Gold Coast debut along the exclusive strip. Kloud is one of two greenlit boutique residential towers it is developing along Jefferson Lane. Together with Ripple , the projects will deliver more than 40 luxury apartments. Nearby, Sherpa Property Group has started construction on it nine-level Perspective Nexus project comprising 32 apartments on a 1581sq m Gold Coast Highway site.
