Multiplex to build $300 million Mantaray Marina and Residences in Main Beach

Mantaray Marina and Residences on the Gold Coast marks a significant milestone as Australia's inaugural superyacht-centric living, leisure, and lifestyle precinct.&nbsp;

Situated on the renowned Spit Peninsula in Main Beach, the visionary mixed-use waterfront venture secures its position as the only integrated residential project approved for this sought-after location.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=110018 project_image_fid=234857]

Joint venture partners Gordon Corp, led by Tim Gordon, and The Bruce Mathieson Group, the family business of the pub baron Bruce Mathieson, secured the greenfield site, nearly 10,000 sqm at 503 Sea World Drive,&nbsp;through a 120-year lease agreement with the Department of State Development, Manufacturing, Infrastructure, and Planning.

The project is the first of its kind on the Gold Coast, if not Australia, with private amenities including The Mantaray Club – an exclusive members-only on-water lounge in the heart of the superyacht marina, a health and wellness club, resort-style pool, and access to the private grounds of Rivermead Estate in the Gold Coast Hinterland.

The top-tier marina features 67 dedicated superyacht berths with 24/7 marina concierge and security, plus exclusive access to Mantaray Club and Australia’s first Riva lounge and bar.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=110018 project_image_fid=234843]

Only 24 luxury waterfront residences are part of the huge project, which will also include&nbsp;resort facilities, an exclusive Mantaray Health Club, and ground-floor retail and dining experiences.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=110018 project_image_fid=234848]

The Rothelowman-designed two, three and four-bedroom apartments, villas, and penthouses, are arranged in a U-shape and revolve around the resort-style amenity on the ground level, including two lap pools surrounded in lush tropical landscaping.

Inside Mantaray Residences, set to redefine luxury at Main Beach

Gordon Corp and pub baron Bruce Mathieson have launched their eagerly anticipated Mantaray Marina and Residences on The Spit, the first development to be delivered under The Spit Master Plan.

The $300 million mixed-use project, which is also the first new development on The Spit since Palazzo Versca,&nbsp;Sheraton Grand Mirage and Mariner’s Cove more than two decades ago, has already seen two $12 million villas sell to one Gold Coast family.

Gordon said the project is the first of its kind, with private amenities including a floating members-only lounge in the heart of the superyacht marina, a health and wellness club, resort-style pool, and access to the private grounds of Rivermead Estate in the Gold Coast Hinterland.

“The Mantaray provides access to a very private world,” Gordon said.

“With height limits on The Spit capped at three-levels, we saw an opportunity to deliver something truly boutique yet grand in scale, with an emphasis on lifestyle, outlook and space.”

The Rothelowman-designed residences comprise 24 two, three and four-bedroom apartments, villas and penthouses alongside a 67-berth superyacht marina, resort facilities and The Mantaray Club – an exclusive members-only on water lounge. Designed to ‘Platinum’ Gold Anchor status, the superyacht marina will provide long and short-term berth leasing, immediate ocean passage through the Gold Coast Seaway and year-round deep-water access, world-class marina operations, on-site security, and full-service concierge.

An activated retail plaza designed to create a strong link between The Broadwater and the Pacific Ocean will connect the precinct to its surrounds and provide access to leading restaurants and cafes.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=110018 project_image_fid=216339]

“The Mantaray Club is the centrepiece of the superyacht precinct, providing an unrivalled marina and clubhouse experience,” Gordon added.

“Here, residents and members can enjoy the highest standards of personal service including an arrival and departure lounge, restaurant and bar facilities, sun deck, and private dining and meeting rooms.

“Members of The Mantaray Lounge also have access to general superyacht marina operations, boat and berth hire facilities, marina security services, and a full-service concierge encompassing everything from repairs and maintenance to events, catering and coordinating onboard personnel.”

Gordon said local buyers dominated the pre-launch enquiries, which he puts down to their innate knowledge of, and connection to, The Spit.

“Those who live and breathe the Gold Coast are very passionate about The Spit, they have a connection to this place and understand the rarity of the opportunity,” he said.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=110018 project_image_fid=216340]

“There are only a finite number of residences that can ever be built on this protected peninsula, with the balance of developable land predominately dedicated to hotel and recreation uses.”

He said the family members who have purchased the two four-bedroom villas at The Mantaray are downsizing from their homes in Paradise Waters and were drawn to the privacy, security and absolute waterfront position of the homes.

Gordon Corp quietly opened the doors to its $5 million, 800 sqm sales display in May, transforming the former Golden Door Health Retreat into an ultra-luxury display suite and residence.

Two and three-bedroom residences start from $4.1 million, four-bedroom roof terrace residences start from $11.1 million, and the penthouse collection starts from $14.4 million.

Gordon Corp launches Mantaray Residences on The Spit with two $12 million sales

Having won the tender to develop The Village Centre at South Spit, on the Gold Coast's tightly held Seaworld Drive&nbsp;earlier in the year, local property&nbsp;developer Gordon Corp has submitted its application&nbsp;for the high-end mixed-use apartment development.

The Village Centre, at 503&nbsp;Seaworld Drive, will home just 30 apartments, known as the Mantaray Residences, as well as a food and drink outlet, retail spaces, and a 64-berth marina

Rothelowman has designed the two buildings in the form of a U-shape, which will home a mix of&nbsp;eight two-bedroom apartments, 10 three-bedroom apartments and 12 four-bedroom apartments.

They are centred around the resort-style amenity on the ground level, two lap pool befitting of their location near the Sheraton Mirage hotel.

<img alt="" data-entity-type="" data-entity-uuid="" height="744" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/the_spit_gordon_corp.jpg" width="1200" />

But 10 of the apartments also have their own private pools, located on the roof level of the four-storey building. Six will have longer, wet edge pools with a spa, looking out to the marina, as well as full outdoor kitchens, living and dining areas.

The four apartments at the rear of the block, also with the additional living and kitchen spaces, will have a plunge-style pool with spa.

Form Landscape handled the landscaping, with four key pillars behind their design thinking.

They want&nbsp;to grow a green peninsula, by establishing a sustainable and resilient landscape that draws cues from the endemic vegetation of the region.

They will promote tourism and recreation by creating a vibrant village centre with rich variety of communal spaces, as well as making a cultural connection and integrating people and places for gathering and celebration.

Exclusive: Gordon Corp file for $93 million The Village Centre, Main Beach redevelopment on Seaworld Drive

The Gold Coast is set to see one of its biggest ever residential resort-style developments.

The Shanghai-headquartered international property developer SPG Land, in a joint-venture with Australian developer Gordon Corp, has lodged plans for nearly 800 apartments to be built across three towers in the heart of Surfers Paradise.

They will be anchored by a new ground-level retail and dining plaza at the street level Ferny Avenue. The 1.15 hectare site will be bounded by Ferny Ave, one of Surfers main streets, as well as&nbsp;Surfers Paradise Boulevard, Pandanus Avenue and Ocean Avenue near the Surfers Paradise North light rail station.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=106566 project_image_fid=185856]

The 38, 40 and 42 level towers will home 792 apartments and two swimming pools, one a suspended glass-bottom lap pool set on the 26th level, a Gold Coast first.

There will also be an infinity lagoon pool on the podium level.

Each tower will have its own podium level interconnected by walkways to create a unique elevated &lsquo;seaside village&rsquo; for residents, with each tower podium offering separate resort amenities.

The towers, designed by Rothelowman,&nbsp;will also have&nbsp;their own dedicated sky lounges occupying the entire 26th level, each with customised amenities. Penthouse owners will have the added exclusivity of access to their own private rooftop gardens and recreation areas.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=106566 project_image_fid=185862]

SPG Land chairman David Wang described the proposed Surfers Paradise development as a flagship project for the company that will create a sought-after destination in the city&rsquo;s traditional tourism heart.

&ldquo;This is a transformational development, not only for Surfers Paradise but for the Gold Coast more broadly,&rdquo;&nbsp;Wang said. &ldquo;We have had a long association with the Gold Coast, and it&rsquo;s especially exciting that we have been able to enlist the talents of a remarkable local team to bring this project to fruition.

&ldquo;Our development is not only destined to be an exciting new residential address, but a new public space that everyone can enjoy whether they&rsquo;re taking a shortcut to the beach or settling in with friends in the plaza for a morning coffee or an alfresco lunch.&rdquo;

Tim Gordon of Gordon Corp said the partnership&nbsp;would be a game changer for the Gold Coast.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=106566 project_image_fid=185859]

&ldquo;We are absolutely delighted to be involved in this project with SPG Land,&rdquo; Gordon said. &ldquo;This will be a landmark project for the Gold Coast that will be an internationally recognised destination.&rdquo;

&ldquo;We believe this is a project for its time, created by looking to the past to find what made Surfers Paradise such an iconic address for generations.&rdquo;

Project Overview:

Tower 1:&nbsp;The heart of the proposed project, Tower 1 has been designed with a dynamic, social and youthful theme offering all residents access to the tower&rsquo;s main pool and a separate lounge pool complete with a pool bar and all-day dining facilities, VIP dining area, a day-care centre, a barbecue area and a resident&rsquo;s gym and yoga garden with the sky lounge featuring co- working spaces, bar, indoor and outdoor seating lounge, and an interactive sky gym.

Tower 2: Tower 2&nbsp;will offer a more peaceful environment suited to families and will have its own indoor and outdoor kids&rsquo; zone, while the sky lounge will boast a sky gym, plus yoga and spa facilities.

Tower 3: The third tower&nbsp;will deliver a level of luxury and sophistication sought by the mature lifestyle buyer with the podium encompassing its own caf&eacute;, breakfast and dining terraces, a library and meeting rooms while the sky lounge will feature the city&rsquo;s first suspended lap pool, a cigar lounge and wine bar.
