Home of late Gold Coast developer Con Nikiforides listed for November auction

The Mediterranean-inspired home of the late Con Nikiforides, a Gold Coast developer, is heading to auction.

The home is 58-60 Cabana Boulevard in Benowa Waters.

The developer, known for building Oracle Towers and Niecon Plaza, passed away in 2017.

Nikiforides’s wife, Tina Nikiforides, said he had a clear vision from day one of the design he wanted for the house and that his DNA flowed through the property.

“It was a Con project from the beginning until the very end. The coffee room on the river side of the house is one of my favourite rooms and where I have some of my fondest memories,” Tina Nikiforides said. 

“He set about successfully recreating the British Colonial style of Singapore’s Raffles Hotel in this particular room…He was also a big nature lover. He actually paid for a Poinciana Tree to be excavated from our old house with cranes and a semi-trailer to export the tree to the new house.” 

Ray White Broadbeach Sales Agents Sam Guo and Julia Kuo echoed the family sentiment of Nikiforides, describing the home as a “lived in and much-loved family home”. 

“This home is masterfully built using solid concrete construction and boasts flawless finishes throughout, including vast expanses of travertine marble, and is anchored on a rare 2,003 square metre double block and offers an enviable 40-metre main river frontage,” Guo said. 

Features include an executive home office, an upper level billiards room with kitchenette facilities, a fourth bathroom, under house storage and a double garage with stately porte-cochere. 

It is situated in a quiet street, roughly 6 kilometres from The Southport School and the heart of Surfers Paradise, as well as 8.5 kilometres from St Hilda's and vibrant Broadbeach, plus within easy reach of local shops, cafes, hospitals and amenities.  

The auction will take place on site on November 2.
