Sunland's $100 million Gold Goast retail precinct plan

Sunland Group will develop a retail precinct in Mermaid Waters on the Gold Coast as part of its $850 million, 42-hectare master planned community at The Lakes.

Called ‘The Lanes’, it will feature 17,135 square metres of urban laneways and is designed by architectural firm Benoy.

The Lanes has an estimated end value of $100 million. Construction is anticipated to commence late 2017 pending DA approval, for completion in 2020.

Sunland Managing Director, Sahba Abedian, said the 2.1 hectare precinct will adjoin the existing retail centre owned by the Group and will provide approximately 100 new retail tenancies and 780 car parks.

“Our vision for The Lanes is to create an expansive lakefront retail village where beautiful green spaces are interwoven with urban laneways, sophisticated food markets and unique retail and leisure experiences," he said.

“The design presents an inspired interpretation of both high street and village retail, where shopfronts and laneways embrace the Gold Coast’s wonderful climate and become a vibrant part of the social fabric of the community.

“The Lanes presents an opportunity for retailers to become a part of this unique master planned environment, which over the next decade will become home to 3,000-4,000 residents, all living within walking distance of the retail village."
