New Ramsgate Beach apartment development to replace Coles supermarket

A Coles supermarket facing Ramsgate Beach is set to be replaced by a new apartment development.

The Coles and accompanying car park has occupied the prime 4,480 sqm block at 277 The Grand Parade, on the corner of Ramsgate Road and facing Botany Bay, for a number of decades.

The $50 million plans to demolish the current Coles building and build a six-level apartment building have been submitted by high-end Sutherland Shire developer Bronxx, directed by Ciaran Goodman.

Bronxx is behind the likes of the award-winning Oasis project in Cronulla and Acqua and Omnia, both also in Cronulla.

The new Ramsgate Beach project will have 44 apartments, each with double garages. There will be just the four two-bedroom apartments and 40 three-bedroom apartments on offer.

Coles will be coming back to the site once it's developed. They'll be taking the new 2,270 sqm retail space on the ground level, while there will be a further 279 parking spaces primarily for Coles customers.

Bronxx has had Craft Architecture design the project which is located in one of the most sought after spots in Ramsgate Beach. The development will sit opposite the Sans Souci Beach Walking Path and is only a few hundred metres from Ramsgate Beach House, the Ramsgate RSL Memorial Club and Tonbridge Street Reserve.
