Construction commences on SOL by Walker in Maroochydore
Construction is officially underway on SOL by Walker, the new residential apartment development in the heart of Maroochydore City Centre.
Delivered by Walker Corporation, SOL will bring sustainable and connected urban living to the Sunshine Coast, supporting hundreds of jobs throughout construction and beyond.
The first 19-level tower will feature 112 residences with views across the coast and hinterland, resort-style amenities, and direct access to the thriving retail, dining, and green spaces of the Maroochydore City Centre.
Deputy Premier and Minister for State Development, Infrastructure and Planning Jarrod Bleijie said the Crisafulli Government was committed to boosting the supply of housing to create more homes for Queenslanders sooner.
“This is an exciting time for the Sunshine Coast as we deliver a lasting legacy from the 2032 Games, including new housing, hotels and infrastructure,” Deputy Premier Bleijie said.
“The Crisafulli LNP Government is unlocking more land and kickstarting critical infrastructure to get more homes built right across the State. It’s part of our plan to find a place to call home for more Queenslanders sooner.
“With new infrastructure like The Wave connecting this city to the rest of the region and the wider South East Queensland transport network, Maroochydore City Centre is well positioned for its role in the 2032 Games.
“This marks an exciting milestone for the Maroochydore City Centre which will serve Queenslanders well beyond 2032 by creating new opportunities for families to live and work right here on the coast.”
Sunshine Coast Council Mayor Rosanna Natoli said SOL by Walker reflected the region’s bold approach to creating a smart, liveable and inclusive environment for future generations.
“This is a proud moment for our community and a major milestone in shaping Maroochydore as Australia’s most progressive regional location,” Mayor Natoli said.
“The beginning of construction of SOL by Walker sends a strong signal that the Sunshine Coast is delivering high-quality homes, vibrant public spaces, and jobs for locals.
“This precinct is at the forefront of innovation, sustainability and opportunity and will play an integral role in the region’s economy of the future plus our contribution to the 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games. We are building a legacy for the Sunshine Coast that goes far beyond the next decade.”
Walker Corporation Managing Director and CEO David Gallant said the company is proud to help bring a generational vision to life through quality design, engineering, and placemaking.
“We are thrilled to kick off construction on SOL by Walker, our flagship residential project in South East Queensland and another great chapter in the Maroochydore City Centre story,” Gallant said.
“This is a community-designed project to evolve with the needs of the Sunshine Coast region, and the delivery of homes, retail, green spaces, and seamless transport will ensure Maroochydore becomes a benchmark for regional city-making, especially as we prepare to host the world in 2032.
“This is the first of many residences we will deliver here and we’re proud to be working with SunCentral, Sunshine Coast Council and the Queensland Government to help realise the full vision of this incredible precinct.”
SunCentral CEO Amanda Yeates said SOL by Walker is a major catalyst for unlocking the full potential of the Maroochydore City Centre vision.
“We’ve spent years carefully planning and delivering the foundations of a truly 21st-century CBD and now, with residential development underway, we’re entering an exciting new phase,” Yeates said.
“SOL by Walker is building on our fast-growing community and bringing the Maroochydore City Centre to life as a place to live as well as work and visit. It embodies the design excellence, accessibility, and environmental leadership our partnership has championed from the start.”
