Dusk Group launches Sunset Caloundra apartments
Caloundra is set for a rare new apartment development with the launch of Sunset Caloundra, a new collection of apartments from the Brisbane-based Dusk Group.
Dusk Group swooped on the prime 1,255 sqm Bombala Terrace site last year, revising the previous plans to create a seven-level building with 36 apartments, where prices start from $650,000.
Several of the apartments in Sunset Caloundra have already been snapped up by South East Queensland locals, who intend to either reside in the homes or use them as weekenders.
MAS Architecture Studio designed the building, drawing inspiration from Caloundra’s coastal character, with a material palette that references the colours and textures of the surrounding landscape.
Lead architect Nick Symonds said the gently curved balconies, textured finishes, and generous glazing were designed to respond to both the subtropical climate and the area’s laid-back lifestyle.
The development will also include a ground-floor swimming pool, BBQ facilities, communal green space, and a residents’ lounge.
The building’s position offers wide-ranging views in multiple directions. Apartments on higher levels are expected to have outlooks over Bulcock Beach and Bribie Island to the east, with glimpses of the Glasshouse Mountains to the west.
Dusk Group Director Anthony Short said the project’s location was a key factor in its appeal.
“It’s rare to find sites in Caloundra that offer this combination of elevation, walkability, and proximity to both beach and town centre,” he said.
Within a short walk are Kings Beach, the Caloundra Bowls Club, Bicentennial Park, a local supermarket, and nearby cafés and dining options. The suburb is also earmarked for a future train station as part of the Sunshine Coast rail extension.
Dusk Group is expecting to commence construction of Sunset Caloundra in Q2 2025.
The developer is also nearing completion of Aurora on Depper, a boutique townhouse development in St Lucia, Brisbane. The Caloundra project marks the company’s first foray into the Sunshine Coast apartment market.
