Exclusive: Gardner Vaughan smashes Bokarina price record with Bask penthouse sale
A penthouse atop Bask Bokarina, the latest Sunshine Coast apartment development by builder-developer Gardner Vaughan Group, has become the most expensive apartment in the burgeoning coastal suburb.
The 346 sqm penthouse, the largest in the two-tower development on Bokarina Boulevard, sold for $5,499,000. The sale is only just shy of being the most expensive sale in Bokarina, only topped by a six-bedroom waterfront house on over 2,200 sqm.
The Bask penthouse buyer had secured a premium apartment in the building late last year, however when the penthouses were revealed, he decided to upgrade.
GVG Director Sam Gardner says the local buyer also has an apartment in Zinc, GVG’s most recently completed Bokarina development nearby.
"Our strongest endorsement is when buyers return and there’s no better testament to the quality of our design, build, and sales process than someone choosing to purchase with us again", Gardner said.
The penthouse has four bedrooms, an MPR, study, and a large 70 sqm balcony with uninterrupted ocean and mountain views. It is one of four penthouses that form the Bask Penthouse Collection, which will sit atop the Mydas building. They start from just under $3.3 million.
Bask will consist of two buildings, Mydas and Caretta, the Latin species names for the Green Sea Turtle and Loggerhead Turtle, both of which are known to nest on Bokarina Beach. They will house 135 apartments when completed in late 2026 by Gardner Vaughan’s in-house construction arm.
Each residence includes an open floorplan, a large balcony, a master bedroom with an ensuite and walk-in robe, a study nook, a powder room, and a dedicated laundry with linen storage.
Residents will have access to amenities such as a podium-level outdoor heated pool, gym, recreational areas, herb garden, DIY dog wash, car wash, vacuum bays, function rooms, and onsite parcel lockers.
The residences sit above nine retail spaces spanning over 1,000 sqm along Bokarina Boulevard, positioned as a new lifestyle hub for the area.
Buyers have been drawn to the project's location, offering uninterrupted views of the Pacific Ocean, Lake Kawana, and the Glass House Mountains. Bokarina Beach Park is right across the street, and Club Kawana community club is less than a 10-minute walk.
