First look: Bathla lodges plans for Moreton Bay apartment development

Bhart Bhushan’s Bathla Group are set to add Queensland to their ever evolving pipeline, with the group lodging plans for a $32.4 million Moreton Bay development.

The prominent Sydney developers are set to make waves in Deception Bay, with plans for two residential buildings that will deliver 101 apartments upon completion at 7 Captain Cook Parade.

Bathla bought the 2,908 sqm site for $1.865 million, from Chinese investor Wenxing Ma, who has previously lodged ambitious plans for a 94-level Broadbeach tower.

Situated across an amalgamated lot along Captain Cook Parade and Wallin Avenue, Bathla will construct Building A, which will comprise just three three-bedroom apartments, as well as Building B, which will offer a mix of apartment types. 

There'll be six one-bedroom apartments in Building B, along with 50 two-bed units, 40 three-bedders, eight four-bed apartments, and just one five-bedroom unit.

The group engaged architecture firm Jackson Teece to design the two buildings, which heavily feature aluminium windows and timber cladding.

Each building will be crowned with a rooftop terrace, with four separate spaces set to don the rooftops, providing a range of open, breakout spaces for residents.

Both buildings will benefit from their own lift access, as well as basement car parking which will accomodate 110 vehicles and 81 bicycles. 

The site will put residents within walking distance to the water and local boat ramp, as well as a number of parks and open green space, including Bancroft Park and Wallin Family Park.
