First look exclusive: Molti secure prime Bilinga site, plan luxury apartment project
Burgeoning South East Queensland developer Molti has honed in on its next project.
Half way through their Noosa project, a collection of just six high-end homes dubbed Residences on Wyandra, Molti, led by Ben Teague and Matt Martino, is set to develop on the beach in Bilinga.

They've acquired a prime beachfront site at 307 Golden Four Drive through GV Property Group and have submitted plans for a luxury apartment development.
The BDA Architecture-designed project, next door to the under construction Si Bilinga apartment development and a few doors down from the recently launched Pipis by Siera, will have 19 apartments designed for the owner-occupier.

There will be 16 three-bedroom apartments on offer, 15 of those with multi-purpose rooms, and three four-bedroom apartments.
One of the four-bedders is on the ground level, spanning over 400 sqm of indoor and outdoor space. That has its own private terrace with plunge pool, outdoor barbecue and alfresco, and an outdoor firpelace. The other two penthouses, across the the top two levels of the 11-level building, each have a rooftop pool, barbecue deck, and multi-purpose room.
The resident amenity, in the form of a swimming pool, outdoor kitchen and dining area, and sauna, is located on the ground floor.

Ben Teague said the site offered the perfect opportunity for the group's next venture.
"As soon as we saw the site, was saw the opportunity it provided for a striking addition to the Bilinga beachfront," Teague said.
He said their brief to BDA was to create something that was a little out of the norm to create a point of difference on the beachfront.
"They've certainly met the brief, creating something which will stand as a welcome addition to the beach for years to come."
BDA said the project offers the opportunity to design an innovative architectural building within the Bilinga Beach precinct.

"The proposed residential building provides a coastal character that looks to create a timeless architectural landmark along Golden Four Drive and the beachfront," BDA noted in their design statement.
"The intent of the design is to create a high quality residential apartment building, achieving a design outcome that provides a high standard of liveability and generates an appropriate scale in the developing context."
The building has been broken up into three distinct areas, BDA says.
"The ‘base’ is a highly detailed and landscaped entry, which grounds the tower into it’s natural context, providing cascading planting from above and deep planting from below. The ‘middle’ is a series of vertical and horizontal elements, full height glass, vertical angled blades walls, horizontal slab projections, sliding privacy screens and generous balconies. The ‘top’ is capped by a large expressed floating roof, with recessed glazing and private rooftop recreation areas.
"With all 3 areas combined, the overall tower form is cohesive and an elegant addition to the emerging Bilinga skyline."

The 1,124 sqm double block is currently occupied by a three-level walk-up and a three-level house.
The team’s other venture, alongside former professional surfer and Olympic Bronze medallist, Owen Wright, includes four luxury residences in Byron Bay achieving a record off the plan $6.5 million sale. Only one of these properties remains available to purchase.
