Apartment developer Mosaic is onto its fifth tower in as many years in the booming Broadbeach.

Mosaic, currently delivering sister towers Lily by Mosaic and Marella by Mosaic after previously completing Bela and Dawn nearby, has filed plans for 59 apartments at 22 Mary Avenue, next door to the new 47-level tower planned by Abedian & Co.

Mosaic had Melbourne-based architecture firm Fraser & Partners create the scheme for the 38-level building.

Elenberg Fraser, who designed the soon-to-be-completed Mondrian in Burleigh Heads but whose majority of work has been in the Victorian capital, cited the famous quote from German-American architect Ludwig Mies van der Rohe in its design statement submitted to the Gold Coast City Council this week

“A statement of minimalist design, stripping away the unnecessary to reveal the essence of structure and space.”

The three-level podium will be occupied by car parking, while the fourth and fifth levels are dedicated to amenities like a swimming pool and pool deck, a gym, and a wellness area with a sauna, steam room, cold plunge, magnesium plunge, and a spa, and a library lounge, boardroom, and an office.

There will be just two apartments per floor from level six to level 33, one with three bedrooms and 166 sqm of internal living space and the other with three bedrooms and an MPR with just under 200 sqm of internal space. They each have an 18 sqm balcony, oriented east to face the ocean.

The top three levels will home three full-floor penthouses, each with four bedrooms, a home office, and several entertaining areas. They will have 365 sqm of living space.

GV Property Group's Luke Reaby put the site together, securing around a 40 per cent uplift on values for the eight individual owners in the late 1960s building.

The 1,014 sqm site has a 33-metre frontage to Mary Avenue, a popular street for both developers and buyers due to its proximity to Broadbeach State School, which ensures protected views of the beach and ocean.
