Greyburn files for second Coolangatta apartment project
Coolangatta's busy beachfront is set for another apartment development.
It's a second Coolangatta project filed by John Kearney, Managing Director at the construction firm Greyburn and a director at Alvey. He's submitted plans for an eight-level development at 30 Garrick Street, on the corner of Garrick and the dress circle Musgrave Street.
There will be just 40 apartments, all two-bedders, with five different configurations on offer. One of the two-bed configurations also has a study.
BDA Architecture, who handled the design, noted in their submission to the Gold Coast City Council that the 40 units will service a wide sector of the market from downsizers wishing to stay within proximity to their existing detached dwellings to young couples seeking proximity to the beach and employment.
Internal areas of the apartments will range from 82 sqm to 100 sqm, with the total area's including balconies ranging from 91 sqm to 113 sqm.
Level eight will home the rooftop amenity, with a swimming pool and communal barbecue area.
BDA said the proposed architecture is a contemporary coastal and local vernacular.
"It will offer a layered façade of brick, screening, projections and landscaping that will knit locality together."
There will be just five apartments per floor.
"An exceptionally located site that provides a unique setting for a medium density residential complex to be set within close proximity to the significant amenity of the Coolangatta centre and the recreational amenity afforded to the Coolangatta beaches," BDA continued.
BDA said the proposal "knits Garrick and Musgrave Street."
"The proposal will assist in negotiating a sensitive transition from the centre zone uses and scale of Musgrave Street to the residential spaces of Garrick Street."
"The concept is to provide a variety of two-bedroom dwellings that mix between smaller affordable floor plans and larger spacious lifestyle layouts."
In December Greyburn lodged their first Coolangatta project at 39-41 McLean Street, which again will provide more affordable stock than what's currently on offer in the area.
Also designed by BDA Architecture, the 19-level building will have 63 apartments, made up of 28 two-beds, starting from 85 sqm of internal space, and 35 three-bedroom apartments which start from 110 sqm.
It sits next door to the old Jazzland Dance Palais which Melbourne developer BeckDev are seeking to turn in to apartments.
Crowning the new McLean Street project will be a rooftop pool, gym, lounge and kitchen area, and indoor and outdoor dining spaces. The development will be anchored at street-level by a cafe.
