Gold Coast builder and developer John Kearney, head of the well known local building firm Greyburn, has secured development approval for a seven-storey apartment project in the heart of Coolangatta.

Positioned within the highly sought after and quiet residential Kirra Hill pocket, the project will deliver beachside apartments, within walking distance of some of Coolangatta’s most iconic beaches and best amenity on the Gold Coast.

Kearney, who has over 35 years of experience developing in the South-East Queensland region, said they were excited to deliver the project, which will come to a market that is in high demand.  

“Our team lives and breathes the Gold Coast so we want to position our projects in areas that inspire a great lifestyle,” Kearney said.

Located on a prime corner site at 30 Garrick Street, just 350 metres from Coolangatta Beach, the project will deliver 40 two-bedroom apartments with an average size of 105 sqm.

All apartments will feature two bathrooms, in a range of floorplans, with smaller affordable options, to larger more spacious layouts with additional study areas.

High ceilings will provide natural light throughout, while considered interior designs encourage cross-ventilation.

“30 Garrick Street is designed to suit a wide-range of buyers seeking a high-quality, well- designed apartment that offers a relaxed beachside, walk-to-wherever lifestyle,” Kearney said.

“Our plans for the project are founded on providing well designed high, quality residences close to the beach with a focus on highly usable floor plans,” Kearney added.

“Our design considers 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.

“The position enables residents to park their car in the secure basement and walk to everything their lifestyle requires whether it be basking on the beach or walking the ocean way path until they need to stop and enjoy world class coffee and food. Not to forget the daily ritual of immersing in the Pacific Ocean.”

Crowning the project will be a rooftop pool and barbecue area, complete with outdoor dining space and relaxation zones, encased in lush tropical greenery.

The ground floor will cater for modern apartment living with a surf shower, a secure parcel room, a function room, as well as work-from-home space.

Kearney’s Greyburn has been able to navigate the challenges of the building industry of late, recently stepping up to complete construction of Fraser Property Group’s $121 million master-planned community, Minnippi Quarter in Brisbane, following the collapse of Condev Constructions.

Greyburn portfolio includes a spat of successful residential and commercial projects in SEQ, including Palladium, comprising 39 double-storey townhouses at Hope Island, along with the ORO Apartments, which delivered a boutique collection of luxury apartments at Biggera Waters.

Kearney plans to officially launch 30 Garrick Street to the market in the coming months.
