The Brisbane-based developer Bottega Group have launched their $52 million Broadbeach apartment block 123OBR.

The collection of apartments, described as vertically stacked verdant Queensland beach houses, is named after its location of 123 Old Burleigh Road, one row back from Broadbeach.

Designed by Woods Bagot, there are 14 whole-floor apartments in the boutique development, as well as a whole floor resort deck half way up the tower.

Priced from $2.65 million, a typical whole-floor apartment at 123OBR will offer 224sqm of living space with three bedrooms with walk-in wardrobes, two bathrooms and an open plan living and dining areas which have views through the floor-to-ceiling glass windows.

Living areas are complemented by an extended balcony overlooking the ocean shaped like a ship’s bow and an idyllic enclosed retreat inspired by the veranda of a traditional Queenslander.

Nick Malloch, co-director of Bottega Group, says their whole philosophy has been to incorporate a unique interpretation of the modern beach home into an apartment building.

“From the outset we wanted to embed that philosophy into a group of exclusive residences with like-minded people in a vertical village that would stand the test of time," Malloch said.

“We certainly believe we have done that and the inquiry and interest prior to launch has reflected that.”

Included in the 14 apartments is a two-level penthouse crowning the building and a two-level pool house starting from the ground floor.

The pool house spans 388 sqm over two levels and has five bedrooms with walk-in wardrobes, two powder rooms, a separate laundry, a home cinema/family room, a wine cellar and a private pool, garden and balcony.

The two-level penthouse spans 384 sqm and has four bedrooms, each with walk-in wardrobes, plus three bathrooms, two powder rooms, two internal verandas and two separate living and dining areas, a private study and a gym.

All residents of 123OBR will enjoy five-star resort amenities on Level 6 with a poolside retreat adorned with curated artwork.

This space provides residents an extension of their private living spaces with the inclusion of additional facilities such as a commercial kitchen, space for a shared home office or library and private dining for guests.

Woods Bagot’s lead designer David Lee says Bottega's open brief without parameters allowed them complete flexibility with how to define the site, which is where the series of vertically stacked verdant Queensland beach houses was born.

“This unique approach to collaboration really allowed us to sequence the space in a way that allowed us to design residences like private homes.

“The interior layouts of the homes are carefully separated into private sleeping quarters looking towards the Hinterland, and active and functional living spaces towards the ocean."
