The top three Chevron Island apartment developments on the market
Chevron Island has undergone a full regeneration, with buyers descending on the village-style island just off across the bridge from the lifestyle and entertainment hub of Surfers Paradise.
Since the opening of the new $60 million arts precinct HOTA (Home of The Arts), Australia's largest regional art gallery, Chevron Island has well and truly been in the spotlight, both for developers, who are seeking to creating apartments on the limited land on the island, and buyers who want to live the quiet village, community-driven lifestyle, while still being within touching distance of Surfers Paradise.
Urban has taken a look at some of the best apartments currently for sale on Chevron Island.
Orama
Developer: Aniko Group
The latest developer to take to Chevron Island is Aniko Group, who made a name for themselves for their extensive redevelopment of Hope Island.
They've recently launched Orama, which rise 21 levels from 12-16 Weemala Street, conveniently located just off Thomas Drive, the retail, food and cafe which dissects the island.
The site is also located on the sought-after eastern side of Chevron Island, which makes it just a short 950 metre walk over the bridge to the heart of Surfers Paradise.
There will be 102 apartments in the tower, six units per floor on the lower levels comprising two-bed, two-bath units with a study, and most with two car parks. Prices start from $795,000.
On the higher levels there are three-bedroom skyhomes and two penthouses.
Plus Architecture has designed the tower, noting in their submission that they always design with the intent to produce buildings that are not only beautiful, but considered, functional and lasting.
