Tower reveal: Architect Joe Adsett officially lodges plans for Rainbow Bay tower Rockpool
The well-known architect turned developer Joe Adsett has officially lodged plans for his new Coolangatta tower, Rockpool at Rainbow Bay.
Adsett secured the site at 154-156 Marine Parade late last year from Sunland, who had demolished the two smaller apartment developments on the 1,194 sqm block.
They were planning on constructing four separate towers on the site, which also included the adjoining Greenmount Resort site which Sunland owned. The plans were for 247 apartments across four buildings ranging in height from 15 to 17 storeys.
The proposed building height exceeded the 38 metre Code Assessable building height limit, so the Gold Coast City Council requested more information, which triggered Sunland to pull the application.
Adsett's plans are for a 20 unit development across 13 storeys on the southern side of Marine Parade. The development is oriented to the north and will benefit from views from Snapper Rocks to Surfers Paradise.
The ground level will comprise a single three bedroom unit, a secondary lobby and resident storage.
The grand lobby will be located on level one, with another three bedroom unit, as well as the communal recreation where there's a pool, deck area, gym, sauna, a business room and a meeting room.
Levels two to nine will be made up of two three bedroom units per level. Level 10 will contain a single level five bedroom penthouse and Level 11 will home a double storey, four bedroom penthouse.
The development will contain three car parking levels and access to be obtained via Eden Avenue through the adjacent site to the west.
