Marquee Development Partners

Marquee Development Partners has marked the completion of its third&nbsp;Gold Coast project, with a ribbon cutting on the site of The Catalina, the apartment tower on Chevron Island.

The Acting Mayor Cr Donna Gates joined Marquee to commemorate the official delivery of what has become the first in a spate of art deco-inspired developments&nbsp;on the island, which is rapidly emerging as the city&rsquo;s arts and cultural capital.

&ldquo;It&rsquo;s great to see buildings like this which connect the new residents directly into this amenity and culture,&quot; Gates said.

&quot;The Catalina is a great example of a medium density development that helps provide housing options and choices for locals to downsize, upgrade or purchase their first home.&quot;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=6517 project_image_fid=194376]

The Catalina comprises 75 apartments over nine&nbsp;storeys, offering residents views across the river, city skyline and hinterland. Residents also get access&nbsp;to a range of private amenities including a pool, gym, private dining, cinema, and rooftop residents club.

All The Catalina apartments were sold prior to construction commencing. Buyers represented an even mix of locals and interstate purchasers, with many relocating from Greater Sydney up to the Gold Coast.

&ldquo;The Catalina helped provide an achievable housing option and choice for locals to downsize, upgrade or purchase their first home, without compromising on quality or amenity,&rdquo; Azura Griffen, sales manager at Marquee, said.

Local Queensland builder Rawcorp delivered the nine-storey development after construction was fast tracked on the back of strong sales.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=6517 project_image_fid=194377]

&ldquo;We are delighted to have delivered yet another collection of high-quality residences for our= buyers who share our passion for this unique pocket of the Gold Coast&rdquo;&nbsp;Griffen added.

&ldquo;Rawcorp has done a remarkable job at bringing our visionary development to life and we are very proud to welcome The Catalina&rsquo;s very first residents into their stunning new homes.&rdquo;

The Catalina marked&nbsp;Marquee and Rawcorp&rsquo;s third&nbsp;completed project on the Gold Coast together, with Rawcorp now underway on the delivery of Marquee&rsquo;s sold-out Palm Beach developments, Palm Beach Residences and&nbsp;Northshore, which are due for completion in 2023.

&ldquo;Rawcorp has an impeccable track record with the timely and reliable delivery of projects across Southeast Queensland, and we look forward to carrying forward this partnership into future Marquee projects,&rdquo; Marquee Development Director, Steve Harrison, said.

The Catalina is Marquee&rsquo;s second Chevron Island development, following on from the sell- out success, Stanhill Residences, which was also delivered by Rawcorp and was awarded the 2020 Master Builders Queensland Housing and Construction Award for the best Medium Density Apartment Development.

All The Catalina apartments were sold prior to construction commencing. Buyers represented an even mix of locals and interstate purchasers, with many relocating from Greater Sydney up to the Gold Coast.

Marquee Development Partners compete sold-out The Catalina, Chevron Island apartments

After a number of back-to-back sell outs up and down the Gold Coast, Marquee Development Partners has been given the greenlight for their next project.

The luxury tower, dubbed Monterey, on one of the last remaining Kirra beachfront sites at 4-6 Musgrave Street, will have 35 apartments across its 14 levels, with just high-end three and four-bedrooms on offer.

It&#39;s been designed by the Brisbane-based Ellivo Architects, and will replace an ageing apartment block of 15 which has been on the 1,163 sqm&nbsp;site for over five decades.

It will be Marquee&#39;s 10th project on the Gold Coast in the last four years.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112210 project_image_fid=198836]

Most recently Marquee secured sell-outs at SOL Kirra Beach, Palm Beach Residences and Northshore, both&nbsp;at Palm Beach, and Cannes Waterfront, One Cannes and Shoreline, all three located between Broadbeach and&nbsp;Surfers Paradise.

Marquee has spent the past two years amalgamating the Kirra site through individual negotiations with 15 apartment owners.

&ldquo;We believe this is the best site available in Kirra today,&rdquo;&nbsp;Marquee Development Partners&rsquo; sales manager Azura Griffen&nbsp;said.

&ldquo;No other remaining site offers this much beach frontage, so it&rsquo;s quite unique and well worth the significant effort from our end to acquire the property.&rdquo;

The site is located along the Kirra beachfront and has around&nbsp;45 metres of north-facing beach frontage, with an aspect that captures vistas of the Gold Coast coastline from north to south.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=112210 project_image_fid=198839]

&ldquo;With all apartments enjoying a north-facing aspect, residents will enjoy vistas that capture sunrises over Snapper Rocks and sunsets behind the Gold Coast skyline,&rdquo; Griffin added.

&ldquo;The extra-wide frontage has allowed us to design every apartment with kitchens, living spaces and master bedrooms all facing the beach, providing a deep connection between the interiors and the stunning panoramas that surround.

&ldquo;All this with the natural beauty of Kirra Beach and its world-class surf breaks at your door. Kirra today offers even more with an emerging caf&eacute;, restaurant and entertainment scene that has made this southern Gold Coast gem one of the most sought-after lifestyle destinations for residential buyers over the past 12 months.&rdquo;

Marquee has already started receiving a number of expressions of interest from potential buyers ahead of the official launch of Monterey Kirra Beach in April.

&ldquo;Buyers have been closely monitoring our progress with this project, several of which are familiar with the high quality marquee developments and how quickly they have been selling out.

&ldquo;Monterey is an exceptional site and we&rsquo;ve crafted an equally exceptional development to do it justice, and the market is responding well to our vision.&rdquo;

Aria Property Group, whose focus is sustainable developments in Brisbane, won five awards on the night, spread across their residential and commercial efforts in the Fish Lane Town Square precinct.

The Standard by Aria, their flagship development with 260 apartments, Tesla vehicles for residents, and 2,000 sqm of resident amenity, won the awards for Construction Excellence, Design Excellence, and the best High Density Development.

The Fish Lane Town Square took out the awards for Urban Renewal and Retail and Commercial Excellence.

Aria recently launched their latest sustainable project, Trellis, in South Bris​bane, which will no doubt more than hold its own at the awards following its completion in mid-2023.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=108278 project_image_fid=173599]

Mosaic Property Group, the&nbsp;popular Brisbane, Gold Coast, and Sunshine Coast developer, won two awards for two of its Sunshine Coast developments.

&quot;Everyone at Mosaic, at every level of our business, works extremely hard to deliver benchmark luxury residential projects, coupled with exceptional service and experience for our customers. We are grateful to be acknowledged once again amongst the industry&#39;s very best.&quot;

An unsurprising win was Marquee Development Partners, who won the&nbsp;Marketing Excellence Award for their&nbsp;Cannes&nbsp;project. It&nbsp;became the number one selling project in the first half of 2020, with 94 of the 96 apartments sold prior to construction commencing.

The development was also a finalist for Project of the Year.

Queensland's biggest apartment developers take out UDIA QLD awards

The Brisbane-based&nbsp;developer&nbsp;Marquee&nbsp;Developments are making their first play on the Gold Coast.

Their latest plans submitted to the Gold Coast City Council will see a luxury high-rise tower developed at 17 Federation Avenue in Broadbeach, their first in the central Gold Coast suburb.

There will be just 22 apartments across the 20-level, 62 metre tower, crowned by a massive two-level penthouse.

Hayes Anderson Lynch Architects have drawn up the plans for the 62 metre building, which is targeted at the owner-occupier, with six two-bedroom apartments, six three-bedroom apartments and 10-four bedders.

<img alt="" data-entity-type="" data-entity-uuid="" height="672" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/marquee_broadbeach_2.jpg" width="1200" />

Levels two to seven will home two apartments per floor, then from level eight upwards will be nine whole-floor, four-bedroom apartments, each with over 290 sqm of living space and a media room. The building is oriented so the balconies capture views of the ocean to the south-east, and south-west to the hinterland.

The four-bedroom penthouse spans the top two levels. The bedrooms are located on the first level, then stairs from the library space lead to the upstairs living areas. The open plan kitchen and living area opens to a 30 sqm balcony, while a second lounge area opens to a 70 sqm terrace with its own private pool.

Each of the three bedroom apartments will&nbsp;have a master with walk-in wardrobes and balconies starting from over 16 sqm.

The ground level will offer residents 230 sqm of communal space and amenity, including a swimming pool and&nbsp;spa, dining and barbecue area and a lounge /cinema room.

<img alt="" data-entity-type="" data-entity-uuid="" height="867" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/marquee_broadbeach_1.jpg" width="1200" />

Marquee, not to be confused with Marquee Development Partners who exclusively operate in the area, secured the 632 sqm site, mid-way along Federation Avenue, between the intersections of Australia Avenue to the north and Queensland Avenue to the south, early this year for $3.69 million. Currently on the site is the mid 1970s apartment building Marmadua, a three-storey walk up with basement parking underneath.

Marquee's track record is a successful one in Brisbane.

Founded in 2012 by Nick Madden and John Langford-Ely, Marquee's patch has primarily been in the luxury townhouse space just outside of the Brisbane CBD.

TOWN PLANNING REPORT

The overall form of the proposed development has been developed through considered analysis of the context and character of the site and its surroundings, and the intended city form for this urban neighbourhood focused on the Principal Centre of Broadbeach and within the Light Rail urban renewal corridor of the City.

The tower form and materiality combined delivers a slender tower with horizontal façade treatments, extensive balconies with recessed glazing lines and materials (including colour palette) that presents a high-quality architectural finish, enhancing the visual interest and character of the built form in its context to deliver a desirable city form outcome and a positive addition to the streetscape character Federation Avenue.

The façade is broken up by generous balconies that are oriented to the west overlooking Federation Avenue and the hinterland backdrop, and to the east towards the ocean.

The development ensures the internal spaces afford a high level of comfort and quality, benefiting from climatic responsive design that incorporates screening and shade elements, a seamless flow between indoor and outdoor living spaces and facilitates access to prevailing breezes, natural sunlight, ocean views

Gold Coast insights: What happened on the Gold Coast over August?

The South East Queensland developer Marquee Development Partners are continuing to bulk up their apartment development pipeline, following the speed of their latest Kirra Beach.

Marquee&#39;s Kirra Beach apartment development SOL didn&#39;t even hit the market, selling out all 46 apartments in the in-demand&nbsp;Kirra Beach in just 10 days.

The development, which&nbsp;will go down as one of the Gold Coast&#39;s fastest sell-outs,&nbsp;was Marquee&#39;s eighth project, and they&#39;re set to launch their ninth.

Their next Gold Coast project, Northshore, is north of the Kirra hotspot, in the equally booming&nbsp;north Palm Beach area.

In a joint venture with LHPP, Northshore will have 93 residences, starting from two-bed apartments and ranging to a small collection of villas, and will only be available for resident-only buyers.

The development will feature five-star resort-style amenities which come standard in Marquee&#39;s Developments. Residents will have access to&nbsp;a waterfall edge pool with Baja deck and floating sunbeds, outdoor dining, cinema, full-sized gym, work from home facilities and&nbsp;extensive wellness offerings.

Marquee&#39;s sales director Azura Griffen says the open plan apartment designs will blur the lines between inside and out.

Marquee prepare launch for Palm Beach apartment development, Northshore 

Fresh off selling out their Kirra Beach apartment development SOL before it even hit the open market, the local Gold Coast developer Marquee Development Partners are on to their next project.

And it&#39;s literally just down the road&nbsp;at&nbsp;4 Musgrave Street, on the in-demand Kirra Beach in Coolangatta.

The Brisbane-based Ellivo Architects have drawn up the plans for the 14-level tower,&nbsp;which will home 39 apartments.

In their brief submitted to the Gold Coast City Council, Ellivo note the importance&nbsp;that all primary indoor and outdoor living areas are oriented to the beach.

The typical floorplan, from levels four to 13, will be three three-bedroom apartments, ranging between 163 and 187 sqm.

<img alt="" height="992" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/musgrave_kirra_main.jpg" width="1200" /> 
The plans submitted to the Gold Coast City Council. Source: Ellivo Architects

Level three will&nbsp;comprise&nbsp;three three-bedroom apartments, configured a little differently than the standard, with the outer apartments&nbsp;in the line of three wrapped in balconies and offering two living spaces.

Level 14 accommodates the penthouse product, at 240 sqm and 250 sqm,&nbsp;each with four bedrooms. Each apartment will have&nbsp;similar floorplans to the three-bedroom apartments, but an extra bedroom, living area and study nook. The balconies that open from the open plan living, kitchen and dining areas are well separated from each other, located on each corner of the building.

The building&#39;s only one-bedroom, and a further two three-bedrooms apartments,&nbsp;are on level two, which is also where a gym and a yoga/pilates studios sit within a communal open space.

Further amenity is located on the ground floor, where there&#39;s a swimming pool, pool deck, sauna and ice bath room, as well the the lobby.

Ellivo say that the form and appearance of the development evokes memories of the relaxed coastal lifestyle by including reference to the &lsquo;coral skeleton&rsquo; of the Kirra Reef, &lsquo;horizontal waves&rsquo; of the tidal movement and the natural colours of Kirra which embody warm sandy textures and an earthy terracotta palette.<img alt="" height="452" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/musgrave_kirra_3.jpg" width="1200" /> 
The plans submitted to the Gold Coast City Council. Source: Ellivo Architects

&quot;Through this design inspiration, a luxurious contemporary residential environment is created, that is enhanced by private outdoor living spaces of generous proportions which benefit from optimum views of the beachfront.&quot;

Marquee are seeking to push past the limits of the City Plan for the site, which has a building height overlay of 29 metres. However, given the site is located in an &#39;Urban neighbourhood&#39;, a further uplift of 50 per cent can be contemplated where the development can demonstrate compliance with the higher order Strategic framework provisions.&nbsp;The proposed development comprises a total height of just over 43 metres.

Marquee have a solid track record on the Gold Coast, and have recently secured huge success at their first Kirra Beach apartment project&nbsp;Sol, which didn&#39;t even hit the open market.

The team are also behind&nbsp;Shoreline, the 17-level tower on Old Burleigh Road between Main Beach and Broadbeach.

SOL, at&nbsp;133-135 Musgrave Street, sold out earlier this year, with the team fielding some 1,600 prospective buyers even before launch. The 11-level tower will have&nbsp;46 two, three and four-bedroom apartments.&nbsp;

&ldquo;We&rsquo;ve witnessed an astounding level of interest for our latest project in Kirra within mere weeks of receiving council approval,&rdquo; Marquee Development Partners sales director Azura Griffen said.

<h2>The design statement</h2>

Balance between built form and green areas for landscaped private open space

The proposed development achieves a good balance between built form and green areas. The proposed development will include hard and soft landscaping elements along all property boundaries, to a standard consistent with this type of development. A range of tiered vertical and horizontal landscaping will be used including climbing and cascading plant species which will be planted adjacent to the vertical screening and in planter boxes to screen and soften the building from the street and shared boundaries. It is considered the landscaping will soften and enhance the building and positively contribute to the existing neighbourhood character and amenity.

Contributes to neighbourhood character and amenity

The overall design and appearance of the development is of high-quality architectural merit, producing a positive contribution to the streetscape character and amenity. The architectural form, presenting generous private open space balconies toward the street frontage of the site, creates the perception of openness and a light-weight element of built form to the streetscape. This is further enhanced by the integration of landscape planting within the ground level entrances to the site

Promotes slender bulk form

The site is irregular in shape and has a long frontage to Musgrave Street of 43 metres with narrow sides, resulting in an elongated building form to Musgrave Street. The design has accommodated this site constraint by incorporating necessary breaks in the built form at both the front and the rear.

The sales update comes just over a month&nbsp;after the development at 1 Cannes Avenue received approval from the Gold Coast City Council.

One Cannes had wrapped up 65 per cent of sales in just 10 days after its launch in May.&nbsp;

Marquee has now launched the two remaining penthouses, which are offered fully customisable in the early stages of development.

The&nbsp;award-winning&nbsp;Plus Architecture has designed the spaces which sit across level 17 of the 17 level building.

They each have four bedrooms, three bathrooms, three car spaces, a media room and an expansive entertainers&#39; kitchen with a butler&#39;s pantry and dry bar.

Marquee Development Partners sales director Azura Griffen said there has been consistent demand from local buyers at One Cannes.

&ldquo;The project has been very well received by luxury downsizers looking for luxury spaces in an idyllic secluded location close to parklands, with a huge range of amenity for buyers to enjoy,&quot; Griffen says.

&ldquo;Drawing an artistic flair from the French Riviera, we are thrilled to be launching One Cannes&rsquo; penthouse collection to the market - offering buyers uncompromising luxury, unparalleled views and expansive living spaces coupled with the finest collection of resort-style facilities.&rdquo;

Both on corner positions of the building, the penthouses are wrapped in floor to ceiling glass windows with each featuring two balconies offering 270-degree views of the Main River, Pacific Ocean, the Hinterland, and the Gold Coast city skyline.

One Cannes will have extensive work from home facilities,&nbsp;a riverfront infinity pool with&nbsp;cabanas and sun lounges, a gym with&nbsp;sauna, and a yoga and pilates studio oriented towards the adjoining parklands.

Some of the most sought-after developments over the last six months have been in the small Gold Coast enclave of Kirra Beach.

Miles Residences, the residential arm of the KTQ&#39;s Group&#39;s $380&nbsp;million redevelopment of the Kirra Beach Hotel, had the area abuzz with interest late last year.

More recently there was the quick-fire sell out of Spyre Group&#39;s Cala Dei, the&nbsp;redevelopment of the Komune Resort around the corner.

And now the Gold Coast developer Marquee Development Partners are set to put their stamp on the area, with plans approved by the Gold Coast City Council for a new residential tower.

The tower, dubbed SOL Kirra Beach located at&nbsp;133-135 Musgrave Street, will rise 11 levels and have 46 two, three and four bedroom apartments.&nbsp;

Not set to launch to the market until June 26, Marquee have already been inundated with enquiries from their database, some 1,600 prospective buyers over the last few weeks.

&ldquo;We&rsquo;ve witnessed an astounding level of interest for our latest project in Kirra within mere weeks of receiving council approval,&rdquo; said Marquee Development Partners sales director Azura Griffen.

&ldquo;This Kirra site is absolutely magnificent, and we&rsquo;re excited to do it justice by delivering our signature luxury residences that package the Gold Coast dream into an ultra-desirable home.&rdquo;

The award-winning, Brisbane-based architecture firm&nbsp;Arkhefield have created&nbsp;the tower, with the primary focus to capture the view corridors of Kirra Beach, Kirra Headland, Pacific Ocean, and Coolangatta&nbsp;from its elevated headland position.

Arkhefield drew inspiration from the surrounding natural landscapes of Kirra, Greenmount and&nbsp;Snapper to inform the composition &ndash; reflecting the ocean meeting and&nbsp;shaping the land.

Each balcony is designed to capture the unique ocean views.&nbsp;

The resident amenity was inspired by Palm Springs and&nbsp;the iconic 60&rsquo;s Gold Coast aesthetic. The pool area is surrounded by mature landscaping, poolside lounges, sunbeds and&nbsp;cabanas. There is also an outdoor lounge, dining room and barbecue facilities.

SOL is the last development on the Kirra Headland, with Marquee acquiring&nbsp;the site from a family who had been at the Musgrave Street property for over 45 years.
