Eden Tugun

Callista Palm Beach - 192 Cypress Terrace, Palm Beach

Prestige property developer Omira Property Group has appointed&nbsp;Sanctuary28 to build Mana, its architecturally striking Ballina villa development between the water and the town centre.

The <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-townhouses/mana-ballina-86-90-norton-street-ballina">14 villas</a> have been designed by C2 Architecture, the same architect <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developers/omira-property-group">Omira</a> had deliver their award-winning Byron Bay villa development, Asana Byron.

The three-bedroom villas, each with a study space, have interiors crafted by Mon Palmer of Bare Cabo design studio, who has developed an interior scheme that emanates calm.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=144558 project_image_fid=264604]

Texture is a common theme among the 14 villas and opulent materials have been selected for their quality and durability, with marble and stone featuring throughout the villas, working cohesively with the external stone cladding to create an coastal effect.

Timber-look panels around the exterior soften and modernise the white rendered facades while ensuring the exterior endures the harsh Australian summer. Hit-and-miss brickwork serves to protect the home from the heat while welcoming summer breezes.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=144558 project_image_fid=261474]

Omira Property Group Director Alasdair Baker says <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developments/ballina-nsw-2478">Ballina</a> is a "sleeping giant of opportunity that’s just about to wake up.”

Titans of the hospitality industry have begun to spot the beach town’s potential. The owners of Bang Bang and Hutong Harry’s in Byron Bay have opened Italian eatery Capiche; the team at Fishheads in Byron have popped up at Wharf Bar &amp; Restaurant Ballina; while local favourite Kelp has developed a reputation for top-notch seafood. The Shaw’s Bay Hotel (the Shawsy), offers a relaxed hospitality experience with live music overlooking Shaw’s Bay.

Baker snapped up a site on Norton Street that allows future Mana residents to walk their paddleboard to the creek, stroll to the park, or follow one of the area's cycle tracks from the front door. Mana is also walking distance to the lively town centre which has bars, boutiques, and gourmet retailers as well as shops and schools.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=144558 project_image_fid=293912]

Demolition of the current homes on the site will begin in November, with the build of the villas to start soon after. Completion of Mana is slated for early 2026.

Baker founded Omira Property Group with a clear intention.

"At Omira, we believe where you live should inspire you every day,” Baker says.

“It’s an exhaled breath, a tangible feeling of relaxation. And, so, our purpose is to create homes that allow people to live authentically and love where they live.”

Omira is putting the final touches to its villa development in Cabarita, <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-townhouses/kai-residences-bogangar-10-12-willow-avenue-bogangar">Kai Residences</a>, and is soon to launch Solis, another boutique villa development, in Pottsville in Northern NSW.

Builder appointed at luxury Ballina villa collection, Mana

Ballina has long been known as the southern neighbour of the popular tourist hotspot, Byron Bay.

But the coastal enclave just south Byron is starting to have its time in the sun, much like Byron had during the pandemic.

That's what <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developers/omira-property-group">Omira Property Group</a> saw in <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developments/ballina-nsw">Ballina</a> when they secured a prime site on Norton Street, on the fringe of the centre of the township.

"Ballina has everything Byron Bay has and more," Omira Property Group Founder Alasdair Baker says.

&nbsp;

Omira has recently launched <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-townhouses/mana-86-90-norton-street-ballina">Mana</a>, just 14 villas both in the heart of Ballina and on the fringe of North Creek. Omira has previously completed successful developments in both Byron Bay and the southern Gold Coast.

They brought the same team down from Byron Bay, which includes C2 Architecture, to create a slice of <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developments/byron-bay-nsw-2481">Byron</a> in Ballina.

Set privately off Norton Street, the Mana villas each offer three bedrooms and over 200 sqm of internal living space.

&nbsp;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=144558 project_image_fid=264603]

The location of Mana in particular lends itself to either the holidaymaker or local downsizer.

Ballina is centrally located to several different beaches and bays, each offering something different, whether it be walking paths or lookouts.

Metres from the doorstep of Mana is&nbsp;Meldrum Park and playground, as well as The Kerry Saxby Walkway which stretches one kilometre across Commemoration Park, Missingham Park and Kingsford Smith Park to Missingham Beach.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=144558 project_image_fid=261478]

Aside from its natural beauty, Ballina is also known for its strong sense of community. The town has a vibrant arts and culture scene with regular events such as the Ballina Fine Food and Wine Festival and the Northern Rivers Performing Arts program, embracing the village vibe.

The Ballina Farmers Market is just a seven-minute walk from Norton Street, across Kingsford Smith Park, where residents can also buy fresh produce directly from the grower.

The Ballina Fair Shopping Centre and Ballina Central Shopping Centre are adjacent to each other and both are only a four-minute drive from Mana.&nbsp;

The malls are home to Palace Fair Cinemas, Woolworths, Kmart, Coles, SUPA VALU IGA Supermarket, Big W and 23 specialty shops including over nine dine-in and takeaway food stores.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=144558 project_image_fid=293913]

For the holidaymakers, Ballina is just five minutes down the highway from Ballina Airport, the second busiest regional airport in Australia which offers short flights to all major capital cities.

Mana presents a unique opportunity for buyers in Ballina, not only due to the fact new development is incredibly scarce in the area, but that only 20 per cent of the current residential property makeup of Ballina is townhouses.

"We're providing barefoot luxury in a low-maintenance environment," Baker says.

&nbsp;

How Mana takes advantage of the very best of Ballina's beaches and bays

Ballina hasn't seen a new development anywhere near the quality of Mana before.

Omira Property Group, a regarded boutique townhouse and villa developer in the Northern Rivers region of New South Wales, took their smarts from their award-winning Byron Bay villa development, Asana, and brought them to <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-townhouses/ballina-nsw-2478">Ballina</a>, where they've replicated the same quality and craftsmanship but on a larger scale.

They brought C2 Architecture, the architecture firm from Asana, onto the project. They've designed 14 luxury villas that sit both on the fringe of town and on the fringe of North Creek.

We recently sat down with&nbsp;<a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developers/omira-property-group">Omira Property Group</a>&nbsp;Director Alasdair Baker, C2 Architecture's George Chambers, and Pacifico Property sales agent Christian Sergiacomi, to discuss the project.

Baker says the concept embodies an iconic coastal aesthetic, while Mon Palmer at Bare Cabo design studio, has developed an interior scheme that reflects the serenity of the sandy beaches in the area.

George Chambers, Principal at C2 Architecture, says the villas have been designed to be enjoyed with occupants with nothing overlooked.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=144558 project_image_fid=264608]

"Given all the sites were located on the coastal edge, it allowed us to create and translate each villa into a wonderful, modern interpretation of the traditional beach house," Chambers says.

Each villa offers 220 sqm of living space, three bedrooms, alfresco dining and a striking kitchen living and dining area featuring a striking built-in fireplace.

One of the villas was snapped up pre-launch for $2.4 million. The buyer were well aware of the quality both Omira and C2 have created previously and didn't want to miss this rare opportunity of having one of the finest new homes in Ballina.

<a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-townhouses/mana-ballina-86-90-norton-street-ballina">Mana Ballina</a> is set to complete construction in late 2025.

Inside Mana Ballina: Urban speaks to the key stakeholders in Ballina's best new development

Property developer Omira Property Group has carved out a reputation as one of the most architecturally-focused villa developers in the Northern Rivers region of New South Wales and the southern areas of the Gold Coast.

Now they're bringing their classic coastal-style to Ballina, following success in the likes of Byron Bay, Currumbin and Kingscliff.

They've brought the same team down from their most recently completed development, Asana, on Byron Bay's dress circle Marvell Street. Asana comprised just three luxury villas which sold with prices ranging from $4.4 million to $4.6 million.

The new <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-townhouses/ballina-nsw">Ballina</a> project, <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-townhouses/mana-86-90-norton-street-ballina">Mana</a>, comprises 14 luxury villas, each with over 220 sqm of internal space. They start from $1.95 million.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=144558 project_image_fid=264603]

<a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developers/omira-property-group">Omira Property Group</a> Director Alasdair Baker says the villas will represent an opportunity for prospective purchasers to live in something Ballina hasn't seen before.

"Ballina has everything Byron Bay has and more at half the price tag," Baker says, calling the area a "sleeping giant of opportunity that's just about to wake up."

"The focus in this region has always been on Byron Bay, but when people travel north or south, they realise the same lifestyle opportunities, with multiple beachside precincts, exist up and down the coastline."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=144558 project_image_fid=264608]

<a href="https://www.urban.com.au/architects/c2-architecture">C2 Architecture</a>, whose concept embodies an iconic coastal aesthetic with architecture inspired by Palm Springs, is working with designer Mon Palmer of Bare Cabo design studio who has developed an interior scheme that emanates calm.

Marble features predominantly throughout the three-bedroom villas, with stone cladding, timber-look panels and white render on the exterior to create a cool coastal effect.

Hit-and-miss brickwork serves to protect the home from the heat while welcoming summer breezes.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=144558 project_image_fid=264613]

Baker says the project will suit the local downsizer market, those who have been on acreages in the region, as well as those from Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane who are looking for the Byron Bay-style lifestyle.

Baker says a project of this calibre needs to have a location to match, which is why they settled on a prime site on Norton Street,&nbsp;a literal stone's throw from&nbsp; North Creek and just over a kilometre to Ballina Fair Shopping Centre.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=144558 project_image_fid=261478]

Pacifico Property, who sold Omira's Asana <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-townhouses/byron-bay-nsw">Byron Bay</a>, is marketing Mana, which is slated for completion in 2025.

One of the villas has already been snapped up pre-launch for $2.4 million, bought by a downsizer from Byron Bay.

Omira Property Group bring luxe villas to Ballina as Mana launches

When Chapter Two and acquisition partner Kingbella Group secured a prime Palm Beach site in mid-2021, they wanted to develop something which would offer a point of difference in the sought-after Gold Coast enclave.

What they've produced is Callista, a striking collection of just four townhouses less than 200 metres from the beach.

“They are modern-day beach houses," Chapter Two Co-founder Jon Quayle says.

"They're the size of a home but the convenience of a villa."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=109032 project_image_fid=180870]

Quayle says when they were undertaking their due diligence and looking for development sites, they found that there were plenty of apartment projects to choose from in the area, but there was a lack of brand new townhouses.

“We’re seeing that buyers are spoiled for choice when it comes to apartments in Palm Beach within this price range, but not everyone wants to live in a three-bedroom apartment smaller than Callista that backs on to the highway and could potentially be built out down the track," Quayle says.

"Similarly, entry into a brand new house is unattainable for most in the area now, with recent sales on the same street as Callista exceeding $3 million while anything new build on the beach is upwards of $10 million. &nbsp;

"Callista has shone through and filled this gap in the market."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=109032 project_image_fid=180875]

For the last few years, Palm Beach has been one of the strongest housing markets on the Gold Coast, if not across the whole of Australia. The median house price increased 45 per cent between February 2021 to February 2023, with research showing many buyers are now looking to house alternatives for their next purchase.

CBRE sold three of Callista's four villas off the plan, but held back one of them to sell completed. Alroe Constructions have just finished the build.

The remaining villa has around 225 sqm of living space, with four-bedrooms, three-bathrooms, three separate living and entertainment zones, double lock-up garage and undercover storage for surf and paddle boards.

The villa is arguably the best, Quayle says. It occupies the prime north-eastern end of the block, giving it an abundance of natural light.

C2 Architecture worked in collaboration with Louise Walsh Interiors to craft Callista, a cool coastal vibe paired with modern touches. Think natural timber elements blended with curved stone, customised fluted joinery pieces and rippled glass in wet rooms. One of the most striking features is the nine-metre-high window void that flanks the open stairwell to maximise natural light.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=109032 project_image_fid=180865]

A key feature of Callista, which gives it the feeling of a home rather than a townhouse, is the interface with the street. Garages and driveways front the street, whereas typical townhouse projects are serviced by internal roads and driveway handles.

The majority of enquiries have come from owner-occupiers, Quayle says, adding that the buyers, who will move in soon, will be relocating from as close as Mermaid Waters and as far as London.

Chapter Two are working on another townhouse project in nearby Tugun.&nbsp;Alroe Constructions recently broke ground on their Eden project, a collection o five home-sized, park fronting villas located beachside of the highway.

"The modern day beach house": Callista Palm Beach finishes completion, with one opportunity left

Tugun, the small enclave in the southern Gold Coast just north of Bilinga, is set to welcome an impressive collection of beach villas.

Chapter Two Group and Kingbella, who have most recently worked together on a similar project, Callista in Palm Beach, are behind The Eden Collection, just five home-sized luxury villas directly adjacent to Kropp Park nature reserve.

There will be three and four-bedroom configurations on offer, with each villa featuring a number of living zones across their three levels.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=109904 project_image_fid=197975]

Chapter Two Director Jon Quayle says The Eden Collection is quintessentially Tugun.

&ldquo;Tugun is one of only a few suburbs on the Gold Coast that still retains its coastal charm of yesteryear&rdquo;, Quayle said.

&quot;Low-rise modern-day beach houses, fronting on to a nature reserve, and only 250 metres in each direction to Cornerstone Stores, Tugun Market Co, and of course the famous sands of Tugun beach&rdquo;.

Kingbella Director, Laura Percey, says Eden&rsquo;s design was inspired by the earthy palette of its surroundings, from sand to stone to sunlight glistening on the water.

&ldquo;Each villa features polished concrete floors, premium timber joinery, exquisite stone benchtops, multiple living areas to unwind, bespoke tapware and high-end Miele appliances that boast both function and&nbsp;form,&rdquo; Percey said.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=109904 project_image_fid=197971]

C2 Architecture and Louise Walsh interiors, who were the team behind Callista Palm Beach, are behind The Eden Collection design.

CBRE Residential Projects Senior Director, Nicholas Clydsdale, said that demand for luxury townhouses was only going to increase on the Gold Coast in the coming years, particularly in blue- chip suburbs such as Tugun.

&ldquo;It is extremely rare for a new development to occur in this tightly held beachside enclave, yet the buyer demand is continuing to increase on the back of burgeoning population growth&rdquo;,&nbsp;Clydsdale said.

&ldquo;New development sites in quality locations are more and more difficult to come by. The tranquil location of Eden, fronting north over a stunning natural reserve is a dream location for a southern Gold Coast buyer. Add to that its strolling distance to Currumbin and Tugun shops and beaches only adds to its allure and rarity.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=109904 project_image_fid=197969]

Clydsdale says there&nbsp;have been several recent sales in Tugun and Currumbin surrounding The Eden Collection in the $4 million&nbsp;plus range which has reset pricing for the area.

&quot;We are seeing more and more owners looking to enter the Tugun market who want high-quality, low maintenance living, without having to compromise on space or privacy. The Eden Collection caters for this large portion of buyers who are looking to secure their own piece of Tugun for generations to come.&rdquo;

Pricing for The Eden Collection starts from $2,299,000.

[smartcode_project_cta: project_id=109904]

There will be three and four-bedroom configurations on offer, with each villa featuring a number of living zones across their three levels

The Eden Collection villas launch in hot Tugun market

Palm Beach, one of the hottest apartment markets across the whole of the country, is set for something a little different.

Kingbella Group, led by Joel and Laura Percey, alongside STEER Developments, founded by Rob Steer, are set to launch a boutique collection of four villas, a stone&#39;s throw from the beach.

The luxury villas at 192 Cypress Terrace have been designed by C2 Architecture with the Mediterranean lifestyle and palette at its heart.

&quot;Callista came from bouncing around ideas on a mood board, trying to produce a townhouse with a feel as if you&#39;re on holiday in Europe&quot;, Laura Percey says.

Percey says they are trying to take the next step of luxury in the suburb, with the three-level homes rich in artisan detail and featuring an entertainer-style kitchen with oversized stone island bench and Miele appliances throughout.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=109032 project_image_fid=180867]

Each townhouse will have four bedrooms and three bathrooms across the three levels.

&quot;Palm Beach has really transformed, from cute shacks and beach houses to a next level of luxury that everyone locally, as well as interstate, now wants to buy in to.

&quot;There&#39;s new blood in the area, and with that comes the more modern beach house. We want to deliver beach houses that will remain for years to come.&quot;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=109032 project_image_fid=180873]

\There has been an intentional effort in the design so the villas would suit a number of different buyers.

&quot;We could see the owner-occupier professional enquire, with the use of the downstairs bedroom as a home office, or the downsizer in their 50&#39;s using the functional space&quot;, Percey said, adding that young families would be attracted to the four bedrooms, and fly-in, fly-out buyers from the eastern seaboard capital cities would show interest given the heightened level of lock-up-and-leave luxury on offer.

STEER founder, Rob Steer said with interstate migration on the rise, there&#39;s plenty of purchasers are prepared to pay for high end stock.

&ldquo;Gold Coast has emerged as one of the best performing real estate markets over the past year, recording double digit price growth for both houses and units,&quot; Steer said.

&quot;We&#39;re seeing an awful lot of movement from interstate, whether it&#39;s for holiday home purposes or those keen on spending more than half of the year on the Gold Coast.&quot;

With double digit growth seen in Q1 2020 to Q1 2021, Steer says the developer duo are actively looking for new acquisition opportunities in both residential and commercial sites.

CBRE are handling the marketing of Callista, with prices starting from $1.75 million.

Kingbella and Steer are set to crate another small collection of luxury townhouses in Tugun, and have also just lodged plans, along with the Brisbane-based Capdev, for over 90 apartments in the in demand Rainbow Bay area.

[smartcode_project_cta: project_id=109032]

Each townhouse will have four bedrooms and three bathrooms across the three levels
