Cala Dei Residences - 144 Marine Parade, Coolangatta

Australia’s largest privately owned construction company, Hutchinson Builders will deliver the sold out project

Hutchinson Builders has been announced as the construction firm to deliver the $57 million Coolangatta apartment project, Cala Dei.

The project is set to rise on the site currently occupied by Komune Resort.

The 31 apartments expected to be completed in the first quarter of 2023.

The 12 level apartment complex, designed by bureau^proberts, will sit in landscaping by CUSP.

Spyre Group officially launched its new Coolangatta tower in April with its four week sell out credited as one of the fastest selling projects ever on the Gold Coast.

It marks a fourth consecutive sell-out for the company on the Gold Coast, the $79 million Elysian Broadbeach, $25 million MAYA Kirra Beach, and the currently under construction $77 million Natura, Burleigh..

Prices ranged from $779,000 in Cala Dei to its $7.1 million penthouse sale.&nbsp;

Spyre Group bought the 862 sqm Marine Parade site from a company directed by Komune Resort owner Anthony Cannon and Fitness First founder Tony de Leede.

It has recently acquired a beachfront site to be launch later this year.

Hutchinson Builders to deliver Spyre Group’s Coolangatta apartment project, Cala Dei

It achieved an average sale price of $1.9 million, with prices rising as high as the penthouse which sold for $7.1 million

The apartment redevelopment of the Hotel Komune Resort, at Coolangatta&#39;s Greenmount Beach, is set to begin.

Construction is slated for September at the already sold-out project by the Brisbane-based Spyre Group, who secured sales of all of the 30 apartments in just four weeks earlier this year.

It achieved an average sale price of $1.9 million, with prices rising as high as the penthouse which sold for $7.1 million.

It fell some way short of the area penthouse record, which is categorized in this market as south of Mermaid Beach, to not include the established high-rise developments in Surfers, Broadbeach&nbsp;and Main Beach.

David Calvisi&#39;s FORME Projects holds that mantle, securing a $9 million sale of the penthouse in his Koichi Takada-designed Norfolk at Burleigh Heads. The luxury development, which saw the bulk of its sales two years ago, well before the COVID-enduced boom in the area, also saw two further apartment sales at $8.5 million.

With the same team as Norfolk, and less than a kilometre away, FORME&nbsp;are set to launch 96 The Esplanade, with locals suggesting the penthouse could be priced around the $15 million mark.

Hutchinson Builders, Australia&#39;s largest privately owned construction company, will deliver Spyre&#39;s&nbsp;$57 million project, which will rise 12 storeys on its Marine Parade dress circle address. The old Hotel Komune building has been demolished.

It is expected the development will be completed in the first quarter of 2023.

&ldquo;We are thrilled to have Hutchinson&rsquo;s on board to deliver our latest Gold Coast project following the extraordinary sell-out,&rdquo; Spyre Group Director Andrew Malouf said.

&ldquo;Cala Dei will transform the pristine beachfront site from a boisterous hub into a serene collection of residences to accommodate a new generation of Coolangatta locals,&rdquo;&nbsp;Malouf added.

&ldquo;Given that the southern Gold Coast appeal is higher than ever, we are excited to start bringing this collection of ultra-desirable homes to life.&rdquo;

[smartcode_project:default project_id=89840 project_image_fid=171556]

The Coolangatta market has gone from strength to strength over the last six months.

Miles Residences, by KTQ Group, smashed their sales targets when they launched their redevelopment of the Kirra Beach Hotel late last year.

The most recent development is The Emerson, developed by the Melbourne-based&nbsp;Hirsch &amp; Faigen, who are behind the Palm Beach apartment project Hemingway.

Construction to start at Cala Dei, the redevelopment of Coolangatta's Hotel Kommune

The south east Queensland&nbsp;developer Spyre Group have officially launched Cala Dei, their newest apartment block in Coolangatta.

Cala Dei, which will replace the Komune Resort on Marine Parade, will comprise 31 apartments across its 12 levels designed by&nbsp;bureau^proberts. It will sit in landscaping by CUSP.

Prices start from $779,000 for one of the 90 sqm, two bedroom, two bathroom apartments, which come with a parking spot.

<img alt="" height="1038" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/cala_dei_4.jpg" width="1800" />

There are further two bedrooms priced at $889,000 and $999,000, the latter is located on the ninth level.

The three bedroom apartments start from $2,575,000 and span 280 sqm. They have four bathrooms and an open plan kitchen, living and dining space that opens to a beachfront balcony.

<img alt="" height="930" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/cala_dei_1.jpg" width="1800" />

The priciest offering is $3,249,000 for the sub-penthouse positioned on the north-east corner of the development. The two penthouse apartments, each with their own private rooftops, are yet to be released.

Spyre Group bought the 862 sqm Marine Parade&nbsp;site from a company directed by Komune Resort owner Anthony Cannon and Fitness First founder Tony de Leede.

After spending the better part of a decade focusing on developments in Brisbane, Spye Group director Andrew&nbsp;Malouf sees the Gold Coast market shaping up as a long-term proposition for the company.

&ldquo;The challenge always starts with securing the right site, and we&rsquo;ve been fortunate on the Gold Coast over the past few years targeting only the best beachfront sites in each area, especially with our latest acquisition at Coolangatta,&rdquo; he said.

&nbsp;&ldquo;The Gold Coast&rsquo;s natural environment may be what attracts people in the first place but creating luxury residences at this level provides a reason for many to stay.

&ldquo;The market is well supported by locals and increasingly by interstate buyers, and remarkably we see that trend continuing for some time.&rdquo;

Spyre Group officially launch new Coolangatta tower Cala Dei

Spyre have sold out their $79 million Broadbeach tower Elysian, the $77 million Burleigh block Natura and the $25 million MAYA in Kirra Beach.



<html><body>
The Brisbane-based developer Spyre Group has sold out all three of their Gold Coast beachfront apartment projects as the coastal Queensland apartment market continues to boom.

Spyre, who are <a href="/project-updates/spyre-group-plan-komune-resort-redevelopment-dubbed-cala-dei-residences">set to redevelop Coolangatta's Hotel Komune</a>, have sold out their $79 million Broadbeach tower Elysian, the $77 million Burleigh block Natura and the $25 million MAYA in Kirra Beach.

“We are absolutely delighted that we have been able to converge three luxury beachfront products that met what the market wanted,” Spyre Group director Andrew Malouf said on the milestone.

“We have worked very hard over the last four years to create residences tailored towards the luxury downsizer market and the sell-out certainly vindicates the luxury product that we have brought to the market.”

<a href="https://www.urban.com.au/buildings/elysian-185-old-burleigh-road-broadbeach"><img alt="" height="886" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/elysian__0.jpg" width="1200"></a> Elysian at Broadbeach

Spyre's first Gold Coast project was Elysian, the 21 level tower on Old Burleigh Head Road with 61 apartments.

Spyre followed with Natura, targeting the downsizer more with just 33 half-floor, three bedroom apartments across 17 levels, before going more boutique with MAYA Kirra Beach which has 16 half-floor residences with two and three bedrooms.

They're waiting for the green light from the Gold Coast City Council to move on their fourth project, the redevelopment of the Hotel Komune which will home 31 apartment across 12 levels which will be known as Cala Dei.

The project has been designed by bureau^proberts, with Cusp Landscape Architecture handling the 576 sqm of recreational space which will include a communal resort area with plunge pools.

<a href="/buildings/cala-dei-residences-144-marine-parade-coolangatta"><img alt="" height="675" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/144_marine_parade_coolangatta_2.jpg" width="1200"></a> Plans for the Hotel Komune

Andrew Malouf said the project has already gained significant interest even prior to market release.

“Cala Dei will deliver the considered approach that has become synonymous with our brand on the Gold Coast – which is to deliver unmatched luxury tailored to beach living sought by a discerning downsizer market," Malouf said.

“A major key to our success on the Gold Coast has been the ability to secure the best beachfront sites in unique and highly sought after locations.

Nicholas Clydsdale, director of CBRE Residential Projects Gold Coast and the marketing agent for Spyre’s Gold Coast projects, says the group targeted the high-end owner-occupier market ahead of the curve with the launch of Elysian Broadbeach in late 2016.

“It is that foresight and Spyre Group’s approach to development focusing exclusively on the end user, tailoring its product specific to the location and target market, that has been the key to the success of their projects,” said Mr Clydsdale. 

“Through the ebbs and flows of what is a highly competitive market, Spyre has been successful because it is responsive and flexible, enabling it to deliver exceptional product and results for the buyers of its apartments.”

Spyre Group sell out Gold Coast portfolio

Designed by bureau^proberts, the development will have a total of 31 apartments across 12 levels

The Brisbane-based luxury apartment developer Spyre Group has officially lodged plans&nbsp;for a fourth high end residential beachfront project on the Gold Coast.

They&#39;ll be converting the&nbsp;Komune Resort at Coolangatta in to a 12 level residential development they&#39;ve called Cala Dei Residences.

Designed by&nbsp;bureau^proberts, the development will have a total of 31 apartments.

Spyre Group director Andrew Malouf said the company had taken a considered approach to developing the site.

&ldquo;The site was originally intended for a 27-storey development, but we have significantly reduced this footprint. Instead, we propose to create luxury residences that complement the world class surfing reserve status of the southern Gold Coast beaches,&rdquo; said Mr Malouf.

Mr Malouf says&nbsp;the Komune property was ideal because it is a rare north-facing site.

<img alt="" height="800" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/kommune_coolangatta.jpg" width="1200" />

&ldquo;We have taken a lower density approach than the original proposal to give our newest project a level of sophistication that we know the market appreciates.

&ldquo;Our plan is to create an exclusive, boutique development that will set itself apart from other buildings in the area.&rdquo;

Between levels one and nine there will be 18 two bedroom apartments and nine three bedders. Level 10 will home two near 200 sqm sub penthouses and level 11 will have two penthouses, both with three bedrooms and their own private rooftop crowning the block.

<a href="/buildings/cala-dei-residences-144-marine-parade-coolangatta"><img alt="" height="662" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/144_marine_parade_coolangatta_3_0.jpg" width="1200" /></a>

The two bedroom apartments span around 80 sqm of internal living space, with three bedroom apartments spanning over 220 sqm.

The ground level will feature&nbsp;576 sqm of recreational space, designed by Cusp Landscape Architecture which will include&nbsp;a communal resort area with plunge pools.

Spyre Group bought the 862 sqm Marine Parade&nbsp;site from a company directed by Komune Resort owner Anthony Cannon and Fitness First founder Tony de Leede.

It&rsquo;s not the first time Spyre Group has chosen to redevelop a site already occupied by an existing multi-level building.

The company recently demolished the eight-storey Aspect apartment building, developed by Mimi McPherson on the Esplanade at Burleigh Heads, to start construction on its huge successful Natura project. Apartments range&nbsp;in price from $1.6 million to $3.5 million.

After spending the better part of a decade focusing on developments in Brisbane, Mr Malouf sees the Gold Coast market shaping up as a long-term proposition for the company.

&ldquo;The challenge always starts with securing the right site, and we&rsquo;ve been fortunate on the Gold Coast over the past few years targeting only the best beachfront sites in each area, especially with our latest acquisition at Coolangatta,&rdquo; he said.

&nbsp;&ldquo;The Gold Coast&rsquo;s natural environment may be what attracts people in the first place but creating luxury residences at this level provides a reason for many to stay.

&ldquo;The market is well supported by locals and increasingly by interstate buyers, and remarkably we see that trend continuing for some time.&rdquo;

Its debut project, the $79 million Elysian Broadbeach, has been completed with just two of the 61 apartments remaining for sale. The follow-up project, Maya at Kirra Beach, has just one apartment left from 16, while Natura also has only two of the 33 apartments offered to the market.

Spyre Group plan Komune Resort redevelopment dubbed Cala Dei Residences 

Spyre are seeking to demolish the block and have had bureau^proberts design the new 12-level tower.

<html><body>
The boutique developer Spyre Group has lodged plans to convert the Komune Resort and Beach Club Coolangatta in to a block of 31 apartments.

There’s a potential sale of the 862 sqm site on the table between Spyre Group and the 144-146 Marine Parade owners, a company directed by Komune Resort owner Anthony Cannon and Fitness First founder Tony de Leede.

The near beachfront, located opposite the two level Coolangatta Surf Club, is currently home to a nine storey building. Spyre are seeking to demolish the block and have had bureau^proberts design the new 12-level tower.

<img alt="" height="662" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/144_marine_parade_coolangatta_3.jpg" width="1200">

Between levels one and nine there will be 18 two bedroom apartments and nine three bedders. Level 10 will home two near 200 sqm sub penthouses and level 11 will have two penthouses, both with three bedrooms and their own private rooftop crowning the block.

There will be 75 bedrooms in total across the 31 apartments. The plans will see the tower have three units per floor, with the two bedroom units located on the south-eastern and south-western sides and the larger three bedroom apartments fronting Marine Parade.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=7145]

The two bedroom apartments span around 80 sqm of internal living space, with three bedroom apartments spanning over 220 sqm.

The ground level will feature 576 sqm of recreational space, designed by Cusp Landscape Architecture which will include a communal resort area with plunge pools.

The design statement lodged by bureau^proberts says the site at 144 Marine Parade is characterised by beauty and abundance.

"From here views extend north to Greenmount Headland, north-west to Coolangatta Beach and south to Fingal Headland. These surroundings of coastline, hilltop and river are the foundations for the architecture which strives to create a building designed from and for its place.

"144 Marine Parade takes its cues from its coastal setting with apartments designed to optimise view and breeze corridors, while managing privacy from neighbouring sites and shelter from low-angled sun.

"Its form is derived from sweeping coastal forms, created to give the illusion of a windswept exterior rippled by a cool, coastal breeze.

"A defining experience of the architecture occurs at ground level in the terraced, open air spaces of the lobby. In this atmospheric space, reflective pools and stone terraces create sheltered outdoor rooms for casual gathering among subtropical gardens."

<img alt="" height="678" src="https://s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/pictures/article-images/144_marine_parade_coolangatta_4.jpg" width="1200">

The original 14 residential units were converted from permanent accomodation in to short-term letting suites in 2010. 

At the end of December an application was lodged for the site, and the adjacent site, seeking to build a 27 storey high rise mixed-use development, made up of a resort hotel with a 5-star, 100 suite resort, 94 residential apartments, a restaurant, shop and cafe.

The application was approved by council and then appealed by the neighbouring body corporate to the west, with the appeal ultimately successful. Now the current development proposal won't exceed the site's mapped building heights and does not include podium levels.
