210 Marine Parade, Labrador

The owners of Labrador's&nbsp;Golden Shores Holiday Club have secured development approval to redevelop their Marine Parade resort.

They'll be creating a 25-level tower at&nbsp;<a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-apartments/210-marine-parade-labrador">210 Marine Parade</a>&nbsp;that will home 85 apartments.

The development will comprise 49 two-bedroom units, 14 of which will feature a multi-purpose room, and 35 three-bedroom apartments, offering frontage to the Broadwater and adjacent public open space.

A full-floor penthouse spanning 458 sqm with five bedrooms, each with an ensuite and walk-in wardrobe, is also part of the development plan.

The approval aligns with the broader regional plan for the Gold Coast, which targets an annual supply of 4,010 new high-rise units aiming to address the ongoing demand-supply imbalance.

Designed by <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/architects/bda-architecture">BDA Architecture</a>, all apartments will have glimpses towards <a href="/developments/broadwater-qld-4380">Broadwater</a> because of the tower's slender form. The building fans out towards the rear, which allows even the apartments at the back of the building to take in water views.&nbsp;

On the roof will be a swimming pool and lounge areas with kitchenettes, while the 24th level will home a gym.

While primarily geared towards permanent residential occupancy, the development includes provisions for short-term accommodation so future apartment owners can rent their apartments as a holiday let.

Golden Shores Holiday Club in Labrador to be redeveloped into apartments

Labrador is set to lose another holiday resort in another attempt to narrow the supply v demand imbalance on the Gold Coast.

The latest plans submitted to the Gold Coast City Council are a little different to the former Sandy Point Resort, which was converted by its owners, McDonald Industries, into the Park Shore apartment development within the same building envelope.

On the chopping block is the&nbsp;Golden Shores Holiday Club at 210 Marine Parade, which is set to be demolished to make way for a 25-level tower with 85 new apartments, the same number Golden Shores Holiday Club currently has but across three levels.

Proposed are 49 two-bed apartments, 14 ofwhich will have a multi-purpose room. The smallest two-bedders start from 80 sqm.

There will be 35 three-bedroom apartments, all with MPR's, and a full floor, 458 sqm penthouse with five bedrooms, each with an ensuite and walk in wardrobe, a theatre room, two living areas, and a wine cellar.

There will be no more than five apartments per floor.

BDA Architecture wrote in their design statement that the&nbsp;site is located in the high density precinct of Labrador and it will contribute residential uses to an area targeted as a future growth corridor.

"As designed, the project will provide a memorable sculptural residential tower, that will enhance the emerging Broadwater precinct.

"The&nbsp;architecture of the proposed development is inspired by its coastal location, with strong vertical and horizontal forms and natural tones."

BDA says the tower has been broken up into three distinct areas.

"The ‘base’ is a highly detailed and landscaped entry / podium, which grounds the tower into it’s natural context.

<img alt="210 Marine" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="0812e356-2bd2-41de-9cda-2cf0dfc55e75" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202023-05-24%20at%208.57.39%20am.png?VersionId=omXg3cnQ8YSGmeJDZO1uNzEXFpArCU7b" />

"The ‘middle’ is a series of vertical blades walls, horizontal slab projections, picture frame windows and recessed elements, including full height glass sections and generous balconies.

"The ‘top’ is composed as a series of communal spaces, highlighted by large expressed floating roofs, effectively capping the building.

"With all three areas combined, the overall tower form is cohesive and an elegant addition to the Labrador skyline."

All apartments will have glimpses towards Broadwater because of the towers slender form. The building fans out towards the rear, which allows even the apartments at the back of the building to take in water views.

The 24th level rooftop will home the resident amenity, including a&nbsp;swimming pool, lounge and kitchenette spaces, and a gym. There will be 125 resident car spaces and 31 bicycle spaces.

The application seeks to tap into the 50 per cent building height uplift, which allows for a maximum height of 79.5 metres to be achieved over the 1,546 sqm site which has a 30 metre frontage to Marine Parade.

The neighbouring Windsong Apartments was cited as a comparable tower at 15 levels, as was the 22-level Lumiere Private Residences at 230 Marine Parade.

"The surrounding density of this exceptional site suggests it is the perfect location for the proposed development," the town planning report by Zone noted.

There is the provision for short-term accomodation, but Zone suggest that's just so future apartment owners can rent their apartments as a holiday let if they wish.
