Chalk - 203 Surf Parade, Surfers Paradise QLD 4217

The plans for Chalk have been reworked and finessed across the planning period, with a 21-level, 71 apartment tower now proposed.

Has the demand for huge apartments weakened on the Gold Coast?

The latest development application by the national development firm Gallery Group suggests so.

They took their Chalk, Surf Parade apartment development to the market earlier this year, offering huge apartments starting at nearly 250 sqm. There were 99 apartments being offered in the 35-level&nbsp;tower.

But now new plans has seen Gallery Group change the mix, and lob off 15 levels to the Surfers Paradise project. Raunik Design has made the amends to the tower, which will now be just 20 levels, and offer 71 apartments, a mix of two and three-bedroom product.

And that is now weighted heavily toward the two-bedroom apartments. There will now be 65 two-bedders and just six three-bedroom apartments, which will be spread across the top two levels.

The move to greater space in apartments has been one of the by-products of the global pandemic, driven by a rise in owner-occupiers flocking to the Gold Coast&rsquo;s best locations as the working-from-home movement continues.

There&#39;s still residential amenity in the shape of a swimming pool and gym on level two, as well as a rooftop with barbecues and alfresco areas.

Back in March when the old plans for Chalk were given the green light by the Gold Coast City Council, Gallery Group Chief Executive Adam Barclay said the apartments needed to reach beyond the current offerings in the Gold Coast market, focussing&nbsp;on creating larger apartments with well-designed internal layouts connecting seamlessly to spacious outdoor areas.

&ldquo;The result is a building that achieves new heights in terms of internal finishes, maximising view corridors and providing high quality recreational space in different parts of the building,&rdquo; he said.

Gallery Group has&nbsp;offices in Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane and the Gold Coast and has&nbsp;sold over 2000 residences since their inception in 2011, with $1.7 billion in works already completed.

The national property&nbsp;developer Gallery Group are the latest to submit plans for a residential apartment tower on the Gold Coast.

Levels six to 19 will have four apartments per floor, one-two-bedroom apartments and three three-bedroom apartments. The three-bedder will each have two sitting areas and a king-sized mater suite, complete with walk-in wardrobe and ensuite.

Those three-bedders start at 178 sqm.

From there levels 20 to 30 will have just three three-bedroom apartments, no smaller than 209 sqm. The biggest is over 254 sqm.

The skyhomes crown the development, across levels 31 to 34, each with three bedrooms, a study and a media room.

The northern penthouse is over 385 sqm and also has its own cellar. The king even has its own walk in shoe storage room

Raunik Design has drawn up the plans to feature a recreation level on level four, complete with a gym with sauna, pool and spa and pool deck.&nbsp;The landscaped gardens by FORM feature barbecue and dining areas. There are two apartments on that level, one with its own plunge pool.

There&#39;s a level 35 roof terrace with indoor and outdoor seating and dining, a communal kitchen, a boardroom or private dining area and a shared office space with a breakout area.

The entry lobby will home a cafe, surfboard racks, dog wash and water feature.

In the design intent, Raunik say the tower is inspired by art deco fused with a contemporary feel.&nbsp;

&quot;Precise geometric shapes integrated with simplistic design elements achieve timeless results&quot;, it reads.

&quot;Naturally formed materials such as concrete, glass and stone are intertwined carefully with earthy tones to create a grounded atmosphere both in and around the building.&quot;
