Plus Architecture design for permanent apartment residency at PAMA Casuarina
Pama Casuarina, the $75 million Casuarina Beach residential development, has seen more than 65 per cent of the project sold within four weeks of hitting the market.
Helping to generate sales of more than $45 million is that Pama be the first apartment complex to be zoned for permanent residents. Local purchasers were the first to secure apartments with nine selling to buyers living within 10 kilometres of the development site.
All other multi-level apartment buildings in the town have a resort accommodation zoning, which limits owner occupation to three months a year.
Holm Developments and DeMartini Fletcher are undertaking the project in a joint venture.
Their 4083 sqm site is in the centre of Casuarina Beach, at 5 Grand Prade, which is 40 minutes north of Byron Bay and 18km south of Tweed Heads.
Holm Developments proposes 47 two, three and four-bedroom apartments across four levels.
The prices are from $1.065 million for a 120sq m two-bedroom apartment. The three bedrooms are priced from $1.565 million.
Plus Architecture has sought coastal residences that capture the essence of the village’s laid-back beachside culture.
PAMA is probably its most tropical-inspired design, architect Danny Juric said.
The project’s resort-style amenities will include a 20m heated pool with a sand beach, a barbecue kitchen and bar area, outdoor showers and designated dog wash bay.
PAMA is the 18th coastal project Plus Architecture unveiled in 2021, but the first just over the NSW border.
Plus Architecture ensured every apartment can capture views of the ocean in its design of Niña, the latest Chevron Island apartment development.
The second Chevron Island project from the Sydney-based Macquarie York, Niña will rise 23 levels from its Parnerno Street address.
Late last year longstanding South East Queensland developer, Drew Group, got the green light from the City of Gold Coast for the Lagoon project - the largest single-site to be developed at Main Beach since the 1990s.
Lagoon, which will launch to the market in early this year, has been designed by Plus Architecture, has 248 apartments across two towers at 11 Cronin Avenue.
The towers, 23 and 31 levels, will have 189 two-bedroom apartments and 59 three-bedroom apartments, along with a selection of garden terraces, three-bedroom sub-penthouses, and dual-level, four- bedroom penthouses.
Plus Architecture has also designed a 38-level tower which will home 35 full-floor apartments at Surfers Paradise for the local developer Ayrton Mansi.
The plans for 17-19 First Avenue, 200 metres from the beach, saw Plus Architecture say the design was inspired by the "dynamic theatre of the ocean."
There's also the six-storey development, Cleo, at 2265-2269 Gold Coast Highway in the heart of Nobbys village precinct designed by Plus Architecture for Big Projects, the local Gold Coast development and construction firm.
