Cielo Group launch Bloom, Bilinga apartments
The Brisbane-based Cielo Group has taken advantage of a short supply for prestige apartments in the small, tightly held Gold Coast suburb of Bilinga.
Cielo Group, led by Justin O'Donnell and Azemm Dannaoui, had been looking for an opportunity to break in to the Gold Coast for about year, before finding the 503 sqm site at 55 Golden Four Drive, just north of Kirra's dress circle Musgrave Street.
GV Property Group sold the site, with plans by Boris Design for a six-level building with five apartments, ranging in size from two and four-bedrooms, with some of the bigger four-bedders spanning two levels.
But when Cielo secured the site, they engaged the Brisbane architecture firm Z Architects, who they had worked with extensively in the Queensland capital on a number of projects, to create something more striking.
They came up with Bloom, a nine-level building with nine whole floor apartments. They created the three-bedroom plus multi-purpose room apartments with a laid back coastal luxury design. Each of the three bedrooms have their own walk-in wardrobes, while the master also has an ensuite.
The apartments have been oriented to face the beach, with the open plan kitchen (which features a dedicated bar area), living and dining space, opening to an east-facing balcony. The majority of the apartments have views over the beach.
The resident amenity is located on the roof, so each resident can enjoy the sweeping beach views. On the 200 sqm roof is a swimming pool, barbecue area, and outdoor dining.
There's already been huge appetite for the project through CBRE Gold Coast.
Cielo's Justin O'Donnell said the product was designed to be suited to a wider range of buyers that what has generally been on offer just south in Kirra.
"We might not be offering that beachfront product, but the fact is we're only 200 metres to the sand, and are offering something equal in the high-level of finishes and interiors, without the beach price point, which seems to be attracting a lot of buyers."
