First look at Harbour Shores, the Gold Coast's most sustainable new master planned community by Lewis Land
Lewis Land has unveiled images of the Gold Coast’s newest and most sustainable masterplanned community, Harbour Shores in Biggera Waters, ahead of its formal launch in early 2024.
Boasting a 6 Star Green Star Communities V1.1 rating – the highest ever achieved on the Gold Coast – Harbour Shores will deliver more than 2,000 homes over the next 10 years.
Lewis Land Chief Executive Officer, Brett Draffen, said Harbour Shores represents the largest and most dynamic community development in the group’s 65-year history.
“Lewis Land has built a trusted history of delivering exceptional communities,” Draffen said.
“In March we will launch the first residential releases at Harbour Shores, including a collection of waterfront villa residences, two mid-rise residential apartment buildings, and the large community park.
“Registrations of interest opened this week to enable our team to work through the large volume of enquiries and share more of our vision for this landmark precinct.”
Draffen said Harbour Shores has been designed as a ‘village of villages’, where neighbourhoods are connected by extensive landscaping, green spaces and pedestrian networks, including a 1.2-kilometre
boardwalk along the canal front.
“More than 200,000 new native and tropical plants will immerse the residential spaces in nature, alongside a high level of resort-style amenity,” he said.
“The design approach also includes a significant focus on architecture and diverse housing typologies that embrace the Gold Coast’s enviable climate.”
Lewis Land is one of the northern Gold Coast’s most prolific developers, pioneering the creation of the Sovereign Islands, Ephraim Island, Paradise Point Keys, Huntington Harbour and Harbour Town,
redefining luxury, lifestyle and destination retail.
Draffen said the 16-hectare Harbour Shores site, located directly opposite Harbour Town, was one of the last remaining large-scale, greenfield waterfront development sites on the Gold Coast.
“Harbour Shores will proudly deliver under the Gold Coast City Plan by creating a new urban neighbourhood close to major employment hubs, health and retail infrastructure, recreation facilities and transport, including the proposed light rail,” he said.
“The community will be entirely fossil fuel free and over 80% of construction waste will be reused or recycled.”
Upon completion, Harbour Shores will deliver more than 2,000 dwellings, communal open spaces and parklands, a waterfront boardwalk, private marina berths, retail and commercial spaces, and a range of resident amenities including resort-style pools, sauna, clubhouse and tennis court.
