First look exclusive: Arena Property seeks first high-rise tower with Bella Vie, Main Beach apartment plans
Boutique developer Arena Property has filed plans for its largest tower to date.
Arena, the developer behind the luxury low-rise apartment development Lana Bilinga, is proposing a 28-level building in Main Beach.
Plus Architecture has designed the tower, named Belle Vie—French for "beautiful life"—to feature two distinct sections, separated by an amenities level on the 18th floor. This facilities level includes a residents' lounge with a games area, a library, and various lounge spaces.
Adjacent to the lounge, is a wine cellar, a private dining room, and an outdoor sunset dining area. This level also offers a dedicated work-from-home space with a boardroom, as well as a 91 sqm gym that includes a Pilates studio, a sunrise yoga deck, and a functional training room.
The levels beneath 18 incorporate 56 quarter-floor, two-bedroom apartments, each with a study or multi-purpose room, while above level 18 are 14 half-floor, three-bed units.
There are two four-bedroom apartments, the three-level penthouses, each with a dedicated home office and its own 120 sqm plus rooftop with a pool, spa, outdoor kitchen, lawn, and firepit area.
There are more amenities on the top of the podium, in the form of a swimming pool with a spa and a wet deck, hot and cold plunges, and a sauna.
The three-level podium, and basement, will have parking for 100 vehicles.
Plus said Bella Vie is situated in a pristine Main Beach location, on an amalgamted 1,010 sqm site at 47-49 Pacific Street, currently occupied by a three-level walk-up with 12 units.
"The site is flanked by two neighbouring tennis courts, providing a rare offering of expansive ocean, river and skyline views across various aspects of the site."
Plus, led locally by Danny Juric, said the building provides the "ultimate escape in luxury barefoot lifestyle."
"Stepping into the lobby from Pacific Street, passing through an under croft of green, residents par take in the experience a lush garden lobby. A tiered podium which is softly sculpted across three levels acts as a landing for planters, addressing the street interface. The podium continues and enhances the existing landscaped streetscape, to provide a rich and welcoming connection with ground plane."
Main Beach is undergoing a huge transformation from a lifestyle perspective with the redevelopment of the Marina Mirage shopping precinct, the Manta Ray residential and commercial development and Ritz Carlton hotel among several other key developments that will put Main Beach on the world map.
Jon Drew's Drew Group is working toward a late 2025 completion of Lagoon Main Beach, one of the most popular developments in the suburb in the last few years, while Tye Alroe's Alroe Construction has recently launched Lune Main Beach, just six villa-style apartments opposite Broadwater.
