First look exclusive: Gallery Group to create neighbour to Chalk, Surfers Paradise apartment development
The national property developer Gallery Group has submitted plans for an apartment tower next door to their currently in market project, Chalk.
A few months ago Gallery Group, led by Adam Barclay, amended their plans for Chalk, reducing their massive tower from 35 levels down to 20, and changing the mix to be weighted to two-bedrooms, a stark contrast from the 250 sqm apartments offered in the original plans.
They've not made the same mistake twice, filing plans for a tower next door also dominated by two beds.
There will be 93 apartments, with over two thirds of the product mix two-beds. There will be 26 three-bed apartments and two four-bedroom skyhomes, as well as a ground level business centre, a gym on level 11, and a pool on level 12.
The project has been dubbed Surf Parade North by architects MAS in their planning documentation, due to its proximity to Chalk.
MAS took cues from Chalk, with the aim to create a "distinctly recognisable form that integrates into the established character of the area, whilst complementing its southern neighbour.
"Apartments have been designed with coastal living at the forefront of mind, with expansive living zones transitioning out to articulated balconies, offering privacy and comfort and encouraging the notion of sub-tropical Queensland living," MAS noted in their submission to the Gold Coast Council.
"The flowing façade of the north references the movement of water, whilst the articulation of the south responds directly to the buildings solar orientation and relationship with ‘Surf Parade South.’"
Currently on the site is three single-storey dwellings.
