First look: New Surfers Paradise apartment tower planned for Cannes Avenue
A Sydney investor has filed plans for a short-term holiday rental tower on the corner of Cannes Avenue and the Gold Coast Highway in Surfers Paradise.
The tower, designed by Archidiom, will comprise 29 one and two-bedroom apartments, and two villas, on an irregular shaped 955 sqm site across 4 Cannes Avenue and 2830 Gold Coast Highway. The site wraps around the back of the Surfers Paradise Motor Inn.
Cannes Avenue, south of Neddy Harper Park, isn't well known for multi-res developments. The most popular was Marquee Development Partners' One Cannes, which is approaching completion. That followed Marquee's first project on the exclusive street, Cannes Waterfront.
The proposed development will have 21 one-bedroom apartments and eight two-bedroom apartments, as well as two two-bedroom villas.
The main building will be crowned by a rooftop pool, spa, and a barbecue recreational area under an open pergola. Part of the project will be 40 parking spaces and 14 bicycle spaces.
The Landscape Intent Statement, prepared by Sydney-based landscape architecture firm LDG LA, said the landscape design provides a unique, contemporary and sophisticated character.
"The design complements the proposed architectural style whilst acknowledging the prominent coastal location of the site and context within Surfers Paradise and the Gold Coast region.
"The design intends to cater for its residents’ modern lifestyle requirements and encourage outdoor living and an active engagement with the beach environment.
"The landscape provides a place of sanctuary with relaxed leisure opportunities, comfortable pedestrian access and spatial and visual variety for interest."
