First look: The Gold Coast's largest penthouse pitched for new Surfers Paradise tower
A new tower has been pitched in Surfers Paradise, offering some of the largest apartments Surfers Paradise has ever seen.
The Sydney-based YHY Group has sought to develop a 33-level building with 74 dwellings across an amalgamated triple site incorporating 56, 58 and 60 Sunset Boulevarde on the Nerang River.
Mode Design Corp submitted the architectural plans, stating the tower will redefine luxury on the Gold Coast and will "craft an exclusive sanctuary where glamour, privacy, and nature converge seamlessly."
"Designed as an elevated haven on the Gold Coast, the tower draws inspiration from the natural elements—sky, water, greenery, and stone—and offers residents a harmonious blend of high-end design and biophilic appeal."
"Sculptural facades and curving forms create a visually captivating tower, accentuated by layered glass balustrades, balconies and feature glazing that gracefully wrap around the structure, capturing light while shielding from direct sun, ensuring comfortable interiors with uninterrupted vistas."
Pitched is a single, three-level villa on the ground floor with six bedrooms and a pool, beneath a full-floor apartment with six bedrooms.
The building is split in two, with 16 three-bedroom, half-floor apartments, with a minimum of 345 sqm of internal space, running up to the two levels of amenities.
The ninth level will feature a kids play area with an adjoining creche, a lap pool that runs along the edge of the building, a recovery space with a sauna and steam room, a yoga room, a gym, golf simulator, and a wellness spa with a treatment room and a massage room.
Above is another swimming pool, this one with an integrated pool bar and spa which has been oriented to offer gun-barrel views to the Surfers skyline. On the same level is a lounge, a bookable lounge with a kitchen, and a business centre.
Above will be three units per floor, three, four and five-bed apartments until level 33, where the two-level north and south penthouses start. They will have six and five bedrooms each, as well as an MPR room, a sauna, and their own private pools.
The "Ultra Penthouse" is one of the largest ever pitched on the Gold Coast at 1,449 sqm of internal living space.
The ground level is set to feature a grand entry lobby, a cigar room, a cellar, library, study, bar and multiple entertaining areas.
There are five bedrooms spread across the five levels, as well as two staff quarters. The top level is dedicated just to a master suite, with a sauna, a gym, and a spa on the balcony. Including external space, the penthouse totals 2,239 sqm.
"This oasis in the sky exemplifies opulent high-end luxury living, where architecture and environment unite to create an extraordinary, luxurious lifestyle along the Gold Coast," Mode added.
The penthouse is larger than the one atop Chevron One, currently under construction on Chevron Island.
The penthouse, which is set to be retained by Elias Jreissati, the chairman of Chevron One developer Bensons Property Group, measures over 1,700 sqm in total – 946 sqm internal and a further 774 sqm under roof of external space.
The new development is a few doors down from Sunset Residences, the more boutique 43-apartment development soon to launch by Roy Skaf's Macquarie York at 50 Sunset Boulevarde.
