Low-rise four-pack planned for Gold Coast Highway site in Palm Beach

A Gold Coast Highway site that was sold last year is set to become a boutique apartment building. 

It was the first time in four decades the 455 sqm site at 1367 Gold Coast Highway had sold.

A six-level building, including the roof level, has been put forward to the Gold Coast City Council.

There will be just four full-floor apartments, a rooftop with a swimming pool and deck, and a ground-level communal lounge and multi-purpose room.

Each of the apartments in the Plus Architecture-designed building will have three bedrooms, a multi-purpose room, and an open plan kitchen, living and dining space which meets a balcony.

Local landscape architecture firm LDGLA handled the landscaping. 

They said the project represents an "attractive landscape setting which promotes a beachside aesthetic and relaxed coastal atmosphere."

"The design complements the proposed architectural style whilst acknowledging the prominent coastal location of the site and context within Palm Beach 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."

The site is ideally located for connectivity. There are five Translink bus stops within 400 metres of the project, and a station as part of the new light rail is proposed at Nineteenth Avenue, just 340 metres south.
